About me
I am a Clinical Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapeutic Counsellor specialising in anxiety, stress and confidence. I work with adults and young people, offering hypnotherapy, counselling or an integrated approach depending on what feels most appropriate for you.
My approach is personalised, collaborative and pluralistic. Rather than using one fixed method, I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches and hypnotherapy techniques to help you understand what may be contributing to how you feel, develop practical ways of coping and work towards meaningful change.
People come to me for support with concerns including anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, confidence, feeling overwhelmed, difficult life changes, fears and phobias, and feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns. Sessions are shaped around you, your goals and the way you prefer to work.
I offer face-to-face sessions from my private therapy room in New Milton, Hampshire, as well as online sessions across the UK. I currently also have limited availability at The Parkstone Practice in Poole.
If you are unsure whether hypnotherapy, counselling or a combination of both would suit you, I offer a free online consultation where we can discuss what you are experiencing and the different ways we might work together.
