About me
I am a registered Integrative therapist and hypnotherapist based in East Oxford.
I help adults overcome anxiety, panic attacks, stress, self-doubt, phobias, relationship issues, low self-esteem, people-pleasing, and emotional overwhelm. My evidence-based approach combines hypnotherapy, Internal Family Systems (parts work), mindfulness, and body-based awareness to help you understand and transform the deeper emotional patterns driving unwanted thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.
Rather than simply managing symptoms, I take a healing-focused approach to create lasting change, helping you feel calmer, more confident, and more connected to yourself, your needs and your goals.
My role as your therapist is to act as a catalyst for your exploration and reconnection with your internal resources, to make the changes you want. I provide you with a warm, respectful, non-judgemental and supportive space where you can feel truly seen and heard.
Please do get in touch to arrange a free 15 minute consultation to see if we're a good match.

Member organisations
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).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
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.

Additional information
Initial 15 Minute Consultation - FREE
I offer a 15 minute phone or Zoom call to all new clients to help you get a feel for whether I am the right therapist for you. Choosing the right therapist for you is crucial to you getting the most out of the process as you can, therefore there is absolutely no obligation for us to work together after this session.

One to one therapy sessions are 50 minutes, and are currently held over Zoom. I also offer face to face therapy sessions in East Oxford.
Payment
I ask for payment to be made 7 days before your session, and accept cash (when in person), Paypal and Bank transfer. Please note, for confidentiality reasons, any digital payments will show on your account statements.
Concessions
I offer a limited number of concessionary rates for those experiencing genuine financial difficulties. Please contact me to discuss discounted rates.
Cancellation Policy
My cancellation policy is to charge the full fee for a no-show or cancellation within 24 hours, making exceptions for emergencies. This is standard practise for therapists, as the cancellation has prevented another client the opportunity for that session.
