I am a clinical hypnotherapist, NLP Master Practitioner and Counsellor, based in West Sussex.
I am disabled and a full time wheelchair user and I live a wholesome and happy life. However, my life has not always been terribly easy, as I was disabled and often perceived as being different from others, I faced many barriers. My prospects and the prognosis for the future were not considered good. I recall one doctor saying that someone like me will never work and I will be reliant on care. When I went to the job centre seeking work, I was told very politely, although I am sure their heart was in the right place, that I was better off on benefits.
However, I beat all the odds, breaking through numerous physical, psychological and societal obstacles to go on and make major achievements in my life and became an independent woman. My focus in life is to be self empowered, to fulfil my absolute potential and to get on with the many things I can do. This has given me the passion, as well as the skills and ability in supporting others to feel empowered to achieve their own goals.
I have always worked within the caring profession, whether it be as a teaching assistant, youth worker, volunteer or social worker. My passion lies in supporting other people who may be suffering with anxiety and/or stress which may make them feel overwhelmed. My aim is to assist my clients to make great strides in their potential and work towards achieving positive and empowering changes in their every day life.
I offer an empathic, non judgemental and supportive service, which is tailored towards meeting your needs and I will help guide you towards achieving your best hopes and outcomes, enabling you to improve your emotional wellbeing.
I am fully insured and I ensure that I participate in regular continuing professional development (CPD) courses and academic research.
