# Laura Abba Cognitive Hypnotherapy & Mindset Coaching

Laura Abba is a cognitive hypnotherapist and mindset coach based in South Croydon, specialising in evidence-based solutions for anxiety, gut-related conditions and confidence issues. She works with clients experiencing panic attacks, phobias, birth-related trauma and IBS through a combination of hypnotherapy and cognitive techniques that address the gut-brain connection.

What sets Laura apart is her dual expertise in clinical hypnotherapy and the physiological link between mental wellbeing and gastrointestinal health. Rather than offering generic stress management, she targets the root causes of anxiety and gut dysfunction using gut-directed hypnotherapy—a scientifically-recognised approach for conditions like IBS and ulcerative colitis. Her specialisation in birth trauma and hypnobirthing, particularly for women with tokophobia (fear of childbirth) and those planning VBACs, demonstrates her ability to work with highly specific, emotionally complex conditions.

As a member of Anxiety UK, Laura brings credible expertise to anxiety management, moving beyond surface-level relaxation techniques to create lasting behavioural and psychological change. Her mindset coaching complements the hypnotherapy work, ensuring clients develop sustainable confidence and resilience. The free consultation offering removes barriers to engagement, allowing prospective clients to assess whether her approach suits their needs without financial commitment. This client-centred approach, combined with her niche specialisms and evidence-based methods, makes her practice particularly valuable for those seeking targeted, professional support rather than general wellness services.
