Laurie Harvey
Cognitive Hypnotherapist
HPD DipCHyp MNLP MNCH (Reg.)
I’m Laurie Harvey, a qualified Cognitive Hypnotherapist based in Godalming, Surrey. I provide professional, evidence-based hypnotherapy to support adults with anxiety, stress, low confidence, sleep difficulties and unwanted habits.
My approach is calm, compassionate and tailored to you, helping you understand what’s driving the issue and create meaningful, lasting change.
As a Cognitive Hypnotherapist and Confidence Expert I’ve studied and continue to study what makes people happy and unhappy.
I’ve learned why people often behave the way they do and how to help people who want to stop doing, thinking and feeling things that have been making them unhappy.
I don’t judge what you should or shouldn’t be doing - you tell me what’s making you unhappy and how you’d prefer to be and together we’ll use the skills I’ve learned to help you to overcome whatever it is that you want to change.​
About Me
Because you don’t know me yet, here’s the list of the important Certificates and Qualifications I have so that you know that I’m properly qualified.
​
I graduated from the prestigious Quest Institute London having gained my Diploma in Cognitive Hypnotherapy, NLP Master Practitioners Certificate and Hypnotherapist Practitioner Diploma which is externally verified by the National Council of Hypnotherapy and accredited by the NCFE.​​
​
As a Member of the National Council of Hypnotherapy I'm fully committed to a programme of continuous Professional Development so I'm also a Certified AMDR Practitioner, Certified EFT Practitioner, Certified Mindfulness Coach, Certified Confident Childbirth Practitioner, Baby Quest Practitioner, Addiction from the Inside Out Coach, and Smoking Cessation Coach - with more than 15 years full-time experience.
​
​
As a member of the Quest Cognitive Hypnotherapy Research Group I’m proud to be involved with the following project:
Over the last few years a group of Quest Trained Cognitive Hypnotherapists and their clients have taken part in a research project. As a result in the September 2015 issue of the Mental Health Review Journal, a peer-reviewed article comparing Quest Cognitive Hypnotherapy with national results for the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) programme suggested that….’QCH may offer a brief effective treatment for clients with clinically significant levels of anxiety and/or depression, widening client choice.'
​
​
This is a wonderful and unique achievement demonstrating the robustness of QCH as a therapy model. In an average of six sessions, 71% reported themselves recovered, compared to 42% of people using other IAPT therapies. Quest is committed to demonstrating effectiveness, one client at a time, and in doing so we believe we are setting the standard in transparency. To our knowledge, this is the only hypnotherapy approach to have been validated in this way.
