Who I Am
Jane Kirkup
HDip CBH, Dip Stress Mgmt, RYT 200
Certified Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist
& Stress Management Practitioner
I'm a certified Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist with over 20 years of study and practice, bringing together therapeutic expertise with mind-body understanding. Before becoming a full-time therapist, I led teams and coached individuals in the business world. I understand the pressure of juggling too much, the weight of difficult relationships, and what it feels like when life moves at a relentless pace.
Your mind is designed to protect you, but sometimes we become stuck in patterns that no longer serve you - such as harsh self-criticism, constant worry and automatic negative thinking. I don't just address symptoms. Together, we explore the underlying patterns shaping your experience, building genuine resilience from a foundation of self-compassion.
I create a warm, non-judgmental space where you feel truly heard. Through Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy combined with mind-body practices, we work together to create practical, sustainable changes. You'll learn to notice when your inner voice becomes critical, and discover how to replace that harsh commentary with something more supportive - not positive thinking or pretending, but treating yourself with real care and understanding.
Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy:
Strategic Imagination Meets Modern Neuroscience
My approach integrates hypnosis with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, grounded in how your mind actually creates and updates experience. Your brain is a prediction machine, constantly generating expectations based on past experience.
When you're stuck in anxiety, overwhelm, or unhelpful patterns, outdated predictions are running the show.
Through guided imagination and focused attention, we update those predictions. Modern neuroscience confirms that vividly imagining new responses activates the same neural pathways as real experience - your brain treats it as genuine data. I use Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy to support clients with anxiety, stress, sleep issues, and confidence challenges in East Grinstead and online.
We work together as a focused team of two, whether face-to-face in East Grinstead or via video call. You bring your goals and experience. I bring therapeutic expertise, evidence-based methods, and genuine commitment to your growth.
Together, we'll identify what's keeping you stuck, update limiting patterns, and build the lasting change you're seeking. Not through willpower or positive thinking alone, but through deliberate, collaborative work that reshapes how your brain predicts and constructs your experience.
This is change that lasts - because it comes from within.
