Private CBT Hypnotherapy

Calm, grounded hypnotherapy for lasting change

Are you feeling stuck in patterns that don’t seem to shift, no matter how much insight or effort you apply?

Do you feel anxious, mentally overloaded, emotionally stretched, or constantly “on edge”, even when life looks manageable from the outside?

Have you tried talking things through, only to find the same responses returning under pressure?

If so, you’re not alone and you don’t need to force your way through it.

I offer calm, evidence-based CBT-informed hypnotherapy for adults and young people, working both online and in person in Stamford, Lincolnshire. My work supports change at a nervous-system and subconscious level, where patterns of stress, anxiety, and emotional response are actually formed and maintained.

Sessions take place in a confidential, supportive environment, with a steady, contained approach that allows your system to settle so clarity, confidence, and change can follow naturally.

How hypnotherapy helps

Many people come to hypnotherapy after trying to “think their way out” of a problem. While insight is helpful, it’s often not enough on its own, particularly when the nervous system has been under prolonged strain.

Hypnotherapy works by gently accessing subconscious patterns that influence how you think, feel, and respond. These patterns often sit beneath conscious awareness and can keep anxiety, habits, or emotional responses repeating, even when you logically understand what’s happening.

By working at this level, hypnotherapy supports change in the part of the mind that regulates emotional reactions, stress responses, and automatic behaviours, without force.

Many clients notice a sense of calm, clarity, or internal shift even after the first session.

CBT and hypnotherapy — why they work well together

My work integrates hypnotherapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).

CBT helps identify and restructure unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours. Hypnotherapy supports change at a deeper, subconscious and physiological level. When used together, they complement each other.

Research indicates that combining CBT with hypnotherapy can lead to more efficient and longer-lasting outcomes than using either approach on its own. This integrated approach allows us to address both the cognitive understanding of a problem and the internal patterns that sustain it, helping change to stabilise more effectively over time.

The aim is not to manage symptoms indefinitely, but to support meaningful, durable change.

I work with people experiencing:

• Anxiety and chronic stress

• Overthinking and mental overload

• Emotional overwhelm or difficulty regulating emotions

• Sleep issues and insomnia

• Phobias or persistent habits

• Low confidence and self-doubt

• Feeling under pressure, burnt out, or constantly on edge

• Young people navigating anxiety, stress, or confidence challenges

You don’t need to have everything clearly defined before starting. We work together to understand what your system needs in order to change.

My approach

My work combines hypnotherapy, CBT-informed techniques, and nervous-system regulation.

Rather than forcing change or repeatedly revisiting the past, we focus on creating the internal conditions where change becomes possible. Sessions are calm, practical and paced in a way that feels safe and respectful for you.

This approach supports your system to move out of survival mode and into a more settled, resilient state, where clarity, emotional balance and confidence can emerge naturally.

Each session is tailored to you. There is no “one size fits all” process.

What to expect from sessions

• A calm, confidential space

• A collaborative and respectful approach

• CBT-informed techniques

• Nervous-system-aware work that supports regulation

• Hypnotherapy for relaxation and subconscious change

• Practical tools you can use between sessions

Hypnotherapy sessions

I offer private hypnotherapy sessions online via Zoom or Google Meet, as well as in person at The Broad Street Practice in Stamford, Lincolnshire.

Hypnotherapy is equally effective online and in person, with the same outcomes. Clients travel from Stamford and surrounding areas to work with me in a quiet, supportive setting where they can feel safe to relax and focus on themselves.

Sessions are available by appointment.
