Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (Hypno-CBT)

Hypno-CBT is an evidence-based, comprehensive approach that combines Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with hypnosis, offering a powerful and flexible tool for managing anxiety, pain perception, and emotional regulation. At the core of this method is the learning of self-hypnosis techniques, empowering individuals—whether children or adults—to use these skills independently, reduce worries, relax effectively, and gain greater control over their emotional and physical responses. Rather than relying solely on the therapist, clients are guided to apply these hypnotic skills on their own, creating lasting benefits that extend beyond the therapy session.

Decades of research have shown that hypnosis is a safe, effective, and rapid method for reducing anxiety and managing pain, with additional promising applications for conditions such as gastrointestinal issues. Studies also indicate that combining CBT and hypnosis offers greater benefits than either method alone, enhancing mental resilience, self-confidence, and effective emotional regulation.

In paediatric settings, Hypno-CBT helps children face medical procedures with less anxiety, while also supporting parents and medical teams. Integrating Hypno-CBT into therapy provides practical, transferable skills that individuals can use in their daily lives, improving mental well-being, self-confidence, and overall quality of life. It is a gentle, non-invasive, and highly flexible approach, suitable for anyone wishing to manage anxiety, cultivate emotional self-regulation, and build self-confidence through self-guided techniques that promote long-lasting, meaningful change.
