About me

Many people have come to see me feeling stuck, overwhelmed by stress, struggling with anger, or caught in patterns of addiction that no longer serve them. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

Before becoming a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist, I spent 20 years working in the security industry. It was a high pressure environment, managing teams, juggling demanding clients, meeting deadlines, and carrying responsibility day in, day out. Like many people, when the stress built up, I looked for ways to switch off. For me, that often meant heading to the pub until it quietly became a habit rather than an occasional release.

Throughout my adult life, my relationship with alcohol was complicated, and stress played a huge part in that. Training as a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist gave me practical, science based tools to manage stress more effectively. That shift didn’t just improve my work life balance it transformed my relationship with alcohol, with other people, and most importantly, with myself.

I combine the Solution Focused approach with a down to earth style and a touch of humour, so sessions feel supportive, human, and practical not like another thing on your to do list.

Hi Peter, just wanted to say thank you. Since our sessions, I’ve been getting better each week. My confidence has grown, especially at work I even got a promotion! Without your help, I’d be in a very different place today.

Client Success Story 

Having 'suffered' with stress and anxiety both at the workplace and at home, Peter was recommended to me by a work colleague who he had helped previously and praised him highly.  Starting off with a general consultation the session focused on Peter getting a base line of my current situation, my mood, my state of mind, my actions and so on.  It was nice to just be able to get loads of things off my chest! The following 6 weeks consisted of an hour session once a week. All of these session focused on Peter helping me see the good in life, analysing the things I have done over the previous week to understand and pluck out things for me to see. I learnt how the brain works in different ways and that certain situations and thought processes all affect the brain to produce different chemicals which impact the way I think, feel and behave. Thank you Peter for all the help! Onwards and upwards! 

Client Success Story 

When I started hypnotherapy with Peter I was a bit anxious as I thought it was like you see on TV but Peter took the time to explain what happens and the theory of how it works to me. He has a calming voice and I trust him completely. Peter listened to my goals. 1 was increased confidence. Within just a few sessions I felt more confident. My boss noticed it and things that I normally would be stressed about aren't affecting me as much. Definitely try hypnotherapy with Peter!
