About me

Overcome anxiety, build your confidence, and feel empowered.

I am an experienced Cognitive Hypnotherapist, Master Practitioner in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Wellbeing Coach.

I also have 11 years of experience of helping women overcome pregnancy and birth anxiety. This includes helping mums overcome previous birth trauma and teaching hypnobirthing/birth preparation courses. 

A complimentary discovery call:

To make sure my approach is right for you, I offer you a free phone consultation with no obligation. We can discuss what you need and how we might work together.

Working together in a tailored way:

I offer different options of working together including programmes which are tailored to your specific needs. 

Working over several sessions is the most effective way of creating long lasting and generative change. Together, we will resolve the underlying emotional issues and limiting beliefs so you can feel able to create more positive changes in your life.

Most clients notice positive differences from our first session.

Areas of hypnotherapy I deal with

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.

Other areas of hypnotherapy I deal with

Please note I do not work with alcohol issues or under 18s

Additional information

Therapy is an investment in you and your future. Clients are often surprised that in just a few sessions they are able to feel better and to overcome problems which they might have lived with for many years.

Packages are available and I ask most clients to commit to at least 4 sessions so we can work through a personalised treatment plan. However, as I know it's important to make sure an approach is right for you, I offer an initial 90 minute session to start the process and introduce you to how it can work for you. 

Hypnobirthing packages are available for different budget levels. Contact me for details.

Key details

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Hypnotherapist's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Hypnotherapist to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.

Contact me for details if you need accessibility details. We have a ramp available in Reading but not in Wokingham at the moment.
