Panic Attacks

I'm so glad I was recommended to Catherine, and I can't thank her enough. I'd never had hypnotherapy before but I'm so happy I did! I feel like 'Me' again, and I'd been struggling for nearly 3 years with anxiety and panic attacks. Catherine was so patient & helpful, and I learnt so much about how my brain works. I understand now that anxiety doesn't have to overwhelm me any more, I have a whole new way of thinking, and I'm looking forward to doing lots of things for the... Read more

Insomnia

Ever since I was a teenager I’ve struggled with sleeping, since seeing Catherine and now in my 30s, I’m having the best sleep ever. She’s also taught me to re-evaluate my thinking, focusing more on the positives than the negatives. I’m now also able to face situations head on that previously I would have done anything possible to avoid. I would highly recommend Catherine to anyone I thought needed her help. Such a calming influence!

Sports Performance

I’m a keen runner and have been seeing Catherine working towards running in the Manchester Marathon. The focussed sessions have had an immediate and positive impact on my training and mental resilience. It now feels like I have an extra gear and when the going gets tough I am able to keep calmly focused. My confidence and self belief are now high and unwavering. I am fully confident these sessions will result in me achieving a personal best on race day.

Mental Health

A friend first suggested Catherine to me and I will never forget that first call. We spoke for a little over the phone (due to Covid) and she went through how I felt, and I remember saying that I knew there were other people out there worse than I was and so if she needed to use her time to help others more in need I totally understood. The reply came back that she could help me and that was the first time I cried with her, somebody had listened... Read more

We spoke for a little over the phone (due to Covid) and she went through how I felt, and I remember saying that I knew there were other people out there worse than I was and so if she needed to use her time to help others more in need I totally understood. The reply came back that she could help me and that was the first time I cried with her, somebody had listened and acknowledged me and offered help. We had a number of weekly sessions I can't tell you when the change actually happened - but happen it did. I now look at life in a different light and feel I am living a life and enjoying it. I have finished my course but have agreed (at my request) that I will check in for back up sessions so to speak, taking time out of this mad world for myself and my mental health. I would not hesitate to recommend Catherine to anyone and everyone.

Wellbeing

I have no previous experience of hypnotherapy, and really did not know what to expect. Catherine explained everything to me very clearly, and was so warm and friendly she made me feel at ease straight away. The sessions were really beneficial, providing me with both delicious relaxation and an overall feeling of empowerment and well-being. If you are thinking of trying hypnotherapy, I can highly recommend Catherine. She is very caring and empathetic, and you will definitely benefit from the sessions in so many ways.

Low mood

I felt very down when I contacted Catherine. After a few sessions I was able to identify and deal with the issues that were depressing me. My morale has improved greatly, I now feel more positive and my sleep has improved. I have got my sparkle back. Thank you so much

Quit Smoking

I was a smoker for over 50 years before I saw Catherine. I had wanted to stop on many occasions but was not successful. I went to see Catherine and after only 1 session I am a Nonsmoker. I have not smoked for 6 months now, it's a great feeling. I did not believe at first it would succeed but here I am still going strong. I have no hesitation in recommending Catherine, I thank you so much for your help.

Mental Health

I have had CBT and counselling - both private and through the NHS, as well as prescription medicine. However, this is the best help I've received in years! Over weeks I feel much more energetic, brighter and happier. I couldn't recommend Catherine enough. It's also extremely relaxing which is an added bonus.

Peace Of Mind

I can highly recommend Catherine! My hypnotherapy sessions with Catherine have helped me deal with my trauma experiences, anxiety and stress. The sessions were uplifting and I especially enjoyed Catherine's positive conversation at the beginning of each session. I always left feeling hugely relaxed and peaceful about whatever situation we had focused on.

Burnout

A huge thank you to Catherine for helping me through the toughest time of my life. Without my sessions with you I would not be back to the person I know and love. Never before had I felt so hopeless and desperate. I just didn't know where to start to get myself through this. With your help, skills and guidance I have been able to reset and overcome.

Understanding the way the brain works has been enlightening. How our thoughts and actions can have both positive and negative effects on our brain and body now makes total sense. Your positive reinforcement techniques have given me back control of my life when I felt I had none. I will take what I have learnt from you with me for life. I can't thank you enough.

Anxiety

My hypnotherapy sessions with Catherine have been so beneficial, not only am I far more relaxed, my eczema has also calmed enormously. I can't praise Catherine enough for her professionalism, the work she does and the positive results I have gained from the sessions.

Weight Loss

When I contacted Catherine I was desperate. I wasn't sleeping, I was over eating and I needed to lose weight. Within a matter of weeks (and Christmas included) I had changed all of my unwanted habits and actually lost some weight! It was amazingly easy to change, you just need the key to unlock the door. Thanks again Catherine, you've really inspired me to complete my goals and wear that inner confidence on the outside.

Positive Change

I'd been stuck in a cycle of repetitive behaviour for over 40 years. I kept replaying a reaction to a specific stressor and was desperate to change it. Hypnotherapy with Catherine helped me to identify the underlying causes of this reaction and to deal with each stressor in a solution focused way. Now I feel calmer, more in control and content. It's like I've had a 'factory reset' and all the rubbish I've accumulated over the years has been thrown out!

