“I am passionate about helping others to be as healthy and happy as they can be but also about passing on the knowledge and experience I have acquired throughout my long career as a healthcare professional. I welcome all enquiries surrounding health and well-being and firmly believe in the mind-body link to access our own healing resources. Sometimes we can lose our way in life so I also assist others with career development or identifying their true purpose.

If you require a personal consultation at my clinic at Sunnybrae in Appleby or Bourne House in Carlisle, Cumbria please call me or email me to discuss your issue and I will be able to tell you how I can address the problem and what you can expect following treatment. There is no charge for telephone consultations. During a session I will always take time to listen to your story and demonstrating empathy and integrity are central to my working ethics. I have successfully treated thousands of people of all ages with a very wide variety of conditions including anxiety, depression, low self esteem, weight problems, phobias, addictions, stopping smoking and emotional issues such as jealousy or relationship break up.* Feedback comes from numerous sources, more often through referral. Happily, clients do phone or write and I have posted a few examples in the testimonial page which you might find useful. It is not uncommon to require only 1 session to get rid of unwanted habit or deal with an irrational fear. Some people however feel more comfortable with two sessions, particularly if they want to learn Self-Hypnosis or to build on their new found confidence. I recommend a minimum of two sessions for weight reduction and four is preferable. If the case is particularly complex then up to 6 sessions may be needed. An example would be anorexia nervosa.
Children respond very well to hypnosis because they have such good imaginations although their attention spans are much shorter. I have seen a child as young as 5 years old but typically children come to see me from the age of seven upwards. It is not uncommon for a child to have problems at school and hypnotherapy can be extremely useful to help them overcome anxiety or bullying. I always ask if a young client wants an adult present and for very young children it is essential. Children love to incorporate a favourite hero into their solution making and if appropriate will use drawing to express themselves. In summary I have found for those who are willing to embrace hypnosis and are open to change that remarkable results are possible.*
Hypnotherapy is a partnership between Hypnotherapist and Client. No hypnotherapist has ‘control’ over a client.
