Cherie James, MNCH (Reg.), HPD

Overview

A qualified therapist and coach, I offer practical, evidence-based therapy, combining elements of hypnotherapy, CBT, NLP, Psychotherapy, Gestalt and more, designed to help people let go of the unhealthy patterns of behaviour and limiting beliefs (unconscious programming) that have been holding them back.
 
Whether you’re battling with self-esteem and confidence issues, feeling stressed, anxious and overwhelmed, wanting to overcome a phobia, or just trying to kick unhealthy habits like smoking, drinking, or over-eating – I’d love to help guide you through it.
 
 
ABOUT ME
I firmly believe that everybody stands to benefit from therapy. Over the years, I’ve suffered from burnout, anxiety, and diagnoses of Chronic Fatigue & Fibromyalgia. I’ve been in an abusive relationship, married the love of my life, and lost two daughters. I’ve rebuilt a life for myself in three different countries. I’ve traveled, loved, laughed, and lost.
 
Before training as a QCH Therapist and Coach, I spent 25 years working as a senior international manager in the design and entertainment industries. I have first-hand experience of the debilitating effects stress and anxiety can have on people. Not only can I relate to them, I can also equip you with the tools you need to prevent their disastrous effects.
 
I am so passionate about what I do because I know the transformative effect it has on people’s lives. I’ve experienced it myself, and now I help others to achieve it. Cognitive Hypnotherapy helped me to see my problems and challenges in a new light and gave me the confidence to make the positive changes I needed in all areas of my life.
 
WHAT IS COGNITIVE HYPNOTHERAPY?
Cognitive Hypnotherapy is a person-centred, flexible, and transformational approach designed to equip you with the practical tools you need to bring about meaningful and lasting changes in your life. It utilises light trance, which is similar to the everyday nature of daydreaming, or getting lost in thought while driving a car. Cognitive Hypnotherapy draws on a broad range of therapeutic techniques – including NLP, CBT, Psychotherapy, Gestalt, Positive Psychology, Traditional Hypnotherapy, Transactional Analysis and more. Practitioners don’t treat labels with standard scripts. We treat people, and we approach each person as the unique individual that they are.

MY APPROACH
Your treatment plan will be tailored to your specific individual needs and goals and will be conducted in a safe, comfortable environment where you feel you can explore anything without fear of judgment or embarrassment. I am fun, practical and down to earth – and that’s exactly how you can expect sessions with me to be.

To see if we are well suited to one another, why not contact me today for a complimentary session – where you can ask any questions you might have about how we could work together to change your life for good.
