What is Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (CBH)?
Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (CBH) is an effective, evidence‑based therapy that helps you change the way your thoughts, emotions, and body respond to stress.
It combines two powerful, research‑supported approaches:
✧ Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT is one of the most widely studied psychological therapies for managing anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm.
It teaches you how to notice unhelpful thoughts, shift negative patterns, and respond to challenges in calmer, more constructive ways.
✧ Clinical Hypnosis
Hypnosis is a state of focused attention - a bit like being deeply absorbed in a daydream or guided meditation.
In this state, your mind becomes more receptive to positive suggestions, and it’s easier to integrate new ways of thinking and feeling.
When combined, CBH helps you learn practical tools to manage your thoughts and emotions, while hypnosis reinforces these new patterns on a deeper level.
What CBH Feels Like
✧ You are always in control – you can speak, move, or open your eyes at any time.
✧ Most people describe it as deeply calming and restorative, like your nervous system finally gets to exhale.
✧ Sessions may include guided relaxation, imagery, and evidence‑based cognitive exercises that you can use outside of therapy, too.
How CBH Supports Your Fertility Journey
Fertility challenges bring unique emotional stress - uncertainty, grief, the two‑week wait, or the exhaustion of repeated IVF cycles.
CBH can help you:
✧ Calm racing thoughts and emotional spikes during waiting periods
✧ Release tension and emotional heaviness after loss or setbacks
✧ Build inner resilience so the journey feels less overwhelming
✧ Reconnect with a sense of safety and balance in your own body
It’s not about forcing positivity or promising a pregnancy.
It’s about creating emotional freedom - so you can move through this chapter with calm, clarity, and self‑compassion.
Why It Works
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is one of the most research‑backed methods for reducing anxiety, improving emotional regulation, and creating lasting mindset shifts.
Hypnosis enhances CBT by helping you absorb and integrate new, healthier responses more effectively in a relaxed, focused state.
Together, CBH offers practical skills and emotional tools you can carry into your daily life - beyond the therapy session.
My Approach to Supporting Women on the Fertility Journey
The fertility journey is often full of invisible emotions - hope, grief, frustration, and waiting - that the outside world rarely sees.
Most fertility support focuses on:
✧ Medical solutions (tests, treatments, protocols)
✧ Success stories that can sometimes feel distant or triggering
✧ General wellness tips without addressing deep emotional needs
My approach is different.
1. Emotion‑First, Not Outcome‑First
I don’t focus on pregnancy announcements or clinical milestones.
Instead, I create a safe, judgement‑free space for:
✧ Processing grief and loss without rushing toward “positivity”
✧ Finding calm and emotional steadiness during the two‑week wait or ongoing IVF cycles
✧ Rebuilding trust in yourself and your body, even when the journey feels uncertain
2. Evidence‑Based Tools, Held with Deep Compassion
I combine Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (CBH) with elements of:
✧ Gentle somatic awareness and relaxation practices
✧ Mind‑body tools like breathwork and guided imagery
✧ Lifestyle guidance for nurturing the nervous system through rest, nourishment, and emotional release
Unlike generic fertility coaching or peer support apps, my approach is structured, evidence‑based, and therapeutic - yet heart‑led and human.
3. A Space Where You Are Already Enough
In my sessions, you’re not a project to fix or a “success story in progress.”
You are already whole.
Together, we focus on:
✧ Emotional freedom over forced optimism
✧ Practical coping tools you can use beyond our sessions
✧ Creating a sanctuary inside yourself, so you feel supported even between appointments or life’s hardest moments
Why Women Choose This Approach
Clients come to me because they are tired of feeling alone, pressured, or unseen in traditional fertility spaces.
Here, you’ll find:
✧ Confidential, emotionally safe support
✧ Practical strategies for anxiety, grief, and emotional regulation
✧ A companion on the journey who honours every feeling, not just the highlight moments
✧ This is the place where your heart can rest, even when life feels uncertain.
