Qualified and experienced as a Solution-Focused Hypnotherapist and Integrative Psychotherapist, I specialise in helping people just like you and have proven success in helping people overcome fears and phobias, depression, anxiety and more.

So let's make time to talk about what’s troubling you. The therapies and support I provide have helped many people make the positive transformational changes they seek, improving their quality of life and wellbeing.

When working together, you will receive personalised, specialist support. My approach is compassionate and calm, empathetic and non-judgemental, allowing you to experience the safe and accepting space to realise your full potential. Your personal, carefully designed step-by-step plan gets you to where you want to be and helps you strengthen and master new and long-forgotten skills, helping you develop greater confidence, resilience, and improved sense of self-worth.

Member organisations
The CNHC encompasses many types of alternative therapy, including hypnotherapy.
In order to be admitted to the register a practitioner must have studied to the National Occupational Standards for that profession/discipline, or have reached the equivalent of the National Occupational Standards through other relevant training or at least three years of experience and been assessed by their peers.
A practitioner must also have professional insurance and agree to abide by the CNHC Code of Conduct, Performance and Ethics.
The National Hypnotherapy Society is a Learned Society whose primary purpose is the advancement of the knowledge of hypnotherapy and the fostering of professional hypnotherapy expertise through training, accreditation and continued professional development of their members. The Society seeks to contribute to public wellbeing both through the use of hypnotherapy and by ensuring that hypnotherapists are safe, competent and ethical in practice.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

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.
