About me

I am a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist and work with clients to become the best version of themselves - to make positive changes to their mental health, lifestyle, or performance - in fact, wherever they feel they want to think, feel or do better. 

I can help with stress, anxiety, depression, overwhelm, anger, phobias, confidence, self-esteem, performance enhancement, IBS, pain management, weight management and more. I work with my clients to help them with that they want to achieve - finding the solution, rather than focussing on the problem. 

Training, qualifications & experience

I worked as a Solicitor, Broadcast Journalist and Video Producer before going back to my academic roots (a degree in Psychology and a Master degree in Neurobiology) to retrain as a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist with the prestigious Clifton Practice. I wanted to combine my fascination with how the brain works with a therapeutic approach that genuinely helps people to think, feel and do better - in whatever aspect of life they want to improve. 

Through the Clifton Practice I gained the Hypnotherapy Diploma (HPD), and the Diploma in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (DSFH). 

I am fully insured and registered with the National Hypnotherapy Council, the Association for Solution Focused Hypnotherapists, and the Complimentary and Natural Healthcare Council, and work within industry professional, ethical and statutory frameworks. 

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 specialise in helping equestrians with loss of confidence in riding, and also enhancing performance in competition. 

Therapies offered

Additional information

The Initial Consultation is free, where we discuss what it is you are seeking help for, your goals, aspirations and why you're feeling as you do (including an explanation of the brain), and how I can help. You will also receive a guided relaxation MP3 audio file to take away. 

I offer a group session discount of 6 sessions (plus free Initial Consultation) for £350. 

Further information

I work with clients in a collaborative way, focussing on the present and the future, not the past. We explore their preferred future through a series of solution-oriented questions, uncovering goals to work towards.
