My training, work experience and any achievement

I am qualified Clinical Hypnotherapist having gained my Certificate(2006), Diploma(2007) and Post Graduate, Practitioner Diploma(2008), from the London College of Clinical Hypnosis (LCCH). The LCCH’s courses are accredited by Thames Valley University, London.
In 2014, I completed a Diploma in Human Givens Counselling and Psychotherapy.
I am a member of the British Society of Clinical Hypnosis (BSCH) and the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC).
I am also fully insured to practice as a therapist.

In my sessions I combine Clinical Hypnotherapy with techniques from Psychotherapy, Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Life Coaching and Solution-focused Brief Therapy. I am a trained practitioner of EMDR; a ground-breaking technique used in the treatment of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder. I have also taken additional training in Fertility Issues with Sjanie Hugo, a fertility expert and author of The Fertile Body Method. My training included all aspects of working with clients who are experiencing problems conceiving or who are embarking on fertility treatment. I am also trained in the Hypno-band Weight Loss programme, which was featured on Channel 4s, Embarassing Bodies.

I currently run three private practices, in Exeter, Tiverton and Barnstaple. I am also a resident therapist at NuBeginnings, a boutique weight loss centre in North Devon. Where I work with clients from all over the world wanting to gain control over their weight and who also want to tackle associated problems like stress, depression, addictions and low self-esteem. As part of a team I work alongside Nutritionists, Massage Therapists, NLP Practitioners, Personal Trainers and other professionals. I have been featured on Sky Travel and Handbag.com. I also work for the Red Poppy Company, who deal with workplace stress and trauma. With Red Poppy I work with clients such as South West Ambulance Service and Devon and Cornwall Police. I am also an Easibirthing practitioner and run regular workshops and 1:1 sessions teaching Hypnobirthing techniques.
