Overview

DHP, HPD, MNCH (Reg), MNCH (Sup); Solution Focused Hypnotherapist & Psychotherapist

Working out of three practices: Whitchurch in Cardiff, Barry and Cowbridge in the Vale of Glamorgan.

I gained a Diploma in Hypnotherapy (HPD & DHP) from the Clifton Practice, Bristol in 2011 and subsequently qualified as a supervisor in 2016. I am a member of the CNHC as well as being the Standards Officer for the National Council for Hypnotherapists (NCH). . As a member of these associations I adhere to a strict code of ethics. The HPD is a nationally recognised qualification at Level 4 on the National Qualifications Framework. I am studying for the Advanced Hypnotherapy Diploma (AHD) with Clifton Practice and once obtained will be qualified to Level 5.

Having practised as a lawyer for over twenty years, I decided to train as a Hypotherapist with one of the best schools in the country. Hypnotherapy is a safe, powerful psychotherapeutic tool which can be used to break negative patterns of behaviours. It uses hypnotic techniques which when allied with a client's commitment is a very effective aid to promote positive change. By focusing on solutions, hypnotherapy can help with many issues including addictions, stress & anxiety, low mood, weight control, confidence/self esteem issues, sleep problems, IBS, migraine, unwelcome habits, obsessions, panic attacks, fears & phobias.

Hypnosis is very pleasant and relaxing. Clients describe it to me as a wonderful feeling of calm. It is totally natural and something we all experience throughout our daily lives when we daydream or when we concentrate our attention on something such as driving, watching a film or reading a book. This relaxed state often helps our subconscious minds to produce solutions for us - as if the idea came to us out of the blue.
