About me

Practicing clinical hypnosis since 1999, I specialise in stress management (e.g. reducing anxiety and panic attacks), helping people quit smoking (in one session), phobias (e.g. public speaking), relationship problems, and anger management.

I have written textbooks on mental health, and had around 70 academic papers published in peer-reviewed scientific journals on women's mental health (polycystic ovary syndrome, or PCOS) and men's mental health. 

Sessions are conducted in a safe, friendly and confidential environment. After your free initial consultation, in which we talk about how best to help with your issue, you can decide whether to go ahead with the treatment plan, and usually relatively few sessions are required to achieve lasting successful results. 

I am a member of the British Psychological Society and the British Society of Clinical & Academic Hypnosis. Besides my clinical work I am also an honorary lecturer in Psychology at University College London (UCL).

I have a PhD in Psychology, am a Chartered Psychologist, an Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society.

(Please note that my central London clinic closed due to the covid lockdowns, and has yet to reopen).

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

Specialist knowledge of men's mental health.
