About me
Struggling with anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, or sleep problems?
I help people in Durham and Newcastle overcome these issues using Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy - a forward-looking, evidence-based approach that gets to the root cause.
How it works:
Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy combines neuroscience-based talking therapy with guided relaxation. Rather than dwelling on the problem, we focus on what you want to achieve and help you use your own strengths to get there.
It's particularly effective for anxiety-related issues because it helps calm your nervous system, improve sleep, and quieten an overactive mind - while also addressing the underlying patterns that keep you stuck.
What to expect:
Sessions are collaborative, practical, and usually 6-12 weeks. Many clients notice improvements within the first few sessions. We work at your pace, focusing on your preferred future rather than analysing the past.
Face-to-face in Durham City or central Newcastle, or online via Zoom.
Free initial consultation to discuss your specific situation and how I can help.

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.
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.
