Profile

Hypnotherapy is effective in supporting people with phobias, performance anxiety, smoking and weight management to bring about successful change as well as for sport enhancement, health improvement and much more. I also offer courses in empowerment and personal development as well as provide deep relaxation classes to Dundee Maggie's Centre for those with cancer and their carers.

I offer group sessions for stress management, presenting with confidence, smoking cessation and weight management.

Further Information

I studied hypnotherapy with the London College of Clinical Hypnosis through their regional centre in Glasgow. I obtained my certificate in Hypnotherapy in 2004, my Diploma in 2005 and my Practitioner Diploma in 2006. Following on from receiving my diploma I started voluntary work at Maggies Centre in Dundee providing classes in deep relaxation initially fortnightly and then progressing to once a week. These classes still continue so I have first hand experience of working with people who have experienced cancer as well as their family, carers and friends.

Hypnotherapy is usually associated with anxiety, confidence building, phobias, stress management, weight management and smoking cessation. In fact it can be applied in many other areas too such as: pain management, sports achievement, pyschosexual dysfunction, abuse, asthma support, cardiovascular support, child birth, psychogenic infertility, addictions and quite a few more too.

I have attended master classes in a number of disciplines related to health such as Neuroimmunology (how our thoughts affect our health) and very similarly Symptom Interpretation (how our emotions impact our health). These are useful when individuals wish to go deeper into resolving longer term issues to assist in the healing process or just wish to bring about an improvement in their health. I offer one to one empowerment sessions over a number of sessions based on the use of archetypes. This is quite a fun way to focus on some of the things you have wanted to achieve in life. Additionally I offer personal development courses for individuals in a group setting. In effect hypnotherapy can be used for life, sport and work.
