Clinical Hypnotherapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Evidence-based therapy focused on the concerns affecting emotional and psychological wellbeing.
The clinic’s approach brings together Clinical Hypnotherapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. The process begins with an initial consultation and assessment, used to clarify the concerns being addressed and agree the most appropriate focus for the work.
The original purpose of Hypno Health Clinic remains the same: to help people overcome obstacles, develop a more flexible perspective and make changes that improve how they manage daily life.
Sessions are available online, with other arrangements discussed directly where appropriate.
The approaches
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
CBT is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on changing negative or unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour. It considers how thoughts, emotions, behaviours and circumstances interact, then uses practical strategies to shift patterns that are maintaining a difficulty.
It may be used to examine assumptions, understand the effect of avoidance or habits, develop more useful coping strategies and strengthen confidence in responding to difficult situations.
Clinical Hypnotherapy
Clinical Hypnotherapy uses hypnosis to help people enter a state of deep relaxation and focused attention. You remain fully aware and in control of your thoughts and actions throughout the session.
Within a therapeutic process, hypnosis can be used to work with strong emotional responses, habits, fears, sleep difficulties and patterns that have become automatic or difficult to change through insight alone.
Concerns addressed in therapy
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Clinical Hypnotherapy can be used individually or together. CBT addresses the thoughts, beliefs and behaviours maintaining a difficulty, while hypnotherapy works with focused attention to influence automatic responses, emotional reactions and entrenched patterns. The approach is adapted to the individual and the nature of the concern.
Anxiety, stress and emotional regulation
Persistent worry, panic, social anxiety, emotional overload, irritability and difficulty managing intense emotional responses.
Fears, phobias and avoidance
Specific fears, medical or dental anxiety, anticipatory anxiety and avoidance patterns that restrict everyday life.
Confidence, self-esteem and performance
Self-doubt, self-criticism, public speaking, examination or workplace pressure, decision-making and performance anxiety.
Habits and behavioural change
Procrastination, repetitive or unwanted habits, avoidance and established patterns of behaviour that have become difficult to change.
Sleep, pain and physical wellbeing
Sleep difficulties, stress-related physical symptoms, persistent pain and anxiety connected to health or medical procedures, alongside appropriate medical care.
Life changes, relationships and young people
Adjustment to difficult events or transitions, relationship changes, adolescent anxiety, school pressure, confidence, emotional regulation and parent-adolescent communication.
