Having worked in education for over 20 years, much of that time in specialist schools, I developed a deep understanding of the different ways children experience the world and the importance of helping them feel safe, understood and supported.

Throughout my teaching career, I became increasingly passionate about understanding what lies beneath a child's behaviour. I developed knowledge and skills in supporting emotional regulation, helping children understand and embrace their neurodiversity, nurturing those who had experienced trauma, and recognising that behaviour is often a form of communication. By putting myself in a child's shoes, observing carefully and looking beyond what was immediately visible, I was able to better understand their individual needs and how to support them.

Over time, I realised that I wanted to take everything I had learned and continue making a difference in another way. This led me to train at the East Anglian Institute of Hypnotherapy, allowing me to build on my experience and extend my work beyond the classroom.

I now run my own private therapy practice, where I have the privilege of supporting children, teenagers and adults.

As an Integrative Therapist, I draw on a combination of psychotherapy to explore the underlying causes of difficulties, counselling skills to ensure you feel listened to, heard and understood, and analytical hypnotherapy to help shed light on the hidden habits or emotions that may be holding you back.

Our experiences shape the way we think, feel and respond to the world around us. Sometimes, understanding why we feel or behave in certain ways is the first step towards making the life we want for ourselves. My role is to help you explore what might be holding you back, and support you to move towards positive, lasting change.

If you're ready to feel happier, build confidence and develop a better understanding of yourself, or if you're looking for support for your child or teenager, I'd love to hear from you.
