# Dr Cathryn Woodward Hypnotherapy
Dr Cathryn Woodward offers clinical hypnotherapy in Cambridge, combining her extensive medical credentials with specialist training in therapeutic hypnosis. With over 20 years of medical experience as a Consultant Clinical Oncologist, she brings a uniquely informed approach to treating patients through evidence-based hypnotherapy.
She specialises in addressing phobias, anxiety, insomnia, pain relief and menopausal symptoms. A particular area of expertise is supporting cancer patients, helping them manage symptoms related to diagnosis and treatment side effects—an offering rarely found in standard hypnotherapy practices. This positions her as a valuable resource for patients seeking complementary support within their broader cancer care pathway.
Dr Woodward's standing within the British Society of Clinical and Academic Hypnosis (BSCAH), where she serves as Honorary Secretary, underscores her commitment to maintaining rigorous clinical standards and continuing professional development. Her accreditation ensures clients receive treatment aligned with recognised best practice guidelines.
The combination of her medical background, specialist cancer experience and formal hypnotherapy qualification distinguishes her from practitioners without medical training. Patients benefit from someone who understands both conventional medicine and clinical hypnosis, enabling her to work collaboratively with other healthcare providers and tailor treatments appropriately for complex cases.
Based in Cambridge, she offers a professional, medically-grounded alternative to generic hypnotherapy whilst maintaining accessibility through same-day call-back service.
