Welcome

Whether you’re seeking personal change or exploring options for a loved one, I’m here to guide you through the transformation journey. Together, we’ll quieten the anxiety and restore that sense of purpose and well-being that might have been missing for a long time.

Taking the first step towards freedom

I know how overwhelming it can feel to reach out for help. That brave first message, that initial step towards change – it takes courage and I acknowledge and admire that courage in every client I work with.

Your journey begins with compassion. Every enquiry is handled with complete sensitivity and care and I offer a complimentary consultation with a gentle relaxation session in the comfort of my private therapy room. This gives you the opportunity to experience hypnotherapy in a safe, supportive environment before making any commitments.

Personalised healing at your pace

Your healing journey is uniquely yours. Sessions move at your pace, in your time, when it feels right for you. There's no pressure, no rush – just steady, supportive progress towards the life you deserve.

The transformation I witness never ceases to amaze me. Week after week, I watch clients get rid of the burdens they've carried, finally breaking free from issues that once seemed insurmountable. But what truly matters is how they feel – happier, more content and genuinely excited about their future.

Professional expertise, lasting results

As a qualified practitioner in neuro-linguistic programming too, I combine these powerful techniques with talking therapy and hypnotherapy to create a comprehensive approach to healing. Together, we'll uncover the root causes of your challenges and develop a personalised plan for lasting change using the remarkable power of your subconscious mind. We all have one.

No matter what you're facing – or how long you've been struggling – freedom absolutely is possible. I will help you release the negative subconscious blocks, limiting beliefs and trapped emotions that are holding you back from living your fullest life.

Ready to transform your life?

I have years of experience working with clients age 12 to 80 - and I look forward to helping you too.

Please browse through my website to learn more about how I can support you on your journey. If you have questions, I'm here to help, so please don't hesitate to contact me.

Change your mind, change your life.

🚨After last week’s jury service, my nervous system was tired and I was unusually tearful. So a friend’s 60th birthday trip to Paris was perfectly timed - and exactly what I needed. 🇫🇷

😆There is something genuinely therapeutic about being with good friends too; the ones who make you laugh until your sides ache, who let you debrief everything over coffee and croissants - and who remind you of who you are underneath the heavy stuff. ☕️🥐

🔬And I guess the science backs it up too. It lowers cortisol, boosts oxytocin and helps the brain and nervous system genuinely reset. Connection isn’t just lovely, it’s medicine.

🌼 Self-care isn’t selfish, it’s essential.

🌸 So how are you feeling today? Truthfully?

🙌 A new month is a natural moment to pause, reflect and ask yourself - how am I really doing?

If any of these resonated, maybe it’s time to take that first step.

Whether it’s anxiety, confidence, sleep or just a feeling that something needs to change then hypnotherapy might be just what you’re looking for.

I’d love to help. 🧡

This review just made my week. 🧡

🏅74 years old.
🏅Three sessions via Teams.
🏅The 2026 London Marathon.

It was an absolute pleasure working with this lovely client. I am honoured that she put her trust in me for that extra confidence boost and to silence that negative inner critic.

🏃‍♀️And of course I can’t take credit for the miles she put in, but knowing that hypnotherapy played a small part in her crossing that finish line means such a lot. This is why I love what I do. 🫶

👏👏So proud of you. You know who you are.

🤫 For the past 8 days I’ve been on jury service, either on standby at home or at court.

✅ It’s done now, I’m back and I’m already thinking about what I need to do to help me decompress properly.

🧘I don’t think it’ll take long to sort a plan, perhaps some gentle exercise and a couple of meditations to help me process the events of the past few days - so that I’m refreshed and ready to see clients from next week.

🤐 I think the trouble is, when we can’t talk about things, our nervous system still feels the weight and the burden; not to mention the huge responsibility, albeit one that is shared with 11 other (lovely) jurors.

🎒So if you’ve been carrying something heavy lately, whatever that might look like, I hope you’re finding ways to look after yourself too.

