Enhanced DBS checked
My therapy clinics are held in Hawkhurst or Tonbridge. Therapy sessions are also available online via ZOOM / FaceTime or on the telephone.
The first session lasts slightly longer than subsequent sessions (one and a half hours) and depending on what is required, I will recommend the number of sessions at this time to help you achieve your desired outcome.
When I work with a minor (children under the age of 16) an adult is required to be present and I offer a free twenty minute consultation for any parent / guardian who wishes for their child to have therapy so that you know what is involved in the process. This can be done over the phone if preferred.
All therapy is treated with sensitivity, empathy and in the strictist confidence.

Professional memberships
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
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.
Hypnotherapists may become members of the General Hypnotherapy Register if they satisfy certain criteria with regard to both training and ongoing requirements as determined from time to time by the General Hypnotherapy Standards Council (GHSC).
Members are either registered at Practitioner status (which confirms that the GHR acknowledges their qualification to practice), or Affiliate status. Although Affiliate level registrants will have completed a sufficient number of training hours to equip them to commence seeing clients on a limited basis, the GHR does not acknowledge them to have yet been trained to full practitioner level.
All GHR Registered Practitioners are required to accept the published Code of Ethics and Complaints & Disciplinary Procedure.
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.
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.
