Some can point to what's driving it. Some have carried it so long they can't remember it being any other way. Others simply want to feel more like themselves again.
Often the challenge is personal, professional, or — more usually — a combination of the two. A difficult job that follows you home. A life change that has unsettled everything. A high-stakes moment you can't stop rehearsing. Whatever brings you here, the aim is the same: to help you feel calmer, clearer, and more in control of how you respond.
THE APPROACH
Support grounded in your day-to-day reality
Although we cannot change past experiences, we can work on reducing the impact they may still be having in the present. Where certain thoughts, feelings, or patterns are holding you back, our sessions can help you develop a different relationship with them, so they feel less disruptive and less limiting over time.
The best outcomes are achieved through a collaborative approach, working together in a way that feels supportive, focused, and tailored to your needs. My position is that you are the expert on your life, and I bring the clinical training and strategy.
This isn't about learning theory. Many of us already know what we should or shouldn't do — the difficulty is breaking the cycle and responding differently in the moment.
I draw on a range of recognised therapeutic models, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), mindfulness-based approaches and clinical hypnosis, so that sessions are built around you rather than fitted to a template and focus on practical, constructive ways of supporting change.
A solution-focused approach means we spend less time dwelling on the problem itself and more time exploring where you want to get to, what strengths and resources you already have, and what may help you move forward. The aim is to support meaningful, positive change in a way that feels manageable and relevant to you.
WHY ME?
Rooted in training, clinical experience and lived experience
I've worn a number of different hats through life. My first career was in banking, so I understand what sustained pressure does to a person — the long hours, the uncertainty, the need to perform while everything shifts around you.
My understanding of resilience is personal, too. I've navigated adversity and built a life from difficult foundations, and I know what it takes to remain steady when the ground moves beneath you.
I trained at the Clifton Practice, a National Council for Hypnotherapy accredited school, where I gained my Diploma in Solution Focused Psychotherapy and Hypnotherapy and the externally validated Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma. Since then I've completed a Diploma in Medical Hypnotherapy, Levels 1 and 2 in EFT, and training in the Rewind Technique with the International Association for Rewind Trauma Therapy. I'm an accredited member of the National Council for Hypnotherapy, a member of the Association for Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, and I work to their codes of ethics.
I've worked with hundreds of clients across the UK, including those worn down by the sort of anxiety that has gradually narrowed their experience of life, professionals navigating buy-outs and restructuring, high performers caught in compulsive overthinking who want to switch off and be present with their families, clients facing health anxiety after a life-changing event, and students under sustained academic pressure.
