About me
Do you need to change something about your life. Perhaps you want to move on from feeling anxious.
I am a fully qualified hypnotherapist and have been helping people for over 10 years. I use Hypnotherapy, NLP Techniques and Third Wave CBT Mindfulness Techniques.
The NHS recommends that you work with hypnotherapists who, like me, are CNHC registered.
We all have different life experiences so I tailor treatment to you based on your needs whether it's with suggestion hypnotherapy, solution focused therapy, hypno-psychotherapy or ericksonian hypnosis.
I am experienced at helping people with a wide variety of issues including the following:
Anxiety (including panic attacks)
Phobias (including fear of flying)
Depression
Insomnia
Eating problems (including overeating and binge eating)
Low self confidence (low self-esteem)
Relationship issues
Stopping Smoking (quit smoking)
Performance issues (particularly public speaking).
Men's issues (male sexual problems)
Blushing
Please give me a call to talk it through with me or to ask any questions you may have about hypnotherapy.
I am available on weekdays and at weekends. Please do call me on 07764 837176 if you want the know how to tap into your own amazing resources for change.

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 Council for Hypnotherapy holds one of the largest registers of independent Hypnotherapists in the United Kingdom and strives to maintain the highest standards among its members.
There is an agreed Code of Conduct, an established Complaints & Disciplinary Procedure and all members are obliged to maintain comprehensive Public Liability & Professional Indemnity Insurance, maintain regular CPD (continuing professional development) hours, and attend Supervision when needed.

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).

Areas of hypnotherapy I deal with
info 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.
