Amanda Walsh takes an Evidence Based Approach: combining the two most powerful and effective psychological therapies namely Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Clinical Hypnotherapy. This integration referred to as Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (CBH), uncovered as one of the most evidence based therapeutic interventions, available today in the field of psychology and psychotherapy.

It is one of the most effective treatments for ANXIETY, STRESS, PANIC ATTACKS, SOCIAL ANXIETY.

CBH used effectively on a vast range of different issues such as SLEEP DIFFICULTIES, cessation of HABITS (smoking, nail biting, hair pulling etc), FEARS AND PHOBIAS; OPTIMISING PERFORMANCE (e.g. public speaking, exams, driving test, sports); building CONFIDENCE and SELF-ESTEEM.

The rationale for including hypnosis…

"Meta-analyses have established that different psychotherapies have different outcomes. Cognitive-behavioural therapies are significantly more effective than psychodynamic therapies, and their superiority increases when long-term follow-up is assessed. Hypnosis enhances the efficacy of both psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioural psychotherapy". (Kirsch, 1996)
