About me

Having spent the majority of my life serving in the Armed Forces and Emergency Services, I have personally experienced and seen my colleagues deal with all sorts of problems. This has inspired me to take my curiosity of how the mind works into using this passion to help fellow strugglers inside and outside of the Services.

I spent a long time researching different disciplines and courses and after reading “Grow” and “Cognitive Hypnotherapy” by Trevor Silvester, I fell in love with Cognitive Hypnotherapy. An evidence based therapy (Therapy That Works! – QCHPA Evidence-Based Therapists) which takes from a variety of different therapeutic influences including the most effective elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Positive Psychology, Gestalt, Traditional Hypnotherapy, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP). I have also been trained in AMDR (Applied EMDR tailored to the cog hyp framework).

The flexibility of Cognitive Hypnotherapy allows me to deal with a huge variety of problems from Anxiety to Zoophobia.

I love the idea that Cognitive Hypnotherapy doesn’t rely on one size fits all scripts and treats the clients unique behaviour and not the person. This allows the therapist to give the client the tools they require to help themselves.

I studied Cognitive Hypnotherapy under Trevor Silvester (the founder of Cognitive Hypnotherapy) with the Quest Institute at Regents University, London. Graduating with a Diploma in Cog Hyp, HPD and NLP practitioner qualification. I partake in regular continuous personal development in order to give the client the most up to date service available to them.

The inclusion of a snowdrop in my logo has a deep meaning. The snowdrop is a symbol of resilience, they appear at the end of Winter and are a sign that Spring is on it’s way. Snowdrops flourish under extreme circumstances and I want my clients to do exactly that. The snowdrop is a nod to my former life in the RAF Police. Due to us wearing white caps we were often referred to as snowdrops and coincidentally, snowdrops were flourishing the grounds of Regents University on the day I graduated as a Cognitive Hypnotherapist.
