Stockport Hypnotherapy doesn’t work strictly to the clock – the session takes as long as you need to feel better.
A team of six women work together at the Stockport Hypnotherapy Clinic in Didsbury, south Manchester. They practice a combination of hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and counselling.
These approaches are highly effective in the treatment of a wide variety of:
- anxiety, stress and depression related problems, including OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), Irritable Bowel Syndrome, stress at work and the stress and anxiety caused by problems with fertility and IVF
- breaking bad habits (such as smoking, hair pulling, or nail biting)
- weight loss, compulsive eating and eating disorders
- depression
- insomnia
- phobias (such as fear of flying, fear of needles, fear of the dentist, fear of spiders)
- psychosomatic conditions
- tinnitus
- Restless Leg Syndrome
- pain management
Hypnotherapy is also extremely helpful for better focus and to build confidence and self esteem. Find out more about hypnotherapy in the FAQs section and Treatments section.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy at Stockport Hypnotherapy
CBT is used by the NHS for anxiety, stress, depression and bad habits. Apart from hypnosis, CBT is the only psychological therapy approved by the NHS.
Cognitive simply means about your thoughts; behavioural – obviously! – means about the way you behave. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy means any therapy dealing with those thoughts and beliefs, which affect your behaviour or make you feel bad.
CBT teaches you to identify and question those thoughts and beliefs. CBT teaches you to check for negative thinking. This might include panicking, worrying or always assuming the worst. Or it might mean over-generalising in a negative way, and jumping to conclusions. CBT helps you to replace these thoughts with positive, realistic, and helpful thoughts.
If you suffer with anxiety or panic, however, it can be difficult to focus on your thought processes. It can feel impossible to change your behaviour. It’s as if it’s just too hard for you to stop behaving the way you do. Hypnotherapy works by allowing you to feel deeply relaxed and comfortable. You forget your anxiety and worries. It provides relief from anxiety and stress, so you can calm your thoughts enough to start questioning and changing them. You can then also start challenging the belief that it is impossible to change, or to stop worrying.
Some psychological approaches look back into your past relationships to help you understand why you feel like you do. Hypnosis and CBT then help you to feel and behave differently. But be careful of anyone who says only one type of therapy will work. Therapy is not one size fits all. We’ll work with you to find the way that suits your needs.

Our team use a number of approaches including CBT (cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy), a specialized form of hypnotherapy that is particularly effective at dealing with bad habits, phobias and negative thinking.
The therapists at Stockport Hypnotherapy use a common sense, evidence based approach. This is the approach used by the most clinical hypnotherapists. Research and analysis shows that hypnosis is not an “altered state” of mind or a special brain state. It’s a state of relaxation where the mind is much better at focussing attention on particular ideas and suggestions.
It’s not true that hypnosis works by speaking to the left side of the brain, or that you’ll be in a trance, where you have no control or understanding. These beliefs go back hundreds of years. Unfortunately stage hypnosis makes people think that what they are seeing is real! It’s not and you shouldn’t worry.
Some people are scared of hypnosis. People worry they won’t be in control of their actions and will do something against their will. They worry that they will be in a sleep-like state and won’t remember what has happened. All of this is wrong. Being in hypnosis is a perfectly natural and safe activity, where you remain completely in control. You can stop hypnosis at any time. You really can’t be made to do anything you don’t want to.
Choosing a Hypnotherapist
This is an important decision. It is worth spending some time to research it. Look how long a hypnotherapist has been practicing – do they really have much experience? Do they say what kind of approach they take? Will it suit you? Do they have independent reviews that have been checked? Websites are not covered by the Advertising Standards Authority and a therapist can therefore make any claim they wish on their sites, without anything to back them up. If there’s nothing to back it up then it’s just advertising – NOT fact.
It is important you feel comfortable and safe with any hypnotherapist you choose. You should also check that they are qualified, registered and insured. The main hypnotherapy regulators won’t register a hypnotherapist who isn’t qualified, and insured.
So if your therapist is registered with the National Council for Hypnotherapy or the General Hypnotherapy Register (there are others but these are the main ones), you will have the security of knowing that your hypnotherapist is a properly trained professional.
