As the world becomes increasingly demanding, more and more people are suffering from anxiety, compulsive habits, phobias and addictions. Behind those problems is often a lack of confidence or self worth or just a feeling of 'being stuck' and not being able to move forward with life.

Hypnotherapy is a practical way of addressing these problems without the need for countless hours of therapy. It is also more effective than medication because it treats the cause not just the symptoms.

I was attracted to studying hypnotherapy initially because I witnessed how it helped my daughter get through a difficult stage of her life. In doing so, I learned how powerful the unconscious mind is in driving our actions and how it can be gently influenced to change its behaviour.

My training in Cognitive Hypnotherapy was at the Quest Institute in London. This school and its founder Trevor Sylvester are at the cutting edge of Hypnotherapy and I believe have evolved the most effective, dynamic and innovative programme in the country.

I have a Diploma in Cognitive Hypnotherapy from The Quest institute and I am a member of the National Council for Hypnotherapy and the Complimentary and National Healthcare Council.

Before becoming a Cognitive Hypnotherapist, I had a career in business, working in London for twelve years and moving to Glasgow in the 1990's, where I started my own company with two partners, eventually selling it in 2008. I have travelled extensively and speak two foreign languages. My wife and I have lived in Northumberland since 2019.
