About me

Imagine waking up feeling rested...
With a quieter mind and more confidence in your ability to handle whatever the day brings.

Perhaps right now that feels a long way off. You may be overthinking, struggling to switch off, sleeping badly or finding that anxiety is getting in the way.

You might even know logically that you're okay — but your brain doesn't always seem to agree.

There's a reason for that. And understanding what's happening can be the first step towards changing it.

How Solution Focused Hypnotherapy Helps
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy combines neuroscience, positive conversation and hypnosis to help your brain develop more helpful patterns of thought and response.

Rather than dwelling on what's gone wrong, we focus on what you want life to look and feel like instead — and the small changes that can help you move towards it.

That might mean sleeping better, feeling calmer and more confident, overcoming something that's been holding you back or simply feeling more like yourself again.

Your Next Step
I offer a free initial consultation — a relaxed opportunity to talk about what's happening, what you'd like to change and whether this approach feels right for you.

Training, qualifications & experience

I hold a Diploma in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (DSFH) and trained with Clifton Practice Hypnotherapy Training (CPHT).

Before establishing Calm Thought, I spent more than 30 years in leadership, coaching and people development roles within national and global organisations. Much of my career involved supporting people through change, managing pressure and building confidence.

That experience shapes the way I work today. I combine Solution Focused Hypnotherapy with neuroscience and a practical understanding of what it can feel like to live and work under pressure.

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.

What my clients say...

“From start to finish I have noticed so many positive changes in my sleep and my overall mindset.

I feel so much happier now that I’m getting good sleep and not stressing the small things in life.”
