EXPERIENCE 

I qualified as a teacher in 1978. For over twenty years I have worked with young people who have additional support needs, and their families. This has included those with learning difficulties, exceptional ability and victims of abuse or neglect.

Before becoming a hypnotherapist, I learnt to understand myself through meditation and experience with many practitioners and ancient healing techniques. This has enabled me to transfer these skills to helping others.

I studied hypnotherapy in South Wales in 2006, before moving to Scotland in 2007 and setting up practice.

SPECIFIC  EMPHASIS

In this modern world, we are faced with stress and confusion about who we are and the meaning of life. I combine ancient and modern healing methods to promote self healing. Hypnosis is a form of deep relaxation that enables us to safely reach the unconscious mind and to naturally retrieve our own inner wisdom and develop awareness. This is the ‘Treasure of the Mind’ that is the key to healing and personal development.

As Human Beings, we all have the capacity to change and grow. One role of the therapist is to facilitate this through directed suggestion that motivates the client whilst under hypnosis. This could be understood as re-programming the mind from negative to positive. N.B. The client is always able to accept or reject any suggestion, and cannot be made to do anything against his/her will.  This form of hypnotherapy can help to resolve anxieties and unwanted habits. 

Alternatively, receptive transformation examines the cause of the problem, and the therapist helps the client to facilitate his/her own changes. Both methods may be effective and may be combined or used independently.

Another option may simply be to learn the skill of self-hypnosis for relaxation or personal development.
