Frequently asked questions
Have questions about how this works?
You’re in the right place.
-
This approach is suitable for anyone who feels they're ready for things to change.
You may be struggling with anxiety, stress, overthinking, low confidence, people-pleasing, unhealthy boundaries, phobias, habits or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. Or you may simply want to feel happier, calmer and more in control of your life.
Every person is different, so we'll tailor the work to your individual goals and needs.
-
Sessions are tailored to you and the type of work you would like to focus on. The first part of the session usually involves a focused conversation about what you would like to change and the direction you want your life to move in.
Depending on the session, we may then work with approaches such as EFT, hypnotherapy or other techniques to shift emotional patterns and support nervous system regulation.
Most sessions also include relaxing, reiki-supported hypnosis, which helps the mind and body settle and allows the subconscious to become more receptive to positive change.
One of the perks of online therapy is that you can do this part from your sofa, bed or anywhere you feel comfortable, making it easier to fully relax - which often allows the work to go deeper and create more meaningful shifts.
-
It really depends on you and what you’d like help with. For a lot of people, around 12 sessions works well - but some people feel a shift much sooner than that, while others might require a little longer for extra support.
We’ll chat about what feels right for you in your initial consultation.
-
Most sessions last around 50 minutes (though I always recommend allowing a full hour, just in case).
We start with a solution-focused conversation, where I gently guide you with questions to help you reflect on what’s going well and where you’d like to go next. I always begin the session by asking, “What’s been good about your week?” - it’s a simple question that helps shift focus towards the positive, and encourages the development of new, helpful, neural pathways in your brain.
In the second half of the session, you’ll enjoy a deeply relaxing guided hypnosis, designed to support the changes you want to make and reinforce calm, confidence, and clarity.
-
No. Hypnosis does not involve losing control or being unconscious. You remain aware and in control the entire time. Most people describe it as a calm, deeply relaxed state where the mind becomes more focused and receptive.
-
Yes. I work with clients online across the UK (and beyond). Online hypnotherapy is just as effective as in-person work - and many clients actually prefer it, as it allows them to fully relax into the hypnosis from the comfort of their own home (often snuggled up in bed!).
-
Yes. If private 1:1 therapy isn't the right fit for your budget, I also run small online therapeutic group programmes throughout the year.
These programmes combine many of the same evidence-based approaches I use in my individual sessions, including solution-focused psychotherapy, hypnotherapy and EFT, but at a much lower cost.

I’m a Registered Psychiatric Nurse, Clinical Hypnotherapist and EFT therapist, with a background in traditional holistic practices that support emotional and physical wellbeing.
My work blends clinical insight with holistic approaches, combining therapeutic conversation with techniques that support the subconscious mind and nervous system. This allows the work to go beyond talking alone and can help create deeper and more lasting change.
The aim is to create a safe, supportive space where you can settle inner tension, reconnect with yourself and move through life changes with greater clarity and confidence.
-
Yes. Many of the people who come to this work have already tried counselling or other forms of therapy. While talking therapies can be very helpful for insight and understanding, they don’t always shift the deeper emotional patterns held in the subconscious mind and nervous system.
Because this approach works with those deeper levels, it can help create changes that people often feel not just intellectually, but emotionally and physically as well. For many clients, this is where things that previously felt stuck begin to move.
