How It Works
Simple steps to make lasting changes
CONSULTATION
This is an opportunity to find out a bit more about each other and how I can help you.
It’s your chance to ask any questions and to ensure we find the right approach to achieve your goals. We discuss whether you want to work online or in-person (in Dumfries and Galloway)
We can discuss which package is right for you (typically three of five sessions).
FIRST SESSION
This may be on Zoom or face to face in Dumfries and Galloway. It is an in-depth look at where you are, where you want to be, and how we can work together using hypnotherapy to get you there.
We chat through your goals and the positive changes you would like to achieve using hypnotherapy.
Following our chat, this includes an initial hypnosis session.
FURTHER SESSIONS
Ongoing online sessions using hypnosis and other techniques to work towards making lasting and impactful changes.
Each session is up to 75 minutes
The number of sessions required varies, but typically a three of five session package works well (which we will have discussed in the consultation).
ADDITIONAL SUPPORT
You will receive exclusive access to the member hub.
Here you have access to many hypnosis recordings you can use in your own time between sessions and after our sessions are complete.
There are also other helpful tools and resources exclusive to the members hub.
My Approach
I use a blended model of talking therapy that is individual to each client, using hypnotherapy alongside other tools and techniques, to make the changes you want. This is a brief therapy approach, usually requiring only a limited number of hypnotherapy sessions. We look ahead to where you want to be, and how I can help get you there quickly.
Working together, using hypnotherapy, we can achieve your goal very quickly. My approach is practical, pragmatic and common sense. I have a gentle but determined approach to help you help yourself.
Sessions can be online (via Zoom) or in-person in Dumfries & Galloway (easily accessible from Dumfries, Castle Douglas, Kirkcudbright, Newton Stewart, Stranraer, Sanquhar, Thornhill, Langholm, Lockerbie, Annan, Carlisle, etc).
Home visits can be arranged on request.
During the free consultation, we can discuss what is the best option for you.

Online Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy online means you can access therapy from the comfort of your own home - wherever you are in the world.
All tools and techniques are just as effective online as they are face to face and many clients find it quicker and easier to relax this way. You can get comfortable in your favourite chair and enjoy all the benefits of hypnotherapy online.
Working online means I have worked with clients across the UK as well as in Dubai, South Africa, Spain, Australia, and of course right across the UK.
All online sessions are via Zoom.
What's it all about?
What is hypnotherapy?
In hypnotherapy, we create a state of deep relaxation and focussed attention. This allows you to be more receptive to positive suggestions and open to finding new ways of doing or seeing things. This means you are best placed to achieve your goals quickly.
Hypnosis can help you understand and take control of your thoughts, your feelings, and your behaviours. Through hypnotherapy, you embrace positive and impactful changes. Using positive suggestions and guided imagery and other techniques, I can help you deal with a wide range of concerns.
Together we make lasting changes. It is a pleasant and relaxing experience where your unconscious is listening as your conscious mind has a well-deserved rest.
My style of hypnotherapy
My style of hypnotherapy is solution focussed. This simply means we mainly focus on what you want to achieve. We don't look too much at the past, though of course, we will talk about that. I am more interested in getting you to where you want to be. So we use imagination and stories alongside direct positive suggestions to implement the changes you want to achieve.
It is a collaborative process. We identify what you want to accomplish, what goals you would like to achieve and how we can get you there, quickly. Sessions typically involve us chatting for a while, then we do some hypnosis, your opportunity to relax and effortlessly accept positive suggestions.
For me it is not magical or mystical, it just makes sense! So I aim to being a common sense approach to my style of hypnotherapy.
How hypnotherapy helped me
I know how well hypnotherapy works because it changed my life. Hypnotherapy has given me the confidence I needed to make positive changes in my life. For many years I have suffered with mental health issues, in particular anxiety and depression.
Related to this, I have also suffered from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). These are all things I still deal with but I know I can manage them due to the hypnotherapy I have had and the techniques I have learned. It also helped me with smoking and a phobia of snakes!
A blended approach
I also combine hypnotherapy with techniques from Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT). This ensures that we find the right tools for you. So we may do a few simple, but effective, NLP or CBT activities that will help you achieve your goal.
Additional resources and support
All clients have access to the member area of the website. This gives you a range of resources such as recordings and guides, to use in your own time. It can be challenging but clients find it highly rewarding and even fun!
