About me
As a fully qualified and insured Clinical Hypnotherapist, I offer a professional, solution-focused approach to hypnotherapy. To explore how hypnotherapy can benefit you, I invite you to schedule a complimentary 15-minute call. Reach out via phone or email, and let's arrange a conversation.
Imagine the impact if your best hopes become your reality. Would your life take a turn for the better? Would you exude greater confidence and find happiness? Could it pave the way for more concrete plans? I believe that I can help you achieve these results through our sessions together.
My individualised treatments aim to empower clients to tap into their innate strengths, fostering a life of fulfilment. My approach emphasises envisioning positive actions and outcomes by redirecting focus toward desired achievements rather than dwelling on past issues. This proactive mindset enables clients to devise solutions that propel them toward their best hopes.
From addressing anxiety, stress, phobias, and grief to offering support with pain management or weight control, every treatment is tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual.
Sessions can be conducted face to face at the city centre clinic or online, ensuring effectiveness while providing flexibility according to the client's preference.
Training, qualifications & experience
A fully qualified and insured Clinical Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist. I trained with the renowned Cliffton Hypnotherapy School in Bristol. I am registered with the Association for Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (AfSFH) and the Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) and abide by their strict code of ethics.
I have continued my training over the years and also practise Medical Hypnotherapy which allows me to help and support clients with specific health challenges. This can cover many areas such as chronic illnesses, needle phobias, scanxiety, to patients going through chemotherapy or persistent pain.
I have been trained by the highly accredited Dr David Muss to practise the rewind technique to treat cases of PTSD. This is a highly effective and rapid tool to assist trauma victims.
Member organisations
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.
The Association for Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (AfSFH) was set up to provide information about a modern form of Hypnotherapy and its associated benefits to members of the public. The main aim of the AfSFH is to spread awareness of the benefits of Solution Focused Hypnotherapy. Its secondary aim is to support Hypnotherapists in their businesses by encouraging good practice and self-care.
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.
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.
