Core benefits of Hypnotherapy 

Break free from anxiety and fear

Anxiety can feel overwhelming, affecting your thoughts, sleep and daily life. Hypnotherapy works by helping you change the patterns driving anxiety at a subconscious level.

Overcome phobias with hypnotherapy

Whether it’s fear of flying, public speaking, or something more specific, hypnotherapy for phobias can help reduce intense fear responses and build confidence.

Build confidence and feel more in control

Low confidence and stress often go hand in hand with anxiety. Through hypnotherapy, you can develop a calmer mindset and stronger self-belief.

How hypnotherapy works

Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to access the subconscious mind, where habits, fears and emotional responses are formed.

By working at this deeper level, it’s possible to:

  • reduce anxiety and overthinking

  • change unhelpful thought patterns

  • feel calmer in triggering situations

  • build lasting confidence

Sessions are gentle, collaborative and tailored to your needs.

What I can help with

  • Anxiety and overthinking

  • Phobias (including fear of flying and specific fears)

  • Stress and burnout

  • Confidence and self-esteem

  • Panic attacks

  • Habits and unwanted behaviours

Online hypnotherapy sessions

All sessions are available online, giving you the flexibility to access hypnotherapy from the comfort of your own home.

This means you can get support wherever you’re based, without the need to travel.

About Catherine

I am a qualified hypnotherapist specialising in anxiety, phobias and confidence. My approach is supportive, practical and focused on helping you achieve real, lasting change.

You don’t have to keep feeling this way.

Book your initial consultation today and take the first step towards feeling calmer and more in control.

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.

Catherine Laing Hypnotherapy has helped me immeasurably, especially due to the goal orientated, positive approach. I left every session more optimistic, with a deeper understanding of how my body was functioning and why I was experiencing anxiety; I would recommend Catherine to all! And I always feel welcome to return for a refresher if necessary!

I Contacted Catherine Laing at a time when I was depressed, stressed and struggling with my weight. On our initial consultation, Catherine put me at ease and I felt I could relate to her and trust that she would be able to help me resolve my issues. Ten sessions later, I felt a different person. I was calmer, able to function better than I had done for years and truly found a new zest for life. Her therapy totally improved my home, social and work life. As a result of this I've lost weight and continued to improve my health and fitness. If you're in a similar situation to the old me, I'd definitely recommend you contact Catherine Laing.

I saw Catherine for anxiety and then again for bereavement and I can only say her treatment has got me through some very dark times indeed.
I will always reach out for a top up if needed. I can’t recommend her services enough she really is a true professional and one of the most genuine people I have ever met. Her process is calm and engaging and she very much puts you at ease.
Don’t hesitate just book you will never regret it.

After struggling with anxiety from being a child (now 60). I decided to give hypnotherapy a whirl as felt nothing to lose. It has been a life changing experience for me. Catherine put me at ease immediately she taught me the true facts of anxiety and over sessions my life changed. I can’t thank Catherine enough. I had tried medicines and numerous other therapies to end up in the same place. 100% recommend and if your reading this feeling more anxious and a little scared 😱 please don’t because it’s life changing. Reach out to Catherine
