About me
Hi, I’m Helen and I offer neuroscience-backed wellbeing solutions in the form of solution focused hypnotherapy, psychotherapy and neuro linguistic programming (NLP). I work in a variety of areas, including: anxiety, stress, depression, IBS, OCD, panic attacks, phobias, trauma, confidence and self-esteem, pain management, weight management, performance improvement, smoking/vaping cessation.
My approach blends therapy and hypnosis in a gentle and supportive way that is outcome-focused, meaning you don’t have to talk about your problems. In fact, we actively avoid discussing issues because that keeps you stuck in the past. Instead, we work together on moving you forwards to a brighter future.
I work in-person or online and both are equally effective. In-person sessions are available at my home in Tollesbury or at a wellbeing clinic in Maldon. Online sessions are via Zoom. Working with me always starts with a free Initial Consultation to establish how I can help you and whether I'm the right therapist for you. Email or call me to book.
My background encompasses a lengthy corporate career (first in IT and then in learning & development) where I discovered a passion for helping people grow their skills and capabilities. Following early retirement, I trained as a life coach and started my own business. I added NLP skills and then hypnotherapy to my toolkit to help my clients achieve transformational change in a relatively short space of time.

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 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.

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.
