Your questions answered

My approach is all about helping you navigate your thoughts and embrace your full potential. We’ll work together to untangle limiting beliefs, overcome fears, and align your responses with your goals. It’s a warm, collaborative process that’s tailored to you.

In short, yes. Your mind responds to therapeutic suggestion much the same way whether we're in the same room or on a video call – it's the quality of the connection that matters, not the physical distance. Being in a familiar environment can support the process rather than get in the way of it, and meeting online means we can stay consistent, without travel breaking up momentum. If you're still not sure, the free 20-minute consultation is a low-pressure way to experience it for yourself before committing to a series of sessions.

Yes – that's the actual aim. Calming nerves in the room treats Act Two. This work addresses the script being written in Act One and the reflection that happens in Act Three, which is what changes the pattern over time. The challenge with trying to calm nerves is that if I say "don't think of a pink elephant" you can't stop. The same is true of anxious thoughts. what we aim to do is give you the ability to do your best work even if you are feeling nervouse=.

My approach is unique in three key ways:

• I bring together thirty years as an actor with clinical training as a cognitive behavioural hypnotherapist – so this isn't theory, it's lived experience.
• I focus on presence and curiosity – helping you drop the script you didn't audition for and reconnect with your awesome authentic self.
• I create a space where you don't need to perform success to be helped. The quiet, reflective work of finding your way back to yourself matters as much as the visible breakthroughs.

While relaxation is one component, cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy goes much deeper. We combine elements of cognitive therapy (working with thought patterns), behavioural techniques (developing new responses to triggers), and hypnosis (accessing unconscious patterns) to create comprehensive change. The approach is both practical and profound, addressing both immediate symptoms and deeper patterns.

I hold a Level 5 Higher Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy, along with a Diploma in Stress Management & Resilience Building and a Certificate in Integrative CBT, all from the UK College of Hypnosis & Hypnotherapy. I'm registered with the National Council of Integrative Psychotherapists (NCIP) and the International Stress Management Association (ISMA), and I work in line with their codes of ethics and practice.

Hypnotherapy supports both behavioural and cognitive habit change by addressing the underlying patterns that drive unwanted habits. On the behavioural side, we can work on interrupting automatic responses and replacing them with healthier, more positive actions. Cognitively, hypnotherapy helps uncover and shift the beliefs and thought patterns that reinforce the habit, making it easier for you to break free and adopt new, empowering routines. Together, we’ll tailor strategies to create lasting change in your life.

We’ll work together to explore the root of these fears and use hypnotherapy to shift your thought patterns. The goal is to empower you to move forward without being held back by self-doubt or worrying about what others think.

Yes, it’s one of the things I specialise in. Hypnotherapy is great for breaking free from limiting beliefs and releasing shame. Together, we’ll work to replace those patterns with self-acceptance and confidence.

Goal-oriented therapy focuses on identifying clear, actionable outcomes you want to achieve through our work together. In our sessions, we’ll collaborate to break down your goals into manageable steps and address any obstacles holding you back. Hypnotherapy can support this process by helping you build the mindset and habits necessary to achieve your desired results. Whether your goals are related to personal growth, professional success, or overcoming specific challenges, we’ll create a tailored plan to help you succeed.

They overlap but aren't identical. Stage fright tends to centre on the performance itself, in front of an audience. Audition anxiety is specific to the audition room and everything that leads up to it – the compounding stress of preparation, logistics and evaluation, not just the moment of performing

Not necessarily. While hypnosis is a big part of what I do, some weeks we might use cognitive behavioural approaches or other techniques to explore different aspects of your goals. Every session is tailored to your individual needs and progress. Our sessions also involve me getting to understand your issues and identifying the language that will best inspire change, so that each session of hypnosis is uniquely tailored to helping you get the most out of our work together.

Sometimes, yes. I might suggest simple homework to build on what we’ve done in our sessions. This could include listening to recordings of hypnosis scripts, journaling, or practicing new strategies we’ve discussed. I recommend practicing with each recording for at least two weeks to fully absorb its positive messages. These small, manageable steps help solidify positive changes and keep you moving forward toward your goals.

Absolutely! I offer a free consultation session to help us get to know each other and see if we’re a good fit. If you decide to work with me, we’ll have an initial consultation session to dive deeper into your concerns and define clear goals for our work together. During this session, I’ll indicate the number of sessions I anticipate will be needed, and we’ll agree on a pricing plan that works for you.

Yes. Hypnosis isn't something done to you – it's a state you're guided into, and that guidance works just as well through a screen as it does in person. All you need is a quiet space and a stable connection.

Completely normal. Many people have misconceptions about hypnosis based on stage shows or media portrayals. During our free 20-minute consultation, I’ll explain exactly how the process works, answer all your questions, and ensure you feel comfortable before proceeding. The work is collaborative, respectful, and always moves at your pace.

I currently work exclusively online. This setup allows me to balance my personal commitments while providing consistent and flexible support to my clients. Online sessions are just as effective as in-person ones and offer the added convenience of attending from the comfort of your own space.

You can use the link above to book a free initial consultation to discuss your goals. If you choose to proceed with working together we will arrange the time of our first session. At the end of each session, we’ll discuss and arrange the next session to ensure consistent contact and progress. If you ever need to change the timing of a session, just let me know, and we’ll work together to find a suitable time.

My rates vary depending on the type of session and your individual needs. I also offer discounts for block bookings, making it more affordable if you’re planning multiple sessions. Since I take a flexible approach, feel free to contact me directly to discuss options and find a solution that works for you. I’m happy to answer any questions and tailor a plan to help you achieve your goals. You can see more details on my pricing page.

A private, comfortable space where you won't be interrupted, headphones if you have them, and a laptop, tablet or phone with a camera. That's it.

If you need to cancel or reschedule, please let me know at least 24 hours in advance to avoid a cancellation fee. Cancellations within less than 24 hours may incur a fee, except for emergencies. Thank you for understanding!

Just come with an open mind and a clear idea of what you’d like to achieve. Make sure you’re in a quiet, comfortable space where you won’t be interrupted.
