Counselling can support you through anxiety, low mood, overwhelm, trauma, sleep issues, disordered eating, phobias, self-esteem challenges, life transitions, IBS, pain management, confidence and more. It’s a safe, non-judgemental space to explore what’s going on, at your pace.

Everyone’s journey in therapy is unique, and there’s no set formula for how long it “should” take.

Some people come looking for practical tools and strategies to help manage specific challenges, and find that’s just what they need. Others are drawn to deeper, ongoing exploration — making sense of past experiences, patterns or emotions that feel harder to untangle alone.

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach. What matters is that we work at a pace that feels right for you. Whether you’re seeking clarity, relief, emotional growth or simply a space to be heard, we’ll shape our time together around your needs and intentions — however they evolve.

A standard hypnotherapy session is approximately 50 minutes. I tailor each session to every client and use a combination of modalities including talking therapy, EFT Tapping, NLP (near-linguistic programming) techniques, Mindfulness and Breathwork. I finish our session with around 20 minutes of trance or hypnosis, where I guide you into deep levels of relaxation where your subconscious mind can focus on the positive and helpful suggestions and thoughts made.

The answers is yes! Hypnotherapy is an effective method for coping with stress and anxiety. It can help with many other conditions as well as it addresses the subconscious, instead of just the conscouis mind. Studies have found that it has a better success rate, with fewer sessions needed than both psychotherapy and behavioural therapy. It is a collaborative journey and so to achieve the best results, clients do need to put some work in too. Please read some of my testimonials from previous clients to learn a bit more.

Yes! You are in complete control and you cannot be made to do, say, think or accept anything against your will. You will be aware of everything that is happening and although you may not hear every word I say you will be in full control throughout the session. The depth of your hypnotic trance will depend on your willingness to ‘let go’ and trust the process. I will make suggestions and guide your subconscious mind but you will be fully aware of the conversation.

Yes! Please do listen to your hypnotic download every time you go to sleep. This will help the process greatly. Repetition is good for the unconscious mind and new ways of thinking turn into new habits. I suggest listening every day – or every other day if you can’t find the time – for about a month to see and feel differently.

NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) helps you identify unhelpful thought patterns and reframe them with positive language and imagery. It supports emotional shifts, clearer thinking, and helps forge new neural pathways — often used in combination with other techniques to reinforce change.

You can book a relaxation session whenever you want, a bit like booking a massage. It will help you relax and give you lots of calming suggestions. These sessions are a bit shorter as they only consist of the a brief chat and catch up followed by the trance.

Those suffering from medical conditions such as those with psychiatric conditions (for example, psychosis, personality disorder, schizophrenia and bipolar) should not engage in hypnotherapy. People with life-threatening diseases should consult their GP/doctor before using hypnotherapy. Anyone who is unsure about whether hypnotherapy would suit their issue/medication can be put at ease by consulting their GP/doctor before booking a session.

Yes. It has been found that counselling or other therapies such as hypnotherapy can be equally effective during online sessions and I have met with many clients using Zoom, FaceTime and Teams over the years. You need to ensure that you have a good internet connection and you have a place where you can feel safe and private to make the best out of the sessions. I will ask for emergency contact details for safeguarding reasons.

You can contact me online through my website email or by phone. If you leave a message, I will endevour to get back to you that same day and we can either chat then or arrange a time for me to chat further and book in our initial consultaion. Payments can be made via bank transfer or in person via cash.

Please let me have a minimum of 48 hours’ notice for all cancellations. I reserve the right to charge late cancellations, forgotten or missed appointments at the full rate. I am aware that life happens and therefore I do try and be as flexible as possible.

That’s completely okay. I offer a free, no-pressure chat so you can see if we’re a good fit. If not, I’ll happily help signpost you to someone who might be better suited.
