About me

You are a few steps from moving towards the new you. Drop me an email or text to book an appointment now, or read on for further information.

I offer 90 mins appointments


As an Advanced Hypnotherapist I work with a wide range of issues in a direct and down-to-earth way: 

  • Stop Smoking Therapy (2 ½ Hours) 
  • Weight Loss
  • Fears and Phobia
  • Cravings
  • Confidence and self-esteem
  • Anxiety (all aspects from Generalised Anxiety Disorder through to Social Anxiety or Performance Anxieties).
  • Stress
  • Depression
  • Grief

Many of my clients come to me looking successful, happy, and popular on the outside, but inside they are often experiencing sadness, shame, guilt, sexual embarrassment, or simply feel stuck and don't know how to change things and get what they want from life. A good number of my clients are men who somehow feel they need to mature, but are unsure of their boundaries. That's where I come in.

I help my clients release shame, let go of guilt and limiting beliefs, establish their boundaries and grow in confidence and self esteem.

My practice is in Hainault which is convenient for East London, Essex and Hertfordshire.
Whilst most people prefer face to face appointments for some issues I can offer sessions via Skype, FaceTime or Zoom.

Professional memberships

Member organisations

school Registered / Accredited

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.

APHP
Association for Professional Hypnosis and Psychotherapy (APHP)

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).

GHR
The General Hypnotherapy Register (GHR)

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.

NCH
National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH)

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.

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
