About me

As an integrative therapist, professional hypnotherapist and EMDR practitioner, I adapt approaches and techniques from different types of therapy to tailor a therapeutic approach specifically for you.

When faced with low mood, stress, anxiety, lack of confidence, self-criticism or grief, it's hard to find the strength and resilience needed to get through the challenges life throws our way.

Can we really overcome our issues without knowing what is happening inside our minds and bodies?  Can we really find happiness and enjoyment in life without learning and understanding why we feel the way we feel, or behave the way we behave?

Please contact me if you'd like help and support to realise and overcome your difficulties.  Relearn/learn how to feel calmer, stronger and more resilient, with some practical, bespoke therapy sessions, life skill tools and resources.

Training, qualifications & experience

SCT Therapy was established in 2018 after I qualified as a Professional Hypnotherapist (DPH), covering a wide range of issues, as well as a stress management (CertSMC) and weight management (CertWMS) consultant and a smoking cessation specialist (CertSCS).  I am trained in NLP (DNLP).  I am also qualified/trained as:

  • EMDR Practitioner, including EMDR Flash Technique 
  • IEMT - Integral Eye Movement Therapist
  • Menopause Wellbeing Practitioner
  • Mental Health First Aider
  • Life Coach
  • Counselling Skills
  • EFT - Emotional Freedom Technique

I am an accredited member of the General Hypnotherapy Standards Council (GHSC), IEMT Association and First Person Plural (trauma-informed services and complex dissociation).  I am also a student member of National Counselling Society with Level 3 in Counselling Skills, which compliments my practice.

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.

Key details

DBS check

In England and Wales, the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS, formerly known as CRB) carry out criminal records checks for individuals working with vulnerable groups, such as children. To find out more, visit gov.uk , or contact this professional directly

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Hypnotherapist's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Hypnotherapist to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.

SCT Therapy is a disability friendly service - not all disabilities are visible.
