I help adults who want to feel better, make changes in how they think, feel and respond, and get more from their everyday lives.

That might mean stress, anxious feelings, overthinking, low confidence, fears or phobias, unhelpful habits, feeling stuck or simply feeling disconnected from yourself. Some people come with a clear goal; others just know something isn’t working any more. Perhaps nothing is obviously “wrong” but you simply know you want things to be different.

You don’t need to have all the answers, but being ready and willing to make a change is a good place to start.

I draw on hypnotherapy, NLP and mind-body approaches, tailoring the way we work to you and what you want to achieve.

Yes. Stress, anxious feelings and anxiety can affect people in different ways,  perhaps your mind won’t switch off, you find yourself worrying about what might happen, or you feel tense, overwhelmed or on edge.

We can work with the thoughts, feelings and patterns that may be contributing to what you’re experiencing and explore more helpful ways of responding. I can also introduce practical tools and techniques that you can use between sessions and in everyday life.

There are no guarantees of a particular outcome, but the focus is on helping you discover what works for you.

Yes. Confidence can be affected by many things past experiences, self-doubt, negative self-talk or simply getting into the habit of questioning yourself and what you’re capable of.

We can work with what may be getting in the way and explore more supportive ways of thinking, feeling and responding. I draw on hypnotherapy, NLP and mind-body approaches, adapting the way we work to you rather than following a one-size-fits-all process.

Building confidence is different for everyone. The focus is on helping you recognise your strengths, challenge unhelpful patterns and become more comfortable trusting yourself and your own abilities.

 

Yes. Sometimes we continue doing, thinking or reacting in ways that we know aren’t helpful, even when we genuinely want to do something differently. Over time, these patterns can begin to feel automatic or difficult to change.

This might include nail biting, procrastination or avoidance, emotional eating, negative self-talk, repeatedly putting other people’s needs before your own, or reacting in familiar ways when you feel stressed or under pressure.

We can work with the pattern and introduce different ways of thinking, feeling and responding. You’ll also have practical tools to use outside our sessions as you begin to make changes in everyday life.

Change is different for everyone. Being ready to take an active part in the process and practise new ways of responding is an important part of our work together.

Yes. Fears and phobias can range from specific fears such as flying, driving, needles, dentists or spiders, to situations that cause strong feelings of worry, discomfort or avoidance.

We can work with the thoughts, feelings and responses associated with your particular fear and introduce practical techniques that you can use outside our sessions.

Everyone responds differently, so there are no guarantees about a particular outcome. We work at a pace that feels manageable for you.

Yes. Change can feel unsettling, even when it’s something you’ve chosen or looked forward to. It can leave you finding your feet in a life that feels different from the one you knew. Whether through loss, a relationship change, retirement, a career change or moving into a different stage of life, what was familiar may no longer be there and there’s no guidebook to tell you how to navigate what comes next.

Having time and space to explore how you’re feeling can help you consider what you need and what feels important to you now.

I can support you with practical tools and approaches to help you navigate change, reconnect with what matters to you and find your own way forward.

Your first session is an opportunity for us to talk about what you would like help with and, importantly, what you would like to be different.

We’ll spend time getting clear about what you want from our work together and what positive change would look and feel like for you. You don’t need to arrive knowing exactly how to describe it, that is something we can work through together.

From there, I’ll tailor the way we work to you, drawing on hypnotherapy, NLP and mind-body approaches as appropriate. I’ll explain what we’re doing as we go, so you can feel comfortable and involved in the process.

There’s no one-size-fits-all session. What we do will depend on you and what you want to achieve.

There isn’t a set number of sessions. Everyone is different, and it will depend on what you would like help with and the changes you want to make.

Some people find a small number of sessions is enough, while others choose to work with me for longer. We’ll review how things are going along the way and whether the sessions continue to be useful for you.

I don’t believe in keeping you in sessions for longer than you need. Part of our work is helping you develop useful ways of responding and practical tools that you can continue to use in everyday life.

Yes. I offer online sessions, so you can work with me from the comfort and privacy of your own home.

The first step is a free discovery call. It’s an opportunity to briefly talk about what you’d like help with, what you would like to change and any questions you may have. It also gives us both the chance to see whether working together feels like the right fit.

You can book your free discovery call directly through my website or call me. If you decide you’d like to go ahead, we can arrange your first session. There’s no pressure or obligation to continue after the discovery call.

Hypnosis is a state of focused attention, often accompanied by relaxation. Think about a time when you’ve been completely absorbed in a task, book or film and your attention has naturally focused on what you’re doing.

There isn’t one particular way hypnosis should feel. You may feel deeply relaxed, notice physical sensations, or simply feel calm and focused. You remain aware and in control throughout, and you can speak, move, open your eyes or stop at any time if you need to.

You may remember everything afterwards, or you may find that some parts are less clear — both can be perfectly normal. How much you remember isn’t a measure of how well you experienced hypnosis.

Yes. You remain in control throughout hypnosis. You can speak, move, open your eyes or stop at any time.

You won’t be made to do or say anything you don’t want to, and you can choose whether or not to follow a suggestion.

Hypnotherapy is something we work with together. It isn’t something that is done to you.

It’s quite common to wonder whether you’ll be able to experience hypnosis, particularly if you haven’t tried hypnotherapy before.

Hypnosis isn’t about switching off your mind or trying to reach a special state. People experience it differently, and there’s no need to try hard or worry about whether you’re doing it correctly.

I’ll guide you through the process and adapt the way we work to you, so you can follow along in whatever way feels natural for you.
