Hypno-CBT is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy combined with clinical hypnosis. CBT is one of the most widely recognised psychological therapies, used extensively within the NHS for anxiety, depression and a range of other difficulties.
Hypnosis has been used therapeutically for well over two hundred years, but along the way it's also picked up a bad reputation. What most of us have seen comes from stage shows and television, where it's presented as mind control. That's entertainment, not therapy.
In practice, it feels far less dramatic than people expect. You stay awake, aware and in charge. You can talk to me, move, open your eyes, or stop whenever you want. Nothing happens that you haven't agreed to.
Clinical hypnosis is simply a state of focused attention — something you already experience in ordinary life. You might recognise it from becoming absorbed in a film, or from driving a familiar route and realising you've arrived without quite remembering the journey. Your attention narrows, and everything else recedes. In therapy, we use that natural ability deliberately.
Hypnosis and CBT work well together. CBT helps us understand how your thoughts, feelings, physical responses and behaviour connect, and which of those patterns are keeping the problem in place. Hypnosis then lets us strengthen those changes in a calm, focused state — rehearsing new responses rather than arguing with the old ones.
The most important thing to understand is this. I don't have any special powers. The change comes from you. My role is to guide the process, ask the right questions, and give you practical techniques you can use between our sessions.
What does help is coming to it with an open mind. You don't need any previous experience of hypnosis, and you certainly don't need to be able to empty your mind. Being willing to engage with it is enough.
I'm a Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist based in London, offering sessions online to clients across the UK and around the world. I trained with the UK College of Hypnosis & Hypnotherapy and continue to develop my knowledge through ongoing professional training and continuing professional development.
From the beginning of my training, I have been committed to an evidence based approach to therapy. There are many different approaches to hypnotherapy, but I chose Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy because it combines the proven principles of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with clinical hypnosis. Rather than relying on techniques that lack scientific support, I use research informed methods tailored to each individual, helping clients create meaningful, lasting change.
Before becoming a therapist, I worked across a variety of industries including music, entertainment, tourism and the third sector. Although my career has been varied, one thing has always remained the same: a genuine interest in people. Working with individuals from many different backgrounds taught me the importance of listening without judgement, building trust and understanding that every person's experience is unique.
My interest in hypnotherapy began after experiencing it for myself. Like many people, I initially had misconceptions about hypnosis and assumed it was similar to stage hypnosis. However, after researching the evidence and experiencing clinical hypnosis firsthand, I realised it was something entirely different. That experience sparked a fascination with the psychology of lasting change and inspired me to retrain as a therapist.
Today, I help people with anxiety, stress, confidence, sleep difficulties, fears, unwanted habits and performance related challenges. I believe therapy should be warm, collaborative and practical. My aim is to provide a safe, supportive and non judgemental environment where you feel listened to, understood and equipped with practical tools to create lasting change.
Alongside my private practice, I also volunteer with LGBT Switchboard, supporting members of the LGBTQ+ community.
Whether you're facing a specific challenge or simply want to feel more like yourself again, I'm here to help you take the next step towards living the life you want.

How many sessions will I need?
Hypno-CBT is focused and goal-based: we agree at the start what you want to change and work towards it. Most people need fewer sessions than with traditional talking therapy, often around four to eight. It is not a quick fix, but the aim is to give you tools you can keep using, so you finish equipped rather than dependent on therapy.
