I didn’t come to hypnotherapy in a straight line. Before training as a hypnotherapist, I worked as a professional cook, spent time in telephone‑based customer service, and eventually became a driving instructor and trainer of driving instructors, a role I’ve held for more than 20 years. What those careers all had in common -though I didn’t fully appreciate it at the time- was that each one depended on understanding people: what they need, what gets in their way, and how to communicate in a way that actually lands. That thread runs through my work now.

What drew me to hypnotherapy wasn’t the idea of quick fixes, but a growing interest in how people think, learn, change, and sometimes find themselves stuck. Over the years I’ve watched people overcome fears, build confidence, and achieve things they once believed were beyond them, and hypnotherapy felt like a natural extension of that curiosity.

My training is primarily Ericksonian, which in simple terms means I don’t believe there’s one “right” way to help someone change. It’s collaborative and flexible, working with who you are rather than trying to fit you into a method. I’m not here to tell you what to think or hand you a script to follow; I’m here to help you understand what’s happening, recognise what may be keeping it in place, and build from there.

I practise in Glasgow and work with people experiencing difficulties such as mild anxiety, stress, low confidence, unwanted habits, and feeling stuck in patterns they’d like to change. If I believe another form of support would be more appropriate, I will always discuss that openly and honestly. I am professionally trained in clinical and advanced hypnotherapy and committed to ongoing development, supervision, and ethical practice. If you’re wondering whether hypnotherapy might be right for you, the best first step is a conversation -no pressure, no obligation, just an honest discussion about what you’re hoping to change and whether I can help.
