To anyone else doing the back to university drop, you’ve got this!

Did you spot woody at the end?

Have you thought about working with me but you’re not local?
I worked online with this client, so could with you too.

Always grateful for kind words clients share at the end of working together.

Have you been curious about attending one of our Becoming evenings? There are a few tickets still available for Tuesday 1st 7-9pm.

This is how one of our members described it recently:

“Women supporting women. Having the option to share if we want to or just take on the information for our own digestion later. Never been to anything like it and I love it.”

“it's like nothing else l've been to. I usually say it's a mindful therapy group with women supporting women with some meditation and discussions included - never feel like it gives it justice though as it's so much more but I don't know how to put it into words.”

This months theme is boundaries. Why not come along and see what it’s all about.

Continue your Becoming journey with an evening of reflection, connection and space to pause, reconnect and look ahead.

Self care, what are your thoughts?

Good self care should send signals to your nervous system that you are safe.

What do you find works for you?

Imagine sitting back to a meditation that is tailored to you, environments you feel calm in, words and phrases that mean something to you.
Imagining futures that you’d like to experience and live.

All beautifully edited and put to music especially for you. Nothing generic here.

Hi!

I thought I’d do a quick reintroduction post as it’s been such a long time since I’ve posted consistently. (Anyone else?!)

I’m Kate Hickmore, a cognitive hypnotherapist, NLP master practitioner and coach.

Now this is not hypnotherapy as you might expect, there’s no laying down for the whole session while I talk to you, it’s very collaborative.
I have a huge range of evidence based tools from all sorts of disciplines, that I tailor to you. Then I weave in more hypnotic suggestion as we go.

Sometimes I might invite you to close your eyes, but a lot of the time our work together is conversational.

You’ll receive a personalised recording (no generic scripts) that’s tailored to you, how you view the world and where you want to be.
If you’d like a taster of one of these, you can find me on the app Insight Timer, just search my name.

My clients range in age from 18 - 80’s, as do the presenting problems.

I help people who feel stuck, people who are fed up with behaviours that you just can think your way out of.
Anxiety, life transitions, confidence, limiting beliefs…

Sometimes people have tried talking therapy, can really understand themselves, but still can’t quite get themselves out of it. This is where I can help. We move you forward, healing beliefs that have been created along the way to something more beneficial.

Something I say to all new clients is, you will get out what you put in. I can’t do it for you, I just guide the way. I’ll give you things to work on in between sessions, those that do this, are the ones who notice real, lasting change.

I have a beautiful room in Langham, just outside Colchester for face to face sessions, or we can work online if you’re further away.

I’ve fallen off the posting regularly wagon recently. I don’t know about you, but sometimes it feels like another job to do and so I took the pressure off for a while.

Meanwhile, I’ve been busy helping clients, creating a monthly gathering group, and I’ve started some new training.

I’m currently completing level one Relational Life Therapy, couples counselling - but not as you know it!
More to come as I get further into the course.

How have you been?

Every single one of my clients come to me ready to make change to their lives. To do the work. To no longer hold on to old beliefs that aren’t serving them.

And I am so proud of them for it.

I have young people wanting to start their lives with the best possible groundings.

People in transitional periods, divorce, empty nesters, menopause, for example, all navigating a change in identity.

People who have carried the weight that life has thrown at them for long periods of time, decades in some cases.

All ready to heal, grow and live their best lives.

Do the thing that most people don’t.
Be the change you want to see in your world.

Book an initial phone chat with me to start your journey.
