No matter what challenges you’re dealing with. You can find solutions and live a more fulfilled life. I use a variety of psychotherapy and hypnotherapy techniques, which are customised to each individual.
I help people suffering from fear. Fear of swallowing, Fear of driving, for example. The most common ones are Fear of failure, public speaking, and fear of flying.
It was my own experiences of fears and phobias growing up that coloured my choice of specialism during training in 2007.

What outcomes to expect
You will become more aware of how your thoughts influence your behaviour. Learn tools that help you gain control of them, not them controlling you.
I spent years learning about the mind and brain and helping hundreds of people. I help people understand why they are experiencing problems and help them instigate changes to grow as a person.
Sleep improves
Your sleep may improve – Many people I see with unrelated problems have sleep issues of one sort or another. Our bodies hold tension when we’re stressed, so we find our muscles ache less, have fewer headaches and fewer digestive issues occur.
Confidence and self-esteem improve
Those around us can shape the way we see ourselves. I was relieved to learn that an actual reason caused my writing problems because no one diagnosed my dyslexia until I was 19. I wasn’t stupid! When we break through our limiting beliefs, it allows us to channel a great deal of anxiety and fear of judgment into more positive activities.
Improve your connections
Anxiety makes us very inward-looking, we often misinterpret what others say and do. Therapy helps us understand that a friend, colleague, or family member’s comments could say more about their mental health than yours. Thus, freeing up that energy makes it easier to empathise and communicate better.
Long-lasting benefits
When you overcome a fear, it opens up greater opportunities. My fear of driving limited me to living in a place with good public transport, and now that I’m driving, I live where I want. A fear of swallowing can stop people from socialising and hence reduce their contact with friends and family.
What happens in therapy?
When you first contact me, we’ll book a free online consultation. Here we will discuss the history of the problem, your goal for change and go over what’s happening in the brain and body, which makes you feel the way you do. After which, you can decide to work with me face-to-face at the Kingsmoor Clinic in Kingston Bagpuize or online. The only problem I do not see online is smoking cessation.
How many sessions you need varies from person to person and their current circumstances. Outside influences of work and interactions with friends and family may determine how much outside stress you’re under that influences your problem.
Hypnotherapy is NOT stage hypnosis in a chair. It’s not a magic wand or instant fix, but a steady moving forward to attain your goal. A person needs time for the brain to make longer-term changes. You’ll learn tools that can help your day-to-day activities, from taking hold of negative thoughts to calming down panic.
Most clients take between 6 to 12 sessions, first on a weekly basis, then spread further apart. The brain should have consistency as we work towards a goal. It’s in the process of changing, and the more time and space you give it, the quicker the outcome is achieved. Therapy is akin to peeling back the layers of an onion, so as we work, you may find yourself dealing with thoughts and feelings about things you had previously suppressed. In the new, relaxed state, you’re much more able to think rationally about them and find solutions to these issues.
We scale everything as work, allowing both of us to see progress. Your goal is to achieve as close to a 10 out of 10 as possible and most people start low, as a 0 to 3.
