🧠Clinical Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy Beat overwhelm and start living again! My name is Katie Churms. Imagine feeling confident and in control every day.
I am a fully qualified (HPD, DSFH, BA Hons), accredited and insured clinical Solution Focused Hypnotherapist. My practice is based in Potton, Bedfordshire but I can also work with you online from anywhere in the world. I specialise in supporting people feeling anxious, overwhelmed and stressed but can support with a wide range of symptoms. I am so passionate about the solution focused approach and have seen it change so many lives, including my own! Solution Focused Hypnotherapy combines forward thinking talking psychotherapy (taking elements of SFBT, CBT and NLP) and hypnosis and is a very modern and up to date approach based on the latest neuroscience. We work on moving forward and helping you to become the best version of yourself again, without the need to dwell on the past or focus on the problem. We focus on helping you to find solutions, reduce anxiety and stress levels (all of which contribute to many other conditions), as well as changing behaviours and unhelpful thinking patterns. We also help you to understand how your brain works and why you feel and behave the way you do. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy combines both conscious and sub-conscious change. What difference would that make to your life? What would you be able to achieve? I work with people suffering from; anxiety, stress, overwhelm, depression, low mood, low confidence, sleep problems, chronic pain, OCD, phobias, plus many more! If you are ready to make changes and get the real you back again then please don't hesitate to get in touch to book your initial consultation and start your journey. I look forward to hearing from you.

A real-life client success story ✨
When Jo first came to therapy, she felt overwhelmed, anxious, and physically drained.
Today, she’s confident, calm, organised and able to manage life and her long-term health with strength and ease.
And the best part?
She’s done this through small, consistent steps, healthy boundaries, and learning to prioritise herself.
This could be you too.
With the right support, mindset shifts, and consistency, life can feel lighter and you can feel more in control again.
If Jo’s journey resonates with you, know that change is possible 💚💪🏻.
When Claire first came to see me, she felt completely overwhelmed-constantly crying, overthinking, and barely sleeping.
Week by week, she began making small, manageable changes: journaling, decluttering her home, and using lists to bring calm and structure to her days.
Now, she describes herself as 10 out of 10 on the happiness scale…not because life is perfect, but because she’s learned how to manage it with grace and confidence 💚.
If you can relate to Claire’s story, please know you’re not alone. Reach out to me or someone you trust because support is out there, and healing is possible 💚.
Do you ever find yourself worrying what people think of you?
Maybe replaying conversations, wondering if you said the wrong thing or if someone’s got the wrong idea?
It’s exhausting, isn’t it?
You can’t control what others think, even when it feels unfair. But that doesn’t make their story the truth.
Sometimes people misunderstand or make assumptions and that can hurt, especially when your integrity’s questioned.
But here’s the thing: you can’t correct every perception. What you can control is how you keep showing up.
Over time, truth, time and consistency = reputation recovery.
Most people move on far faster than your anxious mind believes.
When you notice yourself spiralling into “what do they think?” try this:
✨ Pause. Remind yourself that assumptions live in their mind, not yours.
✨ Refocus. Ask, “What do I know to be true about me right now?”
✨ Re-align. Keep showing up with integrity, even when it’s tempting to overexplain or defend yourself.
You don’t need to fix their perception- you just need to stay anchored in who you are 💚.

Why being appropriately qualified, accredited, and insured matters ⬇️⬇️
Did you know that hypnotherapy isn’t currently a regulated industry in the UK?
That means anyone could complete a one or two day online course and call themselves a “hypnotherapist.”
This is really concerning because when supporting people who are struggling with their mental health and wellbeing, it’s vital that practitioners are appropriately trained, qualified, and insured.
I trained intensively for 10 months (in person), working with case studies from the very start of my training and completing two professional hypnotherapy qualifications alongside written work and assessments.
I’m proud to be:
✨ Associated, accredited, and registered with the Association for Solution Focused Hypnotherapists (AfSFH) and the National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH).
✨A fully qualified clinical hypnotherapist holding the HPD and DSFH.
✨ A Level 5 qualified supervisor, supporting other hypnotherapists in their practice.
✨ Fully insured and Enhanced DBS checked for your peace of mind.
✨A busy practitioner with 6 years client experience running a full time practice.
When choosing a hypnotherapist, please take a moment to check their qualifications, accreditations, and experience. It makes all the difference in ensuring you’re in safe, skilled hands 💚.

Watching Lily’s transformation over the past two years has been truly amazing. She’s a totally different person to who I met back then!
When she first started therapy, her anxiety made everyday life feel impossible-driving alone, socialising, even blood tests were overwhelming.
Through gentle, consistent work, she rebuilt her confidence step by step.
Now, Lily drives herself to work, enjoys social interactions, faces blood tests without fear, and is thriving on a university course she absolutely loves đź’š.
Therapy isn’t about instant change, it’s about creating a safe space to grow, at your own pace.
If you’re struggling right now, please know that progress is possible. One small step at a time

Treat your brain like your bicep 💪🏻.
You wouldn’t walk into the gym once and expect to be strong so why expect your mind to be resilient without training it? đź§
Your brain is a muscle. It needs reps-daily habits that challenge your focus, stretch your comfort zone and strengthen your mindset.
It needs rest-quiet time, reflection, sleep.
It needs fuel -nutrition, hydration and thoughts that actually serve you.
Every time you choose discipline over distraction,
every time you show up when it’s uncomfortable you’re doing another rep for your mental fitness 💪🏻.
So keep showing up.
Feed it. Train it. Rest it.
Because a strong mind, just like a strong body, is built, not born.
🧠💪 Save this for the days you need a reminder to do your mental reps 🏋️‍♀️.
