My Journey and Credentials
My own experience with Clinical hypnotherapy & Psychotherapy changed my life, and inspired me to retrain. I studied with the Kent institute of Clinical Hypnotherapy, (KICH), earning my Certificate and Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy with Psychotherapy, along with a specialist qualification in Hypnoanalysis.
In 2024, I was honoured to receive a Gold Award at the Kent Health & Beauty Awards.
I worked part time as a classroom assistant for the kent institute, supporting new students in their clinical training. I also gained invaluable experience volunteering with:
A leading bereavement charity, offering phone support.
My early career as a police emergency call handler and dispatcher developed my empathy, listening skills and communication, all of which now support my therapy work.
I am the author of The grief Healing Journal, designed to gently guide you through the process of loss with compassion and care. Available to buy on my website or Amazon.
I also facilitate a twice monthly grief support group in Rochester & Newington, offering the local community a safe space to connect and heal.
