About me
I have extensive experience in helping individuals overcome their personal challenges, whether anxiety, depression, anger, phobias, smoking/vaping, weight loss or many other issues.
Fully insured and holding an Enhanced DBS certificate for working with adults and children, I am a member of the National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH), the Association for Solution-Focused Hypnotherapists (AfSFH), and the Complimentary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC).
My approach is compassionate, empathetic, completely judgement-free and I am committed to creating a space where you can feel safe for us to work together in a therapeutic alliance to help you reach your desired outcome.
Based in Brighton, UK, I offer treatments online nationally and worldwide, plus run in-person clinics at therapy hubs throughout Brighton, Hove and London.
In-person home Visits are also available by special arrangement (extra charges may apply).
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold both the Hypnotherapy in Practise Diploma (HPD) and the Diploma in Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy (DSFH) earned with the esteemed Clifton Practise Hypnotherapy Training school and have extensive experience in the treatment of Anxiety, Stress, PTSD, Phobias, Smoking/Vaping, Weight Management and Pain Control, among other issues.
I hold an Enhanced DBS, plus undertake frequent CPD sessions to expand my remit and also undergo supervision and peer support on a regular basis.
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.
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.
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.
