Profile
I am a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, (CBT) and Hypnotherapist, specialising in Stress Management, Depression Treatments, Anxiety Management Techniques, Overcoming Low Confidence and Low Self Esteem, Anger Management, Addictions and Addictive Behaviour Treatments, Relaxation and Positive VisualisationTechniques.
So whether you have relationship issues,work related issues, have suffered bullying, social anxiety, phobias, obsessive compulsive disorder, separation or divorce, loneliness, jealousy, shame or guilt issues, fear of commitment, trouble sleeping or even living with pain - the therapy I offer can give you the tools to help you cope and deal with these difficulties effectively, and as well as empowering and motivating you, it will help you dispel those crippling fears and stresses, and strengthen your confidence and self-esteem
I offer a Free Consultation, and also provide Free online Mentoring for clients as they progress through their therapy programme, to offer extra support and encouragement along the way.
You will learn how to challenge negative thought patterns; try out new alternative behaviours to promote progress; learn how to generate positive energy and protect yourself from negativity; learn about Distraction techniques and how they work; as well as how to administer advanced coping skills which allow you to break through fear and anxiety effectively.
Visualisation, in the positive sense, is the inspirational power within us all, and through Hypnotherapy, you will learn the skills of Deep Relaxation, and how powerfully effect it is in helping you to release yourself from old judgements, resistances and negativity you have stored from the past, and to mentally rehearse or create your desired present and future, in the most positive and satisfying way.(Visualisation/Relaxation exercises are recorded during your sessions, so you will also have CD's tailored to your needs, to take away with you)
You will also have the opportunity of using a new tool in helping you to de-stress, this tool is a Meditation Machine, (MindSpa) which “uses special patterns of light and sound to lead you gently into the peaceful, calm states of mind body, and will help you to relax deeply, and improve concentration
The MindSpa is an excellent tool for those who usually find it difficult to relax, it not only aids quick and easy relaxation, it also "accelerates the meditation process" and enables you to experience a deeper level of focus, as I guide you through the powerful and effective techniques of Positive Visualisation - You will truly experience the wonderful benefits the MindSpa and Deep relaxation gives you:- in reducing anxiety; lifting the mood; greater awareness; more energy; better sleep patterns; greater emotional stability; and a real sense of wellbeing - enabling you to feel more inspired and motivated to really make that positive difference in your life.

So this therapy, together with your commitment, is your unique tool kit for creating the opportunity to experience for yourself, a new beginning, while making a real positive difference in your life.
My base is at The Cottage Therapy Centre in Kenilworth, where I have been busily active in increasing my skills and sharing my knowledge, but I also work in the North Coventry area too.
I started out as a Clinical Hypnotherapist,(Diploma) and then trained and qualified (Diploma) as a Cognitive Behaviour Therapist. CBT has now become my main therapy activity, because I believe it lends a very practical and immensely successful approach, in helping people master their thoughts and emotions, so they are able to think and do things in a more healthier, emotionally balanced way. The surroundings of The Cottage are relaxed and comfortable, and there is also the option of seeing me in North Warwickshire too if this is closer to where you live.
Training, Qualifications & Experience
I trained and qualified in CBT through the Institute of Counselling, where I am continually active on my journey with professional development, to ensure I stay up to date with my skills, and further develop my qualifications and training.
I have a wide depth of experience in all areas of depression, anxiety and fear, confidence issues, anger management and a whole range of stress related symptoms, as well as many addictive behaviours like OCD, alcohol, food, mild drugs
I am also a CCC Registered Counsellor, and adhere to the ethics and high standards of the BABCP
