About me
I am a qualified Solution-Focused Hypnotherapist specialising in helping teenagers and young adults overcome anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, trauma, and tics. My approach is compassionate, practical, and future-focused, providing young people with the tools and confidence to manage their mental health and build resilience.
Through Solution-Focused Therapy techniques, I help clients shift their focus from problems to solutions, enabling them to regain control over their thoughts and emotions. Unlike traditional therapy that revisits past trauma, my sessions encourage a positive, goal-oriented mindset, helping teenagers reduce stress and move forward with confidence.
- How My Hypnotherapy Sessions Can Help
- Reduce Anxiety & Stress – Helping teenagers feel calmer and more in control
- Support for Depression – Encouraging a more positive outlook
- OCD & Intrusive Thoughts Management – Gaining clarity and reducing compulsions
- PTSD & Trauma Recovery – Processing difficult experiences and moving forward
- Tic Reduction Strategies – Managing stress-related tics for improved well-being
- Boosting Confidence & Self-Esteem – Empowering young people to believe in themselves
Support for Parents & Families
I also work closely with parents, providing guidance on how to support their young person effectively. Together, we can create a more understanding and positive home environment to support their mental well-being.
If your teenager is struggling with anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, trauma, or tics, I can help them take positive steps towards a calmer, happier future.

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.

If you have been diagnosed with - or suspect you may have - any of these conditions, please speak to your doctor before starting hypnotherapy.
