My first experience of hypnosis was 16 years ago.  I had just been diagnosed with cancer and though I was undergoing conventional treatment, I was also keen to look at other ways in which I could improve my health both physically and emotionally.  I had read a book called Love, Medicine & Miracles by an oncologist named Dr. Bernie Siegal, and the idea that the mind has tremendous influence over the body seemed perfectly logical to me.  I used self hypnosis throughout and after my treatment and found it immensely helpful. Amongst other things, it allowed me to feel less helpless, which for me was terribly important.  I swore that if I were fortunate enough to recover, I would train in hypnosis, which is exactly what I did.

During my training I have had the opportunity to learn from some of the best in this field.  I have worked with Richard Bandler, co-developer of NLP, and Paul McKenna, world famous hypnotherapist.   I have also had the privilege of working with Gil Boyne, creator of the first hypnotherapy society in America and most recently with the brilliant Phil Parker, who designed The Lightning Process. I completed Advanced Training in Hypno-Analysis & Psychotherapy with SACH, one of the most respected training schools in the country.  I hold the title of Senior Hypnotherapist which is given to therapists with a significant amount of experience in the field of Clinical Hypnotherapy.  I am also a great believer in continued professional development, so I have trained in many other areas throughout the last 14 years and will continue to do so.  

Having worked as a therapist for over 10 years, I remain as passionate today as when I first started.  I am completely committed to helping you resolve your problems in whatever way is the right way for you.  I have had the privilege and pleasure of sharing in the life changing experiences of so many, from young children through to people in there 80’s and it is from these people that I have learned the most – so thank you one and all.
