About me
For 25 years I've worked in full-time private practice helping people move from where they are to where they truly want to be.
My work isn't about temporary relief or quick fixes. It's about rewiring the neural pathways that have been keeping you stuck — so lasting change doesn't just become possible. For those ready to do the work, it becomes inevitable.
My clients work with me from across the UK, Europe, the US and beyond — not because I'm the cheapest option, but because they've reached the point where they no longer want to waste time or money on approaches that only scratch the surface. They're ready to create meaningful, lasting change, and that's exactly what I help them to do.
In 25 years, I've never met anyone who couldn't transform the areas of their life that were no longer serving them. Not one.
We use practical strategies and powerful therapeutic techniques — and we go until the results are real, not just manageable. Whether that's freedom from trauma, stress or unnecessary anxiety, overcoming old patterns or habits, feeling calmer and more confident, or finally taking control of your weight.
As a multi-award-winning therapist, weight-loss expert and tutor, I've had the privilege of working alongside Paul McKenna, Richard Bandler, co-founder of NLP, and Michael Neill, renowned coach and bestselling author. Those experiences have helped shape the approach I use today, but what matters most is helping you achieve the lasting results you came for.
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-star reviews from readers who have discovered they can lose weight without dieting or deprivation.

If you've reached the point where you're ready to stop managing this and start changing it — get in touch. That's exactly what this is for.
I offer a complimentary consultation so we can discuss your goals and explore how I can best support you. Consultations are available by telephone or online via Teams or Zoom, and therapy sessions can take place in person or online — whichever feels most comfortable for you.

I have been in full time private practice for 25 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.
