About me...
Training
I completed my training at The Clifton Practice, one of the leading hypnotherapy centres in the South West where I gained a Diploma in Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy (DHP and HPD). I am a member of the National Council for Hypnotherapists (NCH) and a committee member of the Association for Solution Focused Hypnotherapists (AfSFH). As a member of these associations I adhere to a strict code of ethics. The HPD is a nationally recognised qualification at level 4 on the National Qualifications Framework; this is an endorsement of the quality, amount and level of learning. I am also a member of the CNHC.
Background
I am passionate about helping people; I have been a teacher for over 10 years and really enjoyed the pastoral, caring side of the teaching role. Having used hypnotherapy myself to make immense changes in my own life I decided I could help more people by making a career change. My first encounter with hypnotherapy was to stop smoking, something I had been trying to do unsuccessfully for years; I found it easy with hypnotherapy. Due the success I had seen with smoking I again turned to hypnotherapy to help manage pain and aid healing with major surgery; another success. Since my first encounter with this therapy I have gone from strength to strength and met many others who have done so too.
What is hypnotherapy and Solution Focused Brief Therapy?
Solution Focused Brief Therapy deals in solutions, not problems, it is focused and not forced. Hypnotherapy is a safe, powerful psychotherapeutic tool which can be used to break the negative cycle of depression and anxiety. It can help with: addictions, anger, blood pressure, weight control, exam nerves, lack of confidence, insomnia, IBS, relationship/marital difficulties, migraine, nail biting, nightmares, obsessions, panic attacks, fears, phobias, stress and many more. Hypnotherapy uses the application of hypnotic techniques to bring about therapeutic change and is a very pleasant and relaxing experience. Conditions such as anxiety, depression, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), agoraphobia, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and migraines are all ways that excess or sustained stress can affect our well-being.
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (SFH) tackles these conditions by reducing anxiety and helping to regain a sense of perspective; once anxiety is under control many troublesome symptoms are alleviated. The therapy encourages positive thinking by helping you to focus on solutions to problems, rather than dwelling on the problems themselves. Clients usually find their sleep patterns improve and motivation, confidence and self-esteem are all restored.

FAQs
How should I choose a hypnotherapist?
Make sure they are a registered member of an accrediting organisation such as NCH, this ensures the practitioner adheres to a strict code of ethics and that they hold the HPD (Hypnotherapy Practitioners Diploma), this is a rigorous course that is recognised within the Framework for Higher Education Qualifications in England, Wales and Northern Ireland (FHEQ) and has Open University Approved Credit rating
What is hypnosis?
Put simply hypnosis is the natural harnessing of focused thought, this is coupled with Solution Focused Behavioural Therapy ((SFBT), so focused thought on what you want and so therefore finding your solution.
Are there some people who cannot go in to trance?
No, we all go in and out of trance throughout the day, like when you watch TV and miss a bit or drive a familiar route and miss a bit. Trance is like daydreaming but you do have to want to be relaxed.
Will I be aware of what is happening?
Yes, at all times.
Will I fall asleep?
No, but you will feel very relaxed.
Will I lose control?
No, trance is just deep concentration, you are focusing intently on one thing but you can bring your self around to focus on something else whenever you want to. Again, to think of driving a car, you may be daydreaming about what to have for dinner but if something ran out in front of you you would re-focus and apply the brake.
How many sessions will I need?
This is very much dependant on the issue and your own level of motivation. Smoking is one session, phobias are 3 sessions, issues such as long standing depression etc. may take 10-12 sessions. Childbirth is typically between 4 and 6 sessions. However each treatment is tailored to each client and the programme of therapy designed according, it is not a one size fits all approach.
Can I get stuck in trance?
No, you can become fully alert at any time you choose to.
