About me

Hi,

Anxiety, self-doubt, overwhelm, the fear of not being good enough and self-sabotaging thoughts are states of mind and body that can dent your self-confidence, physical wellness and happiness.

When you learn how to overcome/manage these difficulties, you learn an incredibly important skill.

I would be very privileged to work with you so that you can live your life lighter and unburden yourself of unnecessary and unhelpful thoughts feelings or behaviours.

Cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy is a practical, evidence-based short-term therapy which looks at what maintains your anxiety, fear, nervous habit or other difficulty you face in place, and shows you the way out.

It gives you effective strategies to reduce/stop stress, anxiety, self-doubt, procrastination, overwhelm, imposter syndrome, fear, phobias, pain and compulsive nervous habits. This is not an exhaustive list!

Certain thoughts, feelings or actions keep you stuck where you are because you don’t have the keys to recognise, challenge or change them. You lose confidence and feel lost as to how to get back to being you again.

When you unravel what is happening with the help of a CB hypnotherapist you can quite quickly turn around your limiting beliefs, unwanted behaviours and scary feelings. 

When you use the deeply relaxed hypnotic mindset to your advantage, you swap current unhelpful thoughts feelings, and behaviours for more self-loving ones that revitalize, and lead to more self-assured behaviour. The positive upward spiral can begin!

You discover a practical toolbox of mind skills you can use in your life whenever you need it. You know how to maintain greater control, calm and confidence in the face of life’s ups and downs.

We work together as a team, you know yourself very well already and we can draw on your vast experience during our sessions. I use a creative blend of cognitive behavioural therapy, hypnotherapy, relaxation and mindfulness. 

I also offer astrological counselling which helps you understand and place your current challenges within the greater context of your life.

My particular area of expertise and specialisation is with clients who suffer with compulsive hair-pulling (trichotillomania) or skin picking. I have also gained considerable experience working with clients who have FND (Functional neurological disorder)

Online and Face to Face individual sessions

I work online giving you the freedom to have treatment from wherever you’re based. I’m bilingual in French and English and so am fortunate to have clients from the UK, Europe and all over the world.

When I'm in the UK, I also offer Face to Face sessions in Teddington.

If you are ready to take the next step or have any questions, please send me an email or give me a call on 07862 822063.

Testimonial

Smoking Cessation 

I found the combination of Morag's practical business approach and her emotional/spiritual empathy very reassuring.  I felt she understood my addiction, but gently and firmly guided me into a conviction that quitting was the best thing to do.   The preliminary session in which Morag understands the particular nature of your addiction meant that she could tailor the hypnotherapy and the CBT for an individually-focused approach.   The follow-up session was also very helpful and she checked up on me a month on so it really felt that she was invested in helping me change for good.

Quitting smoking with Morag has been an enormous relief and liberation from being controlled by my habit.   I have so much more time and no more worries about my health.   I can honestly say that I haven't had to fight - it feels like something in my subconscious was altered.   

                      -----------------------------------------------------

FND 

The whole process was so reassuring. Morag had previous experience with clients with FND and was already competent at dealing with it. She intuitively knew what to say and had an in-depth idea of what my particular struggles were and how to assist in my recovery. She recorded our sessions and supplied me with those and other recordings, which helped enormously. She is friendly, easy to talk to, non-judgmental, and has a warm, humourous outlook, which I took to right away. She helped with my movement disorder and migraines, and my condition improved tenfold. I will forever be grateful.“

"Morag has a calm perceptive presence which is reassuring and what you need in times of crisis or periods of unease. She is extremely perceptive making it easier for you to understand and find solutions for particular issues"

Low mood anxiety

"The sessions via video were a strong point as I felt at ease in a chosen, comfortable, familiar, space. She is gentle, professional, and an extremely good listener; I felt in very safe hands. Hypnosis is wrongly advertised as a loss of control at the hands of the practitioner when it’s quite the opposite. The tools, the keys, or the options are within ourselves and Morag is the perfect person to help us find and apply them. I can highly recommend her as a therapist."

Hairpulling Trichotillomania

Morag will show you the way if you are prepared to put the work in. I found her to have a rare understanding of the mindset of someone with Trich and thank her for creating the programme, it really is life changing.

Pain

I suffer from chronic back pain. Throughout a challenging year full of various medical appointments, examinations and tests with different practitioners – she’s been the only one who has guided me and enabled me to find the tools of self-control and pain management within me. The sessions via video were a strong point as I felt at ease in a chosen, comfortable, familiar, space. She is gentle, professional, and an extremely good listener; I felt in very safe hands. Hypnosis is wrongly advertised as a loss of control at the hands of the practitioner when it’s quite the opposite. The tools, the keys, or the options are within ourselves and Morag is the perfect person to help us find and apply them. I can highly recommend her as a therapist .
