Friendly and non-judgmental support

You're thinking about whether you want to work with me, so it would probably help if you found out a bit about me. So, what can I say about myself that will give you an idea of what I’m like?…

I am laid back, and friendly. People tell me I am naturally calming.

I will not judge you. Everyone is struggling with something, and we could all do with a little help sometimes.

I create a safe space for you to talk about what you need to work on, and where we will work together to shift your problem.

So you can relax about this. I’ve got you.

And I am exceedingly tall, though you are unlikely to realise that since we will be sitting down and talking over Zoom.

Help over Zoom for Anxiety, Confidence, Weight Loss and more…

You’re probably here because there is something in your life that needs to change. Perhaps you’re frustrated or stuck in some way and you don’t want to be like that any longer. You’ve had enough of it but you can’t seem to shift what’s holding you back.

I can help you with:

• Stress and Anxiety
• Self-Confidence and issues of Self-Worth
• Weight loss
• Phobias
• Strong emotions that are getting in the way
• Behaviours that are really not helping

In all these cases, there’s stuff that you need to shift or let go of to have a better life. And that's where I come in.

A question for you

Are there things that you’d like to be doing that you just can’t? Is there a part of you that seems to be holding you back or pulling you in the wrong direction?

Well, I want you to know that it doesn’t have to be like that any longer.

Things can be different for you and you can start to imagine how your life can be, free from your problem.

Breathe

Now that you’re making the decision to do something about it, that’s where I come in. We work together over Zoom and over a number of weeks we ease you away from those old beliefs, emotions or behaviours and reset things for you in a new positive direction.

Let’s chat

Let’s have a no-obligation chat about how things can change for you, and to see if we are a good fit for each other and the way that I work. You can call, you can email, we can talk over Zoom, whatever’s best for you.

The "Commit to Change" programme

This is how the programme works:

We work together over a period of a couple months, or less if that’s all that is needed, during which we would typically meet a couple of times per month, although more often in the first month, so you could begin to see shifts quickly.

I will send you a bespoke mp3 recording to listen to every day, and perhaps some videos showing potent techniques that you can use to reinforce the changes you are making at a deep level, as you grow into your new confidence.

Occasionally we all experience the odd wobble, and so, between sessions we can get on a quick 15 minute call if you need, to help get through the wobbles or answer any questions.

I am here to support you throughout.

The fee for the Commit to Change programme is £397.

Further sessions

And once we have completed your programme, whether you need to have one or two more sessions (which is unlikely) or whether you decide to get together every couple of months for goal-setting, top-ups or some fine adjustments, we can arrange that and these are chargeable on a pay-as-you-go basis for £80 per session.

I cannot express how fulfilling it is to be able to help other people to make important changes in their lives, so they can be free from what is holding them back. To help someone to move on from crippling anxiety, to help someone finally lose weight after years of yo-yo dieting, so they can be healthy, feel better, look better... to help someone to feel better about themselves so that they know, deep down, that they have value, that they are worth something, that they are good enough... this is what motivates me to do the work that I do.

I am fascinated by hypnotherapy and NLP

I am fascinated by the subject and its potential to really transform people’s lives in a fairly short space of time. So when I’m not playing a musical instrument or spending time with my family, you’ll find me with my head in a Hypnotherapy or NLP textbook or going on a training course, to enhance my skills.

I love sharing my knowledge and experience with others, so after I completed my training with The Quest Institute, I moved on to assist Trevor Silvester, founder of Cognitive Hypnotherapy, in the training of other Cognitive Hypnotherapists on the Quest Diploma course and also the Quest NLP Master Practitioner course.

Actually, it was when I was going through my Cognitive Hypnotherapy training at the Quest Institute several years ago that the penny dropped in terms of the power and effectiveness of what we were learning: we practised on each other and on friends and family, and amazing things started happening: people lost their phobias, lost weight naturally without dieting, let go of limiting beliefs and emotional ‘blocks’, and became more confident, assured and self-motivated.

It’s really humbling the way that you can make such a difference to people in a fairly short space of time.

I love this work!

Previous careers

Hypnotherapists will often have had previous careers, and I have had several! I have been a Dental Surgeon, I worked in the Civil Service, and since 1998 I have been helping people to make positive changes in their lives in my role as a Traditional Japanese Reiki teacher with an International reputation.

When I was a Dentist, one of the things that I was best at was helping people to relax and build up their confidence, so I worked with a lot of very nervous patients who, although they were nervous wrecks coming for a check-up, after having seen me for a number of sessions, ended up calm and confident and no longer anxious about coming to have their teeth looked at or worked on.

And I have found just what is right for me with Cognitive Hypnotherapy: an elegant and powerful system that is focused entirely on the needs of each client. So unlike many Hypnotherapists, who will read out a standard script for every client who has, say, a weight problem, my approach is to ‘start with a blank sheet of paper’ and construct a bespoke programme for each of my clients, based on their life, their beliefs, their experiences and emotions… people develop their problem in a unique way, and so each client needs a unique solution.
