About Me
Rosie Cathro: Professional Hypnotherapist & Life Coach
Hello! I’m Rosie & I'm a fully qualified, insured & accredited Hypnotherapist & Life Coach. I have a BSc Hons Degree in Psychology & use a combination of hypnosis, NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) & coaching to help you achieve your desired goals. Supporting clients to shape their lives the way they truly want them to be is so rewarding & I absolutely love what I do.
I'm a mother to my amazing 2 year old daughter at the time of updating this & she fills me with so much joy. Becoming a mother myself has helped me understand the work I do in greater depth & I'm really grateful for this. I live in West Yorkshire, although I'm originally from Surrey.
Often the work we're meant to be doing finds us & this has certainly been true for me. I first discovered hypnosis when I had some sessions myself partly out of curiosity & partly as I’m someone who is always interested in learning more about myself, working through the different layers of things that come up as we humans go through life & finding ways to bring more balance & fulfilment to my life.
From the very first session, I loved the approach; the whole process felt so natural & I noticed the changes happening really quickly & in a way that felt completely right for me.
The sessions I had were with a wonderful hypnotist who also used to teach counselling for many years. When he found out I had a degree in Psychology & a keen interest in everything I mentioned above, he took me under his wing for a time & mentored me. It was a very informal arrangement but I loved it & learnt so much.
Not long afterwards, he asked whether I’d ever considered training as a hypnotherapist as he thought I’d be a really great match for the profession. Somehow it hadn’t crossed my mind until that point but as soon as he said it I knew it was exactly the right path for me.
​
I went to a taster day for a fantastic training course & was hooked! I signed up to the very next course & completed my training. I loved every minute of it & have continued learning more about hypnosis, people & life ever since & always will.
After seeing clients for some time, I noticed that the people I was working with usually tended to be women who may have come to me initially for support with things like weight loss, anxiety, changing habits etc, but when we zoomed out to looked at the full picture of their lives, things were out of balance & their needs were coming bottom of the list, if at all. I work with my clients to help them overcome both the initial issue & the underlying areas that they are also ready to change.
The great things about hypnosis is that it tends to be a brief therapy. Unlike traditional counselling which can require sessions over months or years, hypnotherapy creates changes quickly & has lasting results. Through hypnosis we get to the heart of the issue quickly & in a way that feels perfectly attuned to you.
One of the things I love most about the work I do is that I can help people reconnect with their own inner power & wisdom. So often we can walk through life thinking everyone else has the answers or when something happens, then we’ll be happy.
But the truth is that happiness & fulfilment starts within us.
Experience has shown me that we all have the answers within us but sometimes need the right coaching & guidance to achieve the changes we want & that’s my role.
I work with compassion as well as a proactive focus that helps us look towards the future, imagine what that might be like & then set about creating it. I tailor my sessions to each client as an individual & provide support on an emotional level as well as providing practical & pragmatic steps so that you can move forward into the life you really want.
If there are changes you’re considering in your own life, I’m always happy to arrange a time to talk you through how I can help & answer any questions you may have.
"Rosie has been a true blessing! I went into my hypnotherapy with an open mind and I'm so glad I did. By allowing myself to truly relax and trust Rosie I have been able to focus on what really matters and made changes that have made a whole world of difference to my every day life. The main reason for wanting to try hypnotherapy was because I felt like I was an emotional-eater and could never stop thinking about my next meal or snack to pass the day by. It was a great starting point but it wasn't the only obstacle we tackled, it just opened the door.
Rosie is so empathetic in what she does, each session she has grown more of an understanding of my needs and each session I've grown to trust her methods implicitly. After 4 sessions I have seen drastic changes in my behaviour and I'm starting to lead the balanced life I've been dreaming about. Don't get me wrong, I still have my bad days but I find I can tackle them head on with a true purpose and I'm back to being 'me' in no time.
I can't thank Rosie enough! She's enabled me to free myself from old habits and worries. With weekly tasks, both physical and mental, I have been able to challenge myself and prove that I can be the person I chose to be. It's ok to say 'no' and it's ok to take time for myself, after all we have to look after number 1. I look forward to continuing the sessions and seeing how they develop as life goes on."
