Who I Work With
I support individuals who may be experiencing anxiety, stress, overwhelm, low confidence or feeling stuck in different aspects of their lives.
Many people come to me when they are navigating change, experiencing pressure at work or in relationships, struggling with motivation, confidence or wellbeing, or wanting to create meaningful and lasting change.
Examples of areas I commonly support include:
• Anxiety, stress and overwhelm
• Confidence and self-esteem
• Fears and phobias
• Sleep difficulties
• Life and career transitions
• Motivation and performance challenges
• Building resilience and wellbeing
• Relationships and communication
• Self-leadership and personal growth
About Me
I am a Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist, wellbeing and leadership consultant, coach and lecturer, with over 25 years of experience supporting individuals and organisations.
My approach combines Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (CBH) with coaching psychology, positive psychology and integrative therapeutic approaches to create meaningful and sustainable change.
CBH combines evidence-based psychological approaches with hypnotherapy to help you understand how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. Together we can identify unhelpful patterns, develop new perspectives and create practical strategies that support positive change.
Alongside hypnotherapy, I also integrate approaches such as Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), mindfulness and mind body techniques where appropriate, creating a personalised experience tailored to your individual needs.
I believe lasting change begins with awareness, self-understanding and taking authentic action. I offer a supportive and nurturing space where you can gain clarity, build confidence and move forward with greater ease.
How I Work
I offer a supportive, practical and strengths-based approach tailored to your needs and goals.
Together we will explore what matters most, understand challenges, identify strengths and create realistic steps towards meaningful change.
Next Steps
Everything begins with a conversation.
I offer a complimentary 30-minute consultation where we can discuss your goals and explore how I may support you.
I look forward to hearing from you.

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.
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 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.
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
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
I offer an integrative, evidence-based approach to hypnotherapy, helping individuals manage anxiety, stress, confidence challenges and specific fears, and to move forward with greater clarity, calm and control.
