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.

Many of the professionals I work with are highly capable, driven and outwardly successful.

From the outside, life often looks well managed.

But behind closed doors, a different story can emerge. A constant sense of pressure. A mind that struggles to switch off. The feeling of always being "on", moving from one responsibility to the next with very little space to land.

When this becomes the norm, the nervous system can begin to live in a permanent state of alert. Sleep suffers.
Patience shortens. Balance starts to feel like something other people manage to achieve.

Therapy isn't only for moments of crisis.

Sometimes it's simply a space to pause, to make sense of what's been building quietly in the background, and to reconnect with a steadier way of living and working.

Because success shouldn't have to come at the expense of your wellbeing.

If you're a working professional who feels stretched, overwhelmed or disconnected from balance, support can help you find your way back to it.

Reach out today.

If your body reacts before you do, it doesn’t mean you’re broken.

It means your nervous system learned something once, and it’s been trying to keep you safe ever since.

And the beautiful thing?

Protection can be updated.

Lots of my clients really struggle with this.
Using your voice to stand up for yourself.
To speak up when you feel the need to.
But something stops you.

That feeling in your tummy, or your chest, or maybe your throat.

So you stay quiet. Let it slide. Again.
That can slowly chip away.

There will be a beginning to this, a moment that taught you that it's not safe to speak up.
Maybe a parent that chastised you for questioning.
Kids in the playground laughing at something you said.
A teacher calling you names 'idiot, stupid' for getting something wrong.

And so you learned to stay quiet.

It doesn't have to be like that forever.
We can find the root and change it.

Give you your belief in the ability and strength in your voice back.
Change dynamics.
Boost confidence.
Deepen relationships.
Widen your world.

Contact me for a free initial conversation.
Let your voice be heard.
