Cognitive Hypnotherapy in Herts.

Hello and welcome to my website.

If you are experiencing anxiety in your life, if you feel lost and out of control then I would love to be able to help you. I work with people who often feel overwhelmed with worry. Guiding clients to a safer, more comfortable place, is what I am trained to do as a QCH Therapist. Anxiety does not need to be in your life – whether it’s connected to work, school or some other area – we can work together at your pace to make life what you want it to be.

There is a great deal of information around this site; but you are also welcome to contact me and arrange a time to talk in a complimentary telephone consultation. My details are at the end of this page for you and I will happily answer any questions you might have.

Therapy to help you live your life well.

Sometimes life feels hard. Talking to a therapist is a safe, effective way of getting yourself back on track. My clients are ordinary, everyday people who have decided to find help, to be able to live their lives well.

About Me...

I live in Welwyn Garden City with my husband and two teenage sons and have worked in a local school for the last fourteen years. I grew up in a family of four children where my dad was a GP and my mum a nurse. My dad was ahead of his time, using hypnosis in his work with patients, mainly for pain relief and relaxation, so growing up with hypnosis, for us, was nothing unusual!

Cognitive Hypnotherapy

Cognitive Hypnotherapy is a flexible, modern talking therapy that has the needs of the client at its heart. Each client is an individual with their own very specific issues and Cognitive Hypnotherapy offers a bespoke approach, drawing from a variety of therapies, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, NLP and Traditional Hypnotherapy…

How Can I Help You?

There are times in life when we all struggle. We can be feeling a specific fear or problem… or maybe we just can’t put a name to the feeling… we just feel stuck. Cognitive Hypnotherapy is a talking therapy that is solution based. That is… we talk about your problem, but focus on your solution.

Solution focused therapy in a calm, welcoming practice.

I run a friendly, welcoming practice where we can work together to help you move to where you want to be in your life. Sessions are confidential, structured and solution focused, with support between appointments and a calm, gentle approach. We don’t spend hours going over and over your problem, but work towards the future with positivity. I offer practical techniques to help you live your everyday life in the way you want to, whilst tackling the deeper structure of what’s going on for you.

I also offer online sessions using Zoom. This is an effective way to deliver therapy when attending a clinic is difficult and it also offers a solution to the current Coronavirus outbreak. If this seems a little daunting to you, please don’t worry. I will make this service as easily accessible as possible for you.
