My Story
I’ve been in practise for over 15 years in which time I’ve steadily invested in building a high level of skill to bring you the latest in modern approaches to deep personal change. I support business owners or executives who find their path to success blocked due to anxiety, stress or trauma or simply want to achieve more. I build on my own experience from many years in manufacturing so I know what it’s like to deal with myriad timescales and the day to day pressures of running a business.
During my training I’ve experienced several deep changes, especially one where I learned how I could directly influence my health. From my own changes I know how effective the kind of work I can do is. I want other business leaders and professionals to benefit at least as much. One technique in particular stands out called Control Room of the Mind. I teach this to many clients as a means of self empowerment. Over the years I’ve refined it to make it even more powerful and effective.
Over the years I have worked as a volunteer at the Maggie’s Centre in Dundee, supporting people with cancer and their carers, where I assisted patients overcome anxiety and related conditions.
Recently I also volunteered with Icarus, a charity devoted to assisting servicing members of HM Forces or veterans with ptsd or mental health concerns. I have also volunteered with Frontline 19, a charity devoted to assisting those in the medical profession or blue light services also dealing with trauma arising from Covid 19.
I am a member of the College of Medicine and also hold a Ph.D. from UMIST.

How I Work
In popular mythology hypnosis is where something is done to you and you are “put under”. So it’s not surprising that people can get alarmed about experiencing this. In practice though, it’s completely different.
I work in a collaborative way with you so there is no “putting under” involved. Everything that happens is under your control. For many of the techniques I use you will not close your eyes at all or only for very short periods, to allow you to focus more specifically on the changes you wish to bring about.
You are fully informed before we proceed with any technique so you know what to expect and have had the opportunity to ask any questions you need. Very often you will be learning how to use some of the skills for yourself so that you can look after yourself more effectively as you get on with your life again.
All of my sessions are deeply personalised, so you can be sure that you’ll get the support you need.
All sessions are via a secure zoom link.
