Solution-Focused Clinical Hypnotherapist

I’ve always been passionate about supporting parents and carers, bringing over 16 years of experience in roles across local authority, NHS, and charity organisations.

Even with years of professional experience helping others, I’ve faced burnout myself. I’ve experienced health anxiety, overwhelming guilt, and the pressures of raising two young children as a neurodivergent parent, while juggling a demanding frontline job and confronting a serious health diagnosis. I know firsthand how challenging modern life can be for parents and carers.

While CBT and counselling had been helpful in the past, it was Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy that truly made the difference for me. In just six sessions, I felt lighter, clearer, and calmer. I learned how my body responds to stress, regained control over unhelpful habits and discovered practical tools to cope with the pressures of daily life.

That experience inspired me to retrain as a Solution-Focused Hypnotherapist, so I could help other parents and carers set and achieve practical, positive goals, build resilience and find balance amidst the demands of everyday life.
