For the moments you feel anxious, overwhelmed, and not quite yourself
Helping you feel like yourself again
Gentle, integrative support for a calmer, more balanced mind and body, especially during times of hormonal change
Hypno CBT Norwich
Hi, I'm Laura.
I help women retrain their stress response using approaches that support the nervous system. I also specialise in supporting women with the more sudden form of anxiety that can arise during times of hormonal change. Many of the women I work with say they don’t feel like themselves anymore, or that what used to help just isn’t working. You’re not alone in that, and things can begin to feel easier with the right support.
My approach brings together a background in genetics (PhD), psychology (MSc), Lifestyle Medicine, and CBT hypnotherapy, alongside holistic, mind–body approaches. I work in an integrative way to help you understand what’s happening and gently find your way back to feeling more like yourself again.
Anxiety Therapy in Norwich & Online
You might be experiencing:
- Busy thoughts or difficulty switching off
- Feeling tense, restless, or on edge most of the time
- Sleep difficulties or a busy mind at night
- Worry that feels hard to control or step away from
- Avoiding situations that used to feel manageable
I work with mild to moderate anxiety and will always guide you to the right support if you need something more specialist.
What changes when anxiety begins to shift...
When anxiety starts to settle, people often notice:
- A quieter, less reactive mind
- An ability to pause and choose not to worry
- More emotional steadiness in daily life
- Improved sleep and physical relaxation
- Greater confidence in handling situations
- A stronger sense of feeling like yourself again
The goal isn’t to eliminate anxiety completely—it is to change your relationship with it, so you are calmer, more in control and enjoy life more.

How I work
My approach is integrative, meaning we look at your wellbeing as a whole rather than focusing on just one aspect.
I draw on a range of psychological approaches, including cognitive and behavioural techniques, acceptance and mindfulness-based tools, and hypnotherapy where appropriate. Alongside this, I may offer gentle lifestyle guidance—such as support around nutrition, daily habits, and nervous system regulation.
Rather than applying a fixed method, I adapt our work to what feels most helpful for you—supporting you to better understand what’s happening and find ways to feel more steady, calm, and in control.
What is a 1:1 therapy session?
A session is a calm, confidential space where you can talk through what’s been feeling difficult and begin to make sense of what’s going on.
We’ll gently explore what you’ve been experiencing day to day—how it’s affecting your thoughts, emotions, and physical wellbeing. From there, I’ll guide the session at a pace that feels comfortable for you, helping you feel more grounded and clear.
Where helpful, I may introduce simple tools or techniques to support anxiety regulation, emotional balance, and a greater sense of calm.
Sessions last 50 minutes and cost £60.
Packages of 4 sessions are available at £200.
We can also begin with a free 15-minute introductory call to see if this feels like the right fit.
What is CBT hypnotherapy?
CBT hypnotherapy combines elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with guided hypnosis and relaxation techniques. CBT focuses on understanding the thoughts, patterns and behaviours that may be contributing to anxiety or emotional overwhelm, while hypnosis can help support relaxation, nervous system regulation and deeper emotional change. For most people this is more effective than CBT alone. Together, they can provide a calm, supportive approach for working with anxiety, stress, confidence and emotional wellbeing.
What is lifestyle medicine?
Lifestyle medicine is an evidence-based approach that focuses on how everyday factors such as sleep, stress, nutrition, movement, social connection and nervous system regulation can have a powerful impact on both mental and physical health. Emerging research in genetics and epigenetics — the area of genetics exploring how lifestyle and environment influence the way genes are expressed — suggests that people often underestimate how much influence they can have over their long-term health and wellbeing. While medical treatments can play an important role, lifestyle changes can also significantly support recovery, resilience and, in some cases, help improve or even reverse aspects of chronic disease.
Why this combination?
Lifestyle medicine is at the cutting edge of helping us decide 'what to do' to feel better for our unique personal situation, but the reality is that making lifestyle changes is hard work, and psychological approaches including CBT and hypnotherapy can help a lot with that, and to help us feel better too.
