My Story

I know how important it is to choose a therapist who is right for you, so I will tell you a little bit about myself to help you make your decision.

​

Throughout my own life, for as long as I can remember I have lived with anxiety and confidence issues. I thought that's just the way I am and carried on regardless. I achieved lots in my life feeling this way, but everything seemed so difficult. This constant anxiety and feeling that I wasn't good enough caused me to become ill, and in 2008 I was diagnosed with M.E and Asthma. Trying to heal from this was tough going, but I learnt so much about the mind and body connection and how anxiety and stress can cause physical symptoms and illness. I have tried many types of therapy, but hypnotherapy completely transformed me. It's the ability to communicate with the subconscious part of the brain that makes it so quick and effective. 

​

As well as being a fully qualified Clinical Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist I am also a qualified Teacher. I achieved Qualified Teacher Status in 2002 and enjoyed a long career working as a full-time classroom teacher in both mainstream and special education schools.

Following on from my career in teaching I wanted to continue to do something where I can make a real difference to people's lives. I was interested to learn more about hypnotherapy because of the way it has helped me overcome challenges in my life, so after a career break to bring up my own children I decided to study psychology and hypnotherapy and embark on a new career as a therapist.

​

I love helping people to address and let go of negative, false beliefs about themselves and learn about who they truly are beneath the protective behaviours and shields they may have built around themselves, in order to achieve their true potential in life, because everyone deserves that. So if you are struggling with anything in your life that you would like help with, get in touch, I would love to hear from you.

​

As well as being a therapist, I am also a happily married mum to two gorgeous daughters. When I'm not busy working and studying (which I absolutely love), I also enjoy reading, nature photography, camping, long walks in nature, swimming and springboard diving and spending time with my family.