😊For me, exercise, reflection and a little self-compassion are all on the menu for the rest of this week. ❤️

🌼 So look after yourself and remember that self-care isn’t selfish, it’s essential - whether you’re carrying heavy things or not.

#selfcare #emotions #mentalhealth

🙌Have the best weekend. 🗓️ Whatever the next couple of days look like for you - busy, slow, or somewhere in between - I hope you find at least one moment that’s just for you.

No agenda. No to-do list. Just a little space to breathe, fill your cup and get ready for the week ahead.

You deserve it. 💛

#weekend #selfcare #rest

🧘 So I just resumed my daily position for my 10 minute morning meditation and the opening sentence was “Welcome to another beautiful day on this earth …”

🌎 And today of all days, I realised what a timely reminder it was to be grateful for each new day and for the wonderful planet we live on.

🌿Sometimes it’s good to just take a moment to be grateful for all that we are and all that we have. 😊

🔁 I’ve also shared to my story, and reposted, an informative post from Mind if you are concerned about the effects of climate change on your mental health.

✨There’s a bittersweet moment that every therapist will know - moving a client’s file to the archive folder.💻

A little pang, because you’ve been on quite a journey together. Then a smile, because the work is done. 😊

They came, they worked through something and they left feeling so much better than when they arrived.

✨ Watching that transformation never gets old.
It’s genuinely the best part of this job.✨

#therapist #hypnotherapy #clientappreciation #anxiety

Bold claim? Maybe. 😏 But when you work with the subconscious mind - the part responsible for your habits, beliefs and emotional responses - change stops feeling so hard.

That’s hypnotherapy. And that’s why I’m a little bit obsessed with it. ✨

#hypnotherapy #selfcare #therapy #selfempowerment

😣 When you feel stressed, anxious or uncertain in any way at all, your brain does what it’s designed to do - it protects you.

🛑 And one of the ways it does that is by steering you away from anything that feels threatening or uncomfortable. So it distracts you, delays you and finds you something else, literally anything else, to do instead.

📱Can you relate to scrolling, for example, instead of doing what you should be doing!!

The problem is, the more we avoid something, the more our subconscious mind learns that avoidance works. And over time, it becomes a well-practised pattern. You don’t even realise you’re doing it.

😊 When I work with clients on procrastination, we don’t tackle the to-do list; we work with the subconscious patterns underneath it. Because when the stress and anxiety are both acknowledged and reduced, the avoidance often dissolves with it.

So you don’t necessarily need more discipline. You might just need to understand what your mind is trying to tell you.

💾 Save this or forward ↗️ it to someone who might need to read it!

🌼 Self-care isn’t selfish, it’s essential.

📲 DM to book your free consultation; you have nothing to lose and so much to gain.

🗓️Another wonderful weekend draws to a close after and busy but well-balanced week in the therapy room; welcoming new and existing clients.

🙏I want to say thank you to 2 people this week.

💍The first is Alex of @francesalexandrajewellery She has the patience of a saint and I loved her recent pendant/earrings workshop.📍Alex is based at Thoresby and her workshop is tucked away above the courtyard. There is nothing that Alex can’t do when it comes to designing, making, repurposing, fixing or re-sizing jewellery.

🩶I learnt how to use tools to cut silver (not easy!) solder, apply enamel, use the kiln - the list goes on - all under her watchful eye, that is when she wasn’t helping the other lovely ladies, answering enquiries or making us coffee and handing out homemade brownies or flapjack (thank you @cozzmoo3 🍪)

🧘The second thank you goes to @liz__thornton of @realise_yoga_reiki for her second monthly reset at the Zen Den. Wow! What a way to spend a Sunday afternoon doing breath-work, stretching, yoga, restorative yoga followed by savasna of course (isn’t that everyone’s favourite part?!) 😆

😊 Feeling happy, relaxed and grateful - always grateful - as the weekend comes to an end and a new week dawns. 🌅 Have a good one, won’t you.

