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.

I would highly reccomend Jen an amazing professional with health, kindness and options focused approaches at the heart of her practice. I found exactly what I needed in a therapist and learned so much about my own brain at a time I needed it most. Thanks for being part of my journey!

Jen was understanding and explained the theory behind anxiety with the brain. Also why repeat behaviours happen. The hypnotherapy was super calming and the best part for me where I could fully relax. This is me on the road to recovery. Many thanks 😊

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Life Changing Support - I Can’t Recommend Jen Enough! I started weekly sessions with Jen five months ago when I was at breaking point. I was dealing with crippling anxiety that stopped me from doing normal things like flying, going on holiday, visiting the dentist, and managing health anxiety. I had tried multiple therapies in the past and understood the concept of anxiety, but I just couldn't put it into practice. I honestly couldn’t see how my life could ever improve. Fast forward to today, and I never thought I could be living the life I have now. Thanks to Jen, I’ve successfully had dental treatments and have even been away on holiday, alongside countless other wins that once felt completely impossible. While I still experience normal anxious moments, I can control them easily now. It’s so much more manageable, and I never get to that terrifying spiralling point anymore. Jen is a truly amazing therapist. She listens, without judgement, shows genuine care and interest, and creates a completely safe space. She has seen all different versions of me, yet she shows up with the same patience, kindness and support every single time. She even accommodates last minute sessions when I’m struggling, always with genuine willingness. One thing that makes Jen so special is how much she celebrates every little win with you. People around you don’t always understand how huge it is to do something that feels terrifying when you struggle with anxiety; but Jen gets it, and she makes you feel proud of every step forward. I know most people do their sessions and move on, but I honestly can't imagine losing her support and our chats…so she is likely stuck with me for a while longer (if she’ll have me! 🤣). If you are on the fence about hypnotherapy, let my experience be the push you need to give it a go. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Thank you so much, Jen. I honestly owe you more than I could ever put into words ❤️

It took me a very long time to pluck up the courage to get some help for the almost crippling anxiety that appeared almost out of nowhere . I made my first appointment with Jen and on our first session she made me feel at ease straight away with her warm approach and gentle humour and clearly explained how the primitive part of my brain was working. The deep relaxation sessions and helpful relaxing tape at night has been an extremely helpful addition to my weekly sessions.  Today, after roughly 12 sessions I now have my life back, a tearful realisation of that hit me last week realising how far I had come.  I am so glad I booked my first session with Jen she has really helped me more than words can say and I cannot recommend her enough.

After struggling on for some time I decided to take the plunge and address my issue today with my 1st consultation. After explaining certain things to me Jen made me feel like I am 100% on the right path and at long last it has given me some hope that I can begin to feel much better in the near future. Can’t wait to start my sessions with Jen .
