I am a qualified Clinical Hypnotherapist and Life Coach. I completed my original training at the Kent College of Hypnotherapy and have been working within the holistic industry with clients since 1999. I completed my advanced training (Bsc Hons Degree) in Clinical Hypnotherapy at St Mary's University College London. I am a qualified FE teacher and was awarded the Qualified Teacher Learning and Skills Status by the IfL in December 2010.

Working within the field of thought therapy, known as Cognitive Coaching/Therapy, I help clients to understand the principle of - we feel and behave according to how we think -I also teach Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (Strategies and techniques) to enhance any therapist treatment package.
