Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy

Your Potential for Positive Change with CBH               

What is Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (CBH)?

Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy integrates the powerful techniques of Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness with the transformative power of Clinical Hypnotherapy. This evidence-based approach helps you achieve your specific goals for positive personal change and move forward with your life.

Key Components of CBH:

  • Cognitive: Your thoughts, emotions, beliefs, interpretations, and mental imagery about yourself and situations.
  • Behavioural: How you respond, act, and behave in different situations.
  • Hypnotherapy: Using hypnosis as a therapeutic tool to access the subconscious mind and facilitate change.

CBH is a goal-oriented process that requires your own motivation and willingness to participate actively in the sessions.

 

Stress and Anxiety

Stress and anxiety are common experiences, but they don't have to control your life. CBH can help you manage both the mindbody symptoms of:

  • Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
  • Panic Attacks
  • Phobias (e.g., Agoraphobia, Social Phobia, Specific Phobias)

 

Boosting Confidence and Self-Belief - Confidence is like a muscle – the more you use it, the stronger it becomes

 CBH can help you overcome confidence issues in various areas, such as:

  • Job Interviews
  • Exams and Presentations
  • Social Situations

Chronic pain can significantly impact quality of life. Hypnotherapy has been used for centuries to treat various types of pain. CBH can help:

  • Reduce average pain intensity

Beyond the areas mentioned, CBH can also address a wide range of emotional, behavioural, and habitual challenges, such as:

  • Becoming a Non-Smoker
