About me
I offer Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy for professionals dealing with stress, anxiety, burnout, public speaking anxiety and performance pressure, from my private practices in Soho and Greenwich, as well as online.
Before moving into therapy, I worked as a business analyst within investment banking. That background gives me a practical understanding of demanding professional environments, long hours, high expectations and the pressure to keep performing when stress or anxiety begins to interfere.
My approach is structured and collaborative. Rather than focusing only on feeling calmer, we look at the specific patterns that may be keeping the problem going — including anxious predictions, physical responses, self-monitoring, avoidance and unhelpful coping strategies — and work towards responses that are more useful in the situations that matter.
Many of the clients I work with are functioning at a high level externally but finding that pressure, overthinking or anxiety is becoming harder to contain.
Training, qualifications & experience
Training, Qualifications & Experience
Before retraining as a therapist, I spent over two decades working in high-pressure analytical and mentoring roles across Canary Wharf, the City of London, Singapore, Frankfurt and Zurich. This experience gives me a grounded understanding of sustained performance demands, cognitive overload and responsibility-driven stress.
I later qualified in Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (CBH), an evidence-based approach integrating CBT with clinical hypnosis. My work combines formal psychological training with practical insight into how pressure, decision-making environments and performance expectations shape thinking patterns and resilience.

Areas of hypnotherapy I deal with
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.
Other areas of hypnotherapy I deal with
I work primarily with stress, anxiety, performance pressure, situational fears, sleep difficulties and the patterns of thinking and behaviour that can keep these problems going.
Assessment comes first. Where symptoms may point to an underlying medical condition, a more complex mental-health difficulty, or something outside the appropriate scope of this work, I will discuss that with you and, where appropriate, recommend further medical or specialist assessment.
The aim is to make sure the work is both useful and appropriate from the outset.

How I Work
I use Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy to address unhelpful thought patterns, behaviours and underlying stress responses.
Sessions are focused, practical and tailored to the individual. Where appropriate, the work may include personalised hypnosis recordings, practical exercises and strategies to use between appointments.

How Sessions Work
We identify the main pattern maintaining the difficulty and look at the cognitive, emotional, physical and behavioural processes involved. Sessions are structured around changing the response step by step, with an emphasis on practical application in the situations that matter.
Sessions may include:
• Targeted Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy
• Behavioural rehearsal and focused practice
• Practical regulation and performance tools
• Clear goal setting, tracking and review
• Tailored strategies for use between sessions
