Why Choose Me

I’ve been there too!
Like everyone else, I’ve had my fair share of problems and have had successful experiences with hypnotherapy enabling me to work through my issues so that I can support others as a therapist.

I have also been a non smoker for over 4 years now thanks to hypnotherapy.
I offer high quality professional therapy, in a safe environment. I also offer warmth, empathy understanding and dedication to helping you achieve your goals.

My Approach

I work intuitively and integratively, which means that I am trained in number of different modalities enabling me to tailor my approach to suit you and your circumstances. I also work creatively which means paying attention to hunches, feelings, knowings, dreams and visions etc., in order to understand what is being communicated from the deepest part of you in relation to the issue which has brought you to hypnotherapy.

I am also able to work in a solution focused way. Sessions are led by you and as we work together I will support you in meeting your goals by ensuring that you are asked the right questions, accepted without judgement, challenged for who you are and fully supported throughout your healing process.

At the end of our work together you may find that you have developed a deeper sense of awareness, processed wounds and pain, discovered fresh insights into your life and situations and gained access to new resources as you heal old wounds and free up energy.

I’m a qualified, accredited and insured clinical hypnotherapist having trained and qualitied as part of a master level course of hypnosis and psychotherapy at one of the longest established and respected hypno-psychotherapy training institutes in the world. I am on the pathway set by UK Council for Psychotherapy. Very few hypnotherapists will have undertaken such a rigorous training or are held to such strict ethical standards.

Will I lose control?

No. This is a popular misconception that people have about hypnotherapy having watched entertainment hypnosis on tv or at stage shows. What isn’t seen with entertainment hypnosis is all the behind the scenes work that goes into producing such shows. You remain completely in control with clinical hypnotherapy and will be able to hear everything that I say and get up and walk out at any time that you wish (although I’m certain that you won’t want to).

What happens during a hypnotherapy session?

Hypnotherapy is a process and as such all sessions will be different. At the first session generally we’ll discuss your reasons for coming to see me, the ways I can assist you, and time permitting introduce you to some hypnosis. During most hypnotherapy processes, you’ll also be taught self-hypnosis.

Do sessions need to be booked weekly?

No, not necessarily. Longer time in between sessions may be useful to integrate what we have been working on, as well as give you the extra time to complete mandatory homework. There will however been some issues where more frequent attendance will be appropriate.

What are your fees?

Think you can’t afford hypnotherapy? To ensure my services are accessible, I charge a standard rate (£65) and have reduced rate sessions for individuals with flexibility over when they attend as well as some concession rates (students, elderly, 12 Step attendees, low/no income etc please enquire). For workshop fees please see individual workshops.

What other commitments do I need to make?

As with all things in life, we get out as much as we are willing to put in. To ensure that you get the most from our sessions, I will from time to time set homework as appropriate. We will also discuss any other commitments, such as around confidentiality, during our initial session.
