About me
I’m passionate about helping people overcome anxiety, depression, phobias, and sleep difficulties, so they can feel calm, confident, and in control again.
Over the years, I’ve supported adults, teens, and children through a range of therapeutic approaches designed to bring lasting emotional change. My work is rooted in compassion, understanding, and practical tools that empower clients to take back control of their wellbeing.
Alongside my private practice, I’m proud to be one of the founders of Therapeutic Pathways CIC, a community interest company providing therapeutic programmes to higher educational settings across the region. Our mission is to support pupils struggling with anxiety, depression, low confidence, and self-esteem, helping them find balance and emotional resilience.
I also work as a Play Therapist within primary schools in the West Midlands and Warwickshire, supporting children with their emotional development and helping them express and process their feelings in a safe, nurturing way.
In addition, I’m honoured to give some of my time to working with Anxiety UK, one of the UK’s largest mental health organisations, where I provide specialist hypnotherapy services for individuals struggling with anxiety-related issues.
Before becoming a therapist, I spent over 11 years in education as a teacher and school leader, so I deeply understand the challenges faced by young people, parents, and professionals in today’s world.
I bring empathy, warmth, and real-life understanding to every session. My approach is calm, supportive, and tailored to meet each person where they are — helping them move gently but powerfully toward a happier, more balanced life.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
HypnotherapyRecommended for those who want to use relaxation and hypnosis techniques to explore deeper parts of their mind or break unhealthy habits.
Positive psychotherapyRecommended for those who want to focus on building strengths, increasing happiness, and enhancing their overall well-being, rather than just focusing on problems.
Solution-focused therapyRecommended for those who want quick, practical solutions to their problems without focusing too much time on the past.
I am a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist, which means my work centres on helping clients move forward in their lives by focusing on solutions rather than problems. I support people in learning how to live more fully in the present while working towards the positive future version of themselves — their best selves.
My approach combines positive psychology, mindfulness techniques, neuroscience, and clinical hypnosis. Together, these methods help clients better understand how the mind works and how to develop healthier patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaviour.
Sessions with me are structured and supportive. Each appointment includes approximately 30 minutes of solution-focused talking therapy, followed by 30 minutes of trance work using hypnosis. The talking element allows us to explore progress, identify goals, and focus on positive change, while the trance work helps calm the mind, support learning, and reinforce helpful new patterns.
Between sessions, you will be given simple home tasks designed to support your progress and encourage positive transformation in everyday life.
My aim as a therapist is not only to help you overcome current challenges, but also to equip you with practical tools and a deeper understanding of how your mind works so that you can manage your mental health in a supportive and beneficial way long-term.
I am a friendly yet professional therapist who takes a genuine, heartfelt interest in the progress and wellbeing of my clients. I look forward to supporting you on your journey toward positive change.
Experience
I am an experienced Solution Focused Hypnotherapist and Play Therapist with a background in both mental health and education, supporting children, young people, and adults with emotional wellbeing. My work combines clinical hypnotherapy and play therapy, allowing me to support clients across different stages of life with issues such as anxiety, low confidence, trauma, emotional regulation difficulties, and neurodiversity including ADHD and autism.
Alongside running a private hypnotherapy practice both in person and online, I have been commissioned by ATTFE College to deliver therapeutic wellbeing support for students aged 16–19. This role includes providing one-to-one hypnotherapy sessions, delivering group wellbeing programmes, and supporting students who are experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and other mental health challenges. My work involves carrying out detailed assessments and creating structured, outcome-focused treatment plans to support positive change.
I have also worked as a Play Therapist delivering individual therapeutic sessions within mainstream and specialist school settings across Warwickshire. In this role, I supported primary-aged children experiencing a wide range of emotional and behavioural difficulties including anxiety, trauma, bereavement, family breakdown, and domestic violence.
Education
I am a fully insured, certified, and accredited therapist with over five years of experience working as a Clinical Solution Focused Hypnotherapist. My training focuses on helping clients understand how their minds work and supporting them to make positive, lasting changes in their lives.
Alongside my core hypnotherapy qualification, I have completed additional specialist training in areas including anxiety support and sleep difficulties such as insomnia. I am also a qualified Hypnobirthing Practitioner, supporting expectant parents to approach birth with greater calm, confidence, and understanding.
I have extensive experience supporting children and young people. I worked as a Therapeutic Play Practitioner for two years and qualified as a fully certified Play Therapist in July 2025. This training enables me to support children in expressing and processing emotions through therapeutic play in a safe and supportive way.
In addition to my therapeutic qualifications, I have completed a range of professional training to ensure safe, ethical, and responsible practice. This includes Safeguarding training, FGM awareness, GDPR training, and I hold an enhanced DBS check. I am also a qualified Mental Health First Aider.
I am committed to maintaining the highest professional standards and regularly undertake ongoing professional development and supervision to ensure my practice remains safe, effective, and up to date.
