About me
Hello, I'm Pete and I have worked as a Hypnotherapist for over 30 years.
Most of my work involves helping people to overcome anxiety, phobia, and the effects of trauma. I also have a special interest in helping people to recover from controlling and abusive relationships.
Therapy with me is a collaboration- I will be helping you to help yourself.
Most clients notice an improvement following their first session, although it occasionally takes longer. If there’s an approach to your problem that has strong scientific backing or that I’ve used successfully before with many clients, then I will use that first. If that doesn’t help then I can more creative and innovative.
My therapy is based on a knowledge of first principles and tailored to your individual needs. I have helped many people whom other therapists were unable to help, especially those with a history of abusive and controlling relationships.
If you would like to book an appointment or discuss how I can help, please call or email.
Training, qualifications & experience
- 30 years experience working as a Hypnotherapist.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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).

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
- Recovery from controlling relationships
I have a positively affirmative attitude towards all forms of sexual expression, so long as they are risk-aware and consensual between adults.
