My Story

For long as I can remember I have had a natural ability and passion for empowering people and helping them the overcome obstacles in their lives.
I have always been drawn and able to help and encourage to see things from a different angle and to see the reality of what is causing them issue.
Friends as well as complete strangers have always found it easy to confide in me and felt safe enough to tell me things that sometimes they have never shared before. From a young age I’ve had a natural inbuilt understanding and ability to know the right thing to say.

It’s always been clear to me that whatever the issue a person is facing, the cause is usually emotional and it began in their past.

This led me to train in Reiki to Master level and to qualify as an energy healer.

But it was the discovery of Hypnotherapy, through a chance conversation with a close friend that was the catalyst for me finding my true vocation.

As things in life tend to do when they’re meant to be, everything fell into place, and I began training with Lorraine Gleeson at the Hampshire School of Hypnotherapy within the week. I gained my Diploma in Hypnotherapy as well as qualifications in Clinical Hypnosis, NLP and Parts Therapy. I have since completed more specialized training in areas such as weight management, fears and phobias, smoking cessation, habit and addictions and pain management and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique – ‘Tapping’)

I continue my professional development regularly, attending regular CPD workshops and deepen my knowledge and skills with further training when I feel drawn to.

Hypnotherapy in Southampton
Hypnotherapy has enabled me to really put my beliefs, skills, and passion into practice. It enables my clients to uncover the true reason for the problem they are facing, to deal with it gently and safely and so change their thoughts, actions and feelings in the most positive ways.

Our thoughts affect so much of our lives, which means hypnotherapy is not a ‘sticking plaster’ type of therapy that helps for a while but not permanently. Instead, it resolves the problem, leaving it in the past where it belongs. Enabling my client to move on to a happier, healthier and more successful future.

I offer client-centred hypnotherapy using Gestalt, Inner Child, Regression, NLP, EFT and other techniques. This natural combination enables you to use the power of your own mind to make the all necessary changes you are looking to achieve.

During my sessions the main focus is what you want to achieve from the therapy, rather than the issues in the way.

Working in my relaxed Southampton practice as well as offering sessions online means there is no limit to the people I’m able to help to live their best possible life.
This for me is the most rewarding thing in the world.
