With 30 years of experience as a midwife, I’ve been honoured to build a versatile and extremely satisfying career. For four days a week I work as a Consultant Midwife in public health in the NHS and am deeply committed to enhancing family well-being. My work centres on ensuring families are connected to the highest quality support systems, promoting their emotional and physical health, and giving their children the best possible start in life.
Many of the families I’ve worked with have had complex social situations and I’ve witnessed first hand how complex circumstances can profoundly affect parents and children.
Drawing on this insight, I bring deep empathy, clear understanding, and unwavering dedication to my hypnotherapy practice—ensuring each family receives compassionate, tailored care.
My master’s research explored Adverse Childhood Experiences and their profound effects on emotional, social, and physical health across the lifespan. I discovered that with the right early intervention and support, many long-term negative outcomes can be significantly reduced—promoting resilience and lifelong well‑being
Healing Birth Trauma: The Rewind Technique
Over several years, I have witnessed the profound, positive impact of the Rewind Technique in helping mothers overcome birth trauma. Usually needing only 3 sessions it allows individuals to process traumatic memories safely and rapidly, without being retraumatized. This technique is also incredibly effective for individuals affected by many other phobias, traumas and PTSD.
Integrating Solution-Focused Therapy
I practice clinical hypnotherapy and psychotherapy using a technique called Solution-Focused Brief Therapy –a strengths-based, goal-oriented approach that empowers individuals by focusing on solutions rather than problems. This is evidence-based and effective across a wide range of issues, including trauma and mental health challenges
I undertook my professional training and received my Diploma from the renowned Clifton Practice, integrating these principles with hypnotherapy which enables me to offer a comprehensive, holistic approach.
A Holistic & Sensitive Approach
Combining my clinical experience as a midwife, my research insights, and certified hypnotherapy training, I provide:
-
A trauma-informed framework addressing ACEs and perinatal trauma
-
Solution-focused strategies that foster resilience and hope
-
Hypnotherapy interventions that encourage relaxation, reduce anxiety bring about emotional healing, and increase confidence
I am continually inspired by the transformative results this integrated method brings to my clients.
