About me
Master Your Mind | Rewire Your Brain – with Elizabeth Holt.
HPD•DSFH•MNCH (Reg.)•CNHC Reg.•MAC•ANLP
You may look like you are coping, and in many areas you are. But inside, you feel stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, and sometimes panicked, unable to switch off. I help people in Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire, and across the UK online, to move from a constant feeling of alert to mastering their minds and developing a deep sense of quiet confidence and self-trust.
The hidden cost of functioning. You may be the person others see as capable, dependable, and the one who holds it all together. You may even think, “I should be happy,” and generally you are, but not as happy as you could be.
Functioning can mask what it is costing you. Over time, the strain can start to affect your confidence, sleep, relationships, work, and sense of self. It may show up as people-pleasing, procrastination, panic attacks, phobias, driving anxiety, or difficulty speaking up. You might find yourself using coping patterns like emotional overeating, smoking/vaping, drinking more than you would like, or staying constantly busy just to numb or relieve the pressure.
A warm, experienced approach informed by Neuroscience. I blend Solution-focused Hypnotherapy and Coaching, informed by Applied Neuroscience, to help you understand the patterns keeping this cycle going. As a qualified NLP Trainer with over 25 years of experience across corporate and private practice, I understand the mechanics of how the brain creates change. I use this mastery to help you calm your nervous system and begin responding differently.
❝ As a practising psychotherapist, I needed help with anxiety... Elizabeth gave me the tools I needed... I could not recommend her highly enough. She is a lovely human being and a consummate professional. ❞ - Joanne
Real change, step by step. My approach is not about endlessly analysing everything or digging up the past. It is about helping you focus on what you do want, while giving your brain the opportunity to learn safety and self-trust through new experiences. Over time, situations that once felt difficult become easier, and confidence grows naturally. You trust yourself as you feel calmer and happier.
My sessions are warm, thoughtful, grounded, and professional. Clients often tell me they feel heard, deeply understood, and "lighter" after we work together. You do not need to arrive feeling ready or confident. You only need the willingness to begin, and I will guide you step by step.
Your Complimentary Initial Consultation Invite.
If you would like to stop overthinking, reduce stress and anxiety, and build confidence and self-trust, you are warmly invited to book a complimentary initial consultation.
During our call, we will explore what is happening now and what you would like to be different. I will explain how I work, how it helps, and if I am the right fit for you, I will outline the next steps clearly.
I look forward to speaking with you soon to see how I can help you.

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.
The National Council for Hypnotherapy holds one of the largest registers of independent Hypnotherapists in the United Kingdom and strives to maintain the highest standards among its members. There is an agreed Code of Conduct, an established Complaints & Disciplinary Procedure and all members are obliged to maintain comprehensive Public Liability & Professional Indemnity Insurance, maintain regular CPD (continuing professional development) hours, and attend Supervision when needed.
The Association for Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (AfSFH) was set up to provide information about a modern form of Hypnotherapy and its associated benefits to members of the public. The main aim of the AfSFH is to spread awareness of the benefits of Solution Focused Hypnotherapy. Its secondary aim is to support Hypnotherapists in their businesses by encouraging good practice and self-care.

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).

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.

