Hypnotherapy St Albans

If you’re looking for hypnotherapy in St Albans, I offer a practical, personalised approach using Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (CBH).

At Behavioural Freedom, I work with people experiencing anxiety, phobias, panic attacks, stress and other issues that may be preventing them from feeling confident and in control of their lives.

I’m Gillian Wingard, a Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist trained in Hypno-CBT®. I combine cognitive and behavioural techniques with hypnosis and relaxation to help you understand the thoughts and behaviours that may be keeping a problem going and develop practical ways to change them.

There are no ‘off the shelf’ packages. Our sessions are tailored around you, the difficulties you are experiencing and what you want to achieve.

Hypnotherapy isn’t about losing control or having someone take over your mind. You remain aware and involved throughout the process, and the techniques we use are designed to help you develop skills that you can continue to use outside our sessions.

I offer face-to-face appointments in St Albans as well as online sessions.

How I Treat Stress with Hypnotherapy

Stress can affect the way you think, feel and behave and, when it continues for too long, can begin to have a real impact on your everyday life.

At Behavioural Freedom, I use Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy to help you recognise the thoughts and behaviours that may be contributing to your stress and develop practical ways to respond to them differently.

During our sessions, I will teach you relaxation techniques and helpful strategies that you can use when you begin to feel under pressure. An important part of my approach is giving you skills that you can continue to use for yourself, both during your treatment and long after our sessions have finished.

By combining cognitive behavioural techniques with hypnosis and relaxation, we can work on helping you feel calmer, more in control and better equipped to deal with stressful situations.

There are no ‘off the shelf’ solutions. Your sessions are tailored around you, the pressures you are experiencing and what you want to change.

Relaxation Through Hypnotherapy in St Albans

Who among us doesn’t like to feel a sense of pure relaxation?

We often live our lives at 100 miles an hour and opportunities to completely switch off – without phones beeping, jobs to do or somebody wanting something from us – can be few and far between.

Some people soak in the bath, listen to music or enjoy a massage. At Behavioural Freedom, I know that not everyone enjoys the tactile ‘laying of hands’ element of massage but may still crave that feeling of being deeply relaxed and able to switch off for a while.

When I talk about relaxation through hypnosis, I don’t mean swinging a pocket watch in front of your face and telling you to go to sleep. Hypnosis involves becoming deeply focused while remaining aware of what is happening around you. You are still in control throughout.

In fact, we all experience similar states of focused attention in everyday life – perhaps when you are engrossed in a book, absorbed in a television programme or completely focused on something you are doing.

During a relaxation session, I will guide you into a calm, focused state where you can allow both your mind and body to relax. You are very much the driver – I am simply there to guide you through the process.

Relaxation techniques can also give you useful skills that you can practise for yourself when life starts to feel particularly busy or demanding.
