About me
I have a passion for helping people to achieve their goals through the power of their unconscious mind. I believe that the solutions to our problems lie within us, if only we have the commitment of an empathic and skilled guide to show the way.
I provide
Bespoke, compassionate, clinical hypnotherapy to help you with anxiety, confidence, fears and phobias, insomnia, menopause, pain management, smoking cessation and more. Specialisms: Anxiety, Parkinson's and young people. Free discovery call and initial consultation.
My specialisms
I specialise in working with people experiencing anxiety.
I also work with people with Parkinson's to support them in coming to terms with the emotional impact of living with Parkinson's.
My third specialism is working with young people, an area that brings me particular joy and satisfaction; enabling me to draw upon my previous experience as an outreach teacher for children with additional support needs.
I welcome the opportunity to work with both neurodiverse and neurotypical clients.

Professional memberships
Member organisations
Each member of APHP has received thorough training in hypnosis and hypnotherapy, is competent and conscientious, and abides strictly by a code of ethics. There are four grades of membership: Licentiate (LAPHP), Registered Member (MAPHP), Accredited Member (MAPHP(acc.)) and Fellow (FAPHP), with the different categories standing for different levels of training and experience. The Association for Professional Hypnosis and Psychotherapy is a member organisation of UKCHO (an umbrella body for the hypnotherapy profession in the United Kingdom).
The CNHC encompasses many types of alternative therapy, including hypnotherapy.
In order to be admitted to the register a practitioner must have studied to the National Occupational Standards for that profession/discipline, or have reached the equivalent of the National Occupational Standards through other relevant training or at least three years of experience and been assessed by their peers.
A practitioner must also have professional insurance and agree to abide by the CNHC Code of Conduct, Performance and Ethics.
Hypnotherapists may become members of the General Hypnotherapy Register if they satisfy certain criteria with regard to both training and ongoing requirements as determined from time to time by the General Hypnotherapy Standards Council (GHSC). Members are either registered at Practitioner status (which confirms that the GHR acknowledges their qualification to practice), or Affiliate status. Although Affiliate level registrants will have completed a sufficient number of training hours to equip them to commence seeing clients on a limited basis, the GHR does not acknowledge them to have yet been trained to full practitioner level. All GHR Registered Practitioners are required to accept the published Code of Ethics and Complaints & Disciplinary Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Testimonials
"I was having severe anxiety issues that were sabotaging my romantic relationship. Thanks to Signature Hypnotherapy my anxiety is now much reduced and I can focus and enjoy the strong relationship that we have. Signature Hypnotherapy helped me turn things round."
Sean
"Anne-Marie is a practitioner who I found empathic and caring. She pays great attention to detail, and works very effectively towards the achievement of one's goals. I am on the Autistic Spectrum, so my anxiety is often heightened around meeting new people or starting new ventures, but I always felt very at ease with Anne-Marie, and I always felt that I was in safe hands. As a result of a fairly brief course of work together, my general anxiety is greatly improved and I am able to more observe it than get 'caught up in it'. This is a fantastic shift for me. I also have managed to stop drinking alcohol, which was not my main objective, but I seem to have done this with relative ease, and I know that it will have far reaching positive effects in the rest of my life."
Karen
"My daughter was really worried about her exams after poor results in her mock exams/prelims. Following an initial conversation with Anne-Marie she very tentatively had an initial hypnotherapy session. It was fantastic and really helped her confidence. After only a few sessions, her attitude to the exams and her confidence was transformed." Philip
"I initially contacted Anne-Marie after being recommended to do so by a friend. I was having severe anxiety and sleep issues, particularly waking from any sleep I managed to get with panic attacks. Dealing with my subconscious seemed like a sensible idea although I had never tried hypnotherapy.
I was at first a little unsure however that quickly disappeared when I met Anne-Marie. She is so kind, patient and sympathetic and made me feel completely at ease. We had all of our sessions in person over many months, sometimes at the Garden Room and sometimes at my house, which worked equally well. The hypnotherapy sessions themselves were truly wonderful, relaxing and safe guided journeys exploring issues I had identified, that came up as we progressed, or just providing deep relaxation. I am still not sure quite how it works but it definitely does!
After only a couple of sessions my sleep was much better and she provided me with some wonderful tools to manage my anxiety. Through her sessions I discovered a lot about myself and really managed to get to the heart of my anxiety and fears. Through hypnotherapy I have managed to significantly work towards overcoming fears of heights, being on bridges over water, work-related trauma, wolves, and swimming in the sea. I have been able to do things this year that I haven't managed for decades and never thought I would be able to do again.
I am the happiest I have ever been and am so much more calm and confident in myself.
I cannot recommend Anne-Marie enough and will, now I have completed my treatment sessions, be going back for relaxation and if I need to deal with anything else that comes.
Thank you Anne-Marie. "
Lewis
"Anne-Marie is not only an exceptional hypnotherapist but also a genuinely kind and compassionate person. From the very first session, I felt truly listened to and supported. Her calm, caring approach came through consistently and created a space where I could be open and feel safe.
Through our work together, Anne-Marie helped me take control of my anxiety and stress, guiding me back to a place of inner peace. She also helped me build confidence and maintain control in a competitive sports environment, where my stress responses had previously felt unpredictable.
What sets Anne-Marie apart is her integrity, she won't keep you coming to sessions once you no longer need them. Her focus is entirely on helping you move forward, and that's exactly what she's helped me to do.
Thank you Anne-Marie." Stuart
"I have been struggling with mood swings, anxiety, burnout, and setting boundaries due to personal and external circumstances.
Hypnotherapy sessions with Anne-Marie helped me to manage anxiety, have better mental clarity and resilience, and set healthier expectations and boundaries.
The IEMT sessions were impactful. I was able to deal with past trauma as well as modulate my moods and feelings. This therapy enables me to be more focused on working towards my goals.
Anne-Marie is a patient and thoughtful listener. I enjoyed our interactions and am grateful for the positive skills and changes I gained from our sessions." Dean
