About Me

I am Caroline. G. Silvestre and I am a certified Hypnotherapist.

Having had a full decade in an executive career, I finally realised what I really wanted to do and embarked on a new path. I now do what I love, and I believe each of us deserve to live in peace and aligned with our values.

I am a graduate member of the British Psychological Society, the General Hypnotherapy Register, and of the National Hypnotherapy Society.

"When you're in a vulnerable position, you want to be sure that you're in the hands of someone who is professional and who really cares. These two things don't often go together. Caroline made me feel absolutely safe and supported from the get-go and I found our session immediately effective. She promised that I would have some techniques I could take away and use by myself and that's exactly what happened. It took some days to realise that a weight had been lifted, and I am now looking forward to exploring what I can do with my time now I'm not battling with anxiety. I cannot recommend Caroline too highly."

How does Hypnotherapy work?

If you are looking for new and creative ways to deal with persistent problems, here is something worth a try.

Hypnotherapy is a type of talking therapy that uses hypnosis amongst other methods to facilitate focus and relaxation, which allow for clarity and understanding.

All hypnosis is self-hypnosis and no one can make someone do anything they don’t want to do.

Instead, a person will willingly follow suggestions that feel right for them – there is no mind control.

You are a good fit for hypnotherapy when:

You are ready to accept new ideas and experiment new ways of thinking and behaving.
You want some time and space for yourself with an experienced listener who can help you feel calm while exploring your options.

I’m here to offer a safe and allowing space where you can confidently chart your path ahead. Together, we’ll create an environment conducive to your growth and discovery.

How does Hypnosis work?

Hypnosis is a natural process that happens all the time. When we internalise a belief, such as “I will never [sleep, be fit, be happy, be in a relationship, be healthy, etc…]” we are hypnotised.

Hypnotherapy help you step out of those deep-seated ideas that have been limiting your options. We are taking control of a process that happens all the time.

Therefore, in hypnotherapy, you are taking back control, not giving it away.

Who benefits from hypnosis?

Those who approach it with curiosity, openness, and a willingness to try something new. It only works if you want it to work, and if it feels right – which is why delivery is important as well. My job is to provide a safe space and a treatment plan tailored to you.

Will I go "under"?

Hypnosis is not magic. It is not mind control. It is just how we normally respond to suggestions if it feels right. Accepting suggestions of relaxation can feel very relaxing, which is why hypnosis is great for stress-relief and sleep, but you are still fully present and aware.

Can hypnosis help with anxiety?

Anxiety is a crippling sensation that awful things may happen. It can be generalised or specific to certain situations and results from a number of psychological processes.

In hypnotherapy, we help you look at the beliefs and thought-chains that cause and maintain anxiety.

Observing your own thoughts and beliefs is only possible when calm and relaxed, which is a state that allows for clarity.

Hypnosis can help with that, but it is only second to the therapist’s presence.

A good therapist will build rapport before moving forward with difficult questions. It will foster patience and understanding, allowing the client to feel comfortable in the process.
