Anna Hamada Hypnotherapy
Anna Hamada DipCBH - Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist in Cheltenham, Ledbury & Online.
Empowering Yourself Through Hypnosis
Welcome, my name is Anna Hamada and I am a Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist. I help people overcome life’s challenges by integrating the proven techniques of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with the transformative effects of Hypnotherapy.
Empowerment Through Healing: Hypnosis, Mindfulness, and CBT
My focus is on creating a warm safe space where we can work together towards creating positive change in your life by combining the gentle power of Hypnosis and Mindfulness with practical, evidence based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
This proven approach allows us to address such issues as anxiety, stress, insomnia, menopause, unwanted lasting habits or phobias in a way that feels right for you.
My goal is to equip you with knowledge and skills to help you become your own therapist. Together, we’ll uncover your inner strength and resilience, supporting you to move towards a healthier, more authentic and empowered self.
How I Can Help You
I use the powerful approach of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy combined with Hypnotherapy to help you effectively address a wide range of challenges particularly anxiety and stress, performance anxiety (in the arts and sports and also the corporate world, public speaking, presentations and meetings) social anxiety, insomnia, habit reversal and phobias.
My focus is to help you recognise and change negative thought patterns and in so doing, develop healthier thinking and behavioural patterns. Understanding the relationship between your feelings (emotions), thoughts (cognitions) and behaviours and how each one influences the other, combined with using the power of your imagination through Hypnosis, can be hugely freeing and self empowering.
Together, we'll work on practical solutions and achievable goals, enabling you to actively make conscious changes in your everyday life. I concentrate on practical techniques and skills training for building long lasting changes and self empowerment. This transformative process not only addresses specific issues but also equips you with the tools to continually improve your overall well-being and quality of life.
What is Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy?
Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic approach that combines the evidence-based techniques of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy with Hypnotherapy to help change negative thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It integrates cognitive and behavioural techniques with the relaxed focus and enhanced suggestibility of Hypnosis to create lasting positive changes more quickly and effectively than some traditional therapies.
Forget about any misconceptions you may have about being in a trance state or losing control or awareness, you are fully aware and in control at all times. Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy helps you connect to your inner resources and strengths. Through Hypnosis, you'll learn to achieve a deeply relaxed yet alert condition, maintaining complete awareness and control. This focused relaxation allows us to work with the patterns of thought and behaviour that often operate automatically, outside our immediate awareness. With Hypnotherapy we can use our imaginations to challenge these thought patterns and expectations.
What sets Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy apart is its effectiveness and emphasis on empowerment. It's a practical, goal-oriented approach that equips you with tools and techniques you can apply in every aspect of your life, long after our sessions have ended. The ultimate aim is to empower you to be your own therapist, confident in your ability to maintain the changes made and to manage challenges independently, rather than being dependent on ongoing therapy.
What is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is a tool used to guide you into a highly focused state of concentration where you are naturally more suggestible and open to positive suggestions and cues in order to make significant changes in your life. not asleep or in a trance but hyper-aware and responsive at all times.
I offer both online sessions globally and across the UK, and in-person sessions in Cheltenham and Ledbury, tailoring our work to your specific needs and goals.
“It is not what happens to you but how you react to it that matters”
Epictetus
How we interpret events, based on our beliefs, preconceived ideas, conditioned thought patterns and expectations causes us the most distress in our lives, not the actual events themselves. Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy focuses on our reactions to these events and the effect they have on our lives in the present moment rather than the events themselves.
While Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy is my primary focus, I also offer two complementary services to support your well-being and personal growth:
