About me
Helping you take back control of your life in a safe environment where you will feel heard and understood.
I can help you feel, calm and in control in all situations. Understand why you behave and respond the way you do. Confident and comfortable in your own skin.
Cognitive Hypnotherapy is a flexible approach to therapy, tailoring each session to you, honouring your uniqueness, using a range of evidence-based techniques. No one has experienced life the way you have after all, so your sessions will reflect that.
Cognitive Hypnotherapy, NLP, Positive Psychology, Parts, EFT, EMI, Transactional Analysis and Gestalt are some of the modalities I have in my toolbox to be able to tailor to you.
I can help you with a range of things, from anxiety to confidence, fears, phobias and unwanted behaviours. Overwhelm, self-esteem and stress. Transitional times in life, taming the critical inner voice and motivation.
Or it might be that you can't find the right word, that you just feel lost or disconnected. I'll help you move towards the version of you, you really want to be.
I offer a free initial phone consultation, a chance to get to know each other a little, ask any questions you may have and see if cognitive hypnotherapy is right for you. It's really important you like and trust the person sitting in front of you, so take your time to find the right therapist for you.

"..I am so happy I took the plunge and went to see Kate - the results are life-changing." A, 54, Bentley.
"I was recommended Kate by a good friend of mine having a few failed sessions with other therapists. I am so glad I saw Kate, she has given me the tools to enable me to have a more positive outlook after what has been a difficult couple of years. Kate makes you feel relaxed and helps you make sense of your anxieties and emotions. The use of her varying techniques including hypnosis has enabled me to have inner strength and belief that I can navigate through any difficulties. I can't recommend her highly enough!" H, 51, Ipswich
