Kate Hickmore - Cognitive Hypnotherapy

Kate Hickmore - Cognitive Hypnotherapy Cognitive Hypnotherapy, NLP Master Practitioner & Coaching. Empowering you to live calm, content & confident, authentically you. DipCHyp, HPD, MNLP.

Face to face in Colchester, online worldwide. Comprehensively Insured. Registered with NCH & QCHPA. I'm Kate a QCH Cognitive Hypnotherapist. I trained with The Quest Institute at London's Regents University. Where I went on to complete the Master NLP Practitioner course. I also completed the HPD diploma which is externally marked and verified. I have regular supervision and continue with CPD. I am comprehensively insured with Holistic Insurance and am registered with the NCH & QCHPA. Cognitive Hypnotherapy is a flexible approach to therapy honouring your uniqueness using evidence based techniques. (NLP, positive psychology, EFT, EMI, parts, gestalt to name a few). You are the only person that has lived your life, so your sessions should reflect that. No two sessions will be the same, it's all tailored to you. I will write recordings bespoke for you, there is no, one size fits all. I became a Cognitive Hypnotherapist after seeing a therapist myself and witnessing how life changing it could be. I can help with lots of issues, from self esteem and confidence, to stress and anxiety. Fears and phobias, unwanted habits or behaviours. To limiting beliefs, such as I'm not good enough, lovable enough. Or it might be that you can't quite find the right word to describe how you feel, that you just feel lost or disconnected. During our first session we'll have a chat, get to know each other, I will get a really good understanding of whats going on for you and what you'd like instead. What your strengths, values, beliefs are. Then we'll take it from there. I'm always happy to chat, and offer a free initial, no obligation, phone call to see if this kind of therapy could be right for you. So if you want to feel heard and seen, maybe for the first time, in a safe, non judgmental environment, reach out.

Sometimes talking helps.

And sometimes, it feels you've talked about it all, and you're still stuck.

Cognitive hypnotherapy works differently, by engaging your subconscious mind to help you gently release old patterns and create lasting change from the inside out.

Because when the subconscious shifts, everything else can too.

Maybe now is the time. Reach out today.

People are often surprised when they tell me how much they enjoy their sessions. Therapy isn’t something most people expect to enjoy. They imagine it will be heavy and emotional. Difficult.

Of course it is sometimes. But it can also be light and, to be honest, funny. I feel like I laugh a lot with my clients. We're all humans just trying our best to make this human experience a good one.

I've lost count of the clients that come in nervous and then drag their heels to leave, saying that can't possibly have been an hour!

And you know, the brain is a funny old thing. I think it's good to laugh at it, the mad ideas it gets about things sometimes. The way it takes something green and turns it purple and then sticks to it like a stubborn kid.

There is something really powerful about seeing those things clearly for the first time, not as problems but as parts of being human. When that happens, everything feels a little lighter.

Therapy doesn’t have to be serious all the time. It can be curious, creative and full of small moments of relief.

The happy faces of two Cognitive Hypnotherapists that have finally achieved their vision from the beginning of the year, to bring their friendship and shared love of their work together in the one place.

We both believe that therapy doesn't have to always be a serious and snotty affair - although the tissues are always on hand. We bring warmth, humour and a lot of genuine love and care to our clients and our sessions.

There are times when we will be deep in the depths of subconscious fears and painful patterns, but there are also times when we are laughing at the silliness of the brain and the way it makes sense (or not!) of things.

And remember, we offer all our clients a free phone consultation before taking you on to make sure we really are the right fit for you.

You can request one of us specifically, of if you just email or message in we can decide who might be best suited between ourselves.

If you've ever thought, why am I feeling like this? It might actually be your nervous system trying to protect you. 1. Feeling on edge, even when nothings wrong. Racing thoughts, tight chest, difficulty relaxing. Your body may be stuck in fight flight, scanning for danger, even when you're safe. 2. You shut down when overwhelmed. You cancel plans, feel numb, or struggle to think clearly. This is often freeze mode, a nervous system response to too much stress. 3. Your emotions feel too big, or numb. You cry easily, snap quickly or feel emotionally flat. Deregulation swings between overwhelm and disconnection, both are signs your system needs support. You can retrain your nervous system, teach your body that it is safe. Then things start to feel easier again. Do you want help regulating your nervous system gently and safely? This is what I help clients with everyday. Message me if you'd like to know how I can support you.
