Specialisations and Expertises

My specialist area is working with adults whose lives are being limited by anxiety, panic, fear responses, and phobias. This includes everything from specific phobias and panic attacks to chronic worry, avoidance patterns, and the deeper beliefs that keep fear active long after the original cause has passed.

Over nearly 23 years in practice I've worked extensively with anxiety in all its forms—and I understand both how these patterns become established and, more importantly, how they can genuinely shift.

My Approach

I combine hypnotherapy with integrative psychotherapy and trauma-informed methods, which means the work addresses both the immediate symptoms of anxiety and what's driving them underneath. This isn't surface-level management—it's working with the part of your mind where fear responses are actually stored, allowing more lasting change to take place.

Common areas of focus include panic responses and fear of losing control, specific phobias and situational fears, social and performance anxiety, health anxiety, avoidance behaviours that have gradually narrowed life choices, and the underlying beliefs that fuel fear—such as "I'm not safe" or "I can't cope."

About Phobias and Fear Responses

Phobias and conditioned fear reactions are learned patterns rather than fixed conditions or character flaws. With a careful, structured, and supportive approach, most people find that change is more accessible than they expected—without needing to force themselves through experiences that feel overwhelming. Hypnotherapy is particularly well-suited to this work because it addresses fear where it lives, rather than simply trying to manage it at a conscious level.

Number of Sessions

This genuinely varies depending on the nature and history of the issue, and I think it's important to be straightforward about that rather than offer a one-size-fits-all answer.

Some clients with a specific, contained phobia begin to notice significant change within 3–6 sessions. Others with longer-standing anxiety patterns, avoidance behaviours, or more complex histories benefit from a more in-depth piece of work over a longer period. Progress is reviewed regularly so we can adjust the approach as needed—and you're never locked into a fixed number of sessions.

What I can say with confidence is that most clients notice meaningful shifts earlier than they expected.

Most common issues I support people with:

1. Panic and panic attacks Sudden, overwhelming waves of fear accompanied by physical symptoms—racing heart, breathlessness, dizziness, a sense of losing control. Panic can feel terrifying and unpredictable, and often leads to a fear of the panic itself. The work focuses on helping your mind and body develop a genuine sense of safety, breaking the cycle that keeps panic returning.
2. Anxiety and chronic worry Persistent tension, overthinking, restlessness, and a constant sense of being on edge. General anxiety can quietly erode sleep, confidence, and daily functioning over time—often so gradually that it starts to feel normal. It isn't, and it doesn't have to stay that way.
3. Phobias and specific fears Fear of flying, driving, medical or dental procedures, social situations, confined spaces, animals, or other specific triggers. Phobias are learned responses—which means they can be unlearned. Hypnotherapy is particularly well-suited to this work because it addresses fear at the level where it's stored, rather than just managing it consciously.
4. Fear-based avoidance When anxiety or fear leads to avoiding situations, places, or experiences, life can gradually shrink. What starts as one avoided situation can quietly grow into a much larger pattern of restriction. Therapy supports you in gently expanding what feels possible again—at a pace that feels manageable, not overwhelming.
5. The beliefs driving the fear Beneath most anxiety and phobias sit deep-rooted beliefs: "I'm not safe," "I can't cope," "Something bad is going to happen." These beliefs often formed earlier in life and continue to fuel fear responses long after the original experience has passed. Addressing these underlying patterns is often what makes the difference between temporary relief and lasting change.
