✅ Where Does Hypnotherapy Sit?
Right at the point where change becomes not just logical, but truly possible.

I practise Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (CBH), a modern, evidence-based approach that combines Clinical, Cognitive, and Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy with practical psychological strategies.

Whether you're facing anxiety, insomnia, exam stress, phobias, or habits like smoking, emotional eating, or procrastination, my work supports lasting change from the inside out.

📍Based in Greenwich and Bromley, I work with professionals, students, and parents across South East London, Central London, and Kent. I offer both in-person and online therapy to suit your schedule.

📍 About the Practice

My practice is grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy — a structured, evidence-based approach tailored to modern life.

I support clients juggling demanding careers, significant life transitions, or caregiving roles, offering a space to pause, reset, and build long-term emotional resilience.

Sessions are available in-person (Greenwich & Bromley) or online, with flexibility to suit busy schedules across South East London, Central London, and Kent.

My clients often include:

🌆 Professionals in high-pressure fields like investment banking, law, and tech (City of London & Canary Wharf)
🎓 Students and adult learners working toward career-defining exams and professional qualifications
👪 Parents and caregivers dealing with the emotional toll of the SEND system — from EHCP support to school disputes

If you're juggling a demanding career, caregiving responsibilities, or your emotional well-being, I offer a calm, structured space to reset and move forward with clarity.

🧩 Who I Work With – Real People, Real Challenges
Whether navigating a demanding career, preparing for a critical exam, or simply trying to find your footing again, I offer a space to reset, reframe, and move forward with clarity and momentum.

Here are three common patterns I work with:

1. 🧠 Overcoming Performance Blocks
You've trained, studied, and prepared — but when it’s time to perform, anxiety takes over. Maybe it's a career exam, a presentation, or an interview, and suddenly your confidence disappears. You know you're capable, but something keeps getting in the way.

Common signs:

• Exam stress, test anxiety, fear of failure
• Public speaking nerves or impostor syndrome
• Mental blanks under pressure
• High-functioning anxiety

🔄 We work together to calm the body, retrain the mind, and build tools that support performance under pressure — so you can show up fully when it counts.

2. ⚙️ The Productivity Trap
You're busy, driven, and constantly planning, but action stalls. You're caught between overthinking and underdoing. Everything feels urgent, yet nothing quite gets done. You feel frustrated with yourself, exhausted by effort without results.

Common signs:

• Procrastination and avoidance
• Perfectionism and fear of not being good enough
• Imposter syndrome or comparison anxiety
• Feeling overwhelmed by everything, or nothing in particular

🔄 Together, we untangle the inner pressure loops and break the cycle of stress-fuelled stagnation. Less pressure, more progress.

3. 🌫️ The Emotional Fog
You've lost direction. You're not yourself — maybe even unsure what “yourself” looks like anymore. Life keeps moving, but something inside feels flat, numb, or stuck. You're tired of pushing through and ready to find clarity and energy again.

Common signs:

• Burnout, low motivation, and emotional fatigue
• Feeling lost, behind, or disconnected
• Decision paralysis or chronic self-doubt
• Stress without a clear cause

🔄 I help you reconnect with what matters, rebuild emotional resilience, and find a sense of purpose again, on your terms.

🎯 Targeted Hypnosis for Specific Issues

Sometimes, the change you're looking for is specific — a habit you’re ready to break, a fear you want to move beyond, or a performance block that’s holding you back.

These sessions are targeted, solution-focused, and designed to create real, lasting shifts — not just temporary relief. I use a blend of Clinical Hypnotherapy, Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (CBH), and modern psychological tools to help retrain the mind, calm the nervous system, and rewire unhelpful patterns at their root.

Whether it's anxiety, sleep issues, phobias, or unwanted habits, this work supports profound, sustainable transformation — even with challenges you've carried for years.

🔍 Looking for support with something specific?
Here are some of the most common concerns I help clients work through — and how Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (CBH) can support lasting change:

 🌬️ Anxiety & Stress (Personal, Career, or Situational)
From high-functioning anxiety to chronic overwhelm, I help you calm the mind and body, reduce reactivity, and restore clarity and control.

“I always feel tense, even when nothing's wrong.”
 
😴 Sleep Problems & Insomnia
When stress steals your sleep, it impacts everything. I help you break the cycle of racing thoughts, night waking, and sleep resistance using hypnosis, CBT, and relaxation techniques — not just sleep hygiene.

“I’m exhausted, but I still can’t switch off.”
 
🚭 Quit Smoking & Vaping
Whether it’s cigarettes or vaping, I support you in letting go of nicotine for good, without the struggle of willpower battles or fear of failure. This is focused, motivational work that reframes your relationship with the habit.

“I know it’s time — I just need the right mindset.”
 
⚖️ Weight Loss Habits & Emotional Eating
When eating patterns are driven by emotion, pressure, or routine, willpower alone isn’t enough. I help you address the deeper drivers of habit, rewire reward responses, and build a calmer, more balanced relationship with food.

“I eat when I’m tired, stressed, or bored — and I’m tired of it.”
 
🌡️ IBS & Gut-Related Anxiety
Hypnotherapy is a proven intervention for IBS and gut-brain symptoms. I use gut-directed hypnotherapy to reduce flare-ups, manage anxiety, and create long-term symptom relief.

“Stress always goes straight to my stomach.”
 
🛫 Phobias & Fear of Flying
Targeted hypnotherapy can help reset the brain's fear response to heights, flying, needles, or open spaces. We work gently but directly to reduce fear and restore a sense of safety.

“It's irrational — but I can't stop the panic.”
 
🗣️ Confidence & Public Speaking
You know your stuff, but when you're in the spotlight, your mind goes blank or your heart races. I help you feel grounded, calm, and focused when it matters.

“I want to speak up, but I freeze every time.”
 
🚘 Driving Anxiety
Past scares, test nerves, or a loss of confidence can all make driving feel stressful or unsafe. I work with the emotional and cognitive patterns behind driving-related anxiety so that you can get back behind the wheel with confidence.

“I used to drive all the time, now I can't even get in the car.”
 
If you're not sure which approach is right for you, we can discuss it together—no pressure, no hard sell. Sometimes, just naming the challenge is the first step to moving beyond it.
