About Me

I am deeply intersted in helping people of all ages to deal with confidence/self-esteem issues, anxiety, stress, fears and phobies, habits (smoking, drinking, nail biting and so on), other issues (eating, weight, public speaking) and so on. I am a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist  (CBT) and Hypnotherapist (CBH). CBT is a psychotherapeutic philosophy which deals with both cause and symptoms, and advocates a philosophy of healthy living . In addition, I am an Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) practitioner. EMDR is described as "the breakthrough therapy in overcoming anxiety, stress and trauma"

I hold the following qualifications and affiliations:

• Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy
• Practitioner Diploma in Clinical Hypnosis
• Diploma in Clinical Hypnosis
• Certificate in Clinical Hypnosis
• The General Qualification in Hypnotherapy Practice (GQHP)
• EMDR Practitioner
• Member of the British Association for Behavioural & Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP)
• Member of the EMDR Association of UK and Ireland
• Member of the British Society of Clinical Hypnosis (BSCH)
• Member of the General Hypnotherapy Register (GHR and GHSC)

Members of the above professional bodies abide by a strict code of conduct relating to client confidentiality, ethics and treatments.

I obtained my hypnotherapy qualifications through the London College of Clinical Hypnotherapy (LCCH).

I obtained my EMDR Practitioner qualification through the EMDR Association of UK & Ireland.

I have tutored and supervised for theLCCH Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy diploma course..

LCCH qualifications are accredited by:

• The Open University
• Greenwich University
• Thames Valley University
• The Royal College of Nursing
• British Accrediation Council
• The National Regulatory Register of Hypnotherapy

My EMDR training was initially through the LCCH. Finding EMDR to be a powerful technique in the field of anxiety, fear, phobia, trauma and chronic pain management, I decided to undertake further training throught the EMDR Institute Inc. I gained Levels 1 and 2 qualifications which are a prerequisite for membership of The EMDR Association of UK and Ireland and therefore, I am a recognised qualified practitioner..
