I would love to share my knowledge, skills, and expertise to enable YOU to achieve a more fulfilling, happier, and healthier life.

I have worked in the field of ‘helping people’ for most of my working life. I started out from having a sales background many years ago, and begun working voluntarily (without pay) in my spare time, working in MIND, and SCOPE organisations, as well as working with offenders as a prison and bail hostel visitor. I found I loved being able to draw alongside others who were vulnerable and needing help and assist them as best as I could. This work posed to me many questions which I needed answering all beginning with the word “WHY” and “What if” so I became hungry for knowledge and understanding which led me to become professionally trained and subsequently opened so many doors. I started a career first within the Probation Service as a Probation Officer, and then on as Social Worker in Social Services working with children and families and child protection where I spent approximately six years. I then worked in the Youth Offending Service working with young offenders on their behaviour, whilst at the same time I continued my learning and became qualified in counseling, psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitasion Reprogramming). The purpose being that I could help people change at a deeper level than I had been.  I started private practice in Suffolk in 2000, and continued working on the Out of Hours Emergency Team in Suffolk dealing with crisis events. I have carried out numerous assessments for Local Authorities and run training programmes for private companies. I have continued to run a successful practice, continued my learning and training, and developed successful personal and business coaching as well as being a writer and trainer.

I now live in France, providing workshops and training packages, Life-coaching, individual and couple counselling and Quit Smoking packages at La Platriere  which is a retreat in the Auvergne. I provide a professional service to ex.pats resettling in France as well as to people from overseas who want to get away from it all for a few days and either deal with issues that present a problem in their lives, or want guidance and help in reaching their desired goals in life. In addition I present training programmes in the UK from time to time and speak at seminars. I have carried out several pieces of research, for statutory and voluntary organizations, and written several articles on self-growth and personal development. More recently I am involved in writing books, including workbooks, and producing other information products such as CDs and DVDs.

I am a qualified psychotherapist and hypnotherapist having trained to Higher Diploma level with the SACH International School of Analytical and Cognitive Hypnotherapy. I am also a certified Practitioner in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and a member of The Hypnotherapy Association and UK Hypnotherapy Register. As a Member of BACP I am bound by its Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy and subject to the Professional Conduct Procedure therein. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprogramming) providing treatment to adults and children suffering from trauma i.e. for example adjustment and recovery from an event. The acceptance criteria for training in EMDR is regulated and only available to those already in practice in the medical profession.

My desire is to help others to achieve their goals in life. I strongly believe in a clinical approach to hypnosis – producing rapid and long-lasting change. As a psychotherapist my approach is integrative and as such I adapt myself to my client’s needs instead of adapting my client to a particular theoretical model. In doing so I incorporate all the range of theoretical approaches and methods available.
