About me

Since qualifying in 2016, I have helped clients make lasting positive changes using an evidence-based, supportive approach to hypnotherapy.

I specialise in helping adults with:

Anxiety and stress
Panic and excessive worry
Social confidence
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
Smoking and vaping cessation
Habits and unwanted behaviours
Confidence and performance anxiety
Exam or test nerves

My approach integrates hypnotherapy with cognitive behavioural techniques, helping you understand how thoughts, emotions and habits interact so change feels practical, achievable and long-lasting.

Sessions are tailored to your individual needs. Rather than endlessly analysing problems, we focus on identifying what is maintaining the difficulty and building effective strategies to move forward.

Hypnotherapy is a collaborative process. You remain in control throughout, and treatment is designed to help you feel calmer, more confident, and better able to manage challenges.

I work with adults and older teenagers (16+), offering a professional, confidential and non-judgemental space.

If you are ready to make a positive change, I would be pleased to help.

Training, qualifications & experience

I trained with the London Hypnotherapy Academy and have been a qualified hypnotherapist since 2018. I am a registered member of the National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH), one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for hypnotherapists.

Before qualifying in hypnotherapy, I built an extensive background in psychology, education and research. I hold an Honours degree and a Master’s degree in Psychology, together with Qualified Teacher Status, and have spent many years working in psychology and teaching psychological science.

I was also awarded a PhD in Psychology from Goldsmiths, University of London. My doctoral research focused on anxiety and pregnancy, giving me advanced expertise in anxiety, behaviour change and emotional wellbeing.

Alongside my clinical work, I continue to update my professional knowledge through ongoing continuing professional development (CPD), including training in therapy approaches, psychological wellbeing and evidence-based practice.

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.
