About me
Hello I’m Morag…
My Solution focused hypnotherapy and Integrative Counselling practice is based in Wellington and I have online clients too. I work with both adults and children.
I completed my training as a clinical hypnotherapist at the renowned Clifton Practice in Bristol, in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, and gained my diploma in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy from there. I also gained my Pactitioners Diploma from the National Council for Hypnotherapy, known as the gold standard in hypnotherapy training.
I have an honours degree in psychology and an advanced diploma in Integrative Counselling.
I also have decades of experience helping people to improve their lives, having managed a number of mental health and addiction projects, residential care projects for homeless persons, as well as teaching roles in various different countries around the world.
On a personal level I have experienced serious injuries and spinal surgery following road traffic accidents and ongoing chronic pain. I also experienced ovarian cancer and the surgeries, chemotherapy and loss that comes with that.
I believe life brings us many hurdles and challenges, but we do have a choice in how we will deal with those to ensure we get the very best out of our lives...
Solution Focused hypnotherapy has helped me in so many ways and seeing the positive changes my clients make in such a short time is testament to its success.
Please feel free to contact me for an informal chat…

Member organisations
BACP is a professional association for members of the counselling professions in the UK.
Hypnotherapists may become members of the General Hypnotherapy Register if they satisfy certain criteria with regard to both training and ongoing requirements as determined from time to time by the General Hypnotherapy Standards Council (GHSC). Members are either registered at Practitioner status (which confirms that the GHR acknowledges their qualification to practice), or Affiliate status. Although Affiliate level registrants will have completed a sufficient number of training hours to equip them to commence seeing clients on a limited basis, the GHR does not acknowledge them to have yet been trained to full practitioner level. All GHR Registered Practitioners are required to accept the published Code of Ethics and Complaints & Disciplinary Procedure.
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 Association for Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (AfSFH) was set up to provide information about a modern form of Hypnotherapy and its associated benefits to members of the public. The main aim of the AfSFH is to spread awareness of the benefits of Solution Focused Hypnotherapy. Its secondary aim is to support Hypnotherapists in their businesses by encouraging good practice and self-care.
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.

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.
