Emotional and physical well-being
Cognitive Behavioural hypnotherapy
Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (CBH) is an evidence-based therapeutic approach that combines the structured, problem-solving methods of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with the focused, receptive state of hypnosis. The goal of CBH is to help people understand how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours influence one another, and then use hypnosis to strengthen new, healthier ways to think, feel and behave.
In CBH, hypnosis is a natural, deeply relaxed state in which attention is heightened and the mind becomes more open to positive and helpful suggestions. Within this state, clients can more easily rehearse desired behaviours, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and build coping skills. This makes therapeutic techniques such as cognitive restructuring, imagery, and exposure more impactful.
Because it integrates the practical tools of CBT with the amplifying effects of hypnosis, CBH can be especially helpful for issues such as anxiety, stress, phobias, habit change, confidence building, and performance enhancement. The approach is collaborative, skills-focused, and designed to empower clients to take control of their own well-being.

Below are some, but not limited to, tailored sessions available.
Anxiety
Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy offers a practical and calming approach for managing many forms of anxiety, helping you understand the patterns that trigger worry and enables you to respond more confidently. Whether you experience general anxiety, social anxiety, panic attacks, health anxiety, or stress related to work, relationships, or specific situations, CBH blends cognitive techniques with therapeutic hypnosis to ease physical tension and shift unhelpful thinking. Through guided relaxation, thought-retraining, and personalised coping strategies, anxiousness is reduced and responses more grounded, capable, and in control.
Low mood
Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy offers a gentle, evidence-based approach for lifting low mood, improving self-worth, and easing symptoms of depression. By combining cognitive behavioural techniques with therapeutic hypnosis, clients learn to challenge unhelpful thought patterns, build healthier emotional responses, and reconnect with a sense of confidence and control. Sessions are designed to support you in developing practical coping skills while creating a calmer, more resilient mindset. This integrated approach can help you move forward with clarity, motivation, and renewed self-esteem.
Habit reversal
Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy can be highly effective for habit reversal by helping you understand the triggers, thoughts, and feelings that drive unwanted behaviours. Whether you’re looking to stop nail-biting, hair-pulling, skin-picking, teeth grinding, or other repetitive habits, CBH combines cognitive techniques with focused hypnotic work to support lasting change. Through increased awareness, replacement behaviours, and calming strategies, clients learn to break automatic patterns and develop healthier, more empowering responses, making it easier to regain control and maintain positive new habits.
Weight Control
Weight loss using hypno gastric band therapy is an innovative approach that combines the principles of hypnotherapy with the techniques of gastric band surgery. This method allows individuals to create a psychological 'band' around their stomach, helping them to feel fuller with smaller portions.
Stop Smoking
Smoking cessation through hypnotherapy offers a unique approach to help individuals quit smoking by addressing the subconscious mind. By utilising guided relaxation techniques and positive suggestion, hypnotherapy aims to alter the smoker's thought patterns and behaviours associated with nicotine dependence.
Phobias
Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy is highly effective in treating a wide range of phobias by helping you understand and gently reframe the thoughts, feelings, and habits that keep fear in place. Whether you struggle with common phobias such as flying, spiders, heights, needles, or public speaking—or more specific fears like driving, crowded spaces, or medical procedures—CBH uses structured cognitive techniques and calming hypnotic work to reduce anxiety and build confidence. Through gradual exposure, guided imagery, and practical coping strategies, clients learn to respond with greater ease and control, allowing everyday situations to feel safer and more manageable.
Working with. young people
Working with children and adolescents through hypnotherapy is a gentle, playful process rooted in curiosity and discovery. Sessions are designed to feel natural and engaging—often weaving in imagination, stories, or creative activities—so young people can explore their inner world in a way that feels safe and enjoyable. Each approach is uniquely tailored to the child’s or teen’s stage of maturity, allowing the therapy to meet them exactly where they are and support their growth with sensitivity, flexibility, and respect.

Client Testimonials CBH
Pauline came into our lives at a time when my youngest son was contemplating leaving education, due to his anxiety, which was stopping him from presenting in front of groups. She has truly been nothing short of amazing. Above all, Pauline clearly possesses a passion for helping others. She has always been incredibly professional-maintaining confidentiality at all times. She has proved to be incredibly kind, trustworthy and literally devoted to her work with our son. She has excellent communication skills with both people of my age and those of my son (19 years.) We cannot thank her enough for the help she has provided to our child when things were tough, and wholeheartedly recommend her to any family who may benefit from her work. Julie, Prangins

Pauline encourages me to talk about challenging times for me-those that make me struggle or have an impact on my daily life. She helped me get to the root of the problem whilst listening in an empathetic way. I felt a huge amount of trust and we formed a really good connection-one that made me want to return. Pauline supported me, questioned me and never judged. She understands me and can see things from my perspective. I feel that Pauline can sense how I am feeling and she makes me feel comfortable enough to have an honest conversation. Pauline sets me goals, which are achievable and ultimately, due to her help, I am more confident, less anxious, and can now present in front of groups of people. I always feel relaxed after listening to her voice, and I enjoy being in her relaxed environment. TM. Prangins

Pauline has been an absolute angel. I was given her details after reaching out to a friend when I was in a very dark space. Pauline was amazing. Despite being on holiday when I contacted her, she made time to understand my needs. From the very first meeting she worked her magic and started to help me get out of the dark place I was in. Now, just after 8 sessions, I feel so much more positive and can feel I am already a much happier person. I would recommend Pauline wholeheartedly. She really has turned my life around. HW.

My experience with Pauline has been excellent. She creates a safe, professional environment where it feels easy to explore difficult thoughts. Her combination of CBT strategies and hypnotherapy really helped me with some overwhelming anxiety that was affecting my life and relationships in a negative way. I’ve noticed real and lasting changes, and I would highly recommend Pauline to anyone considering this approach. Debbie
______________________________________________________I have struggled with my anxiety for most of my adult life. At times, I felt like it controlled my every moment. When I booked my hypnotherapy session, I felt like even if it helped a small amount, I’d still be in a better position. I had the expected anxiety of a new situation, along with worrying about what would happen in my session. The only hypnosis I’d seen was on Saturday night TV as a child. Pauline quickly put my mind at ease and explained the process in detail. I can honestly say that even after my first session, I felt more positive that hypnotherapy could help me. Now, I feel like my life has changed for the better. As well as dealing with things I knew were a problem I discovered new coping mechanisms and I have achieved various goals I set for myself within the sessions. One goal in particular was visiting the dentist for the first time in many, many years, something my anxiety kept me from doing. Previously, I’d have rather suffered the pain or even attempted home dentistry. The best part is I feel like my life is back in my own control. Anxiety no longer rules me! Friends and family have recognised how beneficial the sessions have been for me, and I can’t recommend them enough. R. Liddle. Edinburgh
