About me

About me and my aPPROACH

I am an experienced Clinical Hypnotherapist based in Harrogate, North Yorkshire.

Carla Marcos López

Hello and welcome to my website. Please let me introduce myself. My name is Carla Marcos HPD, DSFH, MNCH (Reg.), MAfSFH, MCNHC. I was born and brought up in Barcelona, Spain, and now live in beautiful Harrogate, North Yorkshire.


After a career as a lawyer working for the pharmaceutical industry I decided to retrain as a Clinical Hypnotherapist. I come from a family of mental health professionals and I have always been interested in the study of the human mind and behaviour.


I practise Solution Focused Hypnotherapy because it is a modern psychotherapeutic approach and I believe it is the best tool to help people make significant positive changes in their lives in a relatively short period of time. It can also be a pleasant experience because Solution Focused Hypnotherapy combines psychotherapy with hypnosis (or ‘trance’). Whilst in a trance state our minds relax, and can focus on thoughts and suggestions that can be extremely beneficial. I get great satisfaction from seeing my clients improve their state of mind, overcome their difficulties, and start to enjoy life in ways they never thought possible.


I am based in Harrogate (North Yorkshire, UK) and I offer online hypnotherapy sessions to clients in the UK and globally via Zoom. I am fully insured, supervised, GDPR compliant and registered with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), DBS checked (enhanced DBS check for working with children and vulnerable adults), and a member of the National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH), the Association for Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (AfSFH), and the Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC).


As well as English, I can also speak Spanish, Catalan, and French. At the moment, I conduct my sessions in either English or Spanish.

My approach

I believe that although we humans share a lot in common, everybody has a unique point of balance. What enables some people to achieve their balance can differ from others, depending on personality and circumstances. Nevertheless, everybody is able to achieve their particular point of balance. I help my clients to find their unique balance, and once they do, this has a ripple effect, often expanding into other areas of their life, and having a positive effect in those around them.


Being also a qualified nurse, my delivery as a hypnotherapist combines my knowledge of how the mind works with a caring and holistic approach that takes into account the interconnection of the body and mind. This, taken together with my lawyer’s solution-focused approach, drives my enthusiasm to work with my clients to help them achieve their goals so that they can live their best life.


I very much look forward to hearing from you and being able to help you find your unique balance.
