CBH
Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy
What is cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy (CBH)?
CBH is a form of therapy that incorporates cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), hypnotherapy, and mindfulness. CBT focuses on bringing awareness and understanding of how our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours interact and influence one another.
Hypnotherapy can then be used to better implement useful, healthier thoughts to replace the unhealthy ones through visualisation and rehearsal. This is usually achieved through psycho-education, and by teaching clients how to achieve a heightened state of concentration and suggestibility, usually through relaxation. Clients can further develop this skill through practice outside of sessions.
Finally, mindfulness teaches clients how to better digest their thoughts and feelings. For example, learning to notice a thought, feeling, or sensation, acknowledge it, and let it go. This is particularly useful for clients who find themselves becoming overwhelmed or avoidant.
How does cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy (CBH) work?
When experiencing unwanted sensations such as anxiety, stress, anger, phobias, and compulsive habits, there is usually a sequence of events happening that we may not be conscious of.
For example, the thought, “I’m awkward in social settings” can lead to feelings of fear and negative emotions (anxiety). As a result, you may behave in a way that leads to uncomfortable interactions, you may choose to leave early, or avoid social events entirely.
Using this information we can break the cycle, implement coping techniques, or replace negative thoughts with positive ones. By identifying triggers and the typical sequence that follows, these can be reframed in a way that is helpful for you.
Think of CBH as you would think of working with a personal trainer but with a focus on your mind.
A personal trainer supports you and tailors a regime to your requirements and goals, but it’s you who sets the goals and does the heavy lifting. This means that the more you put in, the faster and better the results, and the same applies to CBH. Consistency and willingness are key.

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF THERAPY IS FOR YOU?
Would you like to take control of your life?
We’re all capable of leading happier lives. But, we self-sabotage our own happiness, often without realising we are doing it.
When’s the last time you did something that *really* made you happy?
Our beliefs of what will bring us happiness (e.g. consuming, money, s*x, things, substances, partying) tend to be defined by societal influence and expectations. This can cause us to overlook and neglect the things that truly make us happy. Repeating the same behaviours, hoping for different results? We know how this goes…
I’M STUCK, SEND HELP.
Think of therapy as a personal investment, ‘upgrading’ yourself.
Change is hard, so I focus on working with you to figure out what drives you and how you can make improvements in a way that is manageable, and realistic to your life. Sounds pretty simple? It is. The hard part is seeing ourselves objectively, keeping up momentum, holding ourselves accountable, and looking beyond the surface of our behaviours. And that’s where I come in.
What can you expect to gain from CBH?
CBH will equip you with a greater level of self-awareness, control over your life, and the tools you require to sustain this independently. Working together to empower you to realise how to lead and enjoy the life you want.
How many sessions do I need?
During your first session (assessment) we will discuss this. The amount of sessions needed varies from person to person and depends on what you would like to achieve. 6 sessions are recommended as a minimum for results, 8-12 for results and lasting change. However, clients have achieved their goals in as little as 4 sessions.
For efficacy, weekly sessions are advised to start. This can be adjusted to fortnightly to allow for time to utilise the assignments. Once your goal(s) are achieved, we can work together to devise a maintenance plan.
Why are we so good at helping others, but ineffective when it comes to ourselves?
It’s just easier. So, let me help you help yourself.
