ABOUT ME

When I trained as a solution focused hypnotherapist I was often blown away with the information I was learning and had so many WOW moments of clarity and understanding.  It was like a light switch turning on the light so I could see clearly.

I realised how my subconscious beliefs and behaviours had fundamentally affected my life and had even hindered my ability to conceive.  I could now see, beyond any doubt in my mind, why I'd behaved in the way I did.  It all made perfect sense.  So, not only did I gain an understanding of what had made me tick and why I'd been such a people pleaser, even when it affected me negatively, I had the opportunity to clear those old beliefs and create new, more helpful ones to me.  It quite literally changed my life and, in turn, the lives of those around me.

It was a win win. 

This is why I'm so passionate about what I can do for you, helping you to take those shortcuts from problem to success and have a positive ripple effect to all those around you.

In a lot of ways I had a wonderful childhood interspersed with some dramatic and traumatic events which I hadn't realised I'd brought with me  into adulthood.   I'd made some very unhelpful beliefs as a child which affected my entire life and this resulted in what felt like a continual struggle which I couldn't escape.  And then I had to cope with ten years of infertility, becoming very ill with Crohn's disease in the middle of it, before having IVF.  So I have probably felt as you do at some point or another whether it be struggling with an issue, an illness, anxiety or infertility.

Regarding infertility, I've been where you are now! I get it on a level that's hard to truly understand unless you've experienced that pain on your own fertility journey.  I understand all those emotions, even the ones that you feel ashamed of and find it hard to admit to yourself, never mind anyone else. I know how alone you can feel, even when you have a supportive partner and I know the things that are being left unsaid.  I have felt the constant pressure, the avalanche of thoughts, the hopelessness, powerlessness and despair mixed in, from time to time, with a dash of hope.  I understand you and your fertility journey because it was my journey too and that's why I ask what can I do for you?

The culmination of experiencing some of life's struggles and the rigorous training and practice in Psychotherapy, Hypnosis, EFT, Matrix Reimprinting and EMDR gives me the insights, skills and tools I need to help you. 

It helps me to help you uncover your unhelpful beliefs which are having a negative effect on your life today.  These beliefs are often formed in childhood but can be created at any time from trauma, as a one off incident or on a repeated basis.  These belief systems can impact many areas of your life without being you being consciously aware of them which, of course, makes it nearly impossible for you to identify by yourself because it creates a blind spot.  

What can you expect from me? 

You can expect me to be committed to you, wherever you are in your life.  You can expect me to be empathetic and to care, to use everything at my disposal to help you to get to a more balanced you, a place of potential and possibilities.  

You can expect me to teach you self help tools along the way, to help you connect the dots, to understand and change patterns of behaviour which may be holding you back so that you can feel more relaxed, calmer and in control.   

You can expect me to be 100% on your side, guiding you down a path which will increase your chances of success and help you to become unstuck whatever the issue.
