About me…
Prior to studying to become a Clinical Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist, my background had been in accountancy and management so undertaking my training with the prestigious Clifton Practice to become a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist has been a huge transition and took an enormous amount of thought and research for me to commit to the rigorous training programme they offer…. and boy am I glad I took that first step to making the positive change I wanted to achieve.
I am first and foremost a mum to four wonderful kids, and live with my partner, two youngest children and our gorgeous chocolate Labrador, Ruby.
Like many of you, I have personal knowledge of the trials & tribulations life can throw our way, and realise how precious our time here is. Although no therapist can ever walk in your shoes, I have first hand experience of the pain caused by bereavement, loss, divorce & illnesses, and these have shaped me & given me the empathy and drive to help others.
I have always been fascinated by the power of the mind and how it seems that one person may sail benignly through life while another feels that they are forever wading through the mire.
I live in a quiet area on the border of Scotland & England and am lucky enough to have at the end of my garden, a calm, tranquil therapy room overlooking green fields leading down to the Solway Firth, with the beautiful Lakeland hills as a backdrop…which provides a stunning picture on a frosty morning!
I am available for face to face appointments in my therapy room, which is very accessible, being only two minutes drive from J45 of the M6, with free parking available. I also work via Zoom and recent research has shown this to be a highly effective method of providing therapy, so distance is no object to obtaining my services.
