About me

My name is Catherine Embleton and I am an intuitive led and creative Cognitive Hypnotherapist, NLP practitioner and Coach, passionate about personal transformation, becoming free within yourself, being able to process your own triggers, and bringing you home to yourself so you can live a life of joy, freedom, peace and purpose. l specialise is working with anxiety, self doubt, addictions and feeling stuck or lost in life.

I am based in Clifton, Bristol and Stroud whilst also working online.

See my 40+ 5 star reviews on google to get direct feedback from previous clients and about how l can help you make that change so you can create a life you choose.

TRANSFORMING YOUR PAST SO YOU CAN DECIDE YOUR FUTURE.

I know how to get you from surviving to thriving, from anxiety to calm, from doubt to confidence, from worry to peace, and live a life that you are happy with. 

I help people become free within themselves by unlocking the power and potential of their subconscious mind. I offer a supportive, gentle yet powerful service that puts you first and alters each session to suit exactly what you need. I use a combination of hypnotherapy techniques, talking therapy and practical activities, alongside providing you exercises that you can use in day-to-day life. This allows you to strengthen your mental and emotional wellbeing, shift habits, transform your reactions, understand your behaviours & emotions, let go of your blocks, so you can feel more in control of yourself and your life. So you can reconnect to yourself in a positive and powerful way, feeling happier, more relaxed, able to fully enjoy things and feel more connected to your passions and purpose in life.

Using a combination of problem-focused & solution-focused therapy to get to the root of your problem in a supportive and safe way.  So that you can become empowered through understanding how your brain works, why your problem is there, where it came from, and have the tools to support yourself and live life the way you most want to. 

What is Cognitive Hypnotherapy?

What makes Cognitive Hypnotherapy different from other forms of Hypnotherapy?We draw from Positive Psychology, Evolutionary Psychology, Cognitive Theory, NLP and modern hypnosis, the sessions create a supportive new framework that offers a modern, effective and evidence-based therapy. We do not believe in the traditional ‘one size fits all’ model so we tailor each session to each client for the best results. We use hypnosis, also known as trance, to tap into the client’s unconscious mind and find out where the problem, behaviour, thought or emotion originates, and use specific and tailored techniques to let them go. The next step is to instill more positive and healthy beliefs, thoughts and emotions to rewire the brain and create lasting change. As the mind can’t tell the difference between what we imagine and what we actually see and experience, we can use the plasticity of the brain to shift it to our desired way of being. This shift makes way for healthier thoughts, responses and habits which lead to a happier and healthier way of living. 

A powerful, deep and transformational way of working which continues to get amazing results which is why Cognitive Hypnotherapy continues to grow in popularity.

Testimonials

I started sessions with Catherine to work on my self-confidence and become comfortable with using my voice both in my personal life and at work. The work I ended up doing with Catherine incorporated all of that and so much more; she is magic in human form. Catherine’s approach is gentle and structured in a way that instantly makes you feel calm and safe to explore things to whatever level you feel comfortable. It was emotional and difficult to face at times, but Catherine has an amazing way of holding space for you to start to do the same for yourself and at times set me tasks to work on between sessions to put all my learning into practice. Thank you for helping me come home to me. If you are thinking about booking sessions with her, you absolutely should - and you should tell your friends too! - Charlotte Cheesley

So happy to find Catherine - I initially saw her for help with anxiety and she really helped me get to the base of contributing factors using a number of techniques and practices. I've had a number of sessions each having a slightly different focus. Catherine leaves me feeling steady and positive about life and making the most. - Hester Lean

It has been a couple weeks since I finished my sessions with Catherine and my experience with her has continued to help me with my anxiety. At first I was a little unsure that hypnotherapy would be the right method for me, but it has opened my eyes to a whole new way of thinking. Catherine not only helped me with my anxiety, but other worries I was having that she was more than willing to support me with. She always made me feel so comfortable during our sessions and I left every time feeling like I had accomplished something big. I can’t thank Catherine enough for the help she has given me and could not recommend a more lovely person if you are thinking about having therapy. - Caroline Spencer

I have suffered with travel anxiety for a really long time, and decided that enough is enough. I researched therapy and hypnotherapy options, but after coming across Catherine's homepage, I had a feeling that she will be able to help, and she was. She made me feel safe and calm at our sessions, I could discuss my feelings/worries freely without feeling judged. She helped me with my travel anxiety as well as with my personal life, by giving me well-needed advice and guidance. Catherine provided me with our session audios, that I listened to before bed as well as before getting in vehicles.

Now I feel a lot more calm day before and on the day of travel, and I have to be honest and say that I feel more calm in my day to day life as well.

I would very much recommend Catherine for hypnotherapy sessions. Hypnotherapy can seem like a scary thing at first, but when someone as kind and lovely as Catharine is working with you, it will feel more like a walk in the park. - Linda

Catherine holds a genuinely caring, calm and steady space enabling me to dive deep within the heart and mind...to explore places of trauma and deep underlying fear that I would usually do anything to avoid. She is very attentive to detail...so very thorough in her approach to preparing the scene and welcoming me into a safe, vivid and playful environment.
Catherine has been so supportive in helping to open up and gently guide me down past pathways camouflaged within my memories, bringing me into a clear view of how those paths have led me to my current experience...and wonderfully generous in the techniques she incorporates into our sessions. The work we are doing provides me with limitless opportunities to choose from in how I proceed down, up and around the joyful and heartfelt journey ahead.
Great gratitude and authentic appreciation to you Catherine 🙏 - Ian Bracken

Find it hard to find words to express how wonderful this experience is with Catherine. Her warmth and empathy radiates and my anxiety has eased.
She has given me lots of exercises that I use to calm my busy mind and my negative intrusive thought pattern has disappeared. Cannot recommend highly enough!
Thank you Catherine!! - Lindzi Le Good
