I have had the good fortune to enjoy several very different careers; A State Registered Nurse, BBC Journalist, and Clinical Hypnotherapist.


Mention the word hypnotism and people fear being turned into chickens. Hypnotists are expected to swing watches and stare deep into the eyes of their victims, bending their mind to whatever they demand. But the history of hypnosis dates back to the dawn of civilisation. The aborigines called it “dreamtime” and other cultures had their own names to explain the strange experience. Science has uncovered a better understanding of hypnotism and how blending it with special psychological techniques can create a therapeutic approach capable of achieving rapid changes for a wide variety of personal problems. Find out more about the history and mystery of hypnosis and the benefits of Hypnotherapy. You won’t have to look into my eyes, and nobody will cluck like a chicken!
