About Me
I have received specialist training in integrating hypnotherapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Basically, CBT helps people to understand how their thoughts (cognitions) influence their emotions, feelings and behaviour.
My approach combines traditional CBT with hypnosis in helping clients change the way they think and behave at a subconscious level. For example, clients may be taught how to recognise their own negative beliefs about themselves. Clients are then taught how to change these negative patterns and restructure the way they think. By combining CBT with hypnosis these changes can be brought about much more quickly.
I trained under Donald Robertson at the UK College of Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy. Donald is one of the most eminent and respected figures in the field of hypnotherapy in the UK. Donald is accredited Senior Clinician Hypnotherapist status by the National Council for Hypnotherapy and Senior Qualification in Hypnotherapy Practice by the General Hypnotherapy Register

The NCFE is recognised as an awarding body by The Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) in England.

Educating the Client
An important requirement of the NOS for Hypnotherapy involves educating the client in self-care. I teach all clients self-hypnosis and other relaxation skills. All clients are given a FREE CD to help them learn at home between sessions. My aim is for clients to finish therapy confident they have learned new skills that will last them a lifetime.
