About me

I provide a friendly, safe and professional service, combining different techniques, including Clinical Hypnotherapy, EMDR, EFT and Reiki to find what’s right for you. Whatever you are facing or want to change right now, I'm here to support you.

My service is called "Help Yourself" because my aim is to empower you to take your health and wellbeing into your own hands. With increasing pressure on the NHS and long waiting lists, we can no longer rely on someone else to solve our problems.

Self-care is at the heart of all I do, and I will help you get back in touch with yourself, help you listen to what your body needs and find solutions. As well as the therapy that we do in our sessions, I will teach you self-care tools to use independently wherever and whenever you need them. I can provide a recording of our session and resources and links to further relevant reading to support what we're doing. My aim is to do a few sessions to get you on track, but I'm more than happy to see people regularly for ongoing support.

I'd like to support you in feeling better in mind body and spirit. Have more energy and vitality, feel balanced and stable, motivated and to regain your curiosity for life. To do whatever you want to do and achieve your goals. Feel able, confident and happier again. 

I am particularly interested and experienced in treating irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and other functional gut disorders, with Gut Directed and Clinical Hypnotherapy, but also have experience and skills dealing with many varied issues. These include; emotional and mood problems, stress and anxiety, fears and phobias, habits, healthy eating, sleep problems, traumatic memories, health promotion and motivation, confidence and self-esteem, recovering from illness or surgery and general promotion of wellbeing.

With a long career in Nursing, promoting health and minimising the effects of illness, I now use Clinical Hypnotherapy, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing), Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT tapping on acupressure points) Reiki, Capacitar Wellbeing Practices and guided relaxation to help in the management of conditions and symptoms.

You can be sure you're in safe hands. I am registered with the British Society of Clinical Hypnosis, have regular continual professional development and I'm fully insured.

Treatment is offered in two York clinics or online. Home visits or at a place of care can be arranged at a small additional charge for travel.

  • Reiki Therapist
  • Member of The British Society of Clinical Hypnosis

I worked as a registered nurse for over 20 years, including as a District Nurse and IBS Nurse Specialist. I have always been interested in complementary therapies and a person's own abilities to help themselves. Personally, I experienced successful hypnotherapy treatment for IBS which sparked an interest in hypnosis and the mind-body link. In 2010, I studied with the London College of Clinical Hypnosis and Thames Valley University, achieving a Post Graduate Certificate in Clinical Hypnosis. Since then, I worked in the NHS providing a Gut Directed Hypnotherapy Service at the local hospital as well as in private practice. I now only work privately and have extended my service to include EMDR therapy and Capacitor Wellbeing Practices.
