About me

I specialize in working at the subconscious level to help you break free from limiting beliefs and create lasting, positive change.

If you feel held back by anxious thoughts, overwhelmed by stress, or stuck in unwanted habits, you are not alone. 
Many of my clients come to me when traditional talk therapies haven't quite reached the root of the problem. So, together we will calm your nervous system and reframe your automated responses, leaving you feeling calm, confident, and in control.

I regularly help clients navigate:

Anxiety & Stress Management: Reducing panic, managing everyday overwhelm, and building genuine internal resilience.

Habits & Outgrown Behaviours: Breaking cycles, such as smoking, drinking, emotional eating, teeth grinding and nail biting.

Confidence & Performance: Overcoming low self-esteem to achieve your current and future goals. 

Sleep Disturbances: Quieting a racing mind at night to restore deep, natural sleep patterns.

Managing physical pain: Taking the conscious focus away from everyday aches and pains.

What to Expect in a Session:

Your comfort and safety are my top priorities. Hypnotherapy is a collaborative process where you remain fully aware, in control, and entirely safe throughout.

Tailored Hypnosis: I guide you into a comfortable, deeply relaxed state of focused attention (similar to daydreaming). While your body rests, your subconscious mind becomes highly receptive to positive, constructive suggestions.

Integration: We ground the work, ensuring you leave each session with practical insights and tools to use in your daily life.

My style is warm, non-judgmental, and for your peace of mind, I am a fully qualified and registered member of the GHSC Professional Body of which I strictly adhere to their verified Code of Ethics.

Ready to Take back Control?

Taking the first step can feel very daunting, which is why I offer a totally free, no-obligation 1 hour consultation. This gives us a chance to connect, discuss what you are looking for, and see if we are a good fit to work together.

I look forward to supporting you on your journey.

Member organisations

GHR
The General Hypnotherapy Register (GHR)

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.

Areas of hypnotherapy I deal with

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.
