Experience in my working life has always been related to communicating with others and the desire to help people in all walks of life. Being office based at the beginning of my working career gave me ample opportunities to widen that particular aspect, and to extend my experience and skills throughout different job situations.

In 1997, wanting to move onto more creative work by treating the whole person holistically – in mind, body and spirit – I trained as a Reflexologist, then as I enjoyed this type of work so much, I added other Complementary Therapies along the way to extend my skill base. This enabled me to work over the next few years to help clients of both sexes, over a wide age range with personal, health and emotional issues.

Then Hypnotherapy beckoned! It seemed such an obvious direction and change for me to work towards, widening and building upon that existing circle of experience still further. Now, I am proud to be a fully qualified Hypnotherapist, and a Registered Member of the National Council for Hypnotherapy. If you would like to view their website please go to www.hypnotherapists.org.co.uk. 

As a member of this organisation I am bound by strict ethical codes and am also committed to keeping professionally updated. I receive supervision on a regular basis with an Accredited Supervisor from the NCH. I am fully insured and have also obtained a CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) disclosure check when working with young clients.

The NCH is a member organisation of the UK Confederation of Hypnotherapy Organisations. UKCHO is an umbrella body for the hypnotherapy profession, and their aim is to promote the professional regulation of hypnotherapy within the UK. On their National Register of Hypnotherapists, I am UKCHO Registered. To view their website please go to www.ukcho.co.uk

Over the past few years I have updated my skills on a regular basis, extending my learning in training workshops, seminars and master classes over the country. These have helped to increase my understanding and knowledge in areas such as Stopping Smoking, Weight Management, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Working with High Performance Clients, Inner Child Therapy and Phobias.

I enjoy and relish the different mediums of talking to, and helping and supporting clients. Seeking out and receiving ongoing training, and reading and absorbing therapeutic information contained within books. I find that this ongoing mixture of practical application, therapeutic learning and written knowledge and guidance helps to keep me grounded. Enabling me to be sensitive to the needs of the client, and up to date with the latest techniques and knowledge available.
