About me
Hi, I’m Shuhan Dong, a psychologist and Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist.
I have over 10 years of academic and professional experience in psychology, from my undergraduate studies through to my PhD in Psychology at the University of Leeds. Throughout my learning, I’ve been particularly interested in how our thoughts, emotions, behaviours and life experiences shape the way we respond to life’s challenges.
My approach combines Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with hypnotherapy (Hypno-CBT). CBT helps us understand the patterns between our thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Hypnosis offers another way of working with attention, imagination and our responsiveness to suggestion. I’d like to think hypnosis is like added sugar in the coffee, making your experience in therapy mor engaging, more experiential, and yes, a little more fun. Together, we are making our therapy journey more powerful and tailored to your needs.
Training, qualifications & experience
Alongside Hypno-CBT, I also offer Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Integrative Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (iCBT), depending on your needs, preferences and goals.
I work with adults experiencing difficulties such as anxiety, stress, overthinking, confidence and self-esteem concerns, fears and specific phobias (driving, height, animal), performance-related difficulties. I also support people who simply feel stuck and want to make meaningful changes in their lives.
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.

Further information
I don’t judge, and I don’t believe therapy is about telling you what you “should” do or simply asking you to “think positively”. My sessions are collaborative, practical and tailored to you. Together, we’ll make sense of what’s happening, understand what may be keeping the pattern going, and explore approaches that fit your circumstances and goals.
Sessions are offered online (Zoom, MT, Facetime, Google meeting), each session lasting approximately 50–60 minutes. I offer a free initial assessment (60 up to 90 mins) to understand your needs and consider whether Hypno-CBT is appropriate for you.
Sessions are £60 each. I also offer a 12-session package for £600. You can choose to pay for each session in advance or pay for the full package upfront.

So…Welcome, You bring the story. We’ll work out the rest together. 🌿
