About me
I'm a Solution Focused Clinical Hypnotherapist based in Stroud and Cirencester helping people overcome anxiety, stress, phobias, weight issues and unwanted habits such as smoking.
For 15 years I have worked full-time as clinical hypnotherapist helping hundreds of clients create lasting change using solution focused hypnotherapy, CBT-informed techniques and neuroscience based approaches.
I offer sessions in Stroud, Cirencester and from the comfort of your own home with online hypnotherapy sessions.
Training, qualifications & experience
Since qualifying with the the renowned Clifton Practice (CPHT) in 2011, I have dedicated my career to the clinical application of Solution Focused Hypnotherapy. My commitment to excellence led me to become Senior Lecturer for several CPHT schools and become a qualified Hypnotherapy Supervisor. This means I don't just practice these techniques I train and mentor the next generation of therapists. Most recently my "services to Solution Focused Hypnotherapy" were recognised by being awarded fellowship status of the AfSFH.
Clinical Experience
Working in hypnotherapy full time since 2011, I maintain busy practices in Stroud, Cirencester and online. Maintaining a busy practice over the years keeps clinical skills sharp and brings a high level of intuition and real world experience to every session. In addition this depth of experience means I have likely encountered and helped resolve challenges very much like yours many times before. I offer a specialised and professional service for a wide range of conditions, including:
- Anxiety and Mood: GAD, Low Mood, Panic Attacks and Health Anxiety
- Performance: Confidence and peak performance (or overcoming past failures) in sports, work, music...
- Compulsions and Habits: OCD, Binge eating, Weight Management and Addictions
- Physical Wellbeing: IBS and stress-related symptoms.
- Phobias: Fear of flying, spiders, needles and dental anxiety
Next Steps:
- Contact me to arrange a free 15 minute call over the phone
- Book an Initial Consultation (IC) in either Cirencester, Stroud or online
- Book further sessions either face to face or online - most clients have 8-12 sessions but the number you have is up to you
Member organisations
The National Council for Hypnotherapy holds one of the largest registers of independent Hypnotherapists in the United Kingdom and strives to maintain the highest standards among its members. There is an agreed Code of Conduct, an established Complaints & Disciplinary Procedure and all members are obliged to maintain comprehensive Public Liability & Professional Indemnity Insurance, maintain regular CPD (continuing professional development) hours, and attend Supervision when needed.
The CNHC encompasses many types of alternative therapy, including hypnotherapy.
In order to be admitted to the register a practitioner must have studied to the National Occupational Standards for that profession/discipline, or have reached the equivalent of the National Occupational Standards through other relevant training or at least three years of experience and been assessed by their peers.
A practitioner must also have professional insurance and agree to abide by the CNHC Code of Conduct, Performance and Ethics.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
Areas of hypnotherapy I deal with
info Information about health conditions (*)
Hypnotherapy can enhance the well-being of individuals diagnosed with serious medical conditions, but should not take the place of medical treatment and advice. If you have been diagnosed with - or suspect you may have - any of these conditions, please speak to your doctor before starting hypnotherapy.

Further information
I have in recent months had to restrict the number of clients I see due my increasing Hypnotherapy Lecturing commitments. Owner of the Stroud Hypnotherapy Practice (based at the Cotswold Health Centre) I see clients there on Wednesdays. I also work from the Cirencester Hypnotherapy and Health Centre on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Each Clinic provides a comfortable, friendly and professional environment from which to work and allows me to offer a flexible appointment timetable. Evening appointments are available subject to availability. I can also see clients for Quit Smoking Appointments in Stroud on Saturdays.
I am a member of the NCH, AfSFH and the CNHC.
