Untangling You

Are you juggling multiple roles – parent, professional, caretaker – and feeling like you’re never fully present in any of them?

Do you feel like you can never switch off from your to-do list, and that you are constantly interrupted by conflicting demands?

Are you constantly worried about meeting other people’s expectations – whether at work, with family, or friends – and fear you’re not doing enough?

Do you often feel overwhelmed, anxious, or burnt out, with no time to recharge or reflect on what truly matters?

Do you feel stuck, unable to make decisions or take the next step, with self-doubt holding you back from moving forward?

find more balance between your personal, work, and family life, and feel like you’re in control of your time and energy?

set healthier boundaries around your time, energy, and attention, and stop feeling like you’re always at the mercy of other people’s demands?

feel more confident in your decisions, trust yourself, and stop second-guessing your choices?

build resilience and coping strategies to handle stress and setbacks without feeling overwhelmed?

Our work together

3 Key Pillars

The work we do together falls into 3 key pillars, which help you to unlock your full potential and thrive as your authentic self.

Master your mind

Step outside of the labels, boxes and expectations, and get a sense of who the real you is and your unique offering to the world. Reconnect with the parts of you that have been left behind because they didn’t align with past experiences and people, and learn how to integrate them back into your life.

Uncover the unhelpful beliefs that are keeping you stuck and preventing you from achieving your goals, and rewrite them to become more supportive and empowering.

Be visible as the authentic version of yourself; breaking free from the constraints of self-doubt, owning your strengths, and cultivating the courage to be seen as your amazing, unique self.

Create supportive systems

Create new strategies and routines to work with your brain and body, supporting both you through periods of ebb and flow.

Interact with others in a way that feels empowered and authentic to you and helps you to navigate professional and personal discussions with confidence and impact. Unlock your ability to effectively articulate your ideas, influence, negotiate, and be assertive and advocate for yourself.

Communicate your needs and expectations to others to help you manage your energy, time, emotions, and resources. Take up the space you need to and keep promises and commitments to yourself without judgement or self-chastisement.

Do the thing!

Explore what works for your brain and body; including practical steps to minimize mental clutter and enhance your focus and motivation, and working with your subconscious mind to explore your goals, navigate the possibilities and turn your imagination into innovation.

Embrace new ways of thinking to increase your creativity in your ideas and problem-solving capabilities. We’ll use non-linear techniques to complement your working preferences, variability and brilliant humanness.

Connect with your unique strengths, boosting your self-confidence so you can feel resourced and empowered to navigate change and uncertainty more easily. Create a toolbox equipped with coping mechanisms and adaptive strategies, allowing you to be prepared for whatever your life throws at you and grow through periods of transition.

Kind Words

“I have felt I have lost who I am, feel misunderstood, angry and anxious a lot of the time, being triggered very easily and not understanding why. Just one session with Kate took me to a place where I could regain my inner calm and realise who I am. I’d highly recommend that anyone reading this to take that step and contact Kate!”

Charlotte

“The three sessions that I had with you, were absolutely mind blowing, I’ve been inspired and had the courage to “find” myself and to be more than just a partner and a mother. I have begun to formulate plans and strategies to both change the structure of my day and also how I perceive myself. Changes are most definitely being made! I also now realise that I do not require a label to define myself. I am me and that is enough.”

Jane

“My time with Kate enabled me to look at things from different perspectives, this has all had a great positive impact. Kate is insightful, skilled and nurturing and I would really recommend working with her. I found the whole experience extremely calming and great for the soul.”

Catherine

“Kate’s sessions have guided me from feeling very lost and overwhelmed in my career and ways of thinking to being able to understand what really matters and to more confidently move forward more instinctually and follow my nose. They’ve helped me feel more confident about my skills and experience and that my dreams are possible.”

Jenny

“My self belief has gone sky high. I feel such confidence that I have never felt before. I never anticipated that I would get so much out of my time with Kate. It’s like a veil has been lifted and I finally feel an inner peace in myself. I couldn’t recommend it enough.”

Emma

“I couldn’t thank you enough for your support and helping me move some issues forward and learn new ways to cope.”

Will

“I came to see Kate struggling with my identity after a career break. Through a combination of coaching and hypnosis Kate helped me attack my CV with excitement and confidence and within just two sessions I had a clearer idea of what I wanted to be doing and how to get there with renewed ambition and self-belief. The hypnosis helped me to bolster this confidence and focus on the tasks we had discussed in the sessions. Now I am ready to start contacting prospective employers and am excited about my next chapter.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What is hypnotherapy, and how does it work?

Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic technique that utilises guided relaxation and focused attention to help you explore the root causes of your thoughts, feelings and behaviours, and to create positive, long-lasting changes in your life.

In hypnotherapy, we use hypnosis to help your body feel relaxed while your mind is focused and more open to suggestions. It is a similar state to the feeling of driving a familiar route ‘on autopilot’, or zoning out when watching a film, or scrolling on your phone. We all go in and out of hypnosis by ourselves every single day.

During hypnosis you are still aware of what is happening around you but your attention will be focused on one topic, so you will remain in control and not be made to do anything or say anything you do not want to do. It is a collaborative process where I use questions and suggestions to help you quickly uncover the answers and solutions you need from within you. It might be that you release an old belief or fear, see things from a different perspective, or rewire habituated patterns of thoughts, feelings or behaviour.

What can I expect during a session?

We’ll start your first session by discussing your goals and any relevant background information. For subsequent sessions, we’ll review how things have been since the last session and set a focus for the session ahead.

Our sessions are a collaborative process where you’re actively engaged in your own transformation. If you need a more therapeutic-based session, we’ll spend more time in hypnosis exploring your inner world and making new connections. If you need a more practical, coaching-based session, we’ll spend more time using solution focused and goal-setting processes. It’s reactive to whatever you bring to the session, and we adapt to whatever comes up.

Whatever the focus on the session, I’ll use various techniques to address specific areas of focus and facilitate positive change. I’ll help you uncover what is holding you back, discover new options and possibilities, and release old beliefs, emotions and fears. You will be able to make changes from a really calm and grounded perspective, and help you reach your goals in a way that feels do-able for you.

Sessions can be held in-person, in Cranbrook, Kent or online using Zoom. Many of my clients use online sessions and find them just as effective as in-person sessions.

How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions varies depending on your individual needs and goals.

In our introductory call, we will work together to create a plan for your sessions that suits your timeline and objectives.

Sessions are usually held either weekly or fortnightly, depending on your goals and how much processing and integration time you’d like between sessions.
