This is a private practice and is also covered by ASCA complementary health insurance coverage. Fees are payable in full before a usual four or six session course of therapy begins.  

I specialise in executive stress management. I am also very experienced in supporting expatriate spouses in their life demands, and older teens as they prepare for exams. As a mother and professional who has worked and raised children in multiple countries, I understand the pressures and the experience.

Why Choose Cognitive-Behavioural Hypnotherapy (CBH)?

Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy is a powerful, evidence-based approach that combines the best of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Hypnotherapy. The techniques I use are backed by rigorous research and endorsed by prestigious bodies like the British Psychological Society, the British Medical Association, the American Medical Association and ASCA.

Both CBT and Hypnotherapy are widely recognised as effective psychotherapeutic approaches. When combined, they create a synergistic effect, offering deeper, longer-lasting results.

My methods are grounded in peer-reviewed, scientifically validated techniques that align with the highest standards in psychology and medicine.

Whether you're looking to overcome anxiety, break free from habits, or enhance your well-being, CBH offers a comprehensive solution tailored to your unique needs.
