About me

Struggling with stress, anxiety, insomnia, or habits you can’t seem to change?

I specialise in helping people create rapid, meaningful change using evidence-based Cognitive Hypnotherapy and coaching. Many clients come to me after trying other approaches and wanting something more focused, practical, and effective.

My work focuses on reducing anxiety, improving sleep, overcoming phobias and addictive patterns, building confidence, and helping high-performing individuals manage pressure without burnout. Clients often experience noticeable shifts within a small number of sessions.

Originally from Aberdeen, Scotland, I practise in London (Harley Street, Farringdon, and Crouch End) and work online across the UK and USA.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to you. Rather than analysing problems endlessly, we focus on how your mind works and how to create change that lasts.

I’ve worked with business leaders, athletes, creatives, and professionals navigating stress, impostor syndrome, performance anxiety, and major life transitions. My background in psychology and organisational psychology allows me to combine scientific insight with practical strategies that fit real life.

As a Full Member (FMBPsS) of the British Psychological Society and a member of the National Council for Hypnotherapy, I work to clear professional and ethical standards.

Starting therapy can feel like a big step. I offer an initial consultation so you can ask questions, experience the approach, and decide whether it feels like the right fit.

I specialise in addressing areas including:

  • Addiction
  • Anger Management
  • Anxiety
  • Chronic Pain
  • Confidence
  • Eating Disorders
  • Fatigue
  • Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
  • Panic Attacks
  • Performance
  • Phobias
  • Self-Esteem
  • Sexual Dysfunctions and Disorders
  • Sleep Disorders & Insomnia
  • Stress Management
  • Weight Loss

Training, qualifications & experience

 Training, Qualifications & Expertise

With over 15 years’ experience, I support business leaders, athletes, creatives, and high-performing professionals navigating anxiety, sleep difficulties, performance pressure, behavioural patterns, and major life transitions. My work is structured, discreet, and focused on creating meaningful, sustainable change often within a small number of sessions.

I am a member of the British Psychological Society (MBPsS) and the National Council for Hypnotherapy (MNCH), working to recognised professional and ethical standards.

My clinical training includes Advanced Cognitive Hypnotherapy (FHEQ Level 4), Compassionate Inquiry, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), NLP, and Rapid Induction approaches, allowing me to tailor interventions to each client rather than apply a single method.

Academically, I hold a an MSc in Psychology from Birkbeck, University of London, a PGDip in Organisational Psychology from University of Aberdeen, and a BA (Hons) in Business Studies from Robert Gordon University

My MA in Filmmaking informs my understanding of identity, narrative, and behavioural change, helping clients reframe internal stories, shift perspective, and create lasting psychological flexibility.

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.

Key details

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Hypnotherapist's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Hypnotherapist to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
