About Me

I have been working with clients in a therapeutic environment for over 2 decades.  I work with people on a  one to one basis and also facilitate group work sessions using a person-centered, solution focused framework, empowering people to achieve their full potential.  I help people overcome the blocks and traumas in their life enabling them to make the changes they need. Hypnosis and one to one coaching sessions are part of the tools I use to help you achieve your goals.  

My Story

I first experienced Hypnotherapy when I wanted to stop smoking and had tried everything else. All the solutions failed, from patches to gum and even prescribed drugs - nothing worked. I continued smoking while on the various treatments.  I found a hypnotherapist and miraculously I stopped after just a 1 hour session! No issues, no cravings, not bothering me that everyone around me smoked. In 2004 I trained in London with the wonderful Valerie Austin. I saw this as an opportunity to help people as well as a great addition to my toolbox in my full-time position as a support worker working with addiction clients.  It has enabled me to help many people with a variety of issues - stopping smoking being only one negative behaviour that can be helped. Other issues that often arise include phobias, fears, exam/interview nerves, confidence building and reducing stress and anxiety (and much much more).

Qualifications

• Diploma in Advanced Clinical Hypnotherapy 
• BSc (Hons.) Degree in Psychology and Law
• MMHA Certified (Neo-Ericksonian)
• CATCH (Crisis And Trauma Clinical Hypnotherapy)  - specialised training in working with PTSD/CPTSD.

I continue to work and study with other therapists to continue my professional development.  

My experience has been gained by over 2 decades of working with people individually on a one to one basis and in group sessions dealing with their trauma and often trapped in addiction.  

During our initial phone call we can discuss your issue and how Hypnotherapy can help you.  This will enable me to best advise and create your personal therapy package and costs.