#grateful #hypnotherapy #anxiety

Of course I had to try this latest trend! But I do mean it too of course. Have a good week and don’t let anyone wind you up!

#selfcare #calm #trend #anxiety

It has no doubt been like this for years but for some reason today it was REALLy obvious. 💨 Probably because I was inhaling fruit-flavoured vapour on my way into town 🥴

The vapes look like adult dummies. I know it’s a free world, and we can do what we want (within reason) but when did it become the latest pandemic?

Hypnotherapy helps get to the bottom of the anxiety that vaping is meant to help with. And as I said in the reel, it’s a far more healthy option.

⏩ Feel free to share this with someone you know who might need it. Sow the seed of the gentle therapy that is hypnotherapy - and end that unhealthy addiction.

#hypnotherapy #vape #addiction

📈 I’ve been looking into this and the statistics genuinely shocked me - the average person checks their phone around 58 times a day. (And it bet it’s more for a lot of people!)

So 58 chances for your brain to absorb stress, comparison, negativity and noise - often before you’ve even had breakfast.

You are in control of what you let in so please:

✅ Unfollow accounts that leave you feeling worse about yourself.

✅ Limit the news.

I see time and time again with my clients how constantly scrolling headlines is slowly but surely taking a toll on their mental health.

Your nervous system wasn’t designed for a constant stream of bad news and negativity.

So instead, put the phone down. Step outside. Go for a walk. Let nature give your brain a real dopamine hit, the natural way.

Because you deserve to feel good without a screen telling you how.

🌼Self-care isn’t selfish, it’s essential.

❓How many of these do you do? Let me know in the poll below.

👇 Hit ‘vote’ and remember to be honest!

#selfcare #anxiety #selflove

⚠️ Of course I don’t mean to scare you but I want you to know that so many people are walking around not realising what chronic stress is actually doing to them.

Is that you?

Maybe you just think you’re busy. Or tired. Or you perhaps tell yourself that’s just how I am, maybe a bit of a worrier or highly strung. Always on the go.

🩺 Chronic stress is linked to heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes, depression, anxiety and burnout. And it’s called silent because most people don’t make that connection until their body forces them to stop.

But your body will be keeping the score:

➡️ Cortisol pumping.
➡️ Nervous system stuck on high alert.
➡️ Fight or flight, day in, day out.

You feel tired and irritable and your sleep is disrupted. And eventually, something has to give. 💔

This is what I love sharing though; research shows that people who actively manage their stress are three times less likely to suffer its worst effects, just by doing something about it.

And of course that’s where I come in.

Hypnotherapy and talking therapy work with your nervous system at a really deep level, helping to switch off that constant fight or flight response and actually teaching your mind and body that it’s OK to relax. Something we don’t do often enough.

I want you to know that you don’t have to just push through. There is always another way.

#stress #relax #selfcare

🎯 You have far more potential than you’ve probably ever been allowed to realise. Your subconscious mind holds every belief you’ve ever formed, about who you are and what you’re capable of, and while some of them will lift you, others will have been quietly limiting your potential in the background, often for years - and usually since childhood.

Hypnotherapy works directly with the subconscious mind to gently update those old beliefs that no longer serve you - so that you can finally rise to meet the life you’re truly capable of living. ✈️ What self-limiting beliefs could you do with getting rid of?

(And if you have a fear of flying, I can help with that too).

💙 Blue skies follow grey. Always. ☀️ And I know it doesn’t always feel like that when you’re in the middle of a dark patch, when the heaviness settles in and starts to feel permanent.

But feelings are not facts. And they are not forever.

Every emotion, no matter how overwhelming, is temporary. Anxiety, sadness, low mood, grief - they move through us if we allow them. They are not who we are. They are what we are experiencing right now.

🩶 The grey days are real. They matter. But they do not get to write the whole story. 💙

☀️And sometimes, just like today, you step outside and the sky is a reminder that, on the other side of the rain, something brighter was always waiting.

