I practise brief, solution-focused hypnotherapy and psychotherapy combined with powerful NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) techniques. That means that I focus on problem-solving, rather than exploration, and that the therapy will have a precise goal. Hypnosis is used for specific reasons when indicated.
I often see clients for one session only, and where a longer treatment is required sessions rarely number more than 8-10. This is usually in cases of moderate to severe depression. The format of my therapy session is outlined below.
Hypnotherapy is used when deemed appropriate in conjunction with cognitive, and behavioural approaches, which just means looking at how you think, and what you do around the problem. I also always consider a client's basic needs from a human givens perspective.
Sessions last 1hr 30 minutes or longer. I charge by the session, not by the hour. I am a great believer in getting as much out of a single session as possible. My prices are outlined on the charges page
Hypnotherapy and psychotherapy can help with:
Anxiety, panic attacks, depression, stress, phobias, trauma, pain, weight loss, smoking, addictions, shyness, public speaking, self confidence, sleep problems, exam nerves, interviews and more...

Format of a session
In most cases, the session follows the following tried and tested format.
- You make initial contact with me through email, phone or via my website.
- We will have an initial discussion/dialogue via email or phone to discuss your requirements and whether I can help you. In some cases I may refer you to a more appropriate therapist.
- If we agree to setup a session, we will in all cases have a phone discussion prior to the session to obtain more detail about your requirements and your expectations from the session.
- I will always ask you to complete a small questionairre and return it to me prior to the session taking place. This is very important as it allows us both to get a clearer understanding of requirements and goals. Many clients have fed back to me that the process of answering the questions already changed their perspective on the problem, prior to the session.
- The session will take place at my office in Wansford or at Wansford Surgeries
- During the session, I may assign you some tasks to complete in the days/weeks following the session. These are specifically designed to help imbed the change work from the session, or to understand more about an issue.
- At the end of the session, we will sometimes agree whther another session is required, and we will also agree a timescale in which I will contact you via phone or email to discuss and jointly asses progress
- After the agreed follow up timescale, I will contact you to discuss your progress, and discuss how you have been getting on with any assigned tasks. We will also agree any subsequent next steps
- We will always jointly agree when your goal has been achieved
- In some cases, I will ask you whether it is possible for you to complete an optional feedback form for me so that I can assess the quality of my work.
