View Hypnotherapy is a private practice situated in the village of Stevington near Bedford and Milton Keynes.
Research has shown using Hypnosis integrated with the latest psychotherapies such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and talking therapies can be a more effective and gentle way to overcome anxiety disorders.

Approach to Counselling & How I Work

My approach is one of compassionate therapy where we can work together to identify past unhelpful beliefs where unconscious biases may interfere with living a healthy well rounded life.
I offer hypnotherapy and counselling from an integrative approach tailored to your needs within a safe and confidential place to overcome difficult emotional issues.

I specialise in treating depression and anxiety disorders which underpin many stress related conditions including any past or present trauma which you may not have fully understood or recovered from. Alternatively you may even want the sessions for counselling to unravel and off-load confusing day to day conflicts or irritations where you feel stuck and frustrated with life. I will offer you respect and sensitivity to your issue where confidentiality is upmost.

I am a full member of the British Society of Clinical Hypnosis and the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) and a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy.
I follow the ethics laid down by the BSCH/BACP and have full professional indemnity insurance, along with an enhanced DBS certificate allowing me to work with children and vulnerable adults. I meet all regulations as required from my professional bodies relating to Continued professional development.
