About me

If you’re considering hypnotherapy, it’s important to feel comfortable with the person you’re working with.

I specialise in hypnotherapy for anxiety, phobias and confidence, supporting clients to feel calmer, more in control and able to move forward.

My approach is supportive, practical and tailored to you as an individual.

My approach

I believe that lasting change comes from understanding both the mind and the individual experience behind it.

Every client is different, which is why sessions are tailored to your specific needs, whether you’re dealing with anxiety, a phobia, low confidence or another challenge.

My aim is to create a calm, supportive space where you feel comfortable and understood.

Why hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy works by helping you access the subconscious mind, where patterns of thought, behaviour and emotional responses are formed.

By working at this level, it’s possible to create meaningful, lasting change—whether that’s reducing anxiety, overcoming a phobia or building confidence.

Training and qualifications

I am an award winning practitioner with over 25 years experience.

I trained with Clifton Practice Hypnotherapy Training (CPHT), gaining my Level 4 Diploma in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy. I have also gained the Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma awarded by the National Council for Hypnotherapy, which is the Gold Standard in hypnotherapy training.

I am fully insured and hold an enhanced DBS check. I’m registered with the Association for Solution Focused Hypnotherapists (AfSFH), the National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH) and the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) and I abide by their strict Codes of Conduct, Performance and Ethics.

Who I work with

I work with individuals who are ready to make a change, whether they’ve been struggling for a long time or are facing a more recent challenge.

Sessions are adapted to suit your pace and comfort level.

Sessions are available online, allowing you to access support from wherever you are, in a space where you feel comfortable.

If you’d like to find out whether hypnotherapy is right for you, the first step is a conversation.

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

She is very knowledgeable and warm I would recommend if you are suffering don’t hesitate to book sessions with Catherine.
