A little about my Professional Background
I started my career devising abuse prevention and recovery programmes over 30 years ago before moving into education, and support services.
Whilst in the last twenty years Personal Development, Neuroscience, Mindfulness Meditation & Mindfulness based therapies and Hypnotherapy have been my passion and focus.
Having been personally trained in Compassionate Ericksonian Hypnotherapy by the world renowned expert, Stephen Brooks, my therapy skills exploded, and experience has taught me that this type of therapy is exceptional and something that really helps transform lives, and I absolutely love it.
Stephen remains my continual mentor: He was the first to bring Erickson’s work to the UK and taught the first NLP course in Europe. His additions to these methods are beyond measure.

A little about my
Personal Background
I’ve overcome many things in life; lots of loss, grief, trauma from abusive relationships, fears, smoking, food issues, anxiety, and navigating through the menopause.
I've also had the great fortune to bring up two amazing sons, and be in a happy and healthy relationship now.
Life's ups, and downs have taught me so much. Especially about how suffering, recovery & great happiness are possible, all in one lifetime.
Empathy and care for all animals (including humans) has always come easily to me.
And I've got an optimistic, warm nature and absolutely love the life I live right now.
So, in my free time I love playing with my little grandchildren, walking in the woods, or by the canal with my lovely husband and grown up sons. Also gardening, cooking and baking sourdough bread are great passions for me. And carving out time for painting, singing and playing guitar is something I’ll commit to this year for sure.
What Therapy with me is like
And Why it Works so Effectively
You’ll find me very friendly and down to earth, and fully supportive.
I deeply care about your transformation, and I’m always learning and developing my skills so that I can find the best way to help you.
I’m a big fan of simple too, so I'll find the simplest solutions, so you can just get on with your life.
I won’t be fitting you into ‘my method’ as I’ll design the therapy around you, and at a pace that suits you. Everyone’s so unique, and that’s one of the reasons why I enjoy the sessions so much myself.
I'll simply be guiding you, helping you find your inner resources, that may be hidden right now. These will give you the power to make changes in a way that can often feel very natural and achievable, because they come from you.
Real life can be hard to navigate, and sometimes a little guidance to get us back on track can work wonders.
