About me
Hypnotherapy for Anxiety, Stress and Lasting Change
Do you find yourself feeling anxious, overwhelmed or stuck in patterns that you can't seem to change? Perhaps you worry excessively, struggle with panic or physical tension, or find yourself responding to situations in ways you'd rather not.
You might understand what's happening intellectually, yet still find it difficult to change how you feel.
I'm Dr Kate Delaney, a clinical hypnotherapist and mindfulness teacher with over 13 years' experience helping people navigate emotional difficulties and make meaningful changes in their lives.
At Harbour Hypnotherapy, I offer a gentle, personalised approach to helping people with anxiety, stress, panic attacks, fears and phobias, low confidence and unwanted patterns of thinking or behaviour.
I work with clients in person in Chichester, West Sussex, and online throughout the UK and internationally.
How I work
My approach combines clinical hypnotherapy with mindfulness, drawing on a range of therapeutic techniques according to your individual needs.
I believe that change doesn't have to involve fighting against difficult feelings or trying to force ourselves to think positively. Often, the more we struggle with anxiety or unwanted emotions, the more stuck we become.
Instead, we work together to understand what's happening, reduce the struggle and develop more helpful responses.
Hypnotherapy can be particularly valuable when you know what you'd like to change but find that your automatic reactions, fears or habits continue to get in the way.
My approach is collaborative, compassionate and tailored to you. You remain aware and in control throughout hypnosis, and we work at a pace that feels comfortable.
What I can help with
I work with a broad range of difficulties, including:
- Anxiety, excessive worry and overthinking
- Stress, overwhelm and burnout
- Panic attacks and physical anxiety symptoms
- Fears and phobias, including fear of flying, needles and medical procedures
- Confidence, self-esteem and self-criticism
- Public speaking, interviews and performance anxiety
- Sleep difficulties and difficulty switching off
- Unwanted habits and behavioural patterns
- Emotional difficulties associated with challenging experiences
- ADHD-related anxiety, overwhelm and emotional regulation
- Support with chronic pain and stress-related symptoms alongside appropriate medical care
You don't need to know exactly what's wrong or have a particular diagnosis before getting in touch.
A little about me
Before becoming a hypnotherapist, I worked in academia. My own experience of overcoming a prolonged health challenge inspired me to explore the relationship between our minds, bodies and emotional wellbeing.
I have since devoted more than 13 years to supporting people through hypnotherapy and mindfulness.
I'm also the author of FREED: Five Steps to Let Go of Negative Feelings, which explores a compassionate, practical approach to working with difficult emotions.
Getting started
I offer a free initial telephone consultation, giving us an opportunity to discuss what you're experiencing, answer your questions and explore whether hypnotherapy might be helpful.
There is no obligation to book further sessions.
