Thierry | Counsellor/Therapist

Counselling and Hypnotherapy Caterham

I'm Thierry, a counsellor and hypnotherapist offering a safe, supportive space for emotional healing. I tailor sessions to individual needs, helping clients navigate anxiety, grief, guilt, and personal growth.

I integrate humanistic, psychodynamic, CBT, and holistic techniques like EFT and hypnotherapy to create lasting change. As a volunteer for Mind and previously Headway, I'm deeply committed to empowering others to overcome challenges and unlock their full potential.

Your Journey Towards Healing Starts Here

Taking the first step towards therapy can feel daunting, but you are not alone. I offer a gentle, supportive space where you can explore emotions and challenges at your own pace. I understand how important it is to feel safe, truly understood and supported in therapy, so I make sure every session is tailored to your needs.

I have experience in various conditions, including anxiety, loss, grief, anger, and guilt. I also offer counselling for individuals with acquired brain injuries from strokes, accidents, or other causes. My role is to offer my clients unwavering support in a space free from judgment, where you feel empowered to understand your struggles and embrace new areas of growth. Therapy is your journey, and I am here to support you every step of the way.

I currently volunteer for the mental health charity Mind, and previously volunteered for Headway, a charity supporting people with brain injuries.

My Approach—Tailored to You

I believe that therapy should be adapted to the individual, which is why I integrate different approaches to best suit your unique needs. My practice is rooted in pluralistic counselling, meaning I combine techniques from multiple therapeutic models to create a personalised experience for you.

• Humanistic Therapy – This approach is client-centred, meaning you are always in control of the pace and focus of our sessions. It emphasises self-exploration, personal growth, and emotional healing in a non-judgmental space where you can truly express yourself.

• Psychodynamic Therapy – Sometimes, past experiences shape how we feel and react in the present. This approach helps you explore deep-seated emotions, unconscious patterns, and unresolved issues, giving you a greater understanding of yourself and your relationships.

• Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) – If unhelpful thoughts or behaviours are holding you back, CBT can help you identify, challenge, and replace those patterns with healthier alternatives.

In addition to these core approaches, I can support your emotional well-being with breathing techniques, mindfulness exercises, and solution-focused therapies like hypnotherapy, Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT), Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT/Tapping), coaching, and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP).

Whether using traditional counselling or tailored therapies, my goal is to ensure each session feels safe, supportive and effective.

The Power of Hypnotherapy

Have you ever wondered why, despite your best efforts, certain fears, habits, or negative thoughts persist? That’s because true transformation happens at the subconscious level—the part of your mind that drives behaviour. Hypnotherapy bypasses the critical, analytical conscious mind and works directly with the subconscious to create deep, lasting change.

How Hypnotherapy Can Help You

Hypnotherapy is a powerful tool that can help you:

✅ Feel calmer and more in control—reduce stress and anxiety before they lead to panic attacks

✅ Face your fears with confidence—overcome phobias and anxieties

✅ Master public speaking and overcome impostor syndrome

✅ Build unshakable confidence and self-esteem

✅ Break free from habits—quit smoking or vaping

✅ Achieve your weight loss goals with greater resilience

✅ Improve sleep quality and rest deeply

✅ Manage pain more effectively

If you’re struggling with something that’s holding you back, let’s explore how hypnotherapy can help you.

Quit Smoking with Hypnotherapy

Smoking is one of the hardest habits to break because it is deeply ingrained in your subconscious. Hypnotherapy works directly with the part of your mind where this habit started, helping you reprogram your response to cravings and triggers. When combined with mindset coaching and proven techniques for managing cravings, quitting smoking becomes more achievable than ever.

Hypnotherapy for Weight Loss & Body Confidence

Weight struggles aren’t just about food—they’re often linked to self-esteem, stress, and emotional patterns. Hypnotherapy can help you:

• Reshape the way you feel about food and your body

• Boost confidence in your ability to achieve your goals

• Create lasting habits that support healthy choices

You don’t have to rely on sheer willpower alone—I can support you on your journey toward feeling healthier, happier, and more resilient.
