# Helene Smith Cognitive Hypnotherapy

Helene Smith is a cognitive hypnotherapist based in Sheringham, North Norfolk, offering solution-focused therapy to help clients regain control of their lives. She works with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, smoking cessation, weight loss, sleep problems, bereavement and performance nerves, amongst other concerns.

What sets Helene apart is her integrative approach, combining cognitive behavioural therapy with hypnosis and modern neuroscience—drawing on Positive Psychology, Gestalt therapy and Neuro Linguistic Programming. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method, she tailors each treatment to the client's specific needs, creating a flexible, personalised pathway to change.

Her practice emphasises being solution-focused, helping clients identify what they want to achieve and working collaboratively in a safe, confidential environment to make it happen. This approach is particularly effective for those who feel stuck or held back, unable to progress towards their goals despite their efforts.

Helene holds professional qualifications including DipCHyp, HPD and NLPP, and maintains membership with the National Council for Hypnotherapy and the Quality Checking Hypnotherapy Professional Association, demonstrating her commitment to professional standards and ongoing development.

She offers a free 30-minute initial consultation, making it accessible for potential clients to explore whether working together is the right fit before any financial commitment.
