About me
Do you want to feel calmer, more confident, or more in control?
Do you want to let go of stress, anxiety, unwanted habits, or emotional eating?
If there is something in your life you'd like to change - whether it's how you think, feel, or behave - I can help you make that change safely and effectively.
I believe that everyone has the ability to transform any area of their life that's no longer serving them. Working together, we'll find positive practical and therapeutic ways to help you achieve the results you want.
I have been in full-time private practice for over 20 years, helping clients to build confidence, release anxiety, reduce weight, eliminate unwanted habits, and overcome emotional blocks. Every therapy plan is tailor-made to meet your individual needs, using a combination of proven tools and techniques designed to help you create lasting change.
As a multi-award-winning therapist, weight-loss expert and tutor, I've had the privilege of working closely with Paul McKenna, Richard Bandler (co-founder of NLP) and Michael Neill (Hollywood Celebrity Coach).
My Get Real and Get Slim for Life programme was named Best Weight-Loss Programme in the UK, and my book of the same name continues to receive 5* reviews on Amazon for helping readers lose weight without dieting or deprivation.
Whether your goal is to feel calmer, more confident, or free from old patterns, we'll work together to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
Complimentary consultations are available so we can discuss how best I can support you. Consultations are available by telephone or online (Teams or Zoom). Therapy sessions can take place in person, or online (Teams or Zoom) - whichever feels most comfortable for you.

I have been in full time private practice for 20 years and I work from the basis of solutions, rather than problems.
In addition to my private practice I also train people in NLP and Hypnotherapy, and in the various issues a client might present with so that other therapists can help their clients.
I am a full member of the following professional organisations:
The Hypnotherapy Society
The Society of NLP
Member organisations
The National Register of Hypnotherapists and Psychotherapists (NRHP) was formed to promote the skilled use of hypno-psychotherapy. There are a number of different membership categories e.g. Associate 1, Associate 2, Associate 3 and Full Member, with the different categories standing for different levels of training and experience. Regulated Members of NRHP are obliged to meet all the rules and regulations of NRHP including the Code of Ethics and Professional Practice and the Guidelines for Supervision and Continuing Professional Development.
The National Hypnotherapy Society is a Learned Society whose primary purpose is the advancement of the knowledge of hypnotherapy and the fostering of professional hypnotherapy expertise through training, accreditation and continued professional development of their members. The Society seeks to contribute to public wellbeing both through the use of hypnotherapy and by ensuring that hypnotherapists are safe, competent and ethical in practice.
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.
Areas of hypnotherapy I deal with
info Information about health conditions (*)
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.
