Overview

I am a Fully QuaIified CNHC Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist practising from a comfortable and relaxing therapy room overlooking Chester Green park in Derby. I offer a caring, confidential and effective service focusing upon you as a unique individual, working with you in a holistic way to achieve real and lasting change in your life. I ensure you have the time and space to express your needs and aims and to relax fully, so that you can gain the maximum benefit from your therapy. Charges are per session, rather than per hour, and typically last c. 1.5 hours. An individual Download or CD of each session is provided for you as a lifetime resource.

Many of my clients come to me through recommendation by existing clients. My clients include people of all ages and backgrounds for a wide range of problems. I work mainly from my therapy room, and also in clients' own homes, usually where mobility is an issue or by arrangement. I am available to work with clients referred by their GP's.

Here are some examples of the areas in which I help my clients:

- I help many people suffering from anxiety and depression come home to themselves once again, regain control over their lives and reconnect with their energy and joy for living. Several sessions are usually required, but most people begin to experience benefits from their first session. We work at the pace that is right for you, as you start making mindful and confidence enhancing choices to rebuild your life in the way you desire. You can access my simple meditation to help you take the first step in controlling your stress and anxiety on my website.

- I help many people take control of insomnia by learning how to relax deeply and develop strategies that allow them to return to the natural rhythms of sleep;

- I offer a unique and highly effective holistic weight management course, tailored to your needs and aims in an empowering way, enabling you attain and maintain your weight loss goals, resolve any problems that have been holding you back, and deepen your connection with your body. You can choose a single session, or up to 5 sessions, depending on the level of help you require - see my website for details.

- I offer a special scheme for Smoking Cessation that includes a further session where required and 3 months email or phone support, to provide all the help you need to give up smoking for life.

- I work with many people to improve their confidence, motivation and performance in interviews, presentations and exams, and to unblock their creativity so that they can reach their true potential.
