Why Choose Me?

Choosing a therapist or coach that you feel not only confident in but also relaxed and happy working with is the first step to achieving the changes that you are looking for.

I hope you find all the information you will need to help you decide that I am the right therapist for you.

I have lived and worked in Uxbridge, West London for over 20 years. For most of my life I have been involved in creative pursuits in the arts working in graphic design for many years. Ever since I was young I have been interested in Meditation and Buddhism. I write and record music and to keep fit and active I run and do Yoga.

My passion for creative pursuits has led me to notice the patterns in things. The patterns in pictures, a piece of music or the meaning in words or how they are presented. Humans are great at finding patterns and communicating ideas through patterns and symbols. Language is probably the best example of this.

I started to get interested in the patterns of people's thinking. Where do good ideas come from? What gets people out of bed in the morning and motivates them to do what they do? And for me personally I wanted be able to get myself to do more of what I enjoyed and less of what was just habit. 

I was always intrigued by hypnosis from what I saw on television and read about in books. I studied hypnotherapists like Milton Erickson and found a whole new world of therapeutic interest. I first took a short course in Self-Hypnosis which fired my interest and then I started to read any books I could find on the subject.

At that time I was then lucky enough to come across the Quest institute at Regents University which offered the standard of training and integrity which I had been looking for. This is where I gained my qualifications in Cognitive Hypnotherapy but more importantly learned and started to practise the skills that I have today.

As a graduate of the Quest Institute which offers one of the most rigorous courses of its kind in this country, I have been extensively trained in the therapeutic use of hypnotherapy, and have taken their Diploma in Cognitive Hypnotherapy where I was one of the first students to be awarded a distinction (DipCHyp).

I have also gone on to assist Trevor Silvester the founder of the Quest Institute.

As I continue on this path and as a member of the National Council of Hypnotherapy undertake to continuous professional development. I have been awarded the NCH Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma (HPD) which is the first nationally accredited hypnotherapy qualification awarded by the NCFE National Awarding Body.

I have found that doing something well, consistently, is not an accident it is a process.

What beliefs and stories do we hold about ourselves? I love this Buddhist quote as it sums up that idea quite profoundly.

      "We are what we think. All that we are, arises with our thoughts.
      With our thoughts, we make our world."
      The Buddha
