Be Your Catalyst

Clinical Hypnotherapist | NLP Practitioner

Meaningful change begins within

I’m Paula, a Clinical Hypnotherapist and NLP Practitioner with a strong interest in what helps people create change and move forward.

Through Be Your Catalyst, I work with adults who want something to be different. You may know what’s holding you back, or you may simply know that where you are now isn’t where you want to stay.

My approach is warm, supportive and shaped around you. While past experiences can be relevant, my focus is on where you are now, what you want to be different and where you’d like to go next.

My work draws on Clinical Hypnotherapy and NLP, alongside wider training and experience in coaching, communication and mind-body approaches. There is no one-size-fits-all approach. How we work together is guided by you, your goals and what matters to you.

People may come to me looking for support with anxiety, everyday stress and overthinking, confidence and self-esteem, unwanted habits, fears, motivation, stopping smoking or vaping, or navigating personal or professional change.

A question at the heart of how I work is:

What do you want instead?

Training and experience

My professional background has consistently focused on people, change and problem-solving. My interest in how we think, communicate and create change led me to first train as an NLP Practitioner around 20 years ago. The skills and insights I gained have stayed with me and have been valuable both personally and throughout my professional life.

Over the years, I worked across adult social care, training, business systems and organisational change. Across these different roles, listening carefully, asking meaningful questions, understanding different perspectives and identifying what may be getting in the way were all an important part of how I worked.

My continued interest in people and change led me to train in Clinical Hypnotherapy, qualifying in 2023. Since then, I have continued to develop my practice through ongoing training and professional development.

My qualifications and professional development include Clinical Hypnotherapy, Certified Hypnotherapist – International Alliance of Professional Complementary Practitioners (IAPCP), NLP Practitioner, and ongoing development in hypnotherapy, NLP, communication and mind-body approaches.

My main service pathways are Bespoke Hypnotherapy and Smoking & Vape Cessation. Within my bespoke work, the broader areas I support include:

• Stress, anxiety and overthinking
• Confidence, self-esteem and self-belief
• Fears and phobias
• Unwanted habits and behaviours
• Weight and wellbeing
• Sleep and relaxation
• Motivation and procrastination
• Performance
• Life changes, relationships and emotional wellbeing
• Personal development and resilience

I am a member of BAThH and am fully insured.

Behavioural change for people who look fine on paper

Most people who come to me are doing well. Good career, good reputation, the life that reads well from the outside. What brings them in is the gap between that and how it feels underneath. The same situations that keep repeating. A reaction they cannot talk themselves out of. The sense that something is running them that they did not choose.

That is the work. Not managing it or coping better, but finding the pattern underneath and changing it at the root.

I work with private clients and with senior leaders and executives. The presenting issue varies (anxiety, a stuck response, performance under pressure, something from years back that still has its grip) but the approach is the same. Much of my training is in reading behaviour and what sits beneath what people say, so I work from what is actually happening in front of me and build the session around that, rather than running you through a fixed script.

The toolkit is broad: clinical hypnotherapy, EMDR, CBT, EFT, NLP, and gut health and stress testing where the body is part of the picture. I do not lead with technique names because they are not the point. The point is what changes, and whether it holds.

I practise from a private room in Harrietsham, Kent, from 10 Harley Street in London, and online. First sessions run to two hours, so there is room to do real work rather than just take a history.
