Hypnotherapist for the North East - About Myself

In 1999 I developed a fascination for hypnosis and how the mind works. Initially this interest was just a hobby but I knew I wanted to learn more. So I went on to study with the Institute of Clinical Hypnosis at Kings College London where I achieved a Foundation Certificate and a Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy. I am now a fellow member of the Association of The Institute of Clinical Hypnosis and a member of the General Hypnotherapy Register. I am alsoregistered with the NHS Directory of Complementary and Alternative Practitioners. I treat a diverse range of problems which include smoking cessation, weight control, stress and anxiety, low self esteem, panic attacks, irritable bowel, fear of public speaking, fears and phobia’s. Other therapies I practice include Neuro Linguistic Programming.


In 2010 I was asked to contribute to an article for a London fashion Magazine on "shyness and the effect it has on our lives", this article can be viewed on the site.

Your mind is similar to a computer hard drive, you input information through the senses and then its stored. However unlike the computer hard drive the subconciouus mind will interpret's the context of the data as it happens and this interpretation determine's how we react to it. Imagine if we see things in the wrong context, it is likely we will react in the wrong way, maybe irrationally. These negative or destructive reaction's form the foundation of how we live, but these negative thoughts and emotions can be changed, you can live the life you want, be a much happier, calmer and more relaxed.

When a baby is born he/she inherit only two fears, a fear of heights and a fear of loud sounds. As the baby grows and view's the world around them they start to interpret events as they happen. For example a baby will pick up on the reaction of a parent or sibling at the sight of a large spider, naturally the baby sense's danger and that image is stored in the subconcious mind for ever. Imagine the thousands of pieces of data we take in through the senses every minute, creating mental images that determine how we react. So you can see how we suffer from paranoia, jealousy, develop fear's and phobia's, suffer stress and anxiety, act irrationally and can self destruct. But it does not have to be like that!

What is more alarming is how we hope to overcome our problems by using addictive stimulants. Cigarette's, alcohol, drug's, anti-depressants are not the answer and only compound the problem. Many people develop a habit, become an addict, spending money they can't afford, develop health problems, become highly stressed, think and act irrational and risk becoming neurotic and psychotic. A vicious circle that can be reversed with my help!

Hypnotherapy has helped mny people change destructive lifestyle's by replacing negative thought pattern's with positive one's, giving you the opportunity to live a happier, calmer, more relaxed and contented life. Get out of the rut, live the life you've always wanted and discover the wonderful benefits of hypnosis.
