HYPNOTHERAPY
Hypnotherapy is a guided approach that uses focused inward attention and relaxation to explore patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaviour - including those that operate at a more automatic or subconscious level.
My approach is calm and collaborative in which you remain in control throughout. Contrary to popular myth, hypnosis does not involve being "put under." It involves entering a focused, trance-like state that allows the mind to engage more openly with habits, responses, and perspectives that sit outside everyday conscious awareness.
In practice, this means working with stress and nervous system responses, habitual or subconscious patterns that shape behaviour, emotional regulation, and the kind of thinking that keeps you stuck in the same place, even when you know something needs to change
What is Hypnotherapy?
My Approach
I am a registered Clinical Hypnotherapist with a PhD and MSc in Neuroscience, alongside a background in psychology, which shapes everything about how I work. I offer a bespoke practice, tailored to each individual and my neuroscience background informs everything, from the techniques I use, to the way I understand what's keeping someone stuck.
My work sits at the meeting point of neuroscience and the unconscious. I’m interested in what research tells us about how the brain forms habits, encodes beliefs and responds to change, and equally in what lives underneath: the feelings, memories and old protective patterns that the body often holds on to long after the mind has moved on. Depending on what issues a person facing, I may use cognitive hypnotherapy, suggestion hypnotherapy, regression, inner child work, or analytical approaches, combined with hypno-EMDR and somatic work where appropriate.
I work with a range of issues including (but not limited to); anxiety, panic attacks, low confidence, stress, imposter syndrome, and the kind of recurring patterns that feel hard to shift despite your best efforts.
Sessions are both online and in-person (Bexley, London) and typically last 50–60 minutes. To make meaningful, long-term change, most people work with me for 3 – 6 sessions, depending on what they would like help with. If you'd like to find out whether this might be a good fit, I offer a free 15-minute introductory call with no pressure.
Areas commonly explored:
Stress and nervous system regulation
Confidence and self-trust

Session Structure & Fees
Your first session begins with a consultation to clarify what you’d like to change. From there the work is collaborative, with progress reviewed as we go. Most people find that three to six sessions brings meaningful, lasting change.
After your second session, I create a personalised hypnosis recording, made specifically for you, so the work continues between sessions and long after we finish.
Sessions last 50–60 minutes and are available online or in person at Calm Collective Yoga Studio in Bexley. Some evening and weekend appointments are available on request.
Session fee: £80 for online, £95 for in-person
Please note: this work is not a replacement for medical or psychiatric care. I do not diagnose or treat mental health conditions, and sessions are offered within a clearly defined therapeutic scope.
If you would like to have a chat to explore if this work is right for you, I offer a complementary 15-minute intro call - no pressure, just information.
