Profile

Hi, I'm a fully qualified Hypnotherapist and Advanced NLP practitioner. I run a busy practice from Thames Valley Clinic in Caversham and The Rosedale Clinic in Central Reading. Both clinics offer you a private and confidential environment to overcome the issues you are facing. My aim is to ensure you have a positive experience of therapy with me and that you make the changes in your life that you require.

I offer a free Initial Consultation because I feel that it is important that you feel comfortable with me as your therapist and that I can establish a deeper understanding of you and the problems you are experiencing. I can then decide on a therapy plan that is right for you and the changes that you want to make.

I am a member of the Association for Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy (APHP) which means that I am fully qualified and follow a strict code of conduct and ethics.

I specialize in Stopping Smoking and have devised a one session Stop Smoking programme that I have been running for many years with a very high success rate. I address the reasons why you started smoking, the reasons you have continued to smoke (be that as a stress relief, comfort, break from environment, habit etc) and then the reasons why you want to stop now. When each session is tailored in this way and with powerful hypnotherapy suggestions each client finds it easy to leave as a non smoker. I run this programme in large companies to help staff to stop smoking too (please contact me if you think your company may be interested in this)

I am also passionate about Weight Issues and the effects that this has on a persons confidence, self belief, health, relationships and future plans. I help the client to look more closer at the reasons why they eat certain foods and the emotions that drive these decisions. Uncovering the emotional drivers and establishing a healthier relationship with food and above all with yourself has helped hundreds of clients to be slimmer, healthier and happier.

Stress, Anxiety and Panic Attacks is another area that I deal a lot in. Of course in the world at the moment with the high pressures of our careers, finances and family life this is something I help a lot of clients to deal with and overcome.

Other areas that I deal in helping people overcome, and change are:

Insomnia - When you have difficulty getting off to sleep of staying asleep.
Feeling Low - Feeling sad, crying, can't see the point in life
Habits - nail biting, hair pulling, and anything that you cant seem to stop doing.
Relationships - Jealousy, coming to terms with the end of a relationship or breaking up.
Alcohol and drug addictions
Fears and Phobias- Spiders to dentist nerves and everything else
Public Speaking - nerves stopping you from promotions or progressing in work
Best Man nerves - anxiety that will spoil the big day
Exam Nerves - having issues with concentration, retaining information and recall. Anxiety over being tested.
Fear of Flying - Feeling out of control, enclosed, high up. Fear holding you back.
Low Self Esteem - effecting relationships, friendships, life choices
Confidence Issues - Self image, self belief and future achievements
Driving Test

If you are struggling with something that isn't on this list it does not mean I do not have the experience to help you. There are so many areas that myself and hypnotherapy can help you with that it is impossible to state them all. Please call me on 0118 9471749 to talk in confidence about what you would like help with.

Training, Qualifications & Experience

I qualified in 2006 as a Hypnotherapist after studying with The Royal Berkshire College of Clinical Hypnotherapy obtaining a diploma in Hypnotherapy, Hypnoanalysis and Psychotherapy.

I am a member of The Association of Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy APHP. As part of the requirements of being a member I have to regularly attend courses and continue my professional development. I was awarded by the APHP as the 'Most Outstanding Newcomer to the Profession' in 2006

I trained in Neuro-Linguistic Programming NLP in 2007 and combine this within my hypnotherapy practice. I use the NLP techniques within hypnosis which I find to be even more powerful.

I have qualifications in Hypnobirthing, working with Depression and Self Harm. I have trained in alcohol and substance abuse and as part of my association with my governing body (APHP) I have to undertake yearly continued professional development to keep my qualifications and experience up to date.
