I currently offer a community-minded service, with a number of sliding-scale, reduced-fee spaces available from £10.
Sessions are available in English and Italian.
Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist with a background in psychology, psychotherapy, sociology, social work, and community-based counselling. My work begins with your lived experience, what you are feeling, what you are going through, and what matters to you, meeting you as a whole person rather than a list of symptoms.
My approach is integrative, trauma-informed, humanistic, and informed by a transpersonal perspective. I support people with anxiety, low mood, stress, trauma, addiction, and identity or relationship difficulties, drawing, where appropriate, on guided imagery, dreamwork, parts work, and hypnotherapy to support insight, healing, and meaningful change.

Member organisations
Each member of APHP has received thorough training in hypnosis and hypnotherapy, is competent and conscientious, and abides strictly by a code of ethics. There are four grades of membership: Licentiate (LAPHP), Registered Member (MAPHP), Accredited Member (MAPHP(acc.)) and Fellow (FAPHP), with the different categories standing for different levels of training and experience. The Association for Professional Hypnosis and Psychotherapy is a member organisation of UKCHO (an umbrella body for the hypnotherapy profession in the United Kingdom).
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.
The National Council for Hypnotherapy holds one of the largest registers of independent Hypnotherapists in the United Kingdom and strives to maintain the highest standards among its members. There is an agreed Code of Conduct, an established Complaints & Disciplinary Procedure and all members are obliged to maintain comprehensive Public Liability & Professional Indemnity Insurance, maintain regular CPD (continuing professional development) hours, and attend Supervision when needed.
Accredited register membership
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.
Other areas of hypnotherapy I deal with
I support people with low mood, anxiety and depressive symptoms; self-acceptance struggles; difficult life situations; loss of meaning; stress-related symptoms; identity and relationship difficulties; coping patterns that no longer serve; and personal growth, including shadow integration and self-awareness.
