# Northern Skies Hypnotherapy
Northern Skies Hypnotherapy, based in Durham and Newcastle upon Tyne, offers evidence-based hypnotherapy and cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy (Hypno-CBT®) to adults, children and young people struggling with anxiety, stress, chronic pain, phobias and negativity. Led by Peter Dryden, a highly qualified practitioner with a Diploma in Hypno-CBT® and master's degree, the practice combines hypnotherapy with Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), Havening and counselling techniques, all delivered with warmth and genuine empathy.
What sets Northern Skies apart is Peter's substantial clinical background. With over thirty years' experience in the NHS working with adults with learning disabilities and mental health issues, followed by a decade as an Associate Professor at a Northern university, he brings professional rigour and deep human understanding to every session. His commitment to evidence-based practice means only therapeutic interventions with robust empirical support are used.
The practice operates with transparency and authenticity. Peter recognises that anxiety and embarrassment often prevent people from seeking help, so he creates a deliberately non-judgemental, confidential environment. Sessions are available both in-person and via Zoom, making support accessible whether you're local or elsewhere. Crucially, Peter maintains his own clinical supervision and regularly attends Continual Professional Development, ensuring his methods remain current.
Rather than imposing solutions, Peter's philosophy centres on helping clients access the resources they already possess, empowering genuine, lasting change.
