If you're feeling 'stuck' in some way, then clinical solution focused hypnotherapy is an effective, long-lasting, evidence-based therapy that can help you make positive changes to move forward in your life. You've come to the right person! Anxiety has a lot to answer for. It's the root of so many issues. Whether you're facing challenges like stress, excessive worrying, phobias, habits you'd like to change, or simply want to rediscover your inner strength, I can offer a path to help you overcome some of these challenges and unlock your potential. Through science-backed techniques, I'm here to guide you in understanding what's happening in your mind - and empowering you to turn that around. With hypnotherapy, I aim support you in working toward positive, lasting changes that align with your goals. I see adults and children (age 8+) at my private therapy practice in Ferndown, Dorset, and online via video call (Zoom).

I have a Diploma in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (DFSH) from CPHT Bristol, which is considered the gold standard of SFH, as well as a Clinical Practice Diploma (HPD) from the National Council for Hypnotherapy. I am registered with the Association for Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (AfSFH), the National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH) and an associate of the Complementary and National Healthcare Council (CNHC).

I am a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist and clinical practitioner who offers a warm, supportive, and practical approach to therapy rooted in science and positive change. I specialise in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (SFH), which is a forward-looking, evidence-based method that helps you move beyond feeling 'stuck' by focusing on where you want to be, rather than dwelling on the past. In sessions, I create a safe, non-judgemental space where we explore how thoughts, emotions, habits and behaviours are interconnected and work effectively and collaboratively towards your goals, whether that's reducing anxiety and stress, overcoming phobias, breaking unwanted habits, building confidence, or improving performance in daily life. I work with adults and children (age 8+) both in person at my private practice in Dorset and online, tailoring every session to your individual needs so you can make positive, lasting changes that feel achievable and empowering.