Testimonials:
After working with Elizabeth, I feel like a brand new person! I am confident in myself and the decisions I make. I have not felt this calm and collected in over a year.
Elizabeth is so authentically positive and bubbly. The sessions always felt very relaxed, and the atmosphere was very supportive, so I felt like I could discuss anything that was on my mind.
I feel like Elizabeth is my fairy godmother! I truly believe I could not have made the incredible progress I have made without her guidance and knowledge.
-Megan
_______________________________________________________________________
Before working with Elizabeth, I was anxious to complete day-to-day tasks, and that led to feelings of depression.
I now feel able to cope with anxiety and triggers that can cause this, and have ways to alleviate this. It’s allowed me to enjoy my current role and master my mind for now and years to come.
What stood out is that I never felt judged and appreciated having the freedom and calming space to express how I felt.
She guides you to find the answers you already know and backs them up with informed research, which helps you gain confidence in your abilities and really understand your own brain. Rather than someone telling you what the problem is.
I recommend working with Elizabeth because she has allowed me to gain proper insight into myself, ways to overcome hurdles, and how to manage them in the future.
-Anon
______________________________________________________________
I was struggling with Panic Attacks and Anxiety. Then I started to work with Elizabeth, and I was able to open up and not be discarded.
She listens and understands that everyone is different and that it is not a tick-box exercise.
Anyone feeling like I was before I met Elizabeth needs to know that there is light at the end of the tunnel, and Elizabeth will help you get there. I absolutely recommend working with her. She is down on my phone as 'The Genius'.
-Darren.
_______________________________________________________________
I very much enjoyed my sessions with Elizabeth. I found her to be very supportive, helpful, empathetic, knowledgeable and very eager to share this knowledge from both her own experience and also her professional training.
I am a practising psychotherapist, and I needed some help with anxiety around giving presentations at work. From my knowledge of childhood trauma, I am very aware of the 'Why' of this anxiety.
What I found interesting and helpful from working with Elizabeth was that she gave me the tools I needed to get to the 'What to do' aspect of my recovery journey.
Constantly focused and engaged with what I had to share, Elizabeth created a safe and, at times, fun environment for me to explore further with her and ultimately helped ease this anxiety.
I could not recommend her highly enough. She is a lovely human being and a consummate professional.
Thanks again, Elizabeth, for your sincerity and generosity of spirit.
-Joanne
--------------------------------------------------------------
Before working with Elizabeth, I felt slightly depressed and in a rut. The thing I love most about Elizabeth is her ability to put me at ease and open my eyes to new ways of seeing the world while validating my point of view. I enjoyed the ease of our conversations and felt much lighter after our sessions. She has a wicked sense of humour. I always leave our sessions with a sense of achievement and am more able to enjoy life. - Ruth
_____________________________________________________________
I saw Elizabeth for six sessions to help me untangle my overwhelmed mind and get back on track again to a more productive and positive path. She really helped me and I actually really enjoyed our sessions.
Elizabeth is super professional and qualified both from education and life experience which of course is very important. However, she is also a very empathetic, warm, kind and friendly human being which all together makes her an excellent coach! Wholeheartedly happy to recommend and I will definitely use her services again. -Marit

"Elizabeth helped me so much! I cannot recommend her enough!
I had a phobia of cats and within three sessions Elizabeth explained to me how the brain works and we worked together to overcome this fear.
I was so scared of cats I couldn't even look at a picture and even the thought of a cat would make me feel uneasy. To go from being that petrified to now feeling so calm and not phased by them is all with the help and tools Elizabeth gave me. She helped me understand my behaviour and gave me so many useful techniques to use and apply to other situations.
I am so grateful that I found Elizabeth and she has made a huge positive impact on my life". - Simi.

"My sessions with Elizabeth have been absolutely fantastic. I was nervous to speak to someone initially but Elizabeth's friendly, warm, and funny nature puts you at ease straightaway. Hypnotherapy has made me feel calmer than I have in a long time. It has been an eye-opening experience for me and I am still in awe of how fast it works. I can't recommend Elizabeth enough, she's brilliant!" - Aysha

"I have always looked after my physical self through training, going to the gym having regular massages, and now I prioritise having regular sessions with Elizabeth as part of my self-care, it is like a massage for my brain". - David.

"I recently had a course of Sessions with Elizabeth, as she had been recommended to me, and I must say, Elizabeth is wonderful, professional, knowledgeable, and just like your best friend. Like Home! from that first 5 minutes of being in her company (via Zoom).
"I was sceptical about Hypnotherapy at first, but it has worked wonders in so many ways & I continue to listen to the Hypnotherapy recording Elizabeth gave me.
I can't rate Elizabeth enough, her knowledge and the overall support that she gives, she has been amazing. Elizabeth has helped me tremendously. Without her and both of our hard work together, I wouldn’t be as strong as I am 8 weeks plus from our first session. I feel like I can conquer the World now! Eternally grateful". - Michelle.
______________________________________________________________
"I have been having sessions with Elizabeth for a few months now and I can honestly say she has completely changed my life! I went to her with an original problem but not only have we managed to tackle it head-on but a lot of other issues have been resolved too.
Elizabeth’s “forward not backward” approach is absolutely perfect for me and has helped me in so many aspects of my life…I have quick tools to use in certain situations which have become my complete go-to when I’m feeling out of control.
I would highly recommend working with Elizabeth for any issue you may have. She is amazingly positive and has certainly helped me change my life for the better in many, many ways." —Sarah.
