Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (Hypno-CBT®️)
Hypno-CBT®️ – what is it and how does it work?
With a strong evidence base, Hypno-CBT®️seamlessly integrates hypnosis with CBT.
By tapping into the power of the imagination, we are able to challenge and replace negative or unhelpful thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Hypnotic rehearsal of desired behaviours and skills practice results in long- lasting and resilient adaptations to future problems
Both being large areas of research in psychology, hypnosis and CBT have a strong, scientific basis on which to claim effectiveness. In his short video I demystify some misconceptions and explain how hypnosis actually works!
Watch: How Hypno-CBT®️ can help you.
With Hypno-CBT®️ I can help you cope better with and resolve some of the common challenges in midlife and menopause, such as sleep disturbance, flushes, anxiety, brain fog, lack of motivation, confidence and self-esteem to name but a few.
Alongside biological and nutritional education, I provide support and guidance relating to weight, metabolic and hormonal changes as we age (in midlife and beyond). I use Hypno-CBT®️ to help with mindset, anxiety, motivation and techniques to reverse unhelpful habits, enabling you to make more mindful choices for wellbeing, to fully prosper, succeed, reach your desired goals and live life to the full – despite life stressors that may come along the way. Building coping and resilience skills for any future stressful situations (so that you can stop worrying about them and get on with living in present).
Both Hypnotherapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) have serious research evidence behind them to support their efficacy and the unique combination results in fewer sessions being needed, typically 5 or 6 sessions. Hypno-CBT®️ combines the use of the imagination focussed upon a dominant idea (for example how you want your behaviour to be) with cognitive behaviour techniques. If you suffer with worry, anxiety, or feeling continually lost in your thoughts – then you know the power of your own imagination. Our job together, is to train and harness your own imaginative powers in a way that solves your current and future difficulties.

Hypno-CBT®️ – can it help me?
Self Care
Are you constantly promising yourself that sometime soon, you will get out of that rut, start looking after yourself better, pay more attention to your stress levels, reduce unhealthy habits? Or maybe overwhelm and perfectionistic expectations are causing increased pressure, anxiety and reduced confidence and self-esteem?
Anxiety
Are you experiencing regular stress and worry that is negatively impacting your sleep? Are you putting off taking action on what is important to you, or avoiding certain situations or tasks? Do you find it hard to make decisions due to one big cycle of worry about the future or rumination over past events?
Where to start?
Maybe you’ve tried to tackle your sticking points by using various ‘help’ programs and services which promise rapid, even ‘transformational’ results? BUT…. they haven’t really changed anything for you? Well, no-one would blame you – it can be a minefield of overly hyped, ‘psycho-babble’ out there!
