My website

My clients often feel held back by intense physical or emotional responses that limits their enjoyment and potential in life. Many come to me because anxiety or fears—specifically dental, medical, or flight anxiety—prevent them from accessing healthcare or living fully. Others are exhausted by insomnia or low self-confidence. If your "fight or flight" response is constantly overreacting, or if talk therapy felt supportive but didn't help you to change your emotional patterns and responses, we may be a good fit. I help you bridge the gap between the mind and the nervous system, updating subconscious patterns with curiosity and calm.

As a Clinical Hypnotherapist, I help clients change their experience of anxiety, flight anxiety, medical and dental anxiety, insomnia and self-confidence. My holistic approach supports you to gently update old patterns without reliving past events. I integrate mindfulness, tapping and breathwork so you can build your own "self-regulation toolkit".

Living with anxiety, insomnia or a phobia can feel isolating. I provide a safe space to find relief where traditional talk therapy may have fallen short. I work online, allowing you to engage from the privacy of your own home. Hypnotherapy is effective and convenient online. If you are ready to gain clarity, confidence and calm, I'd love to hear from you.

I treat general and situational anxiety, including performance, dental, medical, and flight anxiety, insomnia and low self-esteem. Using clinical hypnotherapy and nervous system regulation, I help resolve the "fight or flight" response. My "content-free" approach creates change without needing to relive trauma. Clients typically develop a practical self-regulation toolkit for lasting relief.
