About me
Hi I'm Linda, welcome - taking the first step matters - Finding the right person to support you and help you make changes, is incredibly important, so thank you for being here.
My Approach ~ I have a down-to-earth, supportive approach to therapy, creating a safe, non-judgemental space where you can feel at ease. It’s essential to me that every client feels comfortable speaking openly about whatever may be troubling them.
My Focus Areas ~
- anxiety
- overthinking
- ruminating
that leave you feeling isolated or “stuck in your head”- a phrase I hear often.
Weight Loss ~ I know from a lived experience of being over 15 stone just how weight hits our confidence daily, affects our health and mobility and has an impact on how we feel in our relationships.
I offer a full non-medical weight loss programme, but I embrace what works for you!!
I am seeing many people who have had great results with the "Jab" but just don't want to stay on it long term.
I also help people titrate down from GLP-1. They are feeling great about their changes, but now need to retrain their thoughts, emotions, and - most importantly - their relationship with food. This creates lasting habits and supports you in building the life you’ve worked so hard for.
Many people don't fully understand just how debilitating living with a fear or phobia can be on a daily basis.
Emetophobia (the fear of vomiting) often develops after an upsetting experience in childhood, such as becoming ill on a school trip or during a journey. As an adult, it can lead to constant anxiety around germs, bugs, and illness, with a heightened awareness of anything that might make someone unwell.
Arachnophobia (the fear of spiders) can be so overwhelming that it prevents people from entering places like garden sheds or garages. I once worked with a client who couldn't even watch I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! because it triggered intense panic. She now messages me every year to tell me how much she enjoys the show.
Fear of flying can stop people from travelling, creating memories, and fully experiencing life with their family and loved ones.
Claustrophobia, social anxiety, and many other phobias can keep people in a constant state of high alert, affecting their confidence, wellbeing, and everyday choices.
Phobias are much more than simply "being scared" of something. They are real, powerful fears that can have a significant impact on daily life, but with the right support, things can change.
My role is to help you gently move forward in the areas of life that are challenging you.
Together, we focus on small, meaningful changes that are simple, practical, and lasting - helping you feel calmer, more in control, and better able to handle whatever life brings. We can also work on accessing and updating old subconscious patterns that may no longer serve you.
I’ve been in practice since 2006, bringing over 20 years of professional experience alongside real-life understanding. My own journey - including experiences with grief, loss, giving up a 40-a-day smoking habit, and struggles with weight - helps me genuinely relate to the challenges many people face. Alongside this,
My therapy style is Solution Focused Therapy (SFT), combined with Clinical and Cognitive Hypnotherapy. I am also a Master NLP Practitioner and incorporate techniques from EFT, EMDR, and CBT where appropriate. My training includes work with the Speakmans and Paul McKenna, with a special focus on fast phobia and trauma support.
We all deserve to live our best life.
So take that first step - and take the leap.
