Gentle, goal-focused hypnotherapy in Buckhurst Hill
At Cherry Tree Therapy Centre, we offer hypnotherapy as a safe, relaxing way to work with the subconscious mind. Whether you’re looking to manage anxiety, overcome phobias, break unhelpful habits, or improve confidence, hypnotherapy can support you to make positive, lasting change.
Sessions are tailored to your needs and led by a qualified hypnotherapist in a calm, confidential setting at our centre in Buckhurst Hill.
Hypnotherapy can support a wide range of issues, including:
General anxiety and panic attacks
Fears and phobias (e.g. flying, driving, public speaking)
Sleep issues and insomnia
Confidence and self-esteem
Smoking cessation
Weight management
Stress-related habits (e.g. nail biting, teeth grinding)
Performance anxiety (in sports, work, or exams)
Hypnotherapy uses focused attention and guided relaxation to help you access a state of heightened awareness. In this deeply relaxed state, your mind becomes more open to suggestions, helping you shift limiting thoughts and behaviours.
You're always in control during hypnotherapy; it’s not about being “put under,” but rather entering a calm, focused state where change becomes possible.
When you come for hypnotherapy at Cherry Tree Therapy Centre, you will receive:
A calm, confidential space where you feel safe and respected
A thorough initial consultation to understand your goals
Sessions tailored to your specific needs and pace
Practical tools and strategies to support you beyond the session
A therapist who works collaboratively with you, no scripts or gimmicks
If you’re curious about having hypnotherapy in Buckhurst Hill but unsure if it’s right for you, we’re happy to answer any questions you may have. Hypnotherapy isn’t magic, but it can be remarkably effective when you’re ready for change and open to trying something new.
When you come to Cherry Tree Therapy Centre for hypnotherapy, you’ll be welcomed into a calm, private space where your comfort and well-being come first.
Here’s what you can expect from the process:
A friendly, no-pressure first session: We’ll take time to talk through what you’d like support with, and make sure hypnotherapy feels like the right fit for you.
A collaborative approach: You’ll be fully in control throughout. Your hypnotherapist will explain everything clearly and work at a pace that feels safe and manageable.
Sessions that go deeper without being overwhelming: Hypnotherapy helps you access the subconscious mind gently, so you can explore underlying patterns and shift them in a supportive way.
Time to relax and reflect: Many clients leave sessions feeling calm, clear, and more grounded, with new insights and tools to carry into everyday life.
Our aim is to make sure you feel safe, respected, and heard, whether you’re completely new to hypnotherapy or have tried it before.
Yes, hypnotherapy is a safe and gentle therapeutic approach. You’re fully in control at all times, and your therapist will guide you through the process with care and sensitivity. It’s a relaxing experience for most people, and many leave feeling calm and refreshed.
No. You won’t be “under” or unaware. Hypnotherapy isn’t like stage hypnosis. You’ll be in a relaxed, focused state, and you’ll be able to speak, move, or end the session at any point. You’re always in charge of the process.
That depends on what you’re coming for and what you’d like to achieve. Some issues respond well to just a few sessions, while others may take longer. Your hypnotherapist will talk it through with you and work at a pace that feels right.
Hypnotherapy can support a wide range of issues, including anxiety, stress, phobias, low self-esteem, sleep difficulties, and habits like smoking or nail biting. It's also helpful for confidence-building, motivation, and managing performance anxiety.
Most people can benefit from hypnotherapy, but it may not be appropriate for those with certain mental health conditions, such as psychosis or severe dissociation. Your therapist will discuss your needs and background in the initial consultation to ensure it’s the right fit for you.
