Specialisations and Expertises

What to Expect / How Sessions Work

1. Understand: We explore how your thoughts, feelings, and body responses are linked so you feel less “broken” and more understood. This might include recognising the patterns that keep you stuck, such as people-pleasing, difficulty saying no, or feeling like you’re “never enough

2. Rehearse: In hypnosis, you safely practise calmer, healthier responses  whether that’s staying steady in a situation that once caused panic, or calmly voicing your needs without guilt. This is also a powerful way to rehearse new beliefs about yourself, helping you loosen the grip of imposter syndrome and start trusting your own worth.

3. Apply: We design gentle, step-by-step actions that feel doable, not overwhelming. That might mean testing out a boundary with a colleague, saying yes to something you’d usually avoid, or practising a presentation without the old fear taking over. Each step builds confidence and shows you what you’re capable of.

4. Anchor: You leave with tools that become part of your everyday life strategies to quiet anxious thoughts, techniques to handle phobias, and practical skills for setting boundaries, being more assertive, and growing genuine self-confidence. These become lifelong resources you can return to whenever you need.

FAQs

Will I lose control in hypnosis?
No. Hypnosis is a relaxed, focused state. You hear everything, remain in control, and we only work on what feels right for you.

How many sessions will I need?
Phobias often improve in 4–8 sessions. Broader anxiety can take longer, but most clients notice positive shifts early on.

What if I’ve tried other therapies before?
CBH is practical, structured, and goes at your pace. We don’t push, we gently build confidence with tools that last.

Most common issues I support people with:

Top Issues I Help With

1. Anxiety
Anxiety can show up in so many ways a palpitations, a knot in your stomach, constant “what if” thoughts, or a sense that you can’t ever switch off. It can feel like you’re always on alert, waiting for something bad to happen. In therapy, we work together to calm the body, retrain unhelpful thought patterns, and build confidence so you feel steady, not stuck.

2. Phobias
Phobias can quietly shrink your world from avoiding holidays because of a flying fear, to driving miles out of your way to avoid motorways, or dreading blood tests and needles. The fear feels overwhelming, even when you “know” it’s irrational. Using Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy, we combine calm mental rehearsal with gentle, step-by-step exposure so you can face fears with growing confidence and ease.

3. Peri-menopause & Hormone-Related Anxiety
Hormonal changes can play havoc with your mind as well as your body. Many women notice their anxiety spikes, their mood dips, or they feel like their confidence has suddenly disappeared. Add brain fog and sleepless nights into the mix, and it can feel overwhelming. In therapy, we address the thought patterns, physical stress response, and self-doubt that hormones can amplify giving you tools to feel calmer, clearer, and more like yourself again.

4. Sleep Difficulties
Lying awake with your mind racing, waking in the night with dread, or never feeling rested in the morning, poor sleep can take a huge toll. Often it’s anxiety or overthinking that keeps you wired when you most need rest. Together, we work on calming the nervous system, creating healthier sleep routines, and using gentle hypnotherapy techniques to switch off intrusive thoughts, so bedtime becomes a time of rest again.

5. Excessive Thoughts & Overthinking
It’s exhausting when your mind never seems to stop replaying past conversations, worrying about what’s next, or running through endless “what if” scenarios. Overthinking can leave you drained, second-guessing yourself, and unable to relax even when nothing’s wrong. In therapy, I’ll help you learn how to notice and step back from these thoughts, quieten the mental noise, and focus on what actually matters, so your mind feels clearer and lighter.
