About me
At Inspired to Change Hypnotherapy I work with people who are experiencing an emotional or physical issue which is holding them back or who are struggling to cope with life’s challenges and adapting to change. Often they have tried other approaches to move forward but ultimately they still feel unhappy or stuck. People just like you.
Regardless of what brings people to see us they all have one thing in common:
- They are motivated to get better, cope better or be better
- They are ready to get their lives on track
- They are inspired to change
And that is what I am passionate about and skilled at helping people to do!
In addition to the many different issues that the solution focused approach is effective at helping my personal passion is helping people with trauma, stress, anxiety, business success, sports performance or sexual orientation issues.

Member organisations
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.
The National Council for Hypnotherapy holds one of the largest registers of independent Hypnotherapists in the United Kingdom and strives to maintain the highest standards among its members.
There is an agreed Code of Conduct, an established Complaints & Disciplinary Procedure and all members are obliged to maintain comprehensive Public Liability & Professional Indemnity Insurance, maintain regular CPD (continuing professional development) hours, and attend Supervision when needed.
The Association for Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (AfSFH) was set up to provide information about a modern form of Hypnotherapy and its associated benefits to members of the public. The main aim of the AfSFH is to spread awareness of the benefits of Solution Focused Hypnotherapy. Its secondary aim is to support Hypnotherapists in their businesses by encouraging good practice and self-care.
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.

Further information
I have spent the past 15 years working in frontline emergency services and have worked in very challenging environments. Having been exposed to a range of traumatic incidents and having personally experienced the effects trauma can have on mental health, I decided to use the understanding I’d gained to help others deal with and overcome similar experiences.
There can still be a reticence around talking about mental health but by helping colleagues, friends and family work through their struggles, I feel able to relate to the challenges it presents. I can help you take back control of your own wellbeing and enable you to achieve whatever goals you have in mind.
I am passionate about helping people and I have dedicated my life to that cause. I have trained in positive psychology and as a solution focused hypnotherapist, I am able to help you change the way you live your life and ensure your dreams of success and a better way of living become reality.
It is important to remember we cannot change the past, because the past is gone and you have already coped with and survived everything from your past. But the future, we can colour with bright, clear possibility and fill it with all the joy, happiness and success you truly deserve.
