About me

A little bit about me. I have always, for as long as I can remember, taken a great deal of pleasure in helping people which resulted in me retraining in my late 40s and going to university for the first time eventually graduating with a degree and then a Master of Arts in Personnel Management.
Not long after getting my first role in HR, I also started to work for a well-known weight loss organisation and I did this for five years helping people shed the pounds and seeing them gain in confidence as they did. I know from personal experience just how hard it can be to firstly lose those excess pounds (63 of them in total), but more importantly to keep them off. I am also very well versed in eating disorders having suffered with bulimia since my early 20s but which has been under control following Cognitive Analytical Therapy, so I have real experience that therapy which involves the mind can work.
Keeping fit is also a passion which inspired me when we came out of the first Covid lockdown to start a Couch to 5k running group within the village. This led onto me to eventually running the Loch Ness marathon in 2021, which given I’m in my later years was quite an achievement, but it just goes to show you can do anything if you really put your mind to it! I decided when I crossed the finish line that it would be my last and that I would retire on a personal best!
In 2022 I start to think again how I could help people and read about Solution Focused Hypnotherapy. This just seemed a perfect solution to not only help someone change their life but to also give me an immense sense of satisfaction knowing that I have helped someone change their life for the better.

Additional information
Hypnotherapy is dependent on what the client needs help with therefore I cannot quote on cost until I have spoken to the person concerned. However, I offer varying packages to help you overcome whatever issue it is that you may have and this will be discussed with you during your initial consultation.

I am happy to work with clients either face to face or online, whichever is their preference. For any sessions that are online all that is asked for is a good internet connection to ensure that you get the best out of the session.
