About me

I help people who feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, stress, overthinking, poor sleep, and emotional overwhelm.

Many of my clients appear to be coping well on the outside, yet internally feel constantly “on alert” — struggling to switch off, relax fully, or feel calm in their own mind.

Using Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, I help clients understand how stress and anxiety affect the brain and nervous system, and how those patterns can begin to change in a practical, structured, and supportive way.

Clients often seek support for:

• Anxiety and overthinking
• Stress and burnout
• Panic attacks and health anxiety
• Sleep problems and insomnia
• Confidence and self-esteem
• Performance pressure and public speaking
• Fears and phobias

Alongside emotional wellbeing, many clients notice improvements in sleep, focus, emotional resilience, confidence, and overall quality of life as therapy progresses.

I offer sessions both in person in Peterborough and online across the UK.

Training, qualifications & experience

hold a Diploma in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (DSFH) and trained with the Clifton Practice Hypnotherapy Training (CPHT), one of the UK’s leading hypnotherapy training organisations.

Alongside my clinical training, I bring more than 30 years of experience in management and coaching roles within both local and global organisations.

This background gives me a strong understanding of the pressures many people experience in modern life — including stress, anxiety, performance pressure, burnout, overthinking, and the difficulty many people have in truly switching off.

My approach is calm, practical, supportive, and focused on helping clients move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

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.

Other areas of hypnotherapy I deal with

I also support clients experiencing:

• Burnout and mental exhaustion
• Overthinking and racing thoughts
• Work-related stress and pressure
• Emotional overwhelm
• Low confidence and self-doubt
• Performance anxiety
• Sleep disruption linked to stress and anxiety

Many clients describe feeling mentally busy, emotionally drained, or unable to fully relax, even when they are physically exhausted.

My work focuses on helping clients calm the mind, regulate stress responses, and create healthier long-term patterns rather than simply managing symptoms day to day.
