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 you feel your "fight or flight" response is constantly overreacting, or you are tired of talking about problems without feeling a shift in your body, we may be a good fit. I help you bridge the gap between the mind and the nervous system, updating subconscious patterns of avoidance 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, specialising in dental, medical, and flight phobias, plus 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.

Clinical hypnotherapy is my foundation, and I compliment it with psychotherapy and Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP). I coach self-regulation tools for you to use including Tapping/EFT, breathwork and somatic practices. The experience is collaborative and I vary my approach according to your needs and preferences. You develop your own "regulation toolkit" as you discover what works best for you.
