Do you feel anxious or lack confidence? Maybe you’ve noticed that life has gradually lost some of its sparkle and lightness. Perhaps your loved ones can tell you’re finding it harder to make decisions or stick to healthy habits, and you can feel how your motivation is slipping away. As an integrative counsellor and hypnotherapist, I see this all the time.
Doing something unfamiliar feels uncomfortable
It is easy to try and paper over the problems in your life by reaching for coping strategies that help you feel better, temporarily. You may turn to food, that extra glass of wine, shopping, or endless scrolling on social media to distract yourself from anxious, circular thinking. Or you may withdraw from socialising altogether, feeling isolated and full of worry. Asking for help takes bravery. It means stepping out of your comfort zone to do something new – something unfamiliar that feels uncomfortable. Yet reaching out and asking for help can turn out to be the most valuable decision you make.

Counselling
Counselling is a collaborative and talk-based approach carried out weekly and normally conducted over a longer timeframe. As an integrative counsellor, I will provide you with a safe and non-judgmental space on an ongoing basis (face-to-face or online) to explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviours. My aim as a therapist is to help and inspire you to identify challenges, gain insight and clarity to set new goals and develop coping strategies to navigate difficulties in your life.
My therapeutic approach is rooted in active listening, empathy and understanding to empower you to gain deeper insight into past and present experiences or patterns of behaviour; supporting you to move closer toward living life in alignment with your true values.
Counselling encourages self-reflection and the development of practical tools to foster long-term, emotional well-being. It can help with addressing a wide range of issues, such as:
- Anxiety and depression (isolation)
- Relationship challenges
- Grief and loss
- Self-esteem and personal growth
- Trauma

Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy is a gentle yet effective way of accessing your subconscious mind by using guided relaxation, visualisation and heightened suggestibility to rewrite and reframe long-held limiting beliefs and unhelpful patterns of behaviour that can be difficult to address through conscious awareness alone.
Working with me, we’ll focus on your preferred future without dwelling excessively on your past. Together, we help you set new goals that help you move towards a happier version of yourself that is aligned with your values. In a relaxed, trancelike state, I can guide you toward positive changes by reinforcing helpful suggestions and promoting mental clarity.
Hypnotherapy is helpful to work with:
- Reducing stress and anxiety
- Overcoming limiting beliefs and boosting confidence
- Attachment issues and feeling worthy
- Managing fears
- Changing unwanted habits
- Performance anxiety
