“My experience with the therapy methods I use is deeply personal. It is how I know it works & it allows me to provide effective sessions.”
Therapy, based on lived experience.
Perhaps you are here to help find a way to overcome a problem, or situation you are experiencing yourself. Maybe you are here to help someone else in your family. Either way I understand from personal experience that trying to find a solution can sometimes be hard & confusing and finding the right treatment can feel impossible.
My journey with EMDR & hypnotherapy started at the age of 14. Following traumatic experiences at school coupled with other parts of life, such as family issues & bereavements, I was diagnosed with anxiety & depression, & I felt hopeless.
I had totally lost control of every aspect of my life & frankly was in despair. From a private school setting this led to having to become home schooled & with no sense of self-worth & questioning my own existence.
After spending years seeing all different kinds of talking therapists, I was still stuck in the same cycle of old stories with painful memories.
I then took an alternative approach & it changed my life forever, as I hope to with yours.
How hypnotherapy & EMDR make a difference.
After years of trying to find a treatment that worked for me, I had EMDR to remove all those destructive negative emotions & feelings, followed with Hypnotherapy to change deep down how I thought, acted & felt about myself.
Since then, life has only ever been positive! This type of therapy is focused on taking action which has helped me to become the person I am today. Over 10 years after the start of my journey I have dedicated my work to applying the transformative treatment that changed my life to help others.
As a fully qualified EMDR specialist & Clinical Hypnotherapist who understands the benefits & results of the treatments I offer, I truly practice what I preach! My key objective is to make deep & long-lasting change in people’s lives using my skills & experience.
Professional informed treatment.
Since the start of my journey, I have studied Health & Social Care, Counselling, hypnotherapy & of course EMDR. But the journey doesn’t stop there.
As a therapist I continue to learn & grow the techniques that are used to make sure that the people who I work with get the best possible results & I also am a member of the Local Advisory Board for Northampton Hospital & Outreach Education. I am also a registered hypnotherapist on the GHR a professional organisation recognised in over 35 countries to ensure its members adhere to strict standards of practice.

This gives me a fresher perspective through the eyes of the world I live in & based on my own past experiences, I can genuinely relate to the issues faced.
