My Journey

My path to becoming a therapist was shaped profoundly by personal life-altering experiences. During the first COVID pandemic, I faced my own battle with breast cancer, and soon after, my son was diagnosed with cancer as a Teenager and Young Adult (TYA). These events not only ignited my determination to heal but also inspired me to retrain into a field where I could provide meaningful support to others navigating similar challenges.

Cancer Research UK has highlighted the benefits of hypnotherapy for trauma, yet this powerful tool is still not widely accessible. Recognizing the need to bridge this gap, I specialize in offering hypnotherapy and other therapies to address the unique traumas associated with serious illness.

Additionally, my experience of domestic abuse during this period further deepened my understanding of trauma in its many forms. I am now well-versed in addressing physical, sexual, social, emotional, and financial trauma release, drawing from both professional training and personal resilience.
