The Story

Having received many forms of therapy for numerous ‘challenges’ I experienced during my life (like us all), I decided it was time for me to provide the therapy. I trained as a Hypnotherapist several years ago, and that’s how the journey began. A few years later I became a mature university student at the age of 39, immersing myself in the subject of psychology - the study of the human mind. That extra ‘deep-dive’ into the workings of the mind - the thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that make us human - gives me an edge in the hypnotherapy world. Using what I learned, I help clients discover why they may be struggling with certain aspects of living, provide them with extra ‘tools’ if necessary, and observe them grow in a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental environment.

I’m an avid fan of Carl Rogers’ work and take his view that therapists should have ‘unconditional positive regard’ for their clients into my work. That simply means accepting you as you are, without judgement of any kind. Carl believes (as do I) that if we do that as therapists, it allows the client (you) to accept you as you are, without judgement, at any particular moment in time. That is the precursor to growth. It doesn’t mean that we are fixed, rigid, or unmalleable; it simply means that we should accept ourselves as we are in any given moment with the belief and realisation that there is always room for growth.

Put very simply...

I help people discover their inner courage, strength, resilience, wisdom, and innate ability to deal with anything life throws at them.

That’s my mission, my goal - to help people take charge of their emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual wellbeing. Using skills I’ve learned through life experience, 13 years of meditation practice, Personal Training, Life Coaching, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Hypnotherapy, and a psychology degree; I help people reconnect with their innate ability to take life by the horns and start thriving instead of just surviving. We all have that ability. We're born with it. Unfortunately, along the journey of life, many people lose their connection (as I did) with that innate ability. I will help you rediscover, and reconnect with it.
