About me
Please, note due to COVID-19, I now also offer sessions via Skype or Zoom.
I have over 30 yrs of experience working in the medical profession and understand the strong mind-body connection and the impact it has on our health and well-being. Over the last 5 years I have concentrated on the management of chronic pain, and still work on the NHS in this speciality. I offer short courses in the management of chronic pain on a 1 to 1 basis, or in small groups.
I see each client as a unique individual, with a unique set of circumstances. So with your help, together, we develop a treatment plan around your own specific needs. I integrate Hypnotherapy with a range of therapeutic techniques tailored to you. These include Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Matrix Reimprinting, Mindfulness and working with our Human Givens. I also teach skills to enable you to feel more empowered and in control of your life. I offer packages of care, as, by offering this, I find that clients are more committed and so get better results.
I qualified from Southampton Medical School in 1987. Early on in my career I took a sabbatical to study a variety of dance forms and qualified as a classical ballet teacher. It was during this time that I decided to go in to Sports Medicine and Musculoskeletal Medicine. I have worked in Rheumatology on the NHS, and spent 8 yrs working for the Army in a musculoskeletal / sports injury unit. I currently work one day a week in the Musculoskeletal Department at the Royal London Hospital for Integrated Medicine.
I soon realised the strong mind-body link when I noticed how patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis with a positive outlook did so much better than those who didn't. Over the years, dealing with patients who had pain and disability, I have become more aware of the profound influence of pain on psychological issues and vice versa. This drew me to studying Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy.
Having seen and personally experienced the positive effects Hypnotherapy may have on a variety of physical and psychological issues, and general well-being, I am passionate about its benefits. The mind has a strong impact on our body and health. By improving what goes on in our minds we can improve both our physical and emotional health.
I provide a holistic approach to therapy, that we all require a balanced life style to make the most of ourselves and our lives. I not only look at areas such as diet, exercise and sleep but also assess whether all the innate needs are being fulfilled. If life seems to be rather a bumpy ride then it is more than likely that some of the innate needs are not being met.
I have a particular affinity for the performing arts, and empathy for the sports person, being a keen dancer myself, and playing in an amateur orchestra.
Some of the areas I deal with are:
Chronic pain.
Improving confidence.
Fears and phobias.
Habits.
Insomnia.
Pain control and illness.
Quit smoking
Weight loss, using hypno gastric band, if requested.
Stress and anxiety.
Loss and grief.
Improve performance.
Depression.