You don’t have to force the blue sky. You just have to trust it’s coming.

✨ If you’re struggling to find the light right now, talking therapy and hypnotherapy can help you gently navigate the grey and reconnect with your own inner resilience. It’s there - and I can help you get it back.

🌏Where on earth did that week go? Back from Cornwall, over to Sheffield to see our son, meeting with new clients, holding a safe space for my existing clients and launching a new weight loss course with Mags of @clem.and.margaret.turner

🙌 I can’t tell you how much I love the variety that therapy offers - something I’ve never had in any other line of work. 🍾One appointment could be anxiety related and the next stopping vaping. Then reducing alcohol followed by driving test confidence. And all in one day! 🚗

I’ve been thinking too about how flexible hypnotherapy is. I haven’t found anything that it can’t help with yet - well, not over the last two and a half years anyway. I love it.

I finished a session earlier this week with a client who had come back to do some work around his childhood and the word he used to describe it was “powerful.” That says it all, really.

Anyhow, I’d better get back to the task at hand and share this post - but before I do, I want to say a big 🙏 to my followers, as well as to my current and past clients.

🙏Thank you for recommending me, for looking at my stories, for liking, sharing and commenting on my posts. It’s very much appreciated and I never take it for granted.

And if your likes, shares, comments and recommendations encourage just one person to reach out, then it was so worth it.

🌼 Have a good weekend and remember to find some time for you.

#therapy #weekend #relax

People don’t come to me wanting to become someone else. They come because somewhere along the way, anxiety crept in and made them forget who they used to be.

When we work with the subconscious mind and begin to release that anxiety, something beautiful happens - the real person starts to show up again.

The confidence was always there. We just had to clear the way.

📩 If you could do with reducing the impact of anxiety, learning better ways to deal with it and more confidence as a result, please DM me because I’m always happy to chat.

🌼 Nobody can wind you up without your permission.

We’ve all been there! We say things like “She really annoys me” or “He winds me up so much” but they’re not doing it to you. You’re allowing it. You’re giving them permission.

How we react is one of the few things we can control and when we work with that, everything changes; it really is liberating. Other people’s bad days stop becoming ours.

🌼 You deserve a good day. Every day. 💛 Don’t gift anyone permission to spoil it.

🦄 Let’s bust some myths because although hypnotherapy has been around for centuries, sadly the misconceptions are still going strong - in spite of my best efforts!

🎞️ I’ve done a reel on this before but I guess with the way it’s been portrayed on stage and TV, it’s no wonder that potential clients have concerns.

So let me clear a few things up.

❌ “It’ll make me do things I don’t want to do.”
❌ “It’s not safe.”
❌ “It’s some kind of magic.”

The truth is:

✅ You are in complete control at all times. Always.

✅ Hypnotherapy is a well-researched, evidence-based therapy.

✅ There’s no smoke and mirrors I promise, just the incredible power of your own subconscious mind.

🐔You won’t cluck like a chicken and you won’t be under anyone’s control.

What hypnotherapy actually is, is a safe, calm, way of working with your subconscious to create real, lasting change.

You’re in the driving seat the whole time.

❓If you have any questions at all about how it works, pop it in the comments or send me a DM, because I’m always happy to help.

🏃‍♀️Looking back, I learned very early on that being a therapist is a bit like running - in that rest days are SO important.

🌼 You will know from my posts that I’m a strong self-care advocate (who loves running) and I learned many years ago that you have to look after yourself, because no one’s going to come along and do it for you.

☺️On the days that I don’t post, share anxiety relief advice, hints or tips, I am still here, resting and recharging - guilt-free of course - so that I can support you to the very best of my ability and at the high standard you deserve - and that I pride myself on providing.

🗓️ This last couple of weeks have been very busy - but I got the balance of work and rest just about right!

💻I’ve seen clients to help with anxiety, lack of confidence, audition nerves, finding peace with the past and sleep problems.

