About me
I am currently working at my home based practice in Kirkstall, Leeds and on Zoom with clients from anywhere. This includes with individuals 1 to 1, couples, family members of any age (with adults), friends, work and professional colleagues. To improve communication and confidence, resolve issues and conditions, moving forward in a positive way.
Solution focused therapy is very successful, usually relatively quick process (weeks and months rather than years) and can have a very powerful effect on mindset. Ultimately mindset is the determining factor in successful relationships and life. Because we are solution focused, we may talk a little bit at the beginning about client problems but mostly we are focusing on solutions and moving forward in small, achievable steps.
If you suffer with anxiety, the many related conditions, insomnia, fears, phobias or many other issues that are concerning, upsetting, difficult, traumatic etc, I would really like to help you transform your life. Together it really is possible to find the happy, peaceful, calm and confident person/people you really are.
Some people want to feel like the person/people they used to be and others are hoping to make changes to achieve a completely new goal. Hypnosis allows access to the subconscious mind and can encourage positive changes which are of benefit to you. The sessions are enjoyable, you are fully in control for the whole time, feeling relaxed, calm and positive.
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is about looking forward.
You are welcome to talk about the issues you are seeking support with but you don't have to if you prefer not. Together we will overcome any issues you have and would like to address through a combination of Solution Focused Brief Therapy, CBT. Psychotherapy and Hypnotherapy. Being aware of but not dwelling on the past whilst finding a positive way forward to the future.
Each session is approximately 60-90 minutes long, and it's a very simple yet effective format. Every client is different and the number of sessions they need overall will vary. Usually Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is quicker at producing a successful outcome than traditional therapies.
I have considerable experience helping clients in person, online with Zoom and by phone all of which works really well. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy really is transformational in enabling people to find peace of mind and feel positive about their future.
Getting started.
The first appointment is an Initial Consultation, during which you will have the opportunity to tell me as much or as little as you feel comfortable with. I'll explain about how the brain works and what we know from the very latest scientific research of why things can be difficult for us, so you can have a better understanding of why you are at a point of asking for support and how we can make changes for the better. We can identify your initial goals which we will then use to work with in subsequent sessions. Your goals may adjust as we go along but all will be related to achieving your desired end results. A free relaxation download is provided, listening to this on a regular basis helps consolidate our work together and encourages a regular sleep pattern.
My website and Google My Business displays testimonials from people who are happy to share how they feel about working with me, please do have a look at them.
Training, qualifications & experience
I trained and qualified as a Solution Focused Clinical Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist with the Gold Standard Clifton Practice and have the Diploma in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (DSFH).
I update my skills regularly through monthly Supervision and Continuous Professional Development courses, which enable me to work with the very latest research and information.
After completing my BA (Hons) and a PGCE in Primary Education I worked for many years as a primary school teacher. I then spent more years in a special needs high school and working at home or Martin House Hospice with both excluded children and those too unwell to attend the school setting. I am fortunate to be able to use that knowledge, expertise and skills in combination with solution focused clinical hypnotherapy now to help children of all ages.
I am registered with the Complimentary National Healthcare Council and the Association for Solution Focused Hypnotherapists and follow their strict codes of conduct and professional ethics. I am also fully insured and DBS checked.
