About me

I have over twenty years experience as a hypnotherapist and I offer online hypnotherapy to help with many issues including anxiety, depression, panic attacks, stress, fears, phobias, and weight loss, as well as with childbirth, alcohol abuse, addictions and habits.

Being online means I can work with people all over the English speaking world which is amazing. Also, you do not have to worry about travelling, parking etc. We can work together from the comfort of your own home or private office space.

I always offer a free initial consultation either online or by telephone so that I can take a full history, not just about why you are seeking help, but a broader history. There are two different approaches I can take according to need; Clinical or Analytical Hypnotherapy.

Clinical Hypnotherapy treats symptoms, habits and all kinds of fears. Analytical Hypnotherapy treats the root cause of these issues. Sometimes, a problem is just too deep rooted for Clinical Hypnotherapy and Pure Hypno-Analysis (a very special kind of Analytical Hypnotherapy) is wonderful at resolving them.

The initial consultation allows me to recommend the right approach for you. Please be assured, there is never any pressure to make a decision then and there; you can take time to have a think about it and make an informed choice. It also gives you a chance to chat with me with no obligation to find out how/why Hypnotherapy works so well and how it could work for you.

I have successfully worked with clients all over the UK and beyond for many years, helping them to change their lives in ways they often thought would not be possible – or as easy!

I regularly receive referrals from the medical profession; GP’s, Specialists and Consultants who have seen the positive changes hypnotherapy has created in their patients. I also get many referrals from past clients. It is fantastic to see these positive changes and makes being a hypnotherapist so worthwhile!


Book your free initial consultation. You can book this yourself on my website calendar or you can call or email to arrange.

The initial consultation is very informal. Or you may have some questions you would like to ask first? Clients have told me that they find me friendly, professional and very empathetic.

Training, qualifications & experience

I have a Diploma in Hypnotherapy & Hypno-Analysis – gained through continuous study and training with the Hypnotherapy Control Board (Europe’s largest Hypnotherapy school), and I am also a Member of the International Association of pure Hypno Analysts (MIAPH), which was established in 1981, and is probably the largest group of Analytical Hypnotherapists in existence.

The Hypnotherapy Control board is the only school which teaches Pure Hypno Analysis. I am also a Clinical Hypnotherapist, a licensed NLP Practitioner (Neuro Linguistic Programming) and hold counselling, teaching and coaching qualifications.

I am also qualified to administer the Myers Briggs Type Index (MBTI) - a powerful psychological personality type profile used for personal development and growth - and I am registered with the Oxford Psychology Group.

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.

Other areas of hypnotherapy I deal with

Along with my successful weight loss programme and smoking cessation sessions, one of my main areas of expertise is on treating underlying or deep rooted anxiety and all it's related symptoms, whether it be fears and phobias, addictions or habits, depression or panic attacks, or sexual dysfunction, low self-esteem etc.

I have helped clients with all of the common phobias and some more unusual ones too - tokophobia, genophobia, vaginismus, trypanophobia, thanatophobia, emetophobia. The good news is that all phobias can all be treated.

HYPNOBIRTHING (Hypnosis for Childbirth)

I have also published a Hypnosis for Childbirth programme which consists of 4 recordings's, a video and a booklet. This is available to purchase as an electronic download from my website. Feedback has been wonderful! We are working on an App as you read this.

HYPNOSIS FOR CHILDREN

I work with children from the age of about 5 onwards. Children suffer all kinds of issues stemming from anxiety - separation anxiety, nightmares, toilet issues, behavioural issues, hair pulling, tummy problems, shyness, fear of dogs, lightening ... the list goes on.

They respond incredibly well to hypnotherapy. I use lots of story work with children, packed with metaphors to help to calm things down.

Many parents and classroom assistants/teachers have noticed huge improvements and positive change.

Further information

WEIGHT LOSS - I don't offer Gastric Band Hypnotherapy as I believe that to sustain weight loss it is important to change your eating habits to sustainable healthy one - changing what you eat, how much you eat it, and when you eat it.

My Clinical Hypnotherapy personalised, weight loss programme, like my other hypnotherapy sessions, utilises the power of your subconscious mind to make it incredibly easy to make these changes, to completely re-educate you to get back in touch with your body and to eat the right foods, to eat only as much as you need to, and only when you need to! No need for unsustainable drastic under-eating which is only likely to result in the weight piling back. 

I also give you a link to a weight loss recording to listen to both during the programme and afterwards until you reach your desired weight or size - it is always there for the future, should any bad habits begin to creep back in - you just listen to it again and keep on track!

Occasionally, for some people, where weight has been a life long challenge, Pure Hypno Analysis is more suitable to get to, and eliminate, the root cause of their damaging relationship with food.

Contact me to arrange a free initial consultation online or by telephone to find out more.
