Cognitive Hypnotherapy Berkhamsted, Hemel Hempstead, Tring: Recent media articles
Cognitive Hypnotherapy was recently highlighted in The Guardian’s life & style section, shining a light on this modern approach that blends traditional hypnosis with evidence-based psychological methods.
At my practice in Berkhamsted, I use Cognitive Hypnotherapy to help clients tackle a wide range of issues from anxiety and sleep problems to long-standing habits and emotional patterns that no longer serve them.
“People aren’t broken; they’re just stuck in patterns that no longer work for them.” — Trevor Silvester
This perspective is central to Cognitive Hypnotherapy. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all script, it draws from a wide range of approaches (including NLP and positive psychology) to tailor each session to the individual.
What challenges can it help with?
Anxiety and stress: Learn to respond differently to triggering situations and calm the nervous system.
Sleep difficulties and insomnia: Break the cycle of racing thoughts and improve sleep quality.
Habit change: Address the unconscious drivers behind behaviors like smoking, overeating, or nail biting.
Emotional balance: Reduce emotional reactivity and develop greater resilience.
Quoted in The Guardian
In The Guardian article, Cognitive Hypnotherapy was described as a “flexible and adaptive” approach that moves beyond old stereotypes of hypnosis as mere stage entertainment. Instead, it offers a modern framework to help people unlock change by working with both conscious and unconscious processes.
