About me

How may I help?

Are anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, or unwanted habits holding you back? We may all struggle at some point with issues regarding mental health. These can be debilitating and impact not only on ourselves, but those around us we care about. However, help is available. 

I am a dedicated and compassionate integrative Hypno-psychotherapist. A Registered member of BACP and accredited by the UKCP, with specialist training in clinical hypnosis. I hold an Advanced Diploma in Hypno-Psychotherapy. This qualification is accredited by the UKCP and requires 1800 hours of Master's (Level7) training. This is one of the highest levels of training which any Hypnotherapist or Psychotherapist can undertake in the UK.

 My approach is client-centred and holistic, combining various therapeutic modalities to provide tailored support for each individual. With years of experience in the field, I am committed to helping clients overcome personal challenges, manage stress, and develop resilience through a combination of evidence-based psychotherapy techniques and clinical hypnosis.

I use Clinical Hypnosis, a powerful tool that facilitates deep relaxation and heightened focus, allowing clients to access their subconscious mind in a safe and controlled manner. I incorporate clinical hypnosis to help clients address various issues.

Further to this as an integrative psychotherapist, I draw from multiple psychological theories and therapeutic models, including cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, person-centred therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches. By blending these methodologies, I ensure that therapy is uniquely suited to each client's needs, fostering growth, self-awareness, and emotional well-being.

Whether you’re stuck in old patterns or navigating new stressors, the path to healing doesn’t have to be walked alone. With a personalised, compassionate approach, I’m here to help you move forward—one step at a time.

With a three-step method tailored to your needs, I combine Psychotherapy, Hypnotherapy, and Counselling to guide and support you effectively:

• Understanding your specific needs

• Developing a personalised approach

• Working with you to achieve lasting progress

I offer appointments 7 days a week Evening appointments (Monday - Friday) and all day availability (Saturday and Sunday)

I provide in-Person Appointments from my practice in Selston (Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire)

I offer Online Sessions via secure Zoom video

Evening & Weekend appointments are availabile to suit any busy schedules

Self-referrals, GP, and Occupational Health Referrals are welcome

 I am a recognised mental health care provider with AXA, Vitality, and Aviva.

We will work collaboratively to explore your concerns and develop practical strategies for change. Whether through traditional talk therapy or guided hypnosis sessions, I aim to empower you with the tools needed for personal transformation. My therapeutic style is warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental, ensuring that you feel safe and supported throughout the process.

I offer therapy for individuals from diverse backgrounds and age groups. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, or simply seeking personal growth, I am here to support you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery.
