How Can I Help?
Whether you're feeling anxious or overwhelmed, struggling with pain or tension, or simply out of balance — you're not alone. I offer two distinct, one-to-one approaches to support your wellbeing.
​
Through acupuncture, I help relieve physical symptoms like pain, fatigue, and tension by supporting your body’s natural healing response.
Through cognitive hypnotherapy, I support you in shifting unhelpful thought patterns, easing emotional distress, and feeling more connected and at ease.
​
Whichever path you choose, sessions are personalised, gentle, and focused on what matters most to you.

An ancient, holistic therapy that restores balance, relieves pain, reduces stress, and supports overall wellbeing. By treating the root cause, not just the symptoms, acupuncture can help with a wide range of conditions, from physical discomfort to emotional wellbeing.
A modern approach that blends hypnotherapy with cognitive and behavioural techniques to create deep, lasting change. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, phobias, trauma, or unhelpful habits, cognitive therapy helps you shift limiting beliefs and regain control.

What To Expect
Each session - whether in person or online - is tailored to support you in the way that feels right. There's no pressure or expectation, just a safe, supportive space where meaningful change can unfold.
About Me
I’m a Cognitive Hypnotherapist and Acupuncturist with a calm, down-to-earth approach. People often come to me when they feel stuck - emotionally, physically or both - and are looking for a safe, supportive space to explore what’s going on and begin to feel better.
​
My work is shaped by the idea that we all have the capacity for change, especially when we feel heard and understood. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions - I’ll listen carefully, and we’ll find a way forward that feels right for you.
​
My background combines both traditional and modern approaches to wellbeing. I offer acupuncture and cognitive hypnotherapy as separate paths, and I’m happy to talk through what might suit you best.
