Hypnotherapy in Braintree
Katrina Hughes
About Katrina Hughes
I’m Katrina, a qualified Solution Focused Hypnotherapist with Inspired to Change, based in Braintree, Essex.
I work mostly with adults and I’ve a particular passion for supporting women who are juggling far too much and running on empty. My approach is calm, modern and brain-based. We don’t spend our time picking over the past. Instead, I’ll help you understand what’s actually happening in your brain when anxiety, low mood or self-doubt take hold and then we work forward, in small practical steps, towards how you want to feel.
Most people I see are dealing with anxiety and stress, low mood, overwhelm, poor sleep, low confidence, or a big life change that’s knocked them sideways. Some come for panic, fears, or simply a sense that something needs to shift. Whatever brings you here, you’ll be met with warmth and no judgement and together we’ll find a way forward.
I also work with teenagers and children, so if it’s your son or daughter who’s struggling, please do get in touch.

My Experience
I trained originally as a nursery nurse before moving into building services. These roles taught me patience, care, and how to put people at ease, whatever they’re facing.
As a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist, I work with clients in Braintree and online across a wide range of challenges. I support anxiety and stress, low mood, confidence, sleep, and the big life transitions that knock us off course.
Every person I see is different, so I tailor my approach to suit them. My hypnotherapy approach draws on a solid understanding of how the brain works and what helps it change.
My training has given me a deep grounding in the neuroscience behind anxiety and low mood. I have a real fascination with how much capacity we all have to move forward, whatever we’ve been carrying.

More About Me
My journey into this work comes from both personal experience and a real passion for helping others.
I’ve struggled with low self-esteem and confidence since childhood, so I understand, from the inside, how much anxiety, self-doubt and everyday emotional pressure can affect your life. After years feeling unfulfilled as an administrator, I knew I wanted a career with real purpose. One where I could support and empower people to create positive change.
I’m a working mum of three, navigating perimenopause myself, and that’s given me a deeper empathy for the pressures so many people quietly carry day to day. I’m naturally caring and empathetic, and a strong advocate for women’s wellbeing.
Above all, I want to create a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space where you feel truly heard, so you can build resilience, develop positive coping strategies, and move forward with greater confidence and clarity.
