I offer clinical hypnotherapy with a strong nervous system and mind–body focus.
You may be someone who appears to be coping on the outside, yet feels stuck in patterns that no longer feel aligned. This might include drinking more than you want to, living with chronic pain such as endometriosis or IBS, or feeling constantly tense, foggy, or emotionally overwhelmed. You want meaningful change that feels gentle and sustainable – not another approach based on pressure, willpower, or shame. You’re seeking calm, clarity, and a stronger sense of ease in your body and daily life.

I use evidence-based approaches such as CBT, trauma-informed therapy, and hypnotherapy to support stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and sleep difficulties.
Many of the people I see come to me feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or weighed down by stress, anxiety, or low mood. Some are navigating personal or family challenges, while others are experiencing difficulties at work or struggling to find balance in their busy lives. I also support individuals dealing with trauma, sleep disturbances, or the emotional toll of ongoing health concerns. What unites them is a desire to feel lighter, more in control, and to reclaim a sense of calm, purpose, and wellbeing in their everyday lives.

People seeking psychological services know that it is a deeply personal experience to connect with another human being trying to improve their life experience. I have always believed in personal service, the one-on-one conversation where the person feels heard and validated, instead of big business where clients feel like a number. I aim to be respectful and connected and ensure a high standard of care for all my clients.

I get it. You're struggling with balancing work and life and trying to make sense of how to not be so frustrated and angry about the state of your world when it all seems too much. Then trying to explain it all to someone (perhaps your partner) when it gets too much but who can only offer a sympathetic nod or unhelpful advice such as 'just get over it' or 'you're being dramatic!' (which rarely helped in the history of advice!). The problem is not having space or the ability to try and untangle your thoughts amidst trying to just stay afloat in an ever-increasing complex world with competing demands on your attention and sanity.

I offer person-centred therapy, drawing on evidence-based approaches such as EMDR, Clinical Hypnotherapy, CBT, and Emotion-Focused Therapy.
My ideal client is someone who feels stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected — perhaps carrying anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, or burnout. They’ve tried to cope on their own but long for real change and understanding. What they want most is relief: to feel calmer, clearer, and more like themselves again. They seek a space where they feel safe, heard, and not judged — where evidence-based therapy and genuine care help them heal, grow, and rebuild confidence in their own strength and direction.

Reconnecting to Yourself: Overcoming Anxiety and Breaking Unhealthy Patterns If anxiety, bad habits, or feeling stuck have taken over, it’s not a lack of willpower—it’s could be a disconnect from yourself. Life’s stress and responsibilities can leave you overwhelmed, unsure how to regain balance. If you’re feeling overwhelmed and you’ve tried different approaches, but nothing seems to stick. The key isn’t another quick fix; it’s about feeling a sense of self-compassion, curiosity, and a deeper reconnection with your mind and body and spirit.

I like to help people who are anxious to be helped. You nudge a ball in their direction and they see its value. Instantly they pick it up and run with it. I also enjoy people who are keen to try strategies that will work for them. A sharp imagination and a good sense of humour helps keep anxiety at bay and is a great assist in using hypnosis.

HypnoTherapy

How does hypnotherapy work?

Hypnotherapy works by using guided hypnosis to help you reach a state of focus and concentration through mental imagery and soothing verbal repetition. The state is somewhat like being absorbed in a book, a film, or your own thoughts. You are not under a therapist’s “control,” but they can help you relax and turn your attention inward to discover the resources to achieve behaviour change or better manage psychological concerns. Therapy sessions may involve guiding you through recognising a problem, releasing problematic thoughts about it, and considering and accepting more productive alternatives before returning to normal awareness. Hypnotherapy is typically used by a therapist along with traditional forms of talk therapy. Eventually, your therapist can help you learn hypnotherapy techniques yourself, so you can establish a stronger sense of control on your own in stressful or challenging moments.

Is hypnotherapy the same as hypnosis?

Hypnotherapy, which is sometimes called hypnotic suggestion, is a therapeutic technique in which a therapist uses hypnosis to help patients. It is not the kind of hypnosis portrayed in stage shows, or in movies or on television. You will not be unconscious or asleep during hypnotherapy, you will not lose control of yourself, your thoughts, or your free will, and you will be able to fully recall your experience. And while you will hear your therapist’s suggestions, it is always up to you to decide whether to act on them. Hypnosis by a trained mental-health professional is not a form of mind control, which is impossible to achieve anyway.

Can everyone be hypnotised?

The most common challenge of hypnotherapy is that as many as one in four people cannot be hypnotised. Brain imaging has confirmed differences in patterns of brain connectivity between those who respond to hypnotism and those who do not. Other people who could potentially be hypnotised may not respond to the technique because of their scepticism or resistance to entering a hypnotic state. If a therapist’s “post-hypnotic suggestion” is effective, it’s because they are suggesting something you want to achieve.

Does hypnotherapy work?

Through hypnotherapy, you can achieve changes that are real and sustainable. Like other talk therapy techniques, when hypnotherapy succeeds, it’s a case of mind over matter. Effective hypnotherapy involves self-healing because you access resources you need to change inside of yourself and learn how to tap into them whenever you need. Hypnotherapy has been shown to be an effective therapy for anxiety, phobias, stress, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress disorder, sexual dysfunction, and undesirable behaviours like smoking. It can be used to help improve sleep or to address relationship challenges, and to aid with pain management, digestive disorders, skin conditions, and the gastrointestinal side effects of pregnancy or chemotherapy.
