Lorraine McReight Hypnotherapy & CBT:
Hello, I’m Lorraine
I work with smart, capable folk whose overwhelm, overthinking, or self-talk makes life tough. My mission is for them to leave a retreat inspired, empowered, excited, and ready to live their best life.
I’ve a pragmatic, non-judgemental approach. I believe everyone can change, and therapy doesn’t have to be slow or painful.
When you attend a retreat, you are entering ‘Possibility Land’, a place where marvellous shifts can happen!

Why attend a bespoke 3-day Therapy Retreat?
You want:
– To immerse yourself in focused, fast-track tailored to your goals
– To condense weeks or months of individual sessions into 3 days
– Bespoke confidence-boosting sessions with an experienced, results-focused practitioner
– A solo retreat where you can ‘deal with your sh*t’ AND have an amazing break
“From the very first contact, I felt I was in safe hands. Straight talking, no nonsense therapy, coupled with highly effective hypnotherapy; Lorraine is expert at getting to the heart of the issue in order that effective and appropriate solutions can be identified and adopted quickly.” Alli
Who chooses an Intensive Therapy Retreat and why?
– Time-strapped professionals who struggle to commit to weekly therapy appointments
– Clients who want to experience substantial shifts quickly
– Those who want to immerse themselves in dynamic therapy
– Folk who want to combine transformative therapy with a tranquil break in beautiful surroundings
– People who have gained insight from other talking therapies, but not changed their behaviour or responses
“Lorraine skillfully helped me to identify some of the ‘sticking points’ in my life and some areas to work on within the sessions. Extended sessions of 2 hours provided more focused attention, meaning we could cover more, and I felt a real change in a short space in time.” Anna

Evict Your Inner Critic Retreat:
Does praise from work colleagues or bosses make you squirm?
Do you play down your skills or focus on gaps in your knowledge rather than your extensive experience?
Does your ‘not good enough’ narrative prevent you from applying for new posts?
If ‘yes’, you’re probably experiencing Imposter Syndrome, and my Evict Your Inner Critic Retreat is just what you need!
If you want to ditch those demons and own your successes, get in touch to learn more.
“Lorraine is insightful and very effective in her approach. She guided me towards some profound shifts in my mental/emotional state. She has a great selection of tools, and those that she shared with me, I have been able to add to my own ‘toolbox’ to help me work through challenging dynamics and situations.” Rachel
Banish Your Butterflies Retreat:
Does the prospect of public speaking make you queasy?
Have you avoided promotion opportunities due to your fear of presenting?

“I got in touch with Lorraine to help me get over my fear of public speaking. Lorraine was easy to talk to, calming and patient.
I had 4 sessions of hypnotherapy and couldn’t believe the results! I’ve just delivered my first lecture which lasted 3 hours and now plan to do more! This would have been inconceivable a few weeks ago!” Kerry
Fix that Fricking Thing Retreat:
This retreat is totally tailored to your needs.
Previous clients have sought my help with concerns such as moving on from a past relationship, communication challenges with colleagues or partners, setting boundaries to avoid being taken advantage of, falling out of love with their work (or partner), burnout, poor work-life balance, and anxiety-related physical symptoms, but this is not an exhaustive list!
If you’d like to find out if an intensive therapy retreat would meet your needs, get in touch. We can discuss the options in confidence to see what would be best for you.

What my clients say
“I lucked out with Lorraine – she made a big difference to my mindset! We clicked right away and I felt very comfortable. I got alot out of the therapy, but I especially loved the hypnosis and really think it helped with the way I look at things and my reactions. I feel more confident and in control.”
Shana
“I cannot recommend Lorraine highly enough. Her unique blend of hypnotherapy and therapy seemed to completely reset a pattern of thinking that had been previously hard to break. Lorraine is extremely perceptive and understood my problem very quickly. I found her sessions calming and highly effective. I only needed a few short visits to rewire my thoughts and emerge stronger and calmer.”
