About

I am a Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist and Sound Therapy Practitioner, and a former primary school teacher with over 25 years’ experience working with children and families. I work with adults, teenagers and children experiencing anxiety, stress, overthinking, low confidence, panic, phobias, sleep difficulties and challenging life transitions. I offer hypnotherapy from The Nest in Frieth, within easy reach of Henley-on-Thames, Marlow and High Wycombe, as well as online sessions via Zoom. My approach is practical, collaborative and evidence-based. Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy combines CBT with hypnosis and other proven psychological techniques to help you understand the thoughts, feelings and behaviours that may be keeping a problem going, and learn practical ways of responding differently. I believe therapy should give you skills you can continue to use long after our sessions have finished. My aim is to help clients become their own therapist, build confidence in their ability to manage difficulties and regain the freedom to live life more fully. Alongside my one-to-one hypnotherapy work, I also offer Hypno Sound Baths, bringing together Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy and Sound Therapy in an immersive group experience. Each Hypno Sound Bath combines guided hypnosis, therapeutic sound, deep relaxation and silence, with a different therapeutic focus such as overthinking, balance, confidence, letting go or trusting yourself. These sessions are also for people who may not be looking for therapy but recognise that life rarely gives them the opportunity to properly stop. They offer time to step away from everyday demands, deeply relax and practise skills that can support nervous system regulation and everyday wellbeing. The Nest Hypnotherapy is based in Frieth, near Henley-on-Thames, Marlow and High Wycombe, offering Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy, Sound Therapy and Hypno Sound Baths.
