# Louise Smalley Cognitive Hypnotherapy

Louise Smalley is a London-based cognitive hypnotherapist specialising in evidence-based solution-focused therapy for adults and children. Drawing on twelve years of experience as a dental nurse at Guy's Hospital, where she first encountered hypnotherapy, Louise now offers a unique blend of clinical knowledge and therapeutic expertise.

She treats anxiety, depression, phobias, low confidence, weight management, smoking cessation, fertility issues, panic attacks and bedwetting through cognitive hypnotherapy—a brief therapy that works with both conscious and unconscious mind to identify and resolve negative patterns. Unlike stage hypnosis misconceptions, clients remain fully aware and in control during sessions, with trance states used to increase receptiveness to positive suggestion.

Louise trained at the prestigious Quest Institute in London under Trevor Silvester and holds the nationally accredited Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma (HPD), the UK's first recognised hypnotherapy qualification. She is also a master practitioner of NLP, fully insured and CRB checked.

What sets her apart is her personal experience with anxiety and stress, which motivated her training and allows her to deeply understand client struggles. Testimonials highlight her warm, calm manner and ability to address root issues efficiently—clients report transformative results in just two sessions. Her dual background combining dental healthcare with therapeutic training creates a reassuring, professional environment for those seeking lasting change.
