CBT & Clinical Hypnotherapy | Hungerford and Online 

For anxiety, stress, phobias, sleep, and patterns that haven't shifted on their own.

You already know something needs to change. That clarity, the one that brought you here is where the work begins.

​​​​​​

You understand why you do it. So why haven't you stopped?

​

Most problems people bring to therapy are not the real problem. The habit, the anxiety, the overthinking, the reaction you regret: each one is usually protecting something older. I help you find what that is, and change it at the root.

​

​

​

People come to me when something has been going on long enough that hoping it will pass no longer feels like a plan.

​

Anxiety and panic that interrupts daily life, not just difficult moments.

​

Chronic stress that has become your default state.

​

Phobias and fears quietly narrowing what feels possible.

​

Sleep that no longer restores you.

​

Patterns around food or alcohol you are ready to leave behind.

​

Confidence that has been eroded gradually, and then noticeably.​

​​​

How the work actually works​​

​

I combine Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Clinical Hypnotherapy into a model built specifically around you.

​

CBT works with the thought patterns and behaviours that maintain the problem. Hypnotherapy reaches the deeper, automatic processes that keep old patterns running even when you consciously want to change.

Together, they create change that holds.

​​​​

Who I help

​

You hold it together for everyone else, and nobody sees what it costs you.

​

You know your worry is out of proportion, and knowing makes no difference.

​

There is a habit you have tried to stop for years: pulling, picking, biting, checking.

​

You go quiet when you disagree, then it comes out sideways, or all at once.

​

You need to feel in control, because not knowing has never felt safe.

​

Underneath the achievement there is a voice that says it is never quite enough.​​​

​

None of this means something is wrong with you. These patterns made sense once. They were the best way your younger self found to stay safe, and your nervous system has kept running them long after the danger passed.

​

That is why willpower rarely fixes them. You cannot argue with a pattern that was never built on logic in the first place.

​

Common reasons people come to me: anxiety and overthinking, health anxiety, OCD, phobias including driving, stress and sleep, low confidence and self-worth, habits such as hair pulling and nail biting, and patterns in relationships that keep repeating.

​

How I work

 

Insight is the start. Change is the point.

​

Many people I see have already had therapy, read the books, and can explain their problem better than most professionals. What they have not had is a way to change it. My work combines three things, used in the order you are ready for them.​

​

See the pattern clearly. Using CBT, we map what happens: the trigger, the thought, the feeling, what you do next. You leave the first sessions with a clear picture and practical tools you can use straight away.

Find what is driving it. Clinical hypnotherapy and parts work let us reach the part of you that learned this pattern, often long ago. Here the work moves from understanding to feeling, which is where lasting change happens.

​

Make it stick. We bring the change back into daily life, at work, at home and in your relationships, and test it in the situations that used to catch you out.

​

Measuring progress: I use recognised questionnaires at the start and as we go, so you can see the change in numbers as well as feel it.​

​

What you take away

​

A different relationship with yourself, one that actually works.

​

A clear understanding of what has been driving the pattern, and why.

​

Practical tools you can use the same day.

​

The capacity to handle future difficulty on your own terms.

​

Renewed energy, motivation, and trust in your own judgement.
