I am a hypno-psychotherapist, which means that I use hypnosis as one of my tools for helping clients to make changes in their lives. The most common issues that I work with are helping people to overcome anxiety and phobia and to gain confidence to make changes, including losing weight or improving their relationships. I have worked with many people who were traumatised, neglected or abused in childhood, and who in adult life have been drawn to abusive relationships and extreme behaviour, including self-harm. In all cases my approach is to identify your strengths and build upon them, helping you gain confidence to take control of your own life. I have a special interest in helping clients who have already had extensive psychotherapy and counselling without success, or who have previously been unable to experience hypnosis.
