Overview

I am a highly qualified and experienced hypno-psychotherapist, creating a safe, compassionate and professional environment to confidentially support your healing and personal development.

I qualified as a hypnotherapist in 1998 and I have wide-ranging qualifications and expertise in the fields of hypnotherapy, psychotherapy and behaviour. With almost twenty years in clinical practice, working with well over 2000 clients, my experience covers a wide range of approaches: cognitive-behavioural, psychodynamic, humanistic, body-centered and mindfulness-based therapies. I have a PhD in Behavioural Sciences, a Diploma in Hypno-Psychotherapy (DHP) and a postgraduate Diploma in Hypno-Psychotherapy (pgDHP). My PhD, on body mass regulation, was awarded the highly prestigious Thomas Henry Huxley Medal for most original doctoral thesis. I was awarded the national student of the year for my DHP AND pgDHP. I am a Master Practitioner and Training Specialist in Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) and I have also been awarded The Senior Qualification in Hypnotherapy Practice (SQHP).

I am committed to helping my clients with the very best tools available and I regularly update my training and knowledge to remain at the forefront of current methods and research. I hold a wide range of certificates in specialised areas of therapy, including stress management, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, advanced hypnosis, conversational hypnosis, positive psychology, smoking cessation therapy, hypnotic pain control, hypnosis for surgery preparation, and the hypnotherapeutic treatments of depression, infertility, tinnitus, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia and environmental illness. For your peace of mind, all consultations are carried out in complete confidence. My work as a therapist is bound by a strict code of ethics and is subject to regular review, via professional supervision.
