I am a Clinical & Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist based in Basingstoke, Hampshire, working with clients locally & online across the UK.

My focus is helping people overcome anxiety, panic, phobias, stress-related conditions, unwanted habits, & confidence issues using structured, evidence-informed hypnotherapy.

With over 16 years of full-time clinical experience, I work with clients to create practical, measurable change in how they think, feel, & respond to everyday life.

My background and training

I originally worked in a corporate legal environment before retraining in hypnotherapy after developing a strong interest in how people change behaviour, thought patterns, & emotional responses.

Since then, I have completed extensive professional training in:
‍
- Clinical Hypnotherapy
- Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (CBH)
- Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma
- NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming)
- Advanced Sports Performance Hypnosis
- EMDR-informed approaches for trauma-related symptoms
- Hypnotherapy Supervision

I am a GHR Senior Practitioner & continue to engage in ongoing professional development & supervision to maintain high clinical standards.

How I work (my approach)

My approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy, which combines hypnosis with CBT principles. This means we focus on:

- How your thoughts, emotions, & behaviours are connected
- What is maintaining the problem (not just the symptoms)
- Changing automatic subconscious responses
- Building practical strategies you can use outside of sessions
‍
Sessions are structured, goal-focused, & tailored to each individual.

Conditions I regularly work with

I support clients with:
‍
- Anxiety & generalised worry
- Panic attacks
- Phobias & agoraphobia
- PTSD & trauma-related responses
- IBS & stress-related gut symptoms
- Sleep difficulties & insomnia
- Confidence & self-esteem issues
- Weight management & emotional eating patterns
- Smoking cessation
- Sports performance & mindset under pressure
- Unwanted habits & compulsive behaviours

Hypnotherapy in Basingstoke

I work with clients from Basingstoke & surrounding areas including Chineham, Tadley, Hook, Oakley, Andover, Winchester and North Hampshire, as well as online clients across the UK & internationally.

Many people come to me after struggling for some time with patterns they feel stuck in or unable to change.

Hypnotherapy offers a structured way to work with these patterns at a subconscious level, helping to reduce automatic stress responses & create more helpful long-term behaviours.

Professional standards and ethics

I work within professional hypnotherapy frameworks & maintain strict ethical standards in my practice.

I regularly engage in supervision & continued professional development to ensure my work remains safe, effective, & aligned with current best practice.

Where appropriate, I will always recommend additional or alternative support if it is in the client’s best interest.

Why clients choose to work with me

Clients often choose to work with me because they are looking for:
‍
- A structured, evidence-based approach
- A calm & professional therapeutic environment
- Practical tools alongside hypnosis
- Long-term behavioural change rather than short-term fixes

My aim is to help clients feel more in control of their thoughts, responses, & emotional wellbeing.
