About me
I help adults, but not exclusively, work with adults and help them find relief, and recover from their intense sufferings from grief and complex psychological and health disorders. Each session is tailored to identify the most important issues that you feel is important to you, such as worry, future fear and health anxiety, PTSD, including general anxiety, negative and addictive behaviours and weight management issues.
IMPORTANT: Please Do Pause Here! Pop down to the bottom of this page and check out my Treatment and Packages Fees. This will help save time and perhaps assist you in making your decision before you take time out of your busy day to read all about me and the therapies I offer.
We work together to explore and identify the positive changes you want from your therapy sessions, and I personally structure your session to accommodate and benefit you the most... I use an Integrative Approach which means you don't get shoehorned into a generalised plan.
We all want to feel happy, contented and valued in life, but there are times when you can feel that life is passing you, just not right or you feel overwhelmed for reasons you may or may not understand. This can impact greatly on your Physical, Mental and Emotional well being and can leave you feeling anxious, tense, and irritable as well as feeling isolated and alone.
I can help you make those changes rapidly using the very latest BrainWorking Recursive Therapy intervention (BWRT®) so quickly overcoming those challenges that brought you here today, this new therapy does not involve hypnosis – it is a unique and new concept based on proven scientific concepts.
BWRT® is a model created by UK professional therapist, Terence Watts, MCGI. It’s a totally confidential method that does not require you to reveal your private information or personal secrets to your therapist and it is carried out in a completely conscious state. It does not use hypnosis or any concepts that might be considered mystical or unscientific – it’s completely logical, practical and down-to-earth, and for it to succeed only needs you to know what you want to change in your life. I am a Certified Practitioners, trained to deliver BWRT®
I have many years of practice, both as a private practitioner and an NHS Integrative Hypnotherapy and senior Calming intervention therapist, and there may be times when you will need longer periods of personal therapy because I understand how we can all find life difficult and a struggle at times and how it can happen. I use all my professional expertise in bringing a multi-skilled therapeutic approach to help you resolve these feelings.
Hypnotherapy, Integrative Psychotherapy as well as Complementary therapy and Body therapeutic touch have helped people find solutions and assisted them in feeling better when they felt unable to do so themselves.
I work in a unique way, bringing together the latest neuroscience, psycho-dynamic and analytical theories. This enables me to work efficiently and quickly, using a 5-step process:
- Facilitating a warm, safe and private environment where you will be accepted and allowed the space and time to present your specific concerns or issues in a non-judgemental way.
- Where you are encouraged to speak openly and engage in your own therapy process.
- Where I will actively listen and work with you at a depth and pace that is right for you.
- Tailoring and adapting each session for you as well as guiding and supporting you through the process.
- Providing and designing specialist therapeutic material and CD’s to build upon your inner-resilience, skills and personal development and growth.
Using all of the above expertise to build, either as part of a therapeutic package or as a stand-alone treatment, I can optimise your ability to recover quickly - thus reducing the periods of time you need to attend for therapy.

Areas of hypnotherapy I deal with
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.
