About Me
My background is in Psychology. I have a BA (Hons) in Psychology as well as a Masters Degree in this subject. I am passionate about helping people to make positive changes to their lives. I am a fully trained accredited hypnotherapist and I can provide this service to help with a wide variety of issues, including smoking cessation, weight loss, phobias, anxiety and insomnia. I offer a unique 3 session plan for smoking cessation which has proved to be highly effective and very well received. In addition I offer the Hypnotic Gastric Band for weight loss. This is also done over 3 sessions and is extremely popular with people struggling with their weight who want to feel fuller more quickly.
I offer a holistic approach to therapy, using my skills to work with you to look at the reasons behind the issue or the habits that you want to change, along with bespoke hypnotherapy tailored specifically to your needs.
As well as being a Hypnotherapist I am a fully qualified Psychotherapist and Counsellor, holding a level 5 Professional Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling Practice.
I am fully insured and I am a member of the National Hypnotherapy Society, as well as the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society which are both on the accredited register of the Professional Standards Authority. As a member of these bodies, I am bound by their strict codes of conduct and their ethical guidelines. I take pride in my work and I care about the well-being of my clients. If you are happy then I am happy.

Why Make the Decision to Change?
As human beings we are all naturally scared of change and it makes us feel anxious. Sometimes though, change is essential in order for us to be who we want to be. Life is precious and it is so short. If we are unhappy about any aspect of our lives then it makes sense for us to try and change that aspect in order to reach our full potential for happiness and lead the lives that we deserve. Let me help you to make positive change in your life. You deserve to be happy.
Here are some of the issues and concerns that I can help you with:
- Quit Smoking
- Weight Loss including Hypnotic Gastric Band
- Fears and Phobias
- Anxiety
- Self Confidence and Self Esteem
- Goal Attainment
- Stress
- Insomnia
- Test Fears (eg. Exams or driving test)
- Pain Management
- Habits
- Panic Attacks
- Bereavement
My therapy is always individually tailored to suit you, so if your problem is not listed above then please contact me and I will be happy to help you.
Sessions take place in Rucker’s Lane in Kings Langley, Hertfordshire every day of the week from 10am til late in the evening. Please contact me to see how I can help you. Life is short so make the decision to embrace change today. In the words of George Elliot 'It's never too late to be what you might have been'.
What to Expect During Sessions
In the first half of each hypnotherapy session we will work together to clarify what you want to achieve and explore any obstacles (real or imagined) that may hinder your progress. The information that I gather from this first half of each session is critical as it directly informs the suggestions that I will put into your subconscious. After this I will ask you to recline your chair as much as you feel comfortable with and to start to relax. I will then guide you through some deep breathing exercises and progressive muscle relaxation so that you are ready to be taken into a light hypnotic trance. In this state your subconscious will be able to accept the suggestions that I will give it. You will be in full control at all times. This is not the same as stage hypnotism! You will be extremely relaxed but at all times you will be aware of what is happening and you certainly wont do or say anything that you don't want to do or say. If you happen to be so relaxed that you drift off to sleep then you don't need to worry as your subconscious will still receive the suggestions and the therapy will still work.
What is Hypnotherapy?
Put simply, hypnotherapy is the use of hypnosis in therapy. Hypnosis is a special focusing of the consciousness which can be brought about through relaxation. The experience of hypnosis is more commonplace than we might think – it is indistinguishable from a day dream, of being in 'auto-pilot' when driving down a familiar road, or being so absorbed in a book or a film that you are temporarily unaware of your environment. It is a perfectly natural state in which you have full control at all times. The level of depth of hypnotic state required for hypnotherapy is very light and is achievable of everyone, as long as they are able to relax. This is nothing like the deep trance one might see during hypnosis shows for entertainment. In hypnotherapy you can stop at any time and you will never do or say anything that you don't want to do or say. It is an excellent tool to use if you want to make positive changes in your life, and you want to do so in as little as 3 sessions (e.g. smoking cessation and hypnotic gastric band).

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
I can also offer regression, which can provide useful insights into where a particular habit or phobia began.
