I am a fully qualified Solution Focused Hypnotherapist, having trained at the Clifton Practice, a recognised centre of excellence. I hold a Level 4 Hypnotherapy in Practice Diploma (HPD), accredited by the National Council for Hypnotherapy.

Before moving into this work, I spent over 20 years as a secondary school teacher, consistently drawn to the pastoral side of the role — supporting wellbeing, building confidence, and helping people find a way forward when things felt difficult.

Over time, I have found myself particularly drawn to working with clients around weight, health, and their relationship with food — especially where things feel stuck, despite genuine effort. Increasingly, this has included supporting those moving away from more external or medical approaches, and towards something that feels more self-led and lasting.
