About me
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (SFH) enabled me to personally overcome some of life’s unwanted experiences. I retrained in SFH and now enjoy working with a variety of client’s, enabling them to experience this enlightening and beneficial form of therapy whilst gaining an understanding of how we process events and how we can create new neural pathways to form new positive habits.
I work with clients online and in person, using a combination of techniques including a solution focused approach and hypnosis to achieve the positive changes you desire. Working this way enables change to be made without having to go over or delve into negative events of the past. I have worked successfully with a variety clients including those with low mood, overthinkers and low self-esteem/low confidence.
A free and complementary initial consultation is offered to discuss what you would like to achieve and how we could best work together for you to achieve your goals. During this consultation (approx. 1hr) I will also explain about our brain and why we can be feeling the way we do.

Training, qualifications & experience
My training was with the respected Clifton Practice Hypnotherapy Training Centre, where I achieved my Solution Focused Hypnotherapy Diploma (SFHD). I went on to achieve my Hypnotherapy in Practice Diploma (HPD). The HPD has been externally validated and accredited by NCFE as having measurable learning outcomes that have been benchmarked at Level 4 (using Ofqual’s Qualification and Credit Framework [QCF] level descriptors). I also have a BSc (Hons) in Criminology & Psychological Studies.
Continuing my development I am now completing the Advanced Hypnotherapy Diploma (AHD). The AHD is accredited by the NCFE as having measurable learning outcomes that have been benchmarked at Level 5 (using Ofqual’s QCF level descriptors). At present (2023), the AHD is the highest award in Hypnotherapy.
Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
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.
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.
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.
