My Story

If you’ve spent years trying to lose weight, battling emotional eating, food cravings or binge eating, you know how frustrating it is to try diet after diet, only to find yourself back where you started. I do.

For much of my life, I struggled with my weight and my relationship with food. I tried  every diet known to man. I could be incredibly motivated, lose weight and feel like I was finally getting somewhere — only to find myself slipping back into old habits.

Food wasn't simply about hunger. Emotions, habits, cravings and the way I thought about food all played a part.

At my heaviest, I weighed 16 stone. I know first-hand how much of a battle it can become when you feel as though food is constantly on your mind, when you eat for reasons other than hunger, or when you feel disappointed in yourself after another attempt to change.

In my 40s, I discovered hypnotherapy — and for the first time, I began to understand that lasting change wasn't simply about having more willpower or following another diet.

Hypnosis helped me change the way I thought about food and, more importantly, my relationship with it. The difference wasn't just what happened on the scales. I began to feel more in control, more confident and more at peace around food. and that was EVERYTHING to me.

I've now lost over 4 stone through hypnosis, and my personal experience is the reason why I'm so passionate about helping other people reach their goals, find freedom from food noise and live their life to the full .

I first trained in hypnotherapy in 2011 and have continued my professional training and development ever since.

As my own experience had shown me just how powerful hypnotherapy could be when it came to changing habits and behaviours around food, I went on to undertake further specialist training in hypnotherapy for weight loss, including training in the Hypnotic Gastric Band approach.

Over the years, I've helped many people experiencing a range of challenges, including weight management, emotional eating, food cravings, binge eating, anxiety and confidence. More recently I have been helping people who have come off weight loss medication and have felt the hunger and old habits return.

My approach isn't about telling you what you should or shouldn't eat., It's about helping you change the thoughts, emotions, habits and behaviours that are keeping you stuck — and helping you create a healthier relationship with food and yourself.

I know how easy it is to lose confidence when you've struggled with your weight for years.

You may have tried countless diets. You may have started over more times than you can remember. Perhaps you've reached your goal weight before, only to regain it. Or maybe you're simply tired of food taking up so much space in your thoughts. I understand that feeling. That's why my goal isn't simply to help you lose weight. I want to help you make lasting changes that fit into your real life. I want you to be able to enjoy food without constantly feeling guilty. To recognise the difference between physical hunger and emotional eating. To not be controlled by cravings. To make healthier choices without feeling that you're constantly "on a diet". And, ultimately, to feel more confident and comfortable in yourself.

I believe hypnotherapy works best when you feel comfortable, listened to and understood. Every person is different, which is why I take time to understand you — your relationship with food, your habits, your experiences and what you want to achieve.

If you've spent years feeling as though you've tried everything, I want you to know that change is possible. I bring experience and a genuine passion for helping you create positive change. I know the struggle. I know what it feels like to feel stuck. And I also know what it feels like when things finally begin to change.
