About me
I’m an experienced Integrative Hypnotherapist working online worldwide, and in person from Herne Bay, Kent. My work includes anxiety, ancestral patterns, habits, phobias, trauma, depression, relationships, eating disorders, and body image.
I also offer past life regression, parts therapy, and relaxation focused hypnotherapy.
I’m a great generalist but also have experience and additional training working with neurodivergent clients including ADHD, Autism, and Dyspraxia which means my sessions have adaptations and adjustments to meet specific neurodivergent needs (and like most neurodivergent adjustments these changes also benefit neurotypical people)
I’m trauma informed with additional training in mental health conditions and attachment. I also work with polyvagal theory.
I offer a tailored approach including one session treatments and ongoing self-development and processing work.
You can see the full list of my qualifications and training here:

Inclusivity, diversity, and safety is very important to me. I have additional training in mental health, safeguarding, GSRD, working with transgender and non-binary clients, and incorporating client spirituality.
I offer free consultations - you can choose between video call, telephone call, or text messaging (because not everyone feels comfortable talking)
I have my own therapy space in Herne Bay which is also available for hypnotherapists and counsellors to hire.
You can book directly from my website:
https://www.heidhypnotherapy.com/book
It's quick and easy and takes both Paypal and Card payments.
I can't usually answer my phone, as much of my time is spent in session with clients. But you can get hold of me by booking a free consultation or booking a call back here.
Or free free to send an email, text, or WhatsApp message.

Member organisations
The CNHC encompasses many types of alternative therapy, including hypnotherapy.
In order to be admitted to the register a practitioner must have studied to the National Occupational Standards for that profession/discipline, or have reached the equivalent of the National Occupational Standards through other relevant training or at least three years of experience and been assessed by their peers.
A practitioner must also have professional insurance and agree to abide by the CNHC Code of Conduct, Performance and Ethics.
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.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
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
- Body Image (health at all sizes)
- Neurodiversity (ADHD, Autism, AuDHD, Dyspraxia)
- Trauma
- Ancestor Healing
- Past Life Regression
- Relationships (including attachment, GSRD, LGBTQIA+, polyamory, non-monogamy)
