About me
I am a single mum of two boys. Other than hypnotherapy, I am totally obsessed with True Crime – be it documentaries, books, podcasts – I’m fascinated!! I eat, drink and breathe it!
I can be a little quirky and am not a stereotypical serious hypnotherapist - but I believe that is my strength - I like my clients to feel relaxed in my therapy rooms, and free to open up to me. I just want you to feel comfortable as this is what get the better results.
For many years I really struggled with anxiety and panic attacks. It got so bad in 2012 that I was unable to work, go anywhere or do anything. It was a struggle to even go to the local shop. Whilst I didn’t go to a hypnotherapist to help with this (oh I wish I had known then what I know now!) it has given me a very real understanding of how debilitating such an issue can be, but also the knowledge that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

What to expect
You can phone, email or text - whatever you feel most comfortable with (I know lots of people don't feel comfortable first reaching out over the phone). We can then have a discovery call to chat about your issue, what you are expecting and how I can help.
If you decide to choose me as your hypnotherapist, I will send you a confirmation email which has all the details you need, including a link for my consultation and consent form to be filled in prior to the session. I require a £10 deposit to secure your booking (bank transfer details on that email) and the remainder to be paid 48 hours prior to our session.
What happens in a typical hypnotherapy session?
First of all I offer you a drink - tea, coffee herbal teas are available. You will also have a glass of water too. We will then have a chat to help you feel at ease, and to answer any questions/dispel any worries you may have. I'll talk you through the process of hypnosis, and what I propose to do during the session - double checking that you are happy to proceed. Then the hypnotherapy proper will begin - I record it (with your consent) so that I can sent it to you so that you can listen to it again (I don't check up on this, so don't worry if you never touch it!). After the hypnosis, we have another chat to se how you feel and discuss anything you want to share about your experience - I find people often like to tell me their experience - but don't worry if you don't - everyone processes things in their own time and their own way!
How many sessions do I need?
This is the question I always get asked, yet the hardest to answer. I'm not going to use the analogy of 'how long is a piece of string' - (oh hang on - I just did!!). But seriously, it is very hard to accurately predict how many sessions it may take - it depends on the issue, the severity of the issue/how deeply ingrained it is, but even that isn't necessarily a predictor as a lady I helped had a 47-year long phobia and was 'cured' with just 2 sessions. Having said that, I find that 3-5 sessions is a good average to work with. For that reason I offer a discount for a block booking of 4 sessions - you can have the first session, see if you like me, and then choose to opt in to the 4 session discount, so that each session, including the first is at the discounted price!
Do I need to commit to a certain number of sessions/a session every week?
No - Yo don't need to commit to anything with me - this is your journey, and you will know what is right for you! Some people like to really go for it once they have started on the journey and will have 2 sessions (or more) a week - others like to take the time to really absorb and reflect between sessions and so may like to space them out more. Whichever feels right for you! I don't prescribe to the model other hypnotherapists may use that you have to sign up to X amount of sessions - that's a business tactic and not in the interest of my client!
