About me and my practice

My vision as a qualified counsellor and hypnotherapist is to serve the individual needs of each client and in turn create a world where trauma and anxiety are healed in a more compassionate way that leaves you, the client, feeling in control of your own healing. It is my belief that trauma and anxiety cannot be healed by talking alone and a more diverse, holistic approach brings with it a more compassionate way of healing which brings a real difference to the lives of clients.
Im different from other counsellors because I have a knowledge and understanding of energy and how that energy works on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level. I have been practising Reiki since 2008 and had over 10 years of experience of teaching in this area. Knowledge of this along with recent training on the polyvagal theory means that I can help clients to learn how to coregulate their own nervous system so that trauma and anxiety can be worked through in a safe therapeutic environment.
I chose this path because someone very close to me has a serious mental health illness along with a diagnosis of autism. There was very little choice of counsellors out there who were willing to work with my loved one on a holistic level. What he really needed was an approach which was more creative, where he could walk and talk with the therapist out in nature so he did not feel intimidated being in a closed room where his anxiety levels would inevitably rise. My loved one missed their needs being met in therapy because nobody was willing to think outside the box of what was thought of as traditional therapy.
I believe that if a client is paying for a service, they should have a say in how they want their needs met and be offered a broader range of options. If you wish to choose the traditional way (and most clients do), then this is absolutely fine, but if you need something more diverse and therapeutic, you have the option to access this type of therapy with me.

Experience

I qualified as a hypnotherapist in 2017 and an integrative counsellor at the end of 2019.

I volunteered for Cruse for 5 years from 2018 until 2023.

I have taught Reiki since 2011 and as an integrative therapist I draw on my understanding of Reiki and Hypnotherapy within sessions where this is appropriate to do so.

I've worked with trauma, anxiety, autism, ADHD, depression, bereavement and loss, life changes, relationship difficulties, LGBT, motivation, fears and phobias, those that have had near death experiences, addiction, divorce, eating disorders, and much more.
