My ideal clients are adults who feel anxious, overwhelmed, burnt out, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. Many come to therapy when life feels heavy, their thoughts are hard to manage, or they’re navigating major transitions. I offer a trauma‑informed, whole‑person approach that blends CBT, Clinical Hypnotherapy, grounding skills, and gentle exploration. Together, we build awareness, strengthen coping, and create space for meaningful change. My goal is to help clients find steadier footing and a quiet sense of lift as they move forward at a pace that feels safe for you.
As a Hypnotherapist, I walk alongside you and help deepen your awareness of thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. We use the unconscious mind to gently shift patterns and support change. If hypnotherapy isn’t the right fit, mindfulness and brief daily practices can also help you feel more grounded.
I am currently taking on new clients. Please contact me by phone or email for an Initial 15-minute free consultation to ensure that I am a good fit for you. Take Flight Counselling: Landing destination to calmness and happiness!

I help adults who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck by using a blend of CBT and Clinical Hypnotherapy. CBT helps clients understand how thoughts, emotions, and behaviours interact, and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. Hypnotherapy works at a deeper, unconscious level to support relaxation, reduce stress, and create space for new responses to take root.

I often use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. In our first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and decide together which approaches may support your progress. With CBT, we look at how thoughts shape emotions and experiences. Over time, I'll help you learn ways to gently challenge unhelpful thoughts so you can feel more grounded, like finding steadier footing before taking flight.
