About me
I am a Hypnotherapist, Solution Focused Therapist and Coach. Are you looking to get your life back on track, but need some help? Are you having trouble sleeping? Feeling anxious about future? Do you feel stuck in the past? Depressed or angry? Do you want to know that regardless of whatever has happened in your past you can be strong powerful compassionate confident and wise? If you are looking for lasting change, then I can help.
I am a Hypnotherapist, Solution Focused Therapist and Coach based in central Bath and online and I am here to help you feeling the best version of yourself again – calm, confident and in control.
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a natural way to help with many different issues. From the stress of everyday modern life to issues like anxiety, depression or motivation.
Using Solution Focused talking therapy I help you focus on building a positive picture of your preferred future rather than focusing on problems or the past. This shift in focus can help you to make significant and beneficial changes in your life and help you to reach your potential.
Then, with you still fully in control I will use positive language to help guide you into a state of hypnosis or trance. In this relaxed state, we experience changes in our conscious awareness – almost like being in a daydream. During this time, the unconscious mind is more aware and can focus on helpful suggestions and thoughts.
I believe that the mind and body are inextricably intertwined, so my approach is both integrative and holistic, offering you a safe and supportive place to help you find the solution you are looking for. Drawing on techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) means that sessions are tailored just for you. With my encouragement and non-judgemental approach each session is informative and reassuring, giving you the best opportunity for change.

Training, qualifications & experience
I am a Clinical Hypnotherapist specialising in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy having trained at the Clifton Practice in Bristol one of the most prestigious training schools in the UK. I hold a Diploma in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (DSFH) and the gold standard Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma (HPD.
I’m passionate about staying ahead of new developments in neuroscience and psychology and am committed to ongoing training. I regularly partake in continuous professional development courses, and I am studying for my Advanced Diploma in Hypnotherapy, a level 5 qualification with the Clifton Practice.
I am a member of the following regulatory bodies:
AfSFH – The Association for Solution Focused Hypnotherapy
CNHC – Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council
NCH – National Council for Hypnotherapy
Which means:
I am fully insured to practice hypnotherapy
I am committed to the highest standards

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.
The Association for Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (AfSFH) was set up to provide information about a modern form of Hypnotherapy and its associated benefits to members of the public. The main aim of the AfSFH is to spread awareness of the benefits of Solution Focused Hypnotherapy. Its secondary aim is to support Hypnotherapists in their businesses by encouraging good practice and self-care.
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.

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
I also offer Solution Focused coaching sessions to help clients enhance performance & wellbeing in their professional & personal life.
