About me
Hi, I'm Angela.
If you've found yourself going round in the same circles, sensing that something needs to shift but not quite knowing how to make it happen, you're in the right place.
Perhaps some of this feels familiar:
- Anxiety that's become a constant background noise
- A habit you keep meaning to break
- Confidence that's taken a knock
- A mind that simply won't quieten when you need it to
- A difficult relationship with food or your weight
- Stress, chronic pain, IBS, or the toll of an illness that doesn't show up on the outside
Whatever's brought you here, you don't have to keep managing it alone.
My approach to hypnotherapy is solution-focused, which means our sessions aren't about revisiting everything that's gone wrong. We spend our time looking at where you want to get to, and we start building toward that from the very first session.
What would it feel like to be on the other side of this?
Calmer. Clearer. More like yourself. Not through willpower or forcing a change, but because something has genuinely shifted beneath the surface.
That's what hypnotherapy is designed to help you do.
How hypnotherapy works
What keeps most people stuck isn't a lack of effort, it's patterns that have been running quietly in the background, often for years. Hypnotherapy works directly with those patterns, creating change at a deeper level without needing to analyse the past in detail.
Sessions combine gentle, focused conversation with guided hypnosis. The work stays calm, practical, and forward-moving throughout, and you remain fully aware and in control at every stage.
What you might notice
Many clients describe a sense of relief early on. As the focus shifts from problems to possibilities, things often begin to feel lighter, clearer, and more manageable, sometimes sooner than expected.
The goal isn't a temporary fix. It's real, lasting change that you carry with you.
A little about me
I've been working as a hypnotherapist for over 14 years, supporting adults through anxiety, stress, low confidence, unwanted habits, phobias, chronic health difficulties, and more.
I bring a calm, structured presence to every session, with a clear focus on helping you move forward in a way that feels honest and achievable — not just in theory, but in your actual life.
Next steps
If you’re ready for things to change, you don’t have to figure it all out first.
I offer a free initial conversation, a relaxed space to talk things through and see if this feels like the right fit.
Or, if you’d prefer to get started straight away, you’re welcome to book your first session.
Let's get you moving.

Training, qualifications & experience
As a qualified Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and Hypnotherapist, I bring a deeper understanding of how the mind works than hypnotherapy training alone can provide. You'll be in experienced, well-trained hands.
With 14 years’ experience, I’ve helped clients reduce anxiety, stress and burnout, improve sleep, build confidence and self-worth, and change patterns linked to habits, fears, phobias, pain and IBS.
