Thanks for taking a look at my site. I hope it answers your questions and that you feel comfortable enough to contact me to discuss things further. As you will recognise from the information below, my extensive training and varied background has allowed me to develop a unique, personal and integrative approach to my work. I have a combination of training, experience and enthusiasm in clinical hypnotherapy, NLP therapy and as a psychologist which is rare among therapists working in my field today.

I completed a Masters degree in Psychology in Australia in 1994, gaining registration with the Australian Psychological Registration Board in 1996 after completing 2 years of supervised clinical experience. In 2001, in the UK, I successfully completed diplomas in Clinical Hypnotherapy and Neuro-Linguistic Programming NLP therapy, resulting in accreditation as a Clinical Hypnotherapist and NLP therapy practitioner. I have received extensive training in brief solution-focused counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy.

I am a member of the Australian Psychological Society (APS), the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy(BACP) and the Complimentary Medical Association (CMA). I am registered with the UK Guild of Hypnotist Examiners (UKGHE), the British Register of Advanced Hypnotherapists (BRAH), the Australian Psychological Registration Board, the National Phobic Society in London (NPS) and the National Register of Practitioners in Smoking Cessation (NRPSC).

I have worked in the voluntary, public and private sectors in London, Surrey and around the UK treating large and varied client groups from the seriously mentally ill, learning disabled, survivors of abuse and trauma to individuals needing assistance with building confidence, public speaking, smoking cessation, weight loss and relationship difficulties, to name a few. I am a consultant for various organisations in the United Kingdom providing psychotherapy, I hold an NHS provider number and comprehensive insurance.

As a psychologist my private clinical work in London and Surrey embraces an integrative approach offering Clinical Hypnotherapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming - NLP therapy , Brief solution-focused counselling and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). I adopt the approach/s which best suit the individual, as this flexibility in approach offers clients the opportunity to optimise the positive benefits from each.

My qualifications as a psychologist, in clinical hypnotherapy and NLP therapy, it has given me a thorough understanding of the psychology of human beings, the complex 'problems' we encounter and various methods of assisting individuals to manage life better than they may have previously. My practical experience has allowed me to develop a compassionate but professional approach. These attributes work collectively, enabling me to effectively guide individuals to realise their potential, encouraging the development of clients' independence and strength to make desired life changes for themselves.
