What is Cognitive hypnotherapy?

Let me assure you...

You are in complete control. I cannot make you do anything you don’t want to.  This is a safe and gentle approach that prioritises your needs, aiming for meaningful and enduring transformations in your life. It involves entering a light trance state, akin to everyday experiences like daydreaming or zoning out while driving.

Cognitive Hypnotherapy is highly adaptable, tailored to each individual client. It draws upon a diverse range of therapeutic methods, such as NLP, CBT, Psychotherapy, Gestalt, Positive Psychology, Traditional Hypnotherapy, and Transactional Analysis, among others. We don’t adhere to fixed labels or generic scripts; rather, I address you as the unique individual you are.

Kind Words

"Jen is incredible and potentially a witch. After a few sessions with Jen and listening to the recording she made me, I was could see marked changes in my attitudes and behaviours. Our sessions were in-depth and professional, I left each session feeling lighter and more energised, even when the subject matter was heavy. I especially enjoyed the guided meditation / hypnosis which unlocked some deep-seated beliefs that I wasn't expecting to find. Would highly recommend"
"It only took a few sessions with Jen to help me achieve my goal of securing the job I wanted and getting the pay rise I need to obtain the life I dream of. I had been suffering with anxiety in situations I attached a great deal of importance to, struggling with confidence and the ability to deliver my true authentic myself. I was tripping over my words with my head running faster than my mouth, feeling stupid and ashamed. Through a combination of Jen’s coaching, and listening to her soothing hypnotherapy recording both first thing in the morning and last thing at night, I was able to overcome my anxiety and present in a calm, relaxed and confident manner to just be my true authentic self!"
"I have struggled with anxiety since I was a child and as I have got older it has manifested itself in lots of different ways. This is my first time trying hypnotherapy and after a few sessions with Jen I can already see progress. Jen has taught me many strategies and methods to deal with my anxiety, and I have been able to use them easily in every day life. I now feel less anxious and more positive that I can manage my anxiety effectively and one day live anxiety free. Jen is also very friendly and easy to talk to which has put me at ease and made it comfortable for me to open up."

Evidence Based Therapy

Quest Cognitive Hypnotherapy (QCH) launched a unique research project in 2011. Using a team of QCH therapists, clients with anxiety and depression were assessed using the same outcome measures currently used to assess the effectiveness of talking therapies within the NHS. The pilot study was published in the Mental Health Review Journal in 2015. It recorded that, using 118 cases measuring the effectiveness of Cognitive Hypnotherapy for the treatment of depression and anxiety, 71% considered themselves recovered after an average of 4 sessions. This compared to an average of 42% for other approaches using the same measures (like CBT). To our knowledge, this is the only hypnotherapy approach to have been validated in this way.
