Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (CBH)
“You don't have to control your thoughts. You just have to stop letting them control you.”— Dan Millman
What if you could change the patterns that are keeping you stuck?
Maybe you overthink everything. Maybe anxiety is stopping you from doing things you'd like to do. Maybe you keep checking, avoiding,
worrying or seeking reassurance even though you know it isn't helping.
Or perhaps you simply feel like you're stuck in patterns you understand intellectually, but can't seem to change.
You don't have to be defined by your thoughts, fears or habits.
Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (CBH) combines Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), therapeutic hypnosis and mindfulness to help you understand the patterns that are keeping you stuck and develop more helpful ways of responding.
Sessions are personalised to you, with practical strategies that you can use outside of therapy -
helping you build greater awareness, confidence and choice in how you respond to difficult thoughts, emotions and situations.
How can CBH help?
CBH can support you with a range of difficulties, including:
Anxiety disorders, stress, unhelpful thoughts overthinking and worry.
Burn out, relaxation and nervous system regulation.
Changing unwanted habits and patterns of behaviour
Low mood, negative thoughts and emotional difficulties
Improving confidence and low self esteem.
Anger management and emotional regulation
Recovery from trauma and PTSD
Panic attacks, phobias and fears.
How does CBH work?
CBH brings together three complementary approaches:
CBT- understanding your patterns
CBT explores the relationship between thoughts, feelings, physical sensations and behaviours.
Together, we'll look at the cycles that may be keeping difficulties going and identify opportunities to respond differently.
The aim isn't to simply “think positively”. It's about developing a clearer understanding of what's happening and learning practical ways to change patterns that aren't helping you.
Hypnosis -focused attention
Hypnosis involves a state of focused attention and increased absorption, often accompanied by relaxation.
Within therapy, it can provide an opportunity to practise new responses, mentally rehearse
different ways of responding and strengthen the strategies you're developing.
You remain aware, involved and in control throughout.
Mindfulness - Creating space to respond
Mindfulness helps you notice thoughts, feelings and physical sensations with greater awareness and less judgement.
Rather than automatically reacting to every thought or feeling, you can learn to notice what's happening and create space to choose how you respond.
Bringing it together
These approaches complement one another.
CBT helps you understand the pattern, explore thoughts, behaviours and how they impact you.
Mindfulness helps you notice the pattern without automatically getting caught up in it.
Hypnosis can help you practise and reinforce new ways of responding.
Together, they can help you develop greater awareness, flexibility, confidence and choice. The aim isn't to eliminate difficult thoughts or emotions - it's to help you feel less controlled by them.
“Change your thoughts, and you change your world."

What can you expect from sessions?
There is no one-size-fits-all approach.
We'll start by understanding what you're experiencing, what you would like to change and what may be keeping the problem going. From there, we'll develop a personalised approach using techniques that are appropriate for you.
Sessions may include exploring thought and behaviour patterns, practical CBT exercises, mindfulness techniques, therapeutic hypnosis and strategies to practise between sessions.
You don't have to know exactly what's wrong or how to fix it before you come. That's something we can work out together.
