At Aligned Mindset Therapy, we specialise in Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (CBH), an evidence-based approach that combines the structured techniques of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with the focused relaxation of hypnosis. This integrative method empowers you to understand and transform unhelpful thought patterns, emotions, and behaviours.
How Does CBH Work?
CBH integrates three core components:
Cognitive Techniques: Identify and reframe negative thought patterns to foster healthier thinking.
Behavioural Strategies: Implement practical steps to change unhelpful behaviours and reinforce positive ones.
Hypnosis: Enter a state of deep relaxation to enhance the effectiveness of therapeutic suggestions.
This combination facilitates a comprehensive approach to personal development and mental well-being.
Hypnotic Skills Training: Empowering You Beyond Sessions
A unique aspect of our CBH approach is the inclusion of hypnotic skills training. We teach you self-hypnosis techniques, enabling you to:
Manage stress and anxiety independently.
Enhance focus and confidence.
Reinforce positive behavioural changes.
Improve sleep quality.
By mastering self-hypnosis, you gain tools to support your well-being beyond our sessions.

Anxiety and stress

Habitual behaviours (e.g., nail biting, skin picking)
