About Jane Kirkup – Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist in East Grinstead
Hello, I’m Jane a Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist based in East Grinstead, helping people understand what’s holding them back and find a way forward that feels right.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in patterns of anxiety, overthinking, or self-doubt, you’re not alone and change is possible.
I use an integrative approach combining Clinical Hypnotherapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness to support meaningful, sustainable change.
Who I Am
My approach is grounded in both professional training and real-life experience.
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 corporate 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. You'll learn to notice when your inner voice becomes critical and discover how to replace harsh commentary with something kinder, not forced positivity, but real care and understanding.
I work with clients experiencing anxiety, stress, and confidence challenges, both in East Grinstead and online.
If you’d like to explore whether this approach could help you, you’re welcome to get in touch for a free 20-minute discovery call.
