I successfully qualified as a clinical hypnotherapist after achieving a Bachelor of Science Honours Degree in Psychology. Whilst studying I worked full time for Norfolk County Council in a social care team as an Occupational Therapist Assistant supporting families with children with disabilities. I have had many years experience as a practitioner including my last job role, before becoming self-employed, working for a private company supporting children with development trauma, sensory processing and attachment difficulties.

Over the years I have developed skills that have supported many people, and empowered parents to manage difficulties they face on a daily basis. I pride myself on building a good rapport with the children and adults I support and feel this is essential to a successful outcome to therapy. Therapy is a two-way process, client and therapist working together, I guide the client in the direction they wish to go and tailor the therapy around individual needs. My therapeutic approach will enable re-framing of thought processes and promote positive thinking and changes.

In today’s society, mental health is one of the most growing public health concerns, with 1 in 4 of us suffering from anxiety or depression at some point in our life. It is more common than we care to discuss.

I have a Batchelors Degree in Psychology, Advanced Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling, Diploma in Hypnotherapy, Diploma in EMDR, specialist diploma in child counselling and accredited with The National Counselling Society and The National Hypnotherapy Society. I also have over 20 years experience of therapeutic working roles, including working with Autism, ADHD and complex needs children and adults. I am currently a trustee for Sunbeams, a charity supporting children with autism and their families.
