My story

I have lived with IBS since I was a small child. A few years ago, several stressful life events came along at once and I was really struggling. One day a colleague said to me, "Do you think you should see someone?" It got me thinking.

A friend recommended a local hypnotherapist, so I booked some sessions. I found them so relaxing, and I came away feeling calmer and more able to cope. That experience is what made me want to do this work. It was my experience and everyone's is different: if you have IBS or any other physical symptoms, please see your GP.

When I turned forty, I decided I wanted a career change. I heard an advert on the radio for hypnotherapy training, and that was my light bulb moment! I shopped around for the right course and found one in Manchester. I trained for a year, studying in the evenings and spending hours, and I mean hours, on my portfolio. In December 2017, I qualified as a solution focused hypnotherapist.

I absolutely love my job. It is so uplifting to see the positive changes people make in their lives. I enjoy working with people of any age, and together we can work towards a brighter future.
