Please Note: Hypnotherapy is a complementary therapy and is not a replacement for medical treatment. If you have any medical concerns, I recommend that you consult with your GP or healthcare provider before starting therapy. Hypnotherapy is not a substitute for psychological or psychiatric treatment. If you are currently under the care of a healthcare professional for mental health concerns, I advise that you seek their advice and obtain written consent before proceeding with hypnotherapy. If you are in a mental health crisis or experiencing severe psychological issues, hypnotherapy is not suitable for you, and you should seek immediate medical attention.

Other areas I treat

I am trained to work with addictive and compulsive behaviours using Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy, where this approach is appropriate and within scope. Support is offered within a non-medical, ethical framework, with careful assessment of suitability, risk, and professional boundaries.

Where appropriate, clients may be encouraged or required to engage with additional professional or medical support. Hypnotherapy is not offered as a replacement for medical, psychiatric, or specialist addiction services, and may not be suitable for everyone.

Support focuses on emotional wellbeing, coping strategies, and confidence-building, rather than the diagnosis or treatment of medical or psychiatric conditions.
