About me

What matters is not where you have been, what matters is where you are going.

Why should I choose Hypnolight?

I firmly believe that people are their best healers and have the inner knowledge and resources to do so. I am here to help guide you in that recovery process, using my professional skills and training in a relaxed and comfortable environment.

The ultimate aim is to help you on your healing journey, successfully deal with your issues and empower you in the process.

Client-centred approach

I have worked with many clients who tried different treatment modalities but these approaches failed as they weren't suitable for them or their needs.

I don't try to 'fit' my clients to a particular approach. When it comes to therapy, I do not subscribe to 'trying to fit a square peg into a round hole'. We are all different. There is not one medication for all illnesses so why be rigid therapeutically too? Different modalities work for different people. I work integratively,  which means I combine the main different  psychological schools of thought and approaches to suit individual needs of my clients (for example humanistic, psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioural, Gestalt, EMDR etc.).

To sum up, I use a client-centered approach, based on the concept that the client's inner mind can reveal the core cause of a problem when appropriate hypnotic and therapeutic techniques are employed. I can use combinations of different techniques tailored to suit your individual needs and preferences. I combine both hypnotherapy and psychotherapy as I am a fully trained and accredited psychotherapist, specialising in hypno-psychotherapy.

Training, qualifications & experience

I have extensive experience of working in the mental health and social care sectors, both private and public.

Both my psychology studies and mental health experience are reflected in my therapy practice. I have a solid understanding of how the body and brain work together and how hypnotherapy can help to achieve positive changes.

I specialise in the treatment of trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), complex PTSD, childhood sexual abuse (CSA).

I’m always happy to discuss the processes involved in greater depth with any clients who want to understand more about their treatment session.

I am committed to my continuous professional development (CDP) and I regularly undertake various training and learn new skills. 

I am a fully accredited integrative hypno-psychotherapist with the UKCP (The United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy). This qualification combines both hypnosis and psychotherapy. 
In addition, I am a trained shamanic practitioner (trained to the standard of psychologist Sandra Ingerman). Shamanic healing practice fits well with both hypnotherapy and psychotherapy as it also uses trance state.
I also have a regular supervision with Dr. Geoff Ibbottson to ensure I work effectively and to the best of my abilities. He is a GP as well as hypno-psychotherapist who run an NHS trauma clinic for 15 years.

Member organisations

CNHC
Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC)

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.

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.

Areas of hypnotherapy I deal with

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

Other issues I have successfully dealt with include restless leg syndrome, nail biting, motivation to exercise, sugar addiction and many more.

I also offer sessions on Past Life regression therapy which has been shown to be very effective in dealing with a number of issues. Please check my website for more info.
I also offer hypnotherapy/psychotherapy or Past Life Regression therapy sessions via online platform if clients cannot see me in person.

I do not work with children/teenagers under the age of 18. This is because my psychotherapy regulatory body UKCP requires a specific child-focused psychotherapy training.

I aim to respond to new client enquiries within 24 hours.


When I work

Due to the recent and unprecedented changes and COVID-19, for a foreseeable future the sessions are available ONLINE only.

I offer a free 20 mins online familiarisation session.

Further information

Given my mental health background, I have a special interest in working with clients who experience mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, PTSD (Post-traumatic stress disorder) and trauma including working with adults affected by childhood sexual abuse (CSA).
I have a keen interest in transpersonal  and energy psychology and incorporating shamanic healing techniques into my practice when appropriate. This is becoming more and more popular with many other psychotherapists too.

I’m based in Larbert, so I am very accessible for Central Scotland (Stirlingshire, Glasgow, Fife and also Edinburgh). I live near the Larbert train station, so I am also accessible for those who cannot drive.

I work from my home office and there is on street parking space.
I’m happy to discuss and advise on any issue that you feel may benefit from hypnotherapy/psychotherapy.
