My name is Kate Kendall, a fully qualified and insured hypnotherapist working in the Poole area and online across the UK. I specialise in weight loss but can also treat stopping smoking and other addictions, phobias and fears, stopping unwanted habits, dealing with grief, anxiety and stress, low self esteem and low confidence, insomnia, and many other psychologically based issues.
So why choose me as your hypnotherapist? That’s a great question and the answer will be different for each person looking for treatment.
First of all you need to ensure that the hypnotherapist you choose is appropriately trained and qualified. Anyone can practise as a hypnotherapist so it is important that you work with someone that has gone through robust training and holds an appropriate qualification as they can offer a safe pair of hands and an informed approach. My qualifications were obtained following ten months of intensive training with the Anglo European College of Hypnotherapy run by the eminent Adam Eason so I can assure you that I have impeccable credentials. I am also a member of the National Council of Hypnotherapists, having been accredited by them under their Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma. As well as that I am also a qualified NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) practitioner. Having recently qualified also means I can offer the latest techniques and approaches.
You also will want to work with someone that you feel comfortable with and that you trust. My approach is that of someone who is friendly, empathetic, non-judgemental, compassionate, and with a good sense of humour and fun. To me therapy shouldn’t be something that is sombre and angst ridden, it should be uplifting, joyful and a relief from all the worries and old ways of being that were bringing you down or holding you back. I am about pure hypnotherapy, and focusing on helping you to feel better, more in control, and in having a more positive outlook on life.
“Kate is incredibly warm and welcoming, she helped me step on a plane for the first time in 10 years”
There are many approaches to hypnotherapy. My own approach is using that of evidence based, scientifically supported techniques that are proven methods backed up by research studies where possible. My aim is to equip you with the tools and techniques in order for you to no longer need my support and to continue using the skills you learn with me not just for the issue you originally sought treatment for, but to provide you with skills for life that you can adapt to other areas too.
I have come to hypnotherapy later in life than many people. For most of my adult life I have been the bread winner, so my focus for much of it was simply paying the bills, and getting through things. I had a career in financial services which whilst well paid gave me no personal satisfaction or sense of achievement. Now I have reached a time where I feel I can change the course of my life, and do something that I really want to do, and that is helping people, helping you I hope, with whatever issue it is that you want to work on. I would love to help change others lives as hypnotherapy has changed mine, to being a more positive, fulfilled person with much to look forward to, both now and in the future to come.
I am an ex-smoker, have dieted (and fallen off the wagon) for most of my adult life, suffered with IBS, brought up two children through the troublesome teenage years, faced phobias such as a fear of flying, resolved an addiction to candy crush, and am going through the menopause with its physical and mental challenges, so I feel that I can empathise with a wide range of issues. I see working with you very much as a collaboration, working together as a team, with shared goals and a shared understanding, with me supporting you to the point where you are ready to go it alone
On a personal note, I am a mum to 2 grown up kids, a wife, sister, auntie, and mum to 2 fur babies. I live life to the fullest in Poole and enjoy swimming, cycling and the occasional trip out in our motor home when I am not researching or seeing clients.
I look forward to meeting you and helping you on your journey.
