About us

Based in Troon on Scotland's beautiful west coast, I offer over 25 years of experience from my time in the NHS. I combine advanced clinical training with compassionate, client centred care. I have a passion for guiding individuals to achieve lasting and meaningful change in their lives. I am dedicated to providing a safe and supportive space for my clients to realise their best potential and best possible future outcomes. I am fully qualified and accredited, and  take part in regular supervision and continuing professional development. As part of my continuing professional development, l am currently enrolled in (level 5) advanced hypnotherapy training course. In the UK qualification framework, a level 5 is widely regarded as the professional gold standard for hypnotherapy practice and is the highest  hypnotherapy qualification, Showing a deep commitment to training and practice standards. 

Solution focused hypnotherapy is a gentle yet powerful way to create positive change. Rather than dwelling on the past, this modern approach helps you focus on your strengths, your goals and the steps that move you forward. In  a calm and relaxing state of hypnosis,your mind becomes more open to fresh ideas and healthier patterns. 

I have had many successful experiences helping clients ease their anxiety and let go of unwanted negative thoughts, habits and behaviours and in doing so rebuilding lost confidence and self-esteem. One of its most successful uses is in smoking cessation. By working with the subconscious mind,hypnotherapy helps break old associations with cigarettes,reduce cravings, and strengthen your motivation to quit. For many  the shift feels effortless. 

Solution focused hypnotherapy can also help you gently reframe the way your mind responds to fears and phobias. In a calm and relaxed state,your subconscious learns new, healthier patterns reducing anxiety and replacing fear with calm confidence. Many people find that they can approach situations that once felt overwhelming with a new sense of ease and confidence. 

It gives me great satisfaction to be in a position to be able to empower each individual and give them the tools to cope with the stresses and strains of modern life. 

I truly Love my work as a solution focused hypnotherapist. I am committed to ongoing development through CPD courses,where I learn new approaches to help people more effectively.

Areas of hypnotherapy we 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 we deal with

I believe that change is always possible. As a solution focused hypnotherapist I have supported many clients experiencing anxiety related difficulties, including over thinking,  panic,stress, social anxiety, health anxiety and feelings of being constantly "on edge". Using Solution-focused techniques alongside hypnosis, clients learn how anxiety works in the brain and how to regain a sense of calm control. Many people report feeling lighter, more positive, and more able to manage challenges with clarity and confidence. Solution focused hypnotherapy can also be highly effective for those dealing with symptoms of depression or emotional overwhelm. Sessions are centered on strengths, progress, and achievable goals, helping clients reconnect with hope, motivation, and enjoyment in life again.  

For clients affected by trauma or distressing past experiences,  I provide a safe, supportive and trauma aware approach.  The focus is always on helping clients feel secure, empowered, and back in control at their own pace. Hypnotherapy can reduce the emotional intensity of past events, ease  symptoms such as hypervigilance or intrusive thoughts, and support the nervous system in moving out of survival mode. Many clients described feeling calmer, more grounded and better able to enjoy life again after working together.

Further information

My therapy room is peaceful and  private, I have thoughtfully designed it to create a calm and tranquil atmosphere. It's arranged to feel safe, comfortable, and welcoming, it offers clients a space away from the pressures of everyday life somewhere they can truly,  reflect, and focus on positive change. 

I work in a warm, supportive, and solution focused way, helping clients feel reassured, understood, and empowered throughout the process. I believe that every person already has strengths and abilities within them, and my role is to help clients reconnect with those inner resources so they can move forward with greater confidence, clarity and control. 

My approach places great importance on each client's autonomy and individual goals. Sessions are collaborative, respectful, and tailored to the person sitting in front of me, allowing clients to progress at a pace that feels comfortable for them. I genuinely care about helping people achieve meaningful, lasting improvements in their wellbeing and everyday life.