A New Zest For Life

I was desperate and didn't know how to turn my life around when I contacted Catherine. I weighed the heaviest I've ever been and suffering from stress, depression and anxiety and all the issues that go with these. Catherine totally put me at ease and I really enjoyed our sessions, from which I always came away feeling relaxed, informed and positive. After ten sessions I've lost 17lb in weight (more to go) and now feel in control of my thoughts and actions. Instead of being lazy and not getting up,... Read more

After ten sessions I've lost 17lb in weight (more to go) and now feel in control of my thoughts and actions. Instead of being lazy and not getting up, no motivation for much at all, I'm now up early, out swimming or walking, eating sensibly and keeping on top of things. A new zest for life. I've even come off anxiety medication. If you're thinking about contacting Catherine, don't delay. Your life could improve too.

Phobia

I would 100% recommend Catherine. Four sessions have completely removed an anxiety that has significantly impacted my life for years. It's amazing! Thank you so much!

Game changer

A work colleague suggested Catherine for help with my anxiety and after my initial nervous contact I realised there was no need to worry, I was in 'safe hands'. Catherine explains everything so clearly and immediately puts you at ease. Even though I was going into this with literally no expectations the impact of the sessions was immediate and positive.

This has been a game changer for me. I feel so much less anxious about everything and the impact of the sessions is noticeable by everyone and in particular my fabulous family. I cannot recommend Catherine highly enough, don't continue thinking 'it's just who I am', it doesn't have to be, hypnotherapy with Catherine will change you and leave you feeling positive, happy, calm and relaxed.

Stop Smoking

I've just realised that today is six months since I quit smoking. Thank you for helping me. It's strange but I no longer think of myself as "a smoker" which is something I never thought could happen. No cravings, no vaping, no problem. Massively grateful.

Fear Of Flying

I can't believe I'm writing this, THE FLIGHTS WERE FINE! No panic, not even collywobbles before or during the flights! Even the heart monitor on my watch said so! Overall so much better than I could even have imagined. Thank you very much for all your help getting me there, now I'm looking forward to being able to travel where I want and going on holidays abroad once again!

Stress

I had been experiencing issues with stress and was recommended to try Hypnotherapy. After an initial consultation with Catherine I was instantly put at ease. As I continued with a few sessions I could feel a change in myself, a change that was also noticed by my colleagues and friends, which further validated my progress. Today I feel like I've reclaimed the person I used to be, free from the grip of stress. I can confidently recommend Catherine for helping me achieve this transformation.

Anxiety

Hypnotherapy sessions with Catherine have helped me to quite simply change my life. The initial consultation was great and gave me real hope for the first time in ages. Since our sessions I have experienced none of my previous symptoms. I now go out when I want and wherever I want with confidence, in fact I no longer think about it. This has meant so much to both my wife and myself. Thank you so much for everything.

Catherine Laing Hypnotherapy

I’m Catherine, an experienced, award winning Clinical Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist. As well as working from my peaceful clinic space, I also work online via Zoom with clients all around the UK – and this means that I can help you, no matter where you’re based.

Would you like to be free of stress and anxiety? To be able to cope better with life’s ups and downs? Would you like to sleep better and have more energy? To feel more positive and confident?

Change IS possible and I can help you.

We can all experience difficulties in life sometimes. We can struggle with stress, anxiety, panic attacks, sleep issues, our confidence, low mood and depression, phobias, or long term health conditions that can make our lives difficult. Very often also, we find ourselves reacting and thinking about things negatively which makes our problems feel worse, it can become a vicious circle. Hypnotherapy is a powerful, effective tool that can help people to interrupt this loop of anxiety and stress and guide them back to a place of balance, calm and control.  .

I practice Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, which is a positive, powerful combination of solution focused brief therapy and hypnosis, designed to reduce stress and anxiety and calm the mind. As the name suggests, the focus is on the solutions and improvements you want, without needing to analyse your past and dwell on problems. Hypnotherapy is also much more than just relaxation – it’s a tailored therapy personalised to each person’s unique needs and challenges. Each session is focused in a way that allows the client to envision desired changes, explore potential solutions and set achievable goals. During hypnosis I guide the client into a deep state of relaxation where the deeper, subconscious mind becomes more receptive to positive suggestion and can begin to form new neural pathways towards the client’s own best hopes and desired outcome.

Hand touching grass in warm sunlight, representing relaxation and a mindful connection to nature through hypnotherapy.Solution Focused Hypnotherapy uses practical, modern and well researched techniques that are very effective at helping people to change old, unhelpful patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving.  By harnessing the power of the mind, hypnotherapy can help you to tap into your own inner resources, paving the way for  transformation. Whatever you’re looking for help with, the focus of every hypnotherapy session is the positive improvements that can lead to meaningful results.

As a solution focused hypnotherapist my aim is to provide the very best of professional, tailored support for every single client, as well as making the treatment process positive and enjoyable. I have helped clients with many different conditions, some of which I have listed below. This list is not exhaustive, so if your condition is not listed, please get in touch, as I may still be able to help.
