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

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

With over 14 years of full-time clinical experience, I work with clients to create practical, measurable change in how they think, feel, and 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, and 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 and continue to engage in ongoing professional development and 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, and behaviours are connected
- What is maintaining the problem (not just the symptoms)
- Changing automatic subconscious responses
- uilding practical strategies you can use outside of sessions
‍
Sessions are structured, goal-focused, and tailored to each individual.

Conditions I regularly work with

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

Hypnotherapy in Basingstoke

I work with clients from Basingstoke and surrounding areas including Chineham, Tadley, Hook, Oakley, Andover, Winchester and North Hampshire, as well as online clients across the UK and 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 and create more helpful long-term behaviours.

Professional standards and ethics

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

I regularly engage in supervision and continued professional development to ensure my work remains safe, effective, and 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 and 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, and emotional wellbeing.
