I care deeply about each person I work with

Having worked with 100’s of my own clients and 1000’s of clients whilst teaching and assessing students in my role as a Therapy Lecturer, I’ve been able to hone my skills and develop a deep understanding of therapeutic work including CBT and hypnotherapy.

I’ve learned a lot about what clients need and how to create plans that really make a difference. I also have a deep understanding of the therapuetic work I do and the psychology behind it. I’m passionate about Cognitive behavioural Therapy and Hypnotherapy and the beenfits they have to offer whilst also being deeply relaxaing and ejoyable too.

I care deeply about each person I work with, and I aim to make them feel safe and supported every step of the way. It’s incredibly rewarding to help people overcome challenges, gain new perspectives, and see positive changes in their lives. 

The skills you will learn with me will be with you for a lifetime going beyond helping you to being a foundation for your life and those around you.
