Laura Culley Hypnotherapy

I was very independent but then I became ill and had to give up teaching. That then led to me losing my house and I was in a pretty dark place. For a while, I felt very depressed and hopeless and thought that my life would always be that way. To cut a very long story short, I discovered hypnotherapy and started using recordings and self-hypnosis to control my pain and change my thought patterns. It took a while but eventually, the depression started to lift and I began to get my life back again. I fell in love with hypnosis and wanted to use it to help everyone. It felt like a secret that had been hidden and I wanted to share it with all the people I knew that were suffering. I trained as a hypnotherapist and NLP practitioner and started working with friends and family members who were instantly converted, too and just amazed by the power of hypnosis! So, I started my hypnotherapy business and I love every minute of it. I am thankful now that my illness took me down a path I never would have discovered had it not been for the pain, anxiety and depression I was suffering and I can see how it all worked out exactly as it was supposed to, even though I couldn't see that at the time. It has helped me to develop my own empathy and intuition so I can help others who are perhaps in that dark place I once found myself in.

I will do all I can to help you overcome your issue or realise your dream and my main priority is always my client. I will spend our first appointment really getting to know you and helping you to set firm and realistic goals so that we both know where we are heading and have a good idea of what we are working towards. I also make sure I am available to you throughout the course of treatment so that you can get in touch anytime you feel you need some support. I will also keep in contact for a while afterwards just to make sure you are happy and confident in using all the new techniques you will learn from me. My approach is very client-focused and I write a personalised treatment plan based on your individual needs. Most of the techniques I use are tried and tested and have a firm evidence-based foundation.

I trained at one of the country's leading colleges, The Anglo-European College of Therapeutic Hypnosis in Bournemouth and was awarded my Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma by the National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH). This is a very well respected organisation and the HPD is considered the gold standard in hypnotherapy qualifications.

I have a wide range of experience and if you are looking for someone to work with your child or teenager, I believe I among the best qualified in that area.

Having said all of that, one of the most important aspects of therapy is that you feel comfortable and confident confiding in and working with your therapist, so only you can judge whether I am the right therapist for you. I, therefore, offer a free, no obligation, 15-minute consultation by phone or Skype.
