I am an Integrative Therapist with over 20+ years of practice experience, qualifying in 2002. I have continually added to my professional training and qualifications throughout my career. In addition to 'in person' and 'online' Integrative Therapy, I also provide Clinical Hypnosis as well as Outdoor Therapy. There is no additional cost to combine Integrative Therapy with Clinical Hypnosis. Clients are free to select stand-alone therapeutic services; and/or to combine them. It is always led by client choice. Over the years, I've noticed therapy is most effective with clients willing to work between sessions as well as in sessions.

Can’t sleep because your mind won’t stop?
Constant worry following you everywhere? That tight feeling in your chest that never quite goes away?
Or maybe it’s panic attacks. The kind that hit out of nowhere, heart pounding, can’t breathe, absolutely certain something’s wrong. They’re over in minutes but leave you rattled for weeks.
And now you’re scared of having another one. So you’ve started avoiding places. Situations. Your world’s shrinking and the anxiety’s growing.
I help people resolve anxiety and panic attacks, not manage them. Real recovery is about teaching your brain to recognise you’re actually safe.
