I am a fully qualified and accredited advanced clinical hypnotherapist, TFT (tapping) , NLP and Jikiden Reiki practitioner with clinics in Mid Calder (just on the edge of Edinburgh) and Galashiels. I have specific training and a deep rooted passion for helping children aged 6-16, and their families, with all types of behavioural issues - using a combination of modalities centred around Hypnotherapy.
I am genuinely excited about helping my clients make the changes they seek, and I hope that we can work together to achieve your goals.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have been training and practicing in the field since 2019, having found Hypnotherapy while navigating my own journey of resilience! I have 27+ years of lived experience in fast paced corporate environments, and fully understand the challenges of workplace performance, stress and burnout.
Being a mother to a young child I also understand the challenges of today's childhood experiences, and how that translates in classroom and at home! (see additional info re childrens sessions)
Im continually gratified watching clients travel on their journey to wellbeing via Hypnotherapy. Ive have had the pleasure of helping many clients overcome such concerns as smoking habits, stress, anxiety, health anxiety....you name it....if Im confident within our discovery call that I can help, I will tell you how we could work together. Discovery calls are completely free.

Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
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.

Further information
I’m a therapist…and the primary modality I use is Hypnotherapy - for children and adults.
💥I specifically trained in additional approaches for children age 6+ because this really matters to me; and I firmly believe in Hypnotherapy, alongside TFT and NLP techniques, as an approach that can make a huge difference to everyone .
💫How can hypnotherapy help my child ?
💫He doesn’t look he’s being hypnotised!
💫Surely he shouldn’t be moving around like that?
All questions or comments that are common from parents when they sit through a session with me and wonder if anything is sinking in. But it is. It most definitely is.
I’m passionate about helping children. What better age to start teaching skills that will carry through life and help build young adults who have a wellbeing toolkit at their fingertips? I have a 9 year old myself, and I’m astounded by the sheer constant “on” button that kids today deal with. TV on demand (no waiting until a week for the next episode) iPads, gaming and online chat…my son can fix the firestick quicker than I can !
Add in social skills post covid and you have a melting pot of emotions - all just part of growing up right? Yes….for many…but not for all. For some it’s just too much and this can highlight phobias and learnt behaviours that are unresourceful for the child, permeating their home and school environments.
And then there are the wait lists for assessments which can seem to drive even more anxiety into parents and children alike.
So why hypnotherapy?
——————————
It’s a gentle but thoughtful and powerful therapy that allows a heightened focus and awareness while in a state of trance. Combine this with NLP (neuro linguistic programming) which is simply the art of understanding and seeking behavioural excellence, and you have a doorway to successful change.
Taking time to understand a child’s behaviours by gently investigating and applying supportive but challenging questioning techniques is the start of the journey. Helping the child understand their behaviour, creating space for the child to explore an alternative view or perspective, and teaching lifelong skills like breathing and tapping, alongside anchoring, can bring about a massive change in day to day behaviour, and therefore day to day family dynamic.
