I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from Essex University, and am a fully qualified hypnotherapist and psychotherapist, working full time in the psychology and mental health fields. I have over five years of experience as a hypnotherapist and many more as a student of psychology.

As a graduate of the Essex Institute of Clinical Hypnosis and a Member of The Association for Professional Hypnosis and Psychotherapy, I am bound by a code of practice and ethics which ensures a high level of care. All information provided by you and all therapeutic sessions will be completely confidential. I also adhere to a policy of continuous professional development so I am completely up to date with all developments in the hypnosis and psychotherapy fields.

Unsurprisingly, I wasn't born a hypnotherapist. After studying psychology for many years and after a large amount of personal research into the subject of therapy, I came to the conclusion that hypnotherapy was the most logical of all the therapies I had studied. "Hypnotherapy" is just a label, and like many other professionals in this trade, anything that I have tried that I have seen work, I use. After trying many therapeutic interventions in many different capacities, I found the highest level of job satisfaction with hypnotherapy, because like most people I enjoy being successful, and a network of satisfied clients has allowed me to continue working in this field knowing that it works well for people the vast majority of the time. The day hypnotherapy stops working for me is the day I stop working as a hypnotherapist, although obviously I don't see that as likely to happen. My personal philosophy is that a therapist should have a broad knowledge of the way our minds work, and use the simplest and quickest method possible to bring about desired change, and this is precisely what I try to achieve with everybody who asks me for my services. 

I have had particular success with fear of flying and other phobias with a panic component, so if you are suffering from anything like this, call me! I broadly specialise in confidence issues, smoking cessation, and overcoming panic and phobias, but I like to work with more unusual issues too, so call me or email me and I would love to discuss how I can help you.

Please email me or call me on 01784 247990 with any questions or to set up an appointment.
