What is Cognitive Hypnotherapy and how is it different?
Cognitive Hypnotherapy is significantly different from the traditional schools of Hypnotherapy. It draws on recent discoveries and ideas from Evolutionary Psychology, Positive Psychology, Cognitive theory and NLP and incorporates them all seamlessly into a modern idea of hypnosis as therapy. It does not advocate one single approach as the answer to all problems but allows me to draw from many different disciplines moulded into an approach which is individually tailored for the specific needs of each client.
Changing minds. Changing lives
We all have to accept changes are inevitable in life, but often changing ourselves can seem almost impossible. Often we don’t even try. We prefer to ‘blame’ the world for being too challenging and we end up feeling out of control and thoroughly stuck. With the techniques of Hypnotherapy, I can help you meet life’s challenges head-on and help bring about those internal changes that will be most powerful. You will discover that you CAN change and that the process of change does not need to be painful or even lengthy.
Hypnotherapy is not a quick fix - though life-changing results can often happen after just a session or two. The process is about uncovering and changing long-term, deep-seated beliefs that sit in your unconscious mind which may be working against you
Research
QCH launched a research project in 2011. Using a team of QCH therapists, clients with anxiety and depression were assessed using the same measures currently used to assess the effectiveness of talking therapies within the NHS. The pilot study was published in the Mental Health Review Journal.
71% considered themselves recovered after an average of 4 sessions. This compared to an average of 42% for other approaches using the same measures (like CBT). To our knowledge, this is the only hypnotherapy approach validated in this way.

Revealing the best you
This unique form of therapy encourages you to let go of those out-dated fears and limiting beliefs, leading you to finding your purpose again and more able to view life through fresh eyes. The techniques are designed to help to reveal the best you, the you who is having the most fun being you, enjoying life and handling the inevitable difficult stuff in more positive ways.
“There is no passion to be found in settling for a life than is less than the one you are capable of living.”
