Depression affects a great many people worldwide, and can be debilitating, preventing you from enjoying the little things in everyday life. Ongoing research into the causes of depression reveal that a chemical imbalance is the cause of only a small percentage of cases. This means that depression is most likely psychological, and so can be overcome with professional help. 

The way we work means that the client is the centre of our focus, allowing you to find the space you need to make lasting change and get back to enjoying all that life has to offer.

Low self esteem and confidence can both affect the way you see your life but fixing your confidence level and reestablishing good self esteem is easier than you think.

By changing your attitude to yourself and your inner voice you will begin to see yourself in a different light.  I can teach you how to become more aware of your emotional reactions, and ultimately become the confident self assured person you want to be.

A panic attack is your brains way of removing you or helping you avoid a particular situation, location or feeling. At some point in your life history your brain has learnt that creating this response is the best way to keep you safe. I have great news! BWRT can change this learnt response so you can be free from those feelings of panic. BWRT is fast, effective and long lasting and will help you to re-discover the joy of everyday life.

A huge 79% of adults in the UK experience work related stress. Work related stress has become one of the main reasons why people are absent from work and factors such as loss of job security have only made the number of people suffering from stress increase. I am passionate about the way businesses conduct their mental health policies, and work with their employees to help reduce the levels of stress they experience.

Working with me means more than managing stress, it means kicking it to the kerb. Changing the way you manage workloads and situations in the workplace is the first step to becoming stress-free. Challenging the way employers deal with their staff is the next step, but de-stressing is more about self management than stress management - we’ll work to lessen the stress you feel in the workplace and outside it.

Feeling consumed by anxiety about an upcoming exam? Exams and tests can be some of the most stressful - and unfortunately unavoidable - circumstances we find ourselves in. Not only are these situations stressful in themselves, but the anticipation is stressful too. We find ourselves worrying about whether we may pass or fail, and these thoughts begin to affect our ability to revise and, in turn, affects how we perform. 

Our therapies are extremely beneficial at helping with recall, soothing anxiety and aiding general mental preparation for exam nerves. By refocusing the unconscious part of the mind, you are able to tap into your strength and resources, and achieve the positive outcome you are looking for.

Whether fear of a creature, object or social situation, the physical and emotional reactions of experiencing a fear or phobia can make you feel like you’re not in control, and can have a huge impact on your everyday life. 

I have a great deal of experience in managing fear and phobias, and would like you to know that you can make a positive change. BWRT, one of the most significant developments in therapy, has been known to fix a phobia in just one session. We will work on your phobia together: you are more powerful than you could possibly imagine.

Over my years in practise, I have found that people can feel guilty for all kinds of things; they didn’t go to a party they were invited to; they didn’t remember a distant relative’s birthday; they accidentally ran over their neighbour’s cat. 

Guilt is one of the most destructive emotions we experience. It can eat away at you, create negativity and lower your self worth - but guilt is not something we are born with, and it can be unlearnt. You have no reason to feel guilty. Get in touch to kickstart the unlearning process.

During my fifteen years experience as a therapist, I have helped many sports players achieve their goals, working with golfers, archers, swimmers, runners and hockey players to name a few. 

Our therapies involve sports psychology, using tools such as visualisation, breathing techniques and positive self talk to help you achieve your desired goals.

My speciality in this field is equine sports; I have been riding horses since the age of 6, and have owned horses both in the UK and the USA. Along the way, I have trained with some amazing people, and have a deep interest in the human-equine relationship.

If you want to build a more understanding relationship with your horse, then making small changes in your own behaviour can make a huge difference. With over 40 years experience working with and owning horses I can help you regain your confidence and rediscover the joy of spending time with your horse.

Hypnotherapy has been proved to help manage the pain associated with irritable bowel syndrome. There is evidence to support the use of hypnotherapy for IBS in both adults and children and the National Institute for Health and Clinical Guidance (NICE) recommends the NHS should consider referring patients for hypnotherapy if their irritable bowel is persistent and has failed to respond to simple prescribed medicine. 

To find out more about the benefits of hypnotherapy for IBS, please get in touch with me, or book an initial consultation.

Did you know hypnosis can have an extremely positive effect on sleep? Mood changes, memory issues and a weakened immune system are just a few of the symptoms caused by sleep deprivation, but it doesn’t have to be this way. Many of my clients, no matter the different life challenges they are going through, have experienced improved sleep as a result of hypnotherapy. 

Taking this advantage one step further, I offer a programme to improve sleep patterns, which integrates hypnotherapy with other tried and tested methods to improve your ability to get a good night’s sleep.

Constantly pushing back tasks on your to-do list? Putting things off is a sure fire way to fail. Successful people are proactive, and do the things they dislike because they keep their end goal in mind. With the right help, changing your mindset from one of procrastination to one of proactivity is much easier than you might think. To put a stop to your bad habits, get in touch with me.

Anger or aggression is an emotional reaction to a situation where we have lost control of the ability to choose an appropriate response. Often, underlying frustrations or challenges, which we may not even be consciously aware of, cause this negative response. 

Our therapies help you overcome these frustrations to make better choices in situations in which you have become angry in the past. With the right help, you can discard previously learnt responses, and regain control over your emotional self. 

Habits are repetitive behaviours which become ingrained in our everyday life. As you go through life, your habits can change; you can find new habits and lose old ones, but some linger, and you may find yourself struggling to let go of those behaviours which no longer serve you. I have worked with clients to remove habits such as nail biting; overeating, procrastination; drinking; smoking; lateness and thumb sucking. All of these habits can be discarded from your life with the right help. 

Hypnotherapy and BWRT are both great tools for habit removal, disrupting habit loops which have been formed over time. 

Smoking is not only highly dangerous to your health and extremely expensive, but it has, in recent years, become thoroughly unsociable. Do you want to stand alone outside with a cigarette, when you could be enjoying the company of healthier friends and family members? 

Now is the time to change. Quitting smoking with the help of hypnosis is remarkably easy. It only takes commitment and one session to break free of a bad habit, which was never a natural part of who you are.
