I am a qualified psychotherapist and hypnotherapist having trained to Higher Diploma level with the SACH International School of Analytical and Cognitive Hypnotherapy. I am also a certified Practitioner in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and a member of The Hypnotherapy Association and UK Hypnotherapy Register. I am also registered under the Data Protection Act. As an Individual Member of BACP I am bound by its Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy and subject to the Professional Conduct Procedure therein.

My aim is to improve the physical and mental health of individuals and empower others to achieve their goals in life. I strongly believe in a clinical approach to hypnosis – producing rapid and long-lasting change. As a psychotherapist my approach is integrative and as such I adapt myself to my client’s needs instead of adapting my client to a particular theoretical orientation. In doing so I incorporate all the range of theoretical approaches and methods such as cognitive, psychodynamic, Gestalt, inner-child therapy amongst others.

Life today is stressful for many people. Pressure to perform at work or the pressures of balancing work, home and family life take their toll and this can lead to physical and emotional problems. Moving house, new job, changes in financial circumstances, all cause us to feel anxiety on some level, add this to moving to another country, learning a new language, and culture, increases the level of anxiety which can lead to being overly stressed. Stress can become overwhelming if high level of anxiety are experienced and as a result can lead to depression, irritation and mood swings which in their turn cause tension in our relationships with others – thereby increasing even more anxiety and stress. Missing friends and family can contribute to feeling isolated and alone. Anxiety which stress creates limits your enjoyment of your new life and in some cases shortens it through long-term effects such as heart disease and high blood pressure. If you are in this situation, I can help you regain perspective, and achieve the balance that’s right for you, teaching you how to deal with the symptoms of stress when they occur by using gentle, effective relaxation techniques.

Sports and business people have long recognised the impact positive thinking can have on their performance. You may feel you have specific goals in life you want help with or it may be that you have awareness for change and want guidance to help you realise your potential. Visualising achievement of those goals and gaining insight from the subconscious mind can give you the edge in any area where high performance is required. I can apply NLP, Time Line Therapy and hypnotherapy to coach you to become the best you can be. Contact me if you are interested in attending a residential programme to meet your needs.

Many people are turning to alternative therapists to assist them in dealing with medical conditions. The ability of the mind to influence the body is a powerful tool in the management of various medical conditions. I can use hypnohealing to help you see your condition in a different way, and help with the process of healing.

Sometimes counselling and psychotherapy is required to identify the root cause of what has brought you to this point in your life. At all times I work for your benefit and use the best therapeutic technique to assist you in achieving your goal in therapy. Sometimes people just need to talk to someone independent and uninvolved in their daily lives. Talking to a counsellor freely, confidentially and without being judged or criticized allows feelings to be uncovered and understood. I will encourage you to express your feelings safely and help you understand why you feel the way you do.

Psychotherapy is the application of psychological principles to the treatment of those suffering from disorders that are of psychological origin, or that are exacerbated by psychological factors. I can help using several therapeutic approaches such as inner-child therapy; gestalt; transactional analysis; parts therapy; art therapy etc to resolve difficulties and unblock the obstacles that stop you from moving on in your life.
