About me
Hi Doug here!
Are you holding it together on the outside, but falling apart on the inside?
You look like you've got it together. You function. You work. You show up. You keep going.
But privately, you're exhausted from fighting your own mind.
You overthink. You second-guess yourself. You put things off even when you know they're important. You avoid difficult conversations. You can't switch off. You freeze when you need to perform. And no matter what you achieve, part of you still feels like you're not enough, or that eventually you'll be found out.
You know you want things to change. The problem is, knowing what to do isn't the same as being able to do it.
That's where I come in.
I work with people who are tired of repeating the same patterns and want to take action.
The person who knows they should speak up but stays quiet.
The person who keeps procrastinating despite knowing exactly what needs to be done.
The person who keeps returning to the same relationship patterns.
The person whose anxiety, fear or self-doubt has quietly started making their decisions for them.
The person who looks confident on the outside but is constantly battling themselves on the inside.
You don't need another lecture about why you feel this way. You need a way forward.
I've been there too.
Before becoming a therapist, I built and sold a business, but success didn't automatically make me happy.
I've also experienced rock bottom, complex trauma, social anxiety, a fear of public speaking, addiction and a even a phobia of flying so I know what it's like to feel completely stuck.
After investing in many different programs and therapy's I discovered how to change those patterns for good.
That experience became a major part of why I do this work today.
I'm a bestselling author, clinical hypno-psychotherapist and creator of a unique 4-Step Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Programme.
I now use the techniques I've learned, tested and personally experienced to help you create change.
What can we change?
I help clients work on:
Anxiety, panic and overwhelm
Confidence and self-belief
Public speaking and performance anxiety
Social anxiety
Fears and phobias
Trauma and difficult past experiences
Imposter syndrome and fear of being exposed
Procrastination and self-sabotage
Overthinking and inability to switch off
Smoking cessation and Chronic Pain
Weight management and unhealthy habits
Low self-esteem and limiting beliefs
Relationship patterns and narcissistic abuse recovery
Identity, motivation and purpose driven personal transformation
My approach combines hypnotherapy, EMDR, NLP, EFT, IFS and other psycho-sensory techniques to help you rapidly transform your life.
Rather than simply talking about the problem, we remove the unconscious patterns that can keep it running.
Because sometimes the problem isn't that you don't know what to do.
It's that something inside you keeps stopping you from doing it.
That's the part we work on.
The aim isn't to help you become better at coping with a life you don't want.
It's to help you:
Speak when you've been staying silent.
Set boundaries without drowning in guilt.
Make the decision you've been avoiding.
Stop letting fear choose for you.
Break the patterns you've been repeating.
Find your purpose and trust yourself again.
And start moving towards the life you actually want.
Narcissistic Abuse Recovery
I've also developed my own 4-Step Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Programme for people who feel trapped in the psychological aftermath of narcissistic or emotionally abusive relationships.
Because understanding narcissistic abuse is only the beginning.
You can know every term, recognise every tactic and still find yourself thinking about them, doubting yourself, going back, or struggling to rebuild your identity.
We work on breaking the psychological patterns, rebuilding self-trust, strengthening boundaries and designing a future that isn't defined by what happened to you.
If you're ready to live without regret
You don't have to wait until things get worse.
If something in your life isn't working, let's change it.

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.

Additional information
My fees vary depending on the issue and the level of support needed. For example, something like stop smoking is often resolved much more quickly than more deep work such as complex trauma.
That’s why I'm offering a free initial assessment, so we can understand your situation fully.
