About me

As a hypnotherapist, I truly believe in the power of hypnotherapy to transform lives by tapping into the brain's remarkable ability to change, known as neuroplasticity. When you work with me, I guide you into a relaxed state where you can access your subconscious mind and explore the roots of any negative thought patterns or emotions that may be holding you back.

In this safe and nurturing environment, we can gently reshape feelings of anxiety, phobias, or stress together. My goal is to provide compassionate support while helping you unlock your inner resources, fostering personal growth and healing.

Hypnotherapy is not just about addressing specific challenges; it’s a journey of self-discovery that empowers you to embrace a deeper understanding of yourself. I’m here to help you make lasting, positive changes that enrich your life and enable you to reach your full potential. Let’s embark on this transformative journey together!


Training, qualifications & experience

I trained at The Hypnotic World International Academy of Hypnotherapy, accredited by The Professional Hypnotherapy practitioners association (PHPA), The General Hypnotherapy Register (GHR), and the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council.

As a member of the Professional Hypnotherapy Practitioner Association (PHPA) for Hypnotherapists, and the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC), all hypnotherapists are bound by a strict code of ethics. I also maintain full public liability and professional indemnity insurance and have enhanced DBS certificates.

As a registered and accredited Clinical Hypnotherapist, I am required to participate in Continuing Professional Development (CPD) through workshops, courses, supervision and personal development.

Member organisations

CNHC
Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC)

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.

GHR
The General Hypnotherapy Register (GHR)

Hypnotherapists may become members of the General Hypnotherapy Register if they satisfy certain criteria with regard to both training and ongoing requirements as determined from time to time by the General Hypnotherapy Standards Council (GHSC).

Members are either registered at Practitioner status (which confirms that the GHR acknowledges their qualification to practice), or Affiliate status. Although Affiliate level registrants will have completed a sufficient number of training hours to equip them to commence seeing clients on a limited basis, the GHR does not acknowledge them to have yet been trained to full practitioner level.

All GHR Registered Practitioners are required to accept the published Code of Ethics and Complaints & Disciplinary Procedure.

Accredited register membership

Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council
Accredited Register Scheme

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.

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.
