About Me
About Me
I originally gained a degree in Criminology and Sociology and a Masters in Cultural Policy and Management, then went to work in the Financial Industry. So it was a real departure to leave all that behind and retrain to be a hypnotherapist and NLP Practitioner. But am I so glad that I took that plunge as it is a really rewarding and interesting career!
I have my Diploma in Hypnotherapy, one in NLP, specialist diplomas in Gastric Band Hypnosis and Smoking Cessation, TFT and EFT, and am currently working towards my Diploma in Advanced Hypnotherapy. I have also branched out into Hypnobirthing, please see the page on Hypnobirthing for specific information! For all other treatments, see the ‘Treatment’ page for details of the issues I cover, although the list is not definitive, so if you don’t see what you are looking for, please contact me as I may still offer it
As a hypnotherapist
I combine evidence based, proven hypnotic and NLP, CBT and ACT techniques, as well as EFT/TFT (tapping) to offer a unique service to best suit your needs and help you tackle your issue(s), which will greatly improve your quality of life. Hypnotherapy and hypnosis have been surrounded in myth but I ensure I use techniques and strategies that are rooted in scientific evidence. I will work with you to achieve the best possible results and all I ask is that you come with an open mind and a readiness to ‘go with it!’ I believe hypnotherapy can only truly get effective results if the therapeutic journey is a collaborative one, where the client takes on an element of agency in their own therapy. I have won a number of awards and have even been published in a Hypnotherapy book (available through Amazon) so check out my ‘Qualifications and Awards’ page for further details
As a real person …
I am a single mum with two young boys. Other than hypnotherapy, I am totally obsessed with True Crime – be it documentaries, books, podcasts – I’m fascinated!! I eat, drink and breathe it! I also enjoy crafts (when I get the chance) and have started gardening in the last couple of years so in the summer I try to get the entire front of my house is covered in flowers! For many years I have really struggled with anxiety and panic attacks. It got so bad in 2012 that I was unable to work, go anywhere or do anything. It was a struggle to even go to the local shop. Whilst I didn’t go to a hypnotherapist to help with this (oh I wish I had known then what I know now!) it has given me a very real understanding of how debilitating such an issue can be, but also the knowledge that there is light at the end of the tunnel
