Overview

Hypnotherapy saved and inspired me and I want to share that level of healing with the world. That is why I decided to become a fully qualified hypnotherapist with the National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH). I have a life long passion for psychology, researching the inner workings of the mind and different methods of psychotherapy. This, along with my own life struggles led me to discover how powerful a healer hypnotherapy can be, especially after having tried several different counselling styles.

I am no stranger to life in many forms, as I have worked as a Human Resources Consultant in fast-paced office environments in and around London for several years, as well as working as a carer and running my own furniture business.

I have since discovered what is important to me in life and have transformed my life to better suit me and my personality. This journey of self-discovery has equipped me with the ability to see life from many different perspectives and to help others find their way to better mental health and achieving their goals.

What you can expect in sessions with me:

- In the first session, I will gather details from you about why you have come to see me, your symptoms and what you want to achieve from the therapy and we will do some activities to see what techniques will work for you best and to set up some resources for our next session.

- In subsequent sessions I will devise a bespoke treatment plan with you based on the information you have given me, my observations and your feedback and we will begin treatment, we will check in with each other in each session to make sure our plan is still what you want and amend it as necessary.

- I will incorporate different hypnotherapy techniques as well as NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), Parts work (Tebbetts), Gestalt Therapy, Inner Child work, Regression, Analytical and Solution Focused hypnotherapy techniques into your therapy plan depending on your unique needs and healing preferences.

I listen compassionately and do not judge, I will believe your experiences as you tell them and work with you respecting your own values and beliefs. I take a holistic approach and do not "gaslight" or try to shoehorn my clients into a therapy or technique that does not suit them.

I have lots of experience working with people with depression, in abusive relationships, with sexual or relationship trauma and with body confidence issues so I am not afraid to talk about difficult topics as you may have experienced if you have already seen other therapists.

I am DBS cleared and am happy to offer hypnotherapy to children aged 11 and above. Issues may include night terrors, low self-esteem, bed wetting, body confidence issues, exam anxieties and gaming addiction.

I am happy to do house visits locally if you suffer from mobility issues or agoraphobia.

I charge £60 per session.
Discounts are available for those with low income/unemployed.
I also offer a free 15 minute chat over the phone and/or a free 30 minutes added on to your in person or online consultation.
