For over 20 years I have worked successfully as a counsellor and hypnotherapist based in Hertfordshire working with clients from Herts, Beds, Bucks, Essex and North London.
During this time I have seen thousands of people who have experienced amazing changes to their lives.
It is surprisingly easy to change your life, to be happy and in control of your own life. Within a very short period of time you can alter your habits of behaviour and create the lifestyle you desire.
I have worked with a wide range of problems, although every person is unique so no two clients are ever the same. I use an unique combination of hypnotherapy, counselling & CBT to effect change. Qualifications & Training I am an accredited member of the National Council for Hypnotherapy, the Counselling & Psychotherapy Society, a member of the College of Advanced Hypnotherapy, an accredited supervisor and member of the Hypnotherapy Society, a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Experience Since 1990 I have been working with clients who present with a wide range of problems, relationship issues, bereavement, post-traumatic stress, work related problems, phobias, anxiety, depression, etc. Most of these clients I see for short term therapy, i.e. 10 - 20 sessions. A small number of clients are receiving outpatient psychiatric treatment; these clients I see over a longer period. I also see clients with alcohol related issues, and to a much lesser extent other drug related problems. In addition to my private practice I have many years experience working as a counsellor and hypnotherapist with members of the legal profession, as well as with large UK companies and government bodies.
Alongside my private practice I also worked for a few years with Hertfordshire Social Services with young people in care. In 1992 I completed my training in drug and alcohol counselling and worked one day a week for a drug and alcohol agency. This involved one to one work with clients, many of whom were poly-addictive. Another element of my work was to support parents of teenage or adult users. I also helped people to withdraw from prescription medication. Alongside the counselling I ran group relaxation sessions. For three years I served as a member of the Executive Management Committee for DrugCare St Albans.
Since 1998 I have counselled lawyers experiencing stress related problems, also those with alcohol problems, some of these are referred through LawCare. I have also been employed as a Drug and Alcohol Consultant for a large Employee Assistance Programme (PPC UK Ltd).
I have worked as a trainer on Drink Drive Courses set up by the Department of the Environment, as well as working as a consultant for an alcohol advisory service and as a trainer on a drink/drive programme for Bedfordshire Probation Services.Fees £55.00 per session.
