I am a qualified hypnotherapist, and specialise in helping people to quit smoking, lose weight, boost confidence and self-esteem, and to overcome their fears and phobias. 

I originally trained as a Cell Biologist, completing my MSc. and PhD at the University of Manchester, where I was involved in research understanding how burns, skin-grafts and wounds heal.

I have always been fascinated by the power of the mind, and in particular, how hypnosis can help to make positive changes to a persons behaviour.  Once I completed my PhD I began to study hypnosis, and have since completed a Certificate in Clinical Hypnosis at the London College of Clinical Hypnosis (LCCH), and a Diploma in Hypnotherapy at The Mindtree Partnership, which is accredited by the British Institute of Hypnotherapy (BIH).
