About me
Congratulations on taking the first step. Whether you're just exploring your options or you've decided now is the right time to make a change, I'd be delighted to help.
Every client is different, so rather than using a "one size fits all" approach, I tailor therapy to you and what you'd like to achieve. My style is friendly, practical, and down to earth, and together we'll work towards goals that matter to you.
I've been helping clients make positive changes for over 20 years and have a special interest in working with anxiety and stress-related issues, including panic attacks, phobias, sleep problems, and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).
If you're not sure whether hypnotherapy is suitable for your situation, that's exactly what the Discovery Call is for.
A free hypnotherapy discovery call is a no-obligation, 20-30 minute consultation conducted over the phone or via Zoom. It provides a private, informal space to explore your goals, discuss what you want from therapy, and decide if hypnotherapy or something else is the best fit for your needs. Crucially, this is not a high-pressure sales call. It is simply a conversation designed to give you clarity and help us decide if we are a good match to work together.
Therapy Sessions are available online via Zoom or in my comfortable therapy room in Castleford, which is easy to reach from Wakefield, Pontefract, Normanton and Leeds.
If you'd like to find out more, you can:
• phone me on 01977 678593
• send me a message via this profile, or

Professional memberships
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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).
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.
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.
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.
