About Me

A little bit about me:

My background is in the NHS, I worked as a Midwife for 12 years and a Contraceptive and Sexual Health Nurse for 4 years at the same time (I like to be busy!), then trained as a Hypnobirthing instructor after my children were born with KG Hypnobirthing, putting to good use my years of experience as a Midwife which led me to train in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy!

I have also spent a period of time volunteering for Families and Babies as a Breast Feeding Peer support and set up and ran the Ormskirk BF group, overlapping my Hypnobirthing and training to become a Hypnotherapist. I loved this role as I enjoy talking to and helping women to achieve their goals.

I trained with Clifton Practice Hypnotherapy Training (CPHT), the Gold Standard in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, gaining my Level 4 Diploma (Hypnotherapy in Practice Diploma – HPD) in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy with CPHT Liverpool.

I am currently working towards the Advanced Hypnotherapy Diploma (AHD) having completed additional study days in Fertility, Childbirth and SFH, PTSD, Pain, Grief, LGBTQ+, Needle phobia and Psychoneuroimmunology to name a few, and completed an additional Diploma in Medical Hypnotherapy.

I completed my Level 5 qualification as a Solution Focused Supervisor in Hypnotherapy in 2023 and now enjoy supporting and supervising fellow SF Hypnotherapists, offering Solution Focused Supervision to fellow Hypnotherapists monthly around my clinic.

I am also a Senior Lecturer at CPHT Liverpool and Chester , where I teach the next generation of CPHT Solution Focused Hypnotherapists.

I also researched and wrote my own CPD (Continuous Professional Development) study days for qualified Hypnotherapists on Women’s Mental Health and Perinatal Mental Health, Birth Trauma and Pregnancy Loss. Qualified Hypnotherapists can book themselves onto those here. I deliver these biannually and continually update them with the latest information.

I am fully insured, I hold an extended DBS, am fully up to date with my First Aid, and registered and accredited with the Association for Solution-Focused Hypnotherapists (AfSFH), the National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH), and the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC).

When I’m not working or studying, I like nothing better than to read a book that has absolutely nothing to do with psychology! I’m a bit of an avid reader of pretty much anything (cosy mystery, romantasy, chick lit – something far away from what’s talked about in the clinic room, really!). I also love to knit, sew, crochet and nap.
