About Me 

The image captures a partial view of a bookshelf, emphasizing the presence of books and creating an atmosphere of knowledge and introspection. The background consists of a white or light-colored shelf, which is slightly out of focus, giving a sense of depth to the image. The lighting is soft and diffused, indicating natural light sources, and it casts a gentle glow on the books, adding to the calm and studious mood. The scene is simple and uncluttered, drawing attention to the content of the shelves. The main subjects are the rows of books filling the shelf space. The books are arranged closely together, and their spines are visible, revealing a variety of titles, colors, and sizes. Some titles can be partially read, such as "THOU SHALT LOVE...", suggesting a religious or philosophical theme. Additionally, books with the label "Duden" are visible, indicating German language reference material. Colorful bookmarks or page markers peek out from the tops of some books, suggesting active use or ongoing reading.

I have always been interested in stories and the use of metaphors, and their potential and power to inspire, influence, change and impact. I started this venture from this premise to support others to co-create and develop their stories to empower and advance change in their lives.

My previous career has been in Education, working in Secondary Education, Colleges and Universities. I later retrained as a coach and worked with adults in mental health for over ten years before returning to work in Education, delivering project-based work on resilience to students with complex social, emotional and behavioural issues.

Inspired by my experience and seeing the potential and the change that occurs in others, I began training with the National College of Hypnosis and Psychotherapy and graduated with their Master’s level Hypnotherapy Certificate with Psychotherapeutic training.

l am continuing my professional Education with NCHP towards being a fully qualified Counsellor and Psychotherapist working towards UKCP accreditation.

‘When someone really hears you without passing judgment on you, without trying to take responsibility for you, without trying to mould you, it feels damn good’. Carl Rogers.

I offer a calm, warm and attentive approach that is free from judgment. I don’t offer advice, instead through careful considered questioning, I encourage you to tell your own story in a way that is comfortable for you, and work with you supporting your journey acting as guide. Your journey is personal and individual to you. I don’t use formulaic scripts in my work, instead all work is curated and personalised around you and your story, travelling by your side, on your journey.  

Hypnotherapy to get you to where you want to be. 

Please contact me, for an informal discussion to see how I may be able to work with you

I look forward to hearing from you and working with you.
