Email meAbout me
I am a Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, located in the centre of Harrogate. I have worked as a therapist in a variety of settings for more than thirty years and offer effective and confidential help with a range of problems including: depression; anxiety; recovery from trauma, problems experienced by adults who have suffered childhood abuse and neglect; stress and anger management; difficulties with low self confidence and self esteem; weight and body image problems; and addictions, (including smoking, nicotine gum, alcohol and gambling addiction).
I believe that people have an inbuilt capacity to recover and find ways to move beyond even the most difficult circumstances and feelings and that hypnosis can create a state of focused relaxation that may be used where appropriate to enhance this process.
I offer a free, no-obligation consultation for prospective new clients to discuss their particular needs and how I may be able to help.

Fees
I offer a free initial consultation in person at my town centre office, on the telephone or by Skype. By the end of this session I should be able to give you a good idea of how I would be able to work with you.
If you decide to continue with hypnotherapy, I charge £50 for daytime appointments and £60 for evening appointments from 5pm. I offer individually tailored 4 session packages for hypnotherapy clients at a total pre-pay cost of £160 for daytime appointments or £200 evenings. Each package includes up to 4 sessions of in-person hypnotherapy plus a free Audible download code for my 'Powerful Home Hypnosis' audiobook.
I currently offer hypnotherapy based packages for the following issues:
Anxiety, Phobias, Sleep, Weight and body image issues, Confidence building, Addictions, Depression and Trauma.
I understand that finances are tight for many people in the current economic climate and am happy to discuss ways of spreading payments if this would be helpful for you.
Further information
I find hypnotherapy highly effective in enhancing relaxation, reducing anxiety and stress and increasing self-esteem and motivation.
I am delighted that a recording of four of my hypnotherapy scripts: 'Powerful Home Hypnosis for Relaxation, Confidence, and Stress Reduction' is now on general release and available for download via Amazon, Audible and iTunes.
In person sessions of hypnosis can also be a very useful way of finding new solutions to problems, even if those problems have been bothering you for some time.
If it is difficult for you to get to my office for any reason, I can also offer home hypnosis packages combining telephone or Skype sessions with personalised downloadable MP3 recordings to use at your own convenience.
Hypnotherapy for a specific problem generally only takes a few sessions.
However, if people have suffered serious or ongoing neglect, separation or abuse as children; or long term abuse, multiple traumas or bereavements at any stage of their lives, they may find that the longer term psychotherapeutic counselling I offer would be more helpful for them.
