About me
Hello, My name is Christine. I work with adults who feel stuck in a cycle of feeling anxious all the time and might even have obsessive thoughts or behaviours. A lot of my clients have tried many things before or have tried to push through on their own, but deep down, they long for real relief and the chance to feel like themselves again.
Through hypnotherapy, we work together to understand why you feel that way, release built-up tension, and uncover new ways of coping that feel natural and sustainable. Clients often notice a difference after the first few sessions. They report to feel more in control of their thoughts, emotions and behaviours instead of being controlled, which in turn allows them to do the things they want to do and experience freedom and calm.
Over time, these changes begin to ripple out into daily life and my clients share that they can finally reclaim their life. With over 15 years of experience working with adults in higher education and corporate settings, I understand how relentless feelings of anxiety can be and I’m here to offer a supportive space where all of you is welcome.
Training, qualifications & experience
I bring together over 20 years of experience supporting people through change across higher education, coaching and psychotherapy. Today, my work focuses on helping adults experiencing anxiety, stress, trauma, obsessive thoughts and life transitions through an integrative approach that combines psychotherapy, clinical hypnosis, mindfulness and somatic therapy.
I continue to develop my practice through ongoing professional training and supervision, ensuring my work reflects current research and best practice.

info Information about health conditions (*)
Hypnotherapy can enhance the well-being of individuals diagnosed with serious medical conditions, but should not take the place of medical treatment and advice. If you have been diagnosed with - or suspect you may have - any of these conditions, please speak to your doctor before starting hypnotherapy.

Additional information
If you're unsure whether therapy is right for you, I offer a free 15-minute introductory call with no obligation. It's an opportunity to ask questions and decide whether working together feels like the right fit.
Following this, appointments begin with an initial assessment session to understand your needs and agree the best way forward.
A limited number of reduced-fee spaces are available, subject to eligibility and availability. Please feel free to ask if this would make therapy more accessible.
Payment is by bank transfer, and I kindly ask that payment is made in advance days before your appointment.
