Welcome, and thank you for visiting Rebecca Kat – Clinical & Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy. My name is Becky, and I am a hypnotherapist offering both short and long-term hypnotherapy for children, young people, and adults.
With 15 years of experience supporting children, care-experienced young people, and adults through trauma, I understand how life’s challenges affect well-being. As a young mum at 19, my two boys are now 27 and 21, an empty nest and I’m soon to be a Nan. I’ve been married and divorced, I’ve lived in Reading, Basingstoke, Camberley, Folkestone, Belfast and Plymouth, so I understand military and emergency services life through lived experience.
I have a German Shepherd/Boxer dog, Milo, and we love exploring the Moors.
As a qualified Hypnotherapist, I provide a calm, safe, and non-judgmental space where you can feel heard and understood. My experiences have deepened my empathy, and I’m passionate about helping others create lasting, positive change.
My approach to Clinical and Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy is centred around creating practical, forward-focused solutions that empower you to overcome challenges like anxiety, stress, low mood, PTSD, and unwanted habits such as smoking or vaping. I specialise in Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy, tailoring sessions to suit adults, young people, and children. This gentle yet effective method helps build confidence, improve sleep, and reduce anxiety.
Hypnotherapy works by calming the nervous system and shifting the brain from survival mode to a state of clarity and calm, enabling you to regain control of your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. Whether you're a parent seeking support for your child, a young person struggling with anxiety, or an adult looking to break free from stress, I offer personalised support to help you feel more balanced, confident, and in control of your life.
Trauma isn’t defined by what happened-it’s about how it made you feel. It’s the emotional and physical impact on your sense of safety, control, and well-being. Trauma triggers the body’s “fight, flight, or freeze” response, which can remain active long after the event. Through Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy, I support you in calming your nervous system, releasing emotional pain, and regaining balance.
In Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy, there’s no need to relive or go into detail about your trauma. Unlike traditional therapy, the focus is on where you want to be, not where you’ve been. We work together to calm your nervous system, reduce feelings of fear and overwhelm, and shift your mind from survival mode to a place of clarity and control. This gentle approach allows you to move forward without re-exposing yourself to past pain, making the process safe, supportive, and future-focused.
I also offer clinical hypnotherapy tailored to your individual needs. We can discuss the best approach for you, whether that’s Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy or another method that suits your unique situation. Together, we’ll find the most effective way to help you achieve lasting change and move towards a place of healing and empowerment.
I understand that life is unpredictable, especially for shift workers. That’s why my sessions are flexible, with no set days, times, or contracts required. You can book as and when you need, without having to take holiday or commit to a rigid schedule. Sessions are available in person at my Plymouth practice (Studio 12, 10 Sawrey Street, PL1 3LA) or online via Zoom, so you can access support from wherever you are.
My practice features a beautiful rooftop garden where you can relax before your session, helping you feel grounded and at ease. Whether you prefer the privacy of a therapy room or the fresh air of an open space, you’ll find a welcoming atmosphere designed for your comfort and well-being.
If you’re ready to take control of your well-being, I’m here to help. Book a free 15-minute consultation to see how Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can support you or your loved ones. No contracts, no pressure — just a chance to explore a better way forward.
