About me

I'm a fully qualified and experienced Hypnotherapist, NLP Practitioner and Talking Therapist and have been in private therapy practice for more than ten years. During this time, I've helped many people with a wide range of problems from stopping unwanted habits such as smoking, to overcoming life changing issues such as phobias, panic attacks, low self esteem and anxiety.

How I can help you
I draw upon a wide variety of influences within the field of talking therapies including Hypnotherapy, NLP, Eye Movement De-sensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), the Rewind Technique and Mindfulness, alongside counselling and psychotherapy approaches such as person-centred counselling, CBT and Human Givens, to help you explore your situation and feelings at your pace. My focus is on enabling you to get to where you want to be; whether that's free from fear, anxiety or a habit. Or perhaps you want to stop smoking, lose weight or feel more confident. Using a combination of hypnosis, NLP and talking therapies, I offer a calm and confidential space to help you make the changes that you need to move forwards in your life and be the person you want to be.

These are some of the issues that I regularly work with:

• Anxiety & Panic Attacks
• Confidence & Self Esteem
• Fears & Phobias
• Stopping Smoking
• Weight Loss (including Gastric Band Hypnosis)
• Mindfulness & Self Hypnosis
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
• Migraines & Tension Headaches
• Insomnia & Sleep Problems

About Me
I began my initial training as a Hypnotherapist with the Northern College of Therapeutic Hypnosis in Leeds where, upon successful completion of exams set by the Medical Hypnotherapy Examination Board, I was awarded Diplomas in both Therapeutic Hypnosis and Clinical Hypnotherapy. Following this, I achieved certification as an NLP Practitioner and since then, I have continued to develop my therapy skills with further training in Psychotherapy, Advanced Hypnosis and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). I have also completed training in the Rewind Technique, which is a method for helping people who are experiencing high anxiety conditions such as phobias, trauma and PTSD.

As an experienced therapist, I am an Accredited Member of and Approved Supervisor for The National Hypnotherapy Society and provide supervision for students, newly qualified and experienced Hypnotherapists. In addition to this, I sit on the Professional Development and Supervision Committee for both The National Hypnotherapy Society and The National Counselling Society. I am also fully insured and hold a current DBS certificate.

Book an initial consultation
If you're considering hypnotherapy, the first step is to book an initial consultation. This is an opportunity for us to meet and discuss your situation in more detail, as well as answering any questions you may have and deciding on the best options for you. The appointment usually takes around 60 to 90 minutes and we will do some hypnosis to introduce you to hypnotherapy and help you prepare for future sessions. Further sessions are around 50 minutes and are usually booked between one to three weeks apart, depending on your situation. Between sessions, you may also be given a CD or MP3 download to listen to, along with tasks to complete. These are designed to complement your sessions, so that you can develop new resources and skills to help you in the future.
