About me
Are anxiety, fear, difficult experiences or unwanted patterns stopping you from living the life you want? Perhaps you know what you would like to change, but no matter how much you think about it or try to reason with yourself, something keeps pulling you back.
You don’t have to stay stuck.
Hi, I’m Catherine, a qualified and accredited Clinical Hypnotherapist and experienced mind-body practitioner based in Leamington Spa. I help people understand and change the deeper patterns behind how they think, feel and respond, so they can move forward feeling calmer, stronger and more in control.
Some clients notice a meaningful shift from their very first session, perhaps feeling calmer, lighter, more hopeful, or experiencing a different perspective on something that has troubled them for a long time. Everyone is different, however and therapy is always tailored to you and your individual needs.
I work with adults, teenagers and children experiencing anxiety, stress and burnout, fears and phobias, trauma and difficult past experiences, low confidence and self-worth, sleep difficulties, unwanted habits and other emotional or behavioural patterns that may be affecting everyday life.
More than simply managing the symptom
Sometimes the difficulty you are experiencing today is only part of the story. My approach is not simply about teaching you to cope with a symptom. Together, we gently explore what may be underneath it, the thoughts, emotions, experiences and patterns that could be keeping you stuck, while helping you develop a different relationship with yourself and with what you are experiencing.
I offer a warm, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you can feel safe, heard and understood. There is no one-size-fits-all approach: every therapeutic plan is created around you.
Alongside Clinical Hypnotherapy, where appropriate, I integrate elements of my wider training in EMDR and mind-body approaches to help support emotional and physical regulation.
Your support also continues between our sessions. I create personalised hypnosis recordings for my clients, at no additional cost, so you can reinforce the work we have done together and continue supporting positive change at home.
You may have been struggling for months or even years, but that does not mean you have to feel this way forever. Sometimes the first step is simply having a conversation with someone who will listen, understand and help you find a different way forward.
Training, qualifications & experience
My approach is supported by extensive training across hypnotherapy, EMDR and complementary mind-body therapies. This allows me to tailor my work to the individual rather than relying on one technique or a one-size-fits-all approach.
I am committed to ongoing professional development and continue to deepen my knowledge and therapeutic skills through further study and training.

Member organisations
Hypnotherapists may become members of the General Hypnotherapy Register if they satisfy certain criteria with regard to both training and ongoing requirements as determined from time to time by the General Hypnotherapy Standards Council (GHSC). Members are either registered at Practitioner status (which confirms that the GHR acknowledges their qualification to practice), or Affiliate status. Although Affiliate level registrants will have completed a sufficient number of training hours to equip them to commence seeing clients on a limited basis, the GHR does not acknowledge them to have yet been trained to full practitioner level. All GHR Registered Practitioners are required to accept the published Code of Ethics and Complaints & Disciplinary Procedure.
Areas of hypnotherapy I deal with
info 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.
Other areas of hypnotherapy I deal with
Depending on your individual needs and goals, I may integrate complementary therapeutic approaches alongside hypnotherapy to support both mind and body:
EMDR – to support the processing of difficult or traumatic experiences
Breathwork and nervous system regulation – to help reduce stress and restore a greater sense of calm and safety
Yoga Nidra and guided deep relaxation – to encourage deep physical and mental relaxation
Mindfulness and body-based awareness – helping you recognise thoughts, emotions and physical responses without becoming overwhelmed by them
Gestalt-informed techniques – to explore emotions, patterns and unresolved experiences with greater awareness and self-compassion
Everything is tailored to you and introduced gently and at a pace that feels manageable. This can be particularly valuable when working with anxiety, trauma, heightened stress responses or long-standing emotional patterns.
My aim is to help you feel safe and supported throughout the process, while giving your mind and body the opportunity to develop new, healthier ways of responding.
