Morag Stevenson

Hi,

Welcome, and thanks for taking the time to read through this.

Who am !?

I’m Morag Stevenson, and I practice cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy, which is a practical, short-term therapy that combines CBT with hypnosis. 

I come from a senior management corporate background and can draw not only on my therapeutic tools, techniques, and intuition, but also on my professional and personal life experiences.

I retrained as a hypnotherapist in 2019 and set up my practice in 2020, and haven’t looked back since. I thoroughly enjoy working with my clients, and I take it as a real privilege to help you back to feeling and being better.

What is Hypno-CBT ® 

Hypno-CBT ® gives you effective strategies to reduce, manage, or stop stress, anxiety, self-doubt, procrastination, overwhelm, imposter syndrome, fear, phobias, and compulsive nervous habits. This is not an exhaustive list!

With all of the above challenges, they have one central core: certain thoughts, feelings, or actions are keeping you stuck.  You feel helpless, hopeless and quite lost.

When you unravel what is happening, over the course of a few therapy sessions, you can quite quickly turn around any limiting scenarios you have created and feel that you are back on track.

A deeply relaxed hypnotic mindset lets you swap unhelpful thoughts, feelings, and behaviours for more self-loving ones that revitalise and breathe confidence and hope into you. This will then ‘naturally’, ‘automatically’ lead to more self-assured behaviour in your ‘real’ waking life. The positive upward spiral can begin!

You discover and use a practical toolbox of skills whenever you need them. Most of these tools are easy to put in place and slot into your daily life if you make a bit of room and time for them.

You now have the path to greater control, calm, and confidence in the face of life’s ups and downs.

How do I work?

During our therapy, we work together as a team; you already know yourself really well, I add the opportunity for you to take a step back and reflect in a safe, non-judgemental space. Having the time and space with someone who listens actively is often a precious moment in itself.

In our sessions, I draw upon cognitive behavioural therapy, hypnotherapy, relaxation and mindfulness. 

I also offer astrological counselling, which helps you understand and place your current challenges within the greater context of your natal birth chart. 

My particular area of expertise and specialisation is with clients who suffer from compulsive hair-pulling (trichotillomania) or skin picking. 

Online and Face to Face individual sessions

I work online giving you the freedom to have treatment from wherever you’re based. I split my time between the UK and France. When I'm in the UK, I also offer in-person sessions in Teddington.

If you are ready to take the next step or have any questions, please send me an email or give me a call on 07862 822063.

Testimonial

Smoking Cessation 

I found the combination of Morag's practical business approach and her emotional/spiritual empathy very reassuring.  I felt she understood my addiction, but gently and firmly guided me into a conviction that quitting was the best thing to do.   The preliminary session in which Morag understands the particular nature of your addiction meant that she could tailor the hypnotherapy and the CBT for an individually-focused approach.   The follow-up session was also very helpful and she checked up on me a month on so it really felt that she was invested in helping me change for good.

Quitting smoking with Morag has been an enormous relief and liberation from being controlled by my habit.   I have so much more time and no more worries about my health.   I can honestly say that I haven't had to fight - it feels like something in my subconscious was altered.

FND 

The whole process was so reassuring. Morag had previous experience with clients with FND and was already competent at dealing with it. She intuitively knew what to say and had an in-depth idea of what my particular struggles were and how to assist in my recovery. She recorded our sessions and supplied me with those and other recordings, which helped enormously. She is friendly, easy to talk to, non-judgmental, and has a warm, humorous outlook, which I took to right away. She helped with my movement disorder and migraines, and my condition improved tenfold. I will forever be grateful.“

"Morag has a calm perceptive presence which is reassuring and what you need in times of crisis or periods of unease. She is extremely perceptive making it easier for you to understand and find solutions for particular issues"

Low mood anxiety

"The sessions via video were a strong point as I felt at ease in a chosen, comfortable, familiar, space. She is gentle, professional, and an extremely good listener; I felt in very safe hands. Hypnosis is wrongly advertised as a loss of control at the hands of the practitioner when it’s quite the opposite. The tools, the keys, or the options are within ourselves and Morag is the perfect person to help us find and apply them. I can highly recommend her as a therapist."

Hairpulling Trichotillomania

Morag will show you the way if you are prepared to put the work in. I found her to have a rare understanding of the mindset of someone with Trich and thank her for creating the programme, it really is life changing.

Pain

I suffer from chronic back pain. Throughout a challenging year full of various medical appointments, examinations and tests with different practitioners – she’s been the only one who has guided me and enabled me to find the tools of self-control and pain management within me. The sessions via video were a strong point as I felt at ease in a chosen, comfortable, familiar, space. She is gentle, professional, and an extremely good listener; I felt in very safe hands. Hypnosis is wrongly advertised as a loss of control at the hands of the practitioner when it’s quite the opposite. The tools, the keys, or the options are within ourselves and Morag is the perfect person to help us find and apply them. I can highly recommend her as a therapist .

I work in particular with people suffering from chronic hairpulling (trichotillomania/trichophagia) or skin picking (Dermotillomania).

I have also gained particular expereince with people suffering from FND (Functional Neurological Disorder)

Hypnotherapy 'works' whether it is online or in person. The most important is your connection to the therapist and your belief that you can get better.

You can see my working hours above. However I can sometimes adapt these according to your needs and timetable. There is flexibility!
