Welcome.
A bit about me, I am a Clinical Hypnotherapist, a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist and a Solution Focused Brief Therapist and I'm also Senior Lecturer at Clinical Hypnotherapy School
Hypnotherapy for Real, Lasting Change
If there’s something you’d like to change, perhaps a habit you'd like to break, a pattern you'd like to change or perhaps you'd like to change the way you respond to stress, anxiety or fear?
Hypnotherapy can offer a calm, structured, and supportive way forward.
This approach works with how your mind naturally learns and forms habits, using focused attention and guided mental rehearsal to support change. There is good evidence that this kind of rehearsal can help strengthen new patterns when combined with real-world action.
We focus on your strengths, your goals, and practical steps forward and not pressure or blame. no one wakes up in the morning and thinks 'how can I mess up my day?' The solution focused approach is respectful and recognises that people are doing their best.
In the hypnosis, or trance part of a hypnotherapy session, you remain in control throughout. Hypnotherapy is a collaborative process, designed to help change feel more manageable, realistic, and sustainable over time.
Is hypnotherapy suitable for everyone? The short answer is no, it isn't the best approach foe a minority of people, we can talk about that in our introductory conversation.
​
It is always recommended that you talk with your doctor before having hypnotherapy.

* ​When we have a problem we can sometimes lose sight of where we would like to be: a solution focused approach helps us to identify and achieve a better future. I aim to work quickly ( to be 'brief') This approach can be suitable for adults, couples and children.
