About me

I am an experienced full time Hypnotherapist, treating all types of presenting problem in my own private and comfortable treatment room in Weston super Mare. I am also a trainer and supervisor for other hypnotherapists.

Hypnotherapy is a powerful tool for change, it is relaxing, effective and changes often start from the first session. You will enjoy a relaxing experience while you progress towards your goal!

I was a listening Samaritan for seven years, I recognise that people need to be heard and supported to find a way through to solving their problems. I studied Psychotherapeutic Counselling and use these person-centred approaches along with hypnosis to work with you to meet your goals. MP3 recordings and techniques for you to use at home are included whenever possible.

Why Hypnotherapy? All through my teens and into my adult life, I had experienced symptoms of generalised anxiety; a sick feeling when I woke in the morning and unexplained feelings of panic and dread. As I studied hypnotherapy, I experienced the power and the speed of using hypnosis and I was hooked!  I have never had those anxious, out-of-control feelings since. I continued on my Psychotherapeutic  Counselling Diploma and I am able to use those techniques too with my clients, but I was blown away by the simplicity and the results I saw with hypnosis and knew this was going to be the method I would want to share.

I worked in Adult Education and Training for many years before having my family.   I taught adults with learning disabilities and then planned and evaluated services which employ and train them. I also worked with children in Special Schools throughout North Somerset. Until recently, I was teaching on a Hypnotherapy Diploma for the UK’s largest therapy training provider Chrysalis. I especially loved the group demonstrations of hypnosis I got to do.  I personalise my approach to the person I have in front of me and I work hard with the client to bring about the change and balance they want.

I am experienced in working with children and young adults too, and I am happy to discuss the suitability of hypnotherapy for your child. My approach and my homely non-clinical room is ideal for putting even young children at ease. Hypnotherapy is excellent for helping children overcome phobias and anxieties and prepare for exams and performances.

I offer FREE consultations so that you can meet me and discuss how we would work together before you make your decision.
