Thank you for visiting my website


I qualified in 1985 in Psychotherapy (CBT), Counselling and Clinical Hypnotherapy . This was followed by post-graduate training including Advanced NLP and EMDR (trauma desensitisation); adding the special skills for treating a great number of emotional and psychological problems.


Let me Help You:

... Overcome Habits, Compulsions and Dependencies and Change Unwanted Behaviours

... Successfully Challenge Negative Thoughts and Feelings

... Restore Calmness to a mind burdened with Worry, Anxiety and Stress

... Let Go of Emotional Pain, Traumas and Distress

... Resolve the causes of Depression, Anger, Phobias, Panic Attacks,
Loss of Confidence, Low Self-Esteem, and other emotional, behavioural
and psychological difficulties.


The patient's wellbeing is always my first concern, and all treatments are conducted in the fullest confidentiality.


I am qualified, comprehensively trained and experienced in treating a wide variety of personal, social and relationship problems. These include:

Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Phobias (Fear of Flying, Needles, Social Situations, Spiders, etc.);
Work and Domestic Stress, Worry, Insomnia, Fatigue, Loss of Motivation;
Lack of Confidence, Fear of Failure, Exam and Driving Test 'Nerves', Stage-Fright, Fear of Public Speaking;
Loss of Sporting or Work Performance;
Depression, Grief and Sadness, Loss of Self-Esteem, Guilt or Shame;
Post-Traumatic Stress (PTSD) - Nightmares, Flashbacks, Avoidance and other effects of Violence, Accidents and Disasters;

Who can be helped? Almost anyone - individuals and couples, people in home, family and workplace relationships; experiencing personal, professional, social or sexual/emotional difficulties; who are facing challenges and uncertainties; coping with pressures of work, thwarted ambitions, domestic breakdowns, grief, worry, exhaustion, their own or others' illness, effects of bullying, physical, emotional or sexual abuse, the aftermath of shock or injury; who are haunted by the past or fearful of the future, or just feel 'stuck' in outdated attitudes, habits and behaviours .....


My aim is to achieve, wherever possible,
a permanent, lasting resolution of your problem.

How can I help you? My methods are ethical and cost-effective. I use CBT, Hypnotherapy, NLP, Analytic Psychotherapy, EMDR, individual and couples Counselling, Anger & Stress Management. What helps one person may not suit another; we are all individuals and unique. I have long experience in helping people according to their individual needs.

HABITS & HEALTH
Among the commonest causes of ill health is Smoking.

Information on my comprehensive ANTI-SMOKING treatment is shown on the 'Other Therapies' section of this website.

Other Habits That Can Be Helped

People may become OVERWEIGHT through unhealthy eating (or drinking) habits, or through changes in a previously active lifestyle; or they may be driven by emotional pressures (comfort-eating). Sometimes, fluid retention or hormonal factors may be involved.
Dependence on ALCOHOL can start with an occasional drink to help a person relax or to boost confidence, with social drinking, or to 'drown their sorrows', and gradually evolve into an ingrained habit or addiction.
Like alcohol, CANNABIS and COCAINE dependencies often begin as social habits but get out of control, leading to serious financial difficulties, health problems, and relationship conflicts.

In treating these and similar problems, as with nearly all unwanted habits or excessive behaviours, in order to achieve lasting results I work to resolve any relevant underlying causes, as well as the actual habit or behaviour involved.

By resolving the after-effects of shocks and traumas, letting go of grief, anger, guilt and fear, acquiring new skills, personal resources and self- esteem in place of old, destructive habits and behaviours which are past their sell-by dates, and by learning the arts of relaxation and stress management, success, happiness, relationships and good health are all enhanced.