🍦I’ve also been to Cornwall for a lovely break with friends. I should apologise in advance - and retrospectively - for all the reels containing waves 😂

On a serious note thought, I never take for granted the privilege of sitting with clients and hearing about, and helping with, the range of issues they want support with.

📲And if you feel that you could benefit from support, or if you have any questions at all, please do get in touch because I know I can help you.

🌼 Self-care isn’t selfish, it’s essential.

Thank you for reading this and have a wonderful Easter weekend. 🐣

#selfcare #cornwall #rest #anxiety

🌊 I filmed this and couldn’t help thinking how much the waves mirror the mind. Same patterns, same path. Same route.

🔃And for our minds - same thoughts. Same feelings. Same outcomes. Same life.

🧠Your subconscious mind will repeat what’s familiar until you give it something new.

⏩We think we’re moving forward, but so often we’re just recycling. I see it in the therapy room with clients all the time and I’ve lived it myself, of course.

Change happens when we work with the subconscious mind because that’s where real, lasting change begins.

Together we can go beneath the surface and rewrite the script your mind has been running on repeat.

Change your thinking. Change your story.

📩 DM me to find out more. I’d love to hear from you.

There I was crouching down on the beach, filming what I thought were going to be some perfect waves for my social media - and then the sea had other ideas!

Spoiler: I got soaked. 😆

But it’s not the wobbles that define us, is it?

It’s what we do next. I laughed, looked down at my wet jeans and carried on.

Life isn’t always polished is it? And neither am I. And that’s exactly the point.

Your nervous system doesn’t need perfection, it needs resilience. The ability to get a bit wet, take a breath and keep going.

Here’s to the bloopers, the unexpected waves - and showing up anyway. 💙

For just a little while, you get to put everything else down.

✅ The to-do list.
✅ The worries.
✅ The noise.

In here, your only job is to be here and let your mind and body do what they already know how to do.

Rest. Reset. Heal.

This is your time. 💙

🌊Waves are a form of pink noise; a natural, rhythmic pattern that signals safety to your brain.

🌊Your amygdala settles.
🌊Your breathing slows.
🌊Your body starts to move out of fight-or-flight.

⏱️Even 60 seconds can begin to make a difference.

🌊So stay here for a moment. Breathe.

🌊This is what regulation feels like and you can access it any time. Longer days are coming. Brighter moments too. ☀️

#nervoussystem #pinknoise #stressrelief #hypnotherapy

🍽️ When you eat too quickly and don’t savour each mouthful - whether it’s breakfast, lunch or dinner - your brain reads it as a threat. Your amygdala fires up, stress hormones kick in and everything afterwards feels harder than it needs to be.

So please slow down, especially in the morning, so you don’t start your day in panic mode.

⏰ Set the alarm a few minutes earlier.
☕️ Enjoy a nourishing breakfast and fuel yourself for the morning.
📱Resist the urge to check your phone

Slowing down isn’t laziness. It’s nervous system regulation. It’s how you show up better for everything, and everyone, who needs you.

🌼 Self-care isn’t selfish, it’s essential.

🕑 The clocks go forward this Sunday meaning brighter days are on the way.

🌼 Spring has a way of changing something in our mood, mindset and outlook doesn’t it? More light, more energy, a gentle nudge to start, again after winter.

But if you’re still feeling a bit stuck while the world seems to be waking up around you, you don’t have to feel like you’re being left behind.

☀️Sometimes we just need a little help to let the light back in. Hypnotherapy and talking therapy will do the trick. Just DM me to find out more.

⏪Stop ⏪ rewinding ⏪ and replaying ▶️

🔄 Your brain rewinds and replays past events, conversations and disagreements on a loop, when it hasn’t found peace with them yet.

⏹️ And while I absolutely cannot delete memories, the techniques I use can help you change how you feel about them.

So please don’t keep doing it to yourself. You have better things to spend your time on, I’m sure.
