My Story
For years, I found myself caught in a relentless cycle of anxiety. No matter what I tried, nothing seemed to bring lasting relief—until I witnessed the incredible transformation a friend experienced through hypnotherapy. That moment changed everything.
Curious and hopeful, I began my own journey. The shift was remarkable. The version of me who always put others first—often at the expense of my own wellbeing—began to fade. With the gentle, structured support of my therapist, the heaviness of feeling stuck gave way to a growing sense of confidence and possibility.
Week by week, the constant negative chatter that once filled my mind softened. The anxious thoughts that used to race endlessly began to quieten, and the familiar knot of dread in my stomach eased. In its place, a calmer, clearer way of thinking emerged.
I started noticing small but meaningful changes. I found myself doing things I’d avoided for years—things fear and self doubt had kept firmly out of reach. As these changes took root, I felt energised, inspired, and genuinely optimistic about the future.
For the first time in a long time, my mind felt peaceful. I rediscovered my ability to set healthy boundaries and approach daily challenges with confidence and calm. Hypnotherapy helped me reconnect with a sense of control and freedom I hadn’t realised I’d lost.
That experience sparked something powerful in me. I knew I wanted to help others find the same sense of clarity, strength, and ease. That’s when my path toward becoming a hypnotherapist truly began.
Today, I am a fully qualified Clinical Hypnotherapist, trained at the renowned Clifton Practice in Bristol. I specialise in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy—a unique and effective blend of talking therapy and hypnosis. I am fully insured and a registered member of the National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH) and the Association for Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (AfSFH). I follow their strict guidelines on data protection, ongoing professional development, and clinical supervision to ensure the highest standard of care. I also offer Health Coaching obtaining a qualification in Heath Coaching from the European Mentoring & Coaching Council.
Outside of my work, you’ll often find me enjoying long countryside walks with my camera, spending time with friends and family, or relaxing at home with my husband and our pets.
