CBH (Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy)

What is CBH? 

Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (CBH) is a powerful, modern strategy that combines the tactical precision of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with the mental sharpness of clinical hypnotherapy to deliver lasting, transformative results.

CBT is like your mission briefing — a mental operations guide. It’s designed to help you identify negative thought patterns, emotional responses, and behaviors that are holding you back and replace them with more effective strategies. The key focus is on the here and now — the battlefield you’re facing today — not getting bogged down in past tactics. This means faster results, and less time spent analyzing what’s already behind you.

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) and the NHS have green-lighted CBT as a top recommendation for treating anxiety and depression. It’s also been shown to be effective for a wide range of conditions like panic attacks, phobias, sleep issues, stress, and habit changes.

Now, when you add hypnosis to the equation, you’re combining two heavy-hitting tactics to level up the game. Research backs up the fact that CBT combined with hypnosis is often more effective than CBT alone. What’s more? It’s also faster. You can expect treatment to take about 4-6 sessions, compared to the typical 5-20 sessions required for CBT on its own.

How It Works:

First, we’ll assess your current mindset, identify the old mental patterns that are keeping you stuck, and start adjusting your approach. Together, we’ll work on shifting your thinking, emotions, and behaviours so you’re more aligned with your goals and mission objectives.

You’ll learn to set clear goals, tackle home tasks that help drive progress, and keep a thoughts diary — a sort of mental intel log to track your thoughts and reactions. It’s all about refining your mental toolkit so you can operate at peak performance.

Where needed, we’ll integrate hypnosis and mindfulness with the CBT techniques to ensure you not only understand what's going on inside your mind but also have the mental armour to shift your thinking, feelings, and behaviours into higher gear.

Clinical Hypnosis: Your Tactical Advantage

Clinical hypnosis is like hitting the reset button on your mind. It's a deep state of relaxation that enhances your ability to focus and makes your mind more receptive to positive suggestions — the kind that lead to lasting change. Whether you're dealing with stress, bad habits, or emotional hurdles, hypnosis helps you reprogram those deep-seated patterns.

Imagine being able to relax, stay focused on your goals, and use positive imagery to progressively adjust those habitual feelings and behaviors. With each session, you move closer to the optimal version of yourself.

You’ll always remain aware during hypnosis. Think of it like being in a combat zone where you're fully alert and in control of your mission. If at any point you need to call it, you’re in charge and can stop the session — no sweat.
