About me

I offer online hypnotherapy for anxiety, overwhelm, and habits—helping you gently reconnect with yourself. For many of us, especially within the neurodivergent community, it can be difficult to tune into our true selves when the world around us pressures us to be someone different. It can leave us feeling lost, trying to find the answers by searching for a way of living that finally feels "right."

Perhaps you have followed all the advice and tried every strategy, yet somehow you still feel like you’re falling short. Often, that is simply because those paths weren't designed for your brain to begin with.

Hypnotherapy is not prescriptive; it does not ask you to be anything other than yourself. Instead, it is a kinder way of listening inwards and asking yourself who you would like to be. It’s a space to slow things down, tune into what’s going on beneath the surface, and begin making changes in a way that feels authentic to you.

I provide a calm, no-pressure environment where you can speak openly and feel truly heard and seen. You don't have to perform or "get it right" here; we work at your pace, giving you the time to explore and process. I offer these sessions online via video call, allowing you to access support from the comfort and safety of your own home. I’ve found this can help ease the initial anxiety of accessing therapy and provides greater flexibility in scheduling.

I understand that seeking out a therapist can be difficult to navigate, and it is vital to find someone who is the right fit for you. Because of this, I offer a free 50-60 minute initial consultation. This is a dedicated space for us to meet so you can decide if I am someone you feel comfortable with before committing to further sessions. It is also an opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have regarding hypnotherapy and how a tailored, "listening in" approach could help you achieve your goals.

If this feels like the right path for you, feel free to get in touch to find out more or to book your initial consultation. If you would prefer a brief chat over the phone first, please feel free to reach out.

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.

Fees

£60.00 per session
Free initial telephone or online session

Additional information

The free initial consultation will consist of a brief assessment of your presenting issue as well as an opportunity to ask questions prior to agreeing to therapy sessions. The information discussed will allow me to provide an estimate of how many sessions would be appropriate, but this could change and also will consider the client’s preferences. There is no expectation that you should return for further sessions, this is purely an opportunity to discuss your presenting issue and whether you would be comfortable moving forward with me as your therapist.

I currently provide hypnotherapy solely online. Therefore it is important you have an area you can ensure your own comfort and privacy. Online sessions mean I can offer greater flexibility regarding session times and I have found that people often feel more comfortable accessing therapy within their own environment.
