About me
I specialise in helping teenagers manage stress, anxiety, and pressure so they can feel calm, confident, and able to perform at their best.
With 16 years’ experience teaching psychology, I combine a deep understanding of how the brain learns, remembers, and responds to stress with solution-focused hypnotherapy. My approach helps teenagers develop practical mental skills to stay calm, think clearly, and build lasting confidence — not just for now, but for future challenges too.
Sessions provide a supportive, encouraging space where young people learn how to quiet anxious thoughts, improve focus, and strengthen resilience.
All sessions are held online, with links sent after booking.
In-person appointments in the Bristol and Bath areas are available on request.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a BSc in Psychology and a PGCE in Psychology, alongside specialist training in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy with Clifton Practice Hypnotherapy Training (CPHT).
I am qualified with the Diploma in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (DSFH) and the Hypnotherapy in Practice Diploma (HPD), recognised as the gold standard in clinical hypnotherapy training.
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 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.
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.

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.

Further information
My work focuses on giving teenagers practical mental skills they can use immediately.
Sessions combine solution-focused hypnotherapy with simple psychology-based strategies so teenager’s learn how to:
• calm the stress response
• stay calm and focused
• improve recall under pressure
• sleep better
• build lasting confidence in their abilities
Because teenagers understand why these techniques work, they leave with tools they can use throughout school, university, and future challenges.
