About me
Hello, I'm Catherine, I am a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist who is able to support you in making positive changes in your life, health and work.
I have supported many clients with anxiety, phobia, insomnia and sleep problems, and managing pain. I can support you in overcoming unwanted habits, including smoking, eating and alcohol misuse. In addition to working with clients of all ages, I have enhanced DBS clearance and I am experienced in working with young people and adolescents.
As a therapist I am responsive to what you want to achieve.
My approach is collaborative, working with you to find solutions and build your resources for self-understanding. My clients notice improvements in their interactions both at home and in the workplace (see testimonials).
Choosing a therapist is an important decision, you want to be confident you are working with someone who is well trained and compliant with professional, ethical and statutory frameworks.
You are welcome to take a look at my full profile on National Hypnotherapy Council website, visit my own website, or why not give me a call.

Information about health conditions (*)
Hypnotherapy can enhance the well-being of individuals diagnosed with serious medical conditions, but should not take the place of medical treatment and advice. If you have been diagnosed with - or suspect you may have - any of these conditions, please speak to your doctor before starting hypnotherapy.
