I trained at the award-winning Clifton Practice (Guildford) founded by David Newton, one of the most highly respected practitioners in the UK.

I am a qualified, accredited Solution-Focused Therapist and Clinical Hypnotherapist. I am a registered member of The Association for Solution Focused Hypnotherapy and The Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council and adhere to their high codes of conduct and ethics. I have a current Enhanced Disclosure and Barring (DBS) certificate and am fully insured.

I first encountered Solution Focused Hypnotherapy when I needed a bit of help myself. I was having a tough time and it felt like everything ended up being my responsibility and I was struggling to cope. I was totally overwhelmed, finding it difficult to make decisions and unable to move forward. Sleep constantly evaded me and I didn’t have the energy to solve the situation.

A good friend suggested I try Solution Focused Hypnotherapy and I realised I needed some help. I started seeing my therapist and after a very short time I was feeling very different. My road rage disappeared, loud noises didn’t make me jump anymore and amazingly, after many decades of it being something I avoided, I found I could be relaxed in a crowd. I was sleeping well and waking refreshed ready to take on whatever the day had to offer, however challenging.

Life became much calmer and I began coping so much better.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy made such a difference to me I took the course and became a qualified Solution Focused hypnotherapist.

I joined Integrated Changeworks in 2020, where I am involved in ongoing training in Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) techniques.

NLP is a way of helping the client to think differently about their past history and to help them to develop a new way of processing their experiences.

Past traumas that still feel upsetting become just something that happened. Repeated negative behaviour patterns can be identified and re-evaluated so that they cease to be triggered.

It helps to make life much calmer and more positive, so that my clients find that they cope so much better with whatever life has to throw at them.
