About me

Hi, I'm Kerry!

I work with people who are struggling with a mental or physical issue that means that life can feel like a daily battle.

I help them to understand how their brain works so that they can take back control from negative thoughts or behaviour patterns, enabling them to reduce stress and anxiety, boost their resilience and create long lasting positive changes in their lives.

As someone who has experienced the challenges of being a military wife, family bereavement and post-natal depression, I know the value that the solution focused model brings, creating a positive mindset that helps us to cope with and adapt to change and to be the best version of ourselves, whatever life has in store.

Solution focused hypnotherapy is effective at helping with:

  • Anxiety
  • Overwhelm
  • Stress
  • Depression
  • Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
  • Low Confidence and Self Esteem
  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
  • Fears and Phobias
  • Sleep Problems
  • Chronic Pain
  • Quitting smoking

I also particularly enjoy supporting new and expectant parents to prioritise their mental wellbeing, helping to create a calm pregnancy and birth experience, and supporting people through into resilient parenting. To support people in these areas I also help with:

  • Fertility Issues
  • Hypnobirthing
  • Perinatal mental health issues
  • Postnatal depression 
  • Parental overwhelm and burnout

I am passionate about helping my clients to minimise anxiety and overwhelm and boost confidence and self-esteem, for both themselves and for their families.

Are you ready to discover who you can really be? 

Client Success Story ...

"I chose to see a hypnotherapist because I had been having panic attacks when driving on the motorway, and I wanted to work on that. After the first meeting with Kerry, I realised I would benefit from some help with general anxiety as well as panic attacks on the motorway.

Straight away, it felt like I was doing something good for myself, Kerry was calm and friendly, and she took me through the process and what to expect step by step. I found the educational parts of the session fascinating. Her positive encouragement and reassurance kept me feeling like I was moving in the right direction.

I’m now much more relaxed, confident, and optimistic than I was before. I can drive on the motorway and have learnt many skills to implement for future journeys. Sharing the ‘what’s been goods’ was always a lovely experience and something I’ll continue to keep a record of."

Client Success Stories ...

“I was suffering with some OCD and anxiety, I was feeling very lost and suffering with low self-esteem.

I was so nervous about going to the consultation, but from the moment I met Kerry, she made me feel at ease. I looked forward to our sessions each week and loved learning new techniques on how to deal with my feelings and how to process my thoughts.

I now feel more in control of my thoughts and feelings. I have incorporated the information and ideas given in to my day to day life. I am happier in myself.

Trying hypnotherapy was the best decision I’d made in a very long time!! Taking back control of my life and feeling emotionally lighter and happier!”

Anon, Burnham-on-Sea

“I was suddenly experiencing a hike in my anxiety levels which would make me feel nauseous all of the time and hinder my ability to do much or attend much without feeling awkward or uncomfortable. I chose hypnotherapy because I was struggling to know what else to do.

Working with Kerry has been easy and comforting. She’s welcoming, approachable, and easy to talk to. It was great to have the option of online session on Zoom, they were really helpful in the instances a face-face session wasn’t possible. 

I found the scientific explanations in particular really useful in helping to understand why certain physical responses were taking shape in the way that they were. I always felt very calm after a session which meant I slept well!

If you’re thinking of trying hypnotherapy I say, give it a go! Attend an introduction with Kerry to discuss how it might help you and see if it resonates.”
