About me
Helping people perform at their best by changing how they think, feel and respond.
Whether you’re a leader under pressure, a professional navigating change, a student preparing for important exams, or someone who feels held back by anxiety, self-doubt or unhelpful habits, I combine evidence-informed coaching, clinical hypnotherapy and neuroscience-based approaches to create lasting behavioural change.
No two people are the same.
Rather than working from fixed scripts or predetermined programmes, every session is tailored to you. Depending on your goals, we may draw upon executive coaching, hypnotherapy, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), somatic regulation, neuroscience, parts work or Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) to help create meaningful and sustainable change.
Training, qualifications & experience
I bring together over 25 years’ experience across education, leadership, business and behavioural change.
Before establishing ETCH – Elevate Training, Coaching & Hypnosis, I spent more than two decades working in education, including ten years in senior leadership as an Assistant Headteacher. During this time I led safeguarding, mental health, SEND and professional development, coaching both young people and adults to perform under pressure.
Prior to education, I worked within national IT management, giving me first-hand experience of leadership, organisational change and the commercial world.
Today I work with:
professionals and executives
business owners
schools, colleges and universities
neurodivergent adults and young people
athletes
individuals navigating significant life transitions
Alongside my clinical hypnotherapy practice, I am currently completing a Level 7 qualification in Executive Coaching, enabling me to support leaders and professionals working within complex organisational environments.

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.

Additional information
My work with you does not involve scripts for predetermined packages and will be tailored just for you using a variety of modalities (methods).
I work predominantly online as well as from a variety of locations in Swale (Kent), Medway (Kent), London, Bournemouth (Dorset) and St Albans (Herts). in person sessions are usually only available as part of a block booking.
My fees are IRO £150.00 for a 90 minute session. I do not have one off sessions and as such, block booking packages that really reduce the oval price are available. I also offer online group or self study courses, as well as hypnotic audios that are available on my website.
If you contact me, I will offer a free initial telephone consultation (also available via Zoom) which is important for me to find out more about what you are experiencing and for you to ensure you understand the methods we will use. This is also to ensure I am the right person to work with you, your child or organisation and I will confirm prices with you at this point.
The number of sessions required can only ever be approximate, as everyone responds differently. Likewise, if I feel I cannot help you or recommend somebody who is in a better place than I to support you, I will inform you of this.

Further information
I believe lasting change happens when insight is combined with action. By integrating coaching, neuroscience and clinical hypnotherapy, I help people not only understand why they think and behave as they do, but develop the skills to create lasting, measurable change.
