About Me
How are you, really?
Does it sometimes feel like you are having to put on a brave face while your inner world feels fragile at best? Are you trying to navigate the challenges of your workplace while vying for a promotion and also trying to navigate a difficult time in your marriage, with your children or life in general? Top that with living in a big city like London, perhaps away form family and help, and the stressors easily multiply.
I understand firsthand the challenges and strains of life, especially in fast paced environments, having spent 16 years in consulting myself. My journey through these experiences has equipped me with a unique perspective and a deep empathy for those facing similar struggles.
About me
Hey there, so nice to meet you. My name is Chinmai Gupta and I am a Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist and Leadership trainer, mentor and coach. I have completely transformed my own way of thinking, of reacting to situations, people, stress and anxiety using the tools that I have. I have got rid of my negative thought spirals e.g. health related anxiety and misophonia, where certain sounds like chewing sounds trigger strong negative emotional responses. As you can imagine, I am now extremely passionate about the transformational benefits of my therapies and I take great pride in the work I do.
I have always been an empath and understanding what causes people physical or psychological pain and finding ways to eliminate it from their lives gives me a great sense of purpose and achievement. I had the opportunity to train as a therapist after spending 16 years in consulting. My career allowed me to work with and serve several industries, including publishing, insurance, sport, recruitment, charities and retail. I saw how hard it was for people across the board to nurture their families and relationships along with stressful 10 hour jobs and commute. People felt stressed out, frustrated and less confident.
My true passion has always been to touch lives in a meaningful and positive way and my practice helps me do just that. Everything I do is evidence based and backed by science.
My approach
Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy is a combination of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and evidenced based Clinical Hypnotherapy. This is a unique approach to therapy and has a powerful and lasting impact on clients. I further integrate Person Centred Therapy, Somatic Work, Parts Work, Inner Child Work, Gestalt work, Self Hypnosis and Mindfulness techniques into my practice making the sessions interesting and effective.
Hypnotherapy
Hypnosis is a highly effective way to make positive and lasting changes in your life. The methods I use are evidence-based and are particularly effective in treating problems relating to stress and anxiety.
Our thoughts have a powerful affect on our body. Think about the time your heart skips a beat when you see someone stand at the edge of a cliff or when someone cuts across a queue. We can use this mind-body connection to our advantage and through the power of suggestion, achieve incredible results.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a talking therapy that can help you manage your problems by changing the way you think and behave. It is based on the concept that your thoughts, feelings, physical sensations and actions are interconnected, and that changing one can transform the rest.
Unlike many other approaches to therapy, CBT deals with your current problems, rather than focusing on issues from your past. It gives you practical ways to improve your state of mind on a daily basis.
