About me
Taking the first step in seeking therapy is a powerful move towards change. We may look for a therapist for any number of reasons – from struggles with sleep, relationships, family, and work overload to managing imposter syndrome, phobias, or simply feeling out of sorts without an obvious reason. Whatever the cause, everyone deserves to look forward to a positive future.
I’m a fully qualified psychotherapist and hypnotherapist, specialising in solution-focused therapy. Together, we’ll work on rewiring thought patterns, breaking negative loops, and building new neural pathways to help shift your perspective in a constructive way.
In our sessions, you remain the expert on yourself. My role is to support and empower you as you create manageable weekly goals to build confidence, calmness, and control over your life.
Choosing a therapist who feels right is essential, which is why I offer a free 1-hour initial consultation. This session allows us to discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, what you can expect from our work together, and to understand how the brain’s responses to stress and pressure impact your wellbeing.
The first part of a session is talking therapy where we focus on the here and now, not on the past and the second half of the session is hypnosis. By using positive suggestions, your conscious and subconscious work together to help you move forward.
Sessions are available face-to-face at my practice on the Lancing/Shoreham border or online—whichever suits you best. I offer a supportive, non-judgemental space where you can feel comfortable and understood.
Training, qualifications & experience
I’m a trained psychotherapist and hypnotherapist and trained a CPHT in Brighton where I gained a HPD and DFSH.
I also work in partnership with Sussex Police Federation to provide service to their officers and specialise in working with clients with anxiety-related concerns, stress, depression and PTSD along with phobias and fears.
I am DBS checked.

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.
