Does Any of This Sound Familiar?

• Has anxiety or worry taken control of your life?
• Are you constantly feeling stressed or overwhelmed?
• Have you lost your confidence, self-esteem, or motivation?
• Do you feel like you’re stuck in a negative cycle (a funk, a rut)?
• Is fear or a phobia holding you back from living the life you want?
• Does life feel really overwhelming and you’re just plain tired of feeling stressed?
• Are you stuck in a never-ending procrastination cycle, feeling lost either in your personal or professional life?
• Do you wish you could find a way to cope better with anxiety, worry, and fear, knowing things shouldn’t be this hard?
• Do you feel like you’re standing on the sideline of your own life right now?
• You are not the person you want to be (and know you can be)—whether that’s how you feel about life, self-image, weight, confidence, or even your career.

If you're thinking "uh huh, uh huh..." to any of these, the good news is, I can support you in making positive changes!

How Hypnotherapy Can Support You

Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy is a brief, effective therapy that focuses on your strengths and the positive changes you want to make in your life. It combines talking therapy with a relaxing, trance-like state (hypnosis), where your mind is open to new, helpful ways of thinking and responding to challenges.

This type of hypnotherapy helps you:

• Overcome limiting beliefs that hold you back
• Manage emotions such as anxiety, stress, or anger
• Reduce negative thought patterns, replacing them with positive, empowering thoughts
• Develop resilience, helping you face life’s challenges with more confidence
• Achieve your goals, whether it’s improving your self-esteem, managing phobias, or creating lasting change in your personal or professional life

Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy is a non-invasive and gentle therapy that works in collaboration with your own mind. It doesn’t require you to delve into past experiences, but instead focuses on practical solutions to the challenges you face. By retraining your brain and shifting your mindset, you can experience lasting change and improve your quality of life.

With hypnotherapy, the focus is always on your future, not your past. It’s about helping you feel better and cope better in all areas of your life, from personal relationships to professional achievements.

Inclusive Support for the LGBTQIA+ Community

I am proud to provide inclusive support for individuals in the LGBTQIA+ community, including gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and non-binary clients. My therapy is designed to be affirming and respectful of your unique identity and life experiences. Whether you're managing stress, relationship concerns, or psychosexual challenges, I offer a safe, non-judgmental space to support your mental and emotional wellbeing.

Supporting Men with Psychosexual Issues

I specialise in supporting men’s psychosexual issues (non-medical), including erectile dysfunction (ED), premature ejaculation (PE), anorgasmia, and performance anxiety. These issues can significantly impact emotional wellbeing, but with the right support, it’s possible to regain confidence, improve intimacy, and build a positive relationship with your sexuality. My approach is compassionate and non-judgmental, helping men address these challenges in a supportive environment.

Supporting Small Business Owners and Organisations

I also work with small business owners, helping to manage the stress and overwhelm that often comes with growing a business. I support improving emotional wellbeing, enhancing focus, and reducing stress as part of navigating the challenges of running and scaling a business.

In addition, I assist organisations, including HR teams and sales teams, to reduce workplace stress, support emotional wellbeing, and integrate hypnotherapy into a workplace wellness strategy. Whether your team is facing high-pressure situations, struggling with
