The Journey
I've worked as a GP, supporting people through everything from physical illness to emotional crises. That experience gave me a deep understanding of the human body and mind, and how vital medical science is in saving lives and managing disease.
But it also taught me something important: many people were surviving, not thriving. Medications were often treating symptoms of something deeper—stress, trauma, burnout, and disconnection.
Traditional medicine, as powerful as it is, often doesn’t address those deeper layers.
This inspired me to explore advanced therapeutic approaches that treat the whole person. I trained as a Clinical Hypnotherapist, NLP Practitioner, Lifestyle Medicine Physician, and Trauma-Informed Coach. I learned how the mind, body, and nervous system hold on to stress and trauma—and how, with the right tools, they can release it.
Today, I combine my medical background with trauma-informed work, nervous system regulation, meditation, breathwork, NLP, and hypnotherapy to create an approach that works on every level—physical, mental, emotional, and even spiritual.
Why my Approach Works
I don’t just focus on easing symptoms or teaching you how to cope. Coping might get you through the day, but it doesn’t create freedom. My approach works deeper, addressing the patterns and drivers behind how you think, feel, and react—so change becomes natural, lasting, and empowering.
Get to the root of what’s holding you back We uncover stress you’ve normalised, limiting beliefs you’ve carried for years, unresolved trauma, and ingrained patterns of overthinking or people-pleasing—transforming the problem at its source.
Rewire your subconscious mind Using techniques like hypnotherapy and NLP, we work directly with the subconscious—where habits and self-beliefs live—so new behaviours and perspectives feel effortless rather than forced.
Regulate your nervous system Stress and trauma don’t just live in the mind—they’re stored in the body. Tools for nervous system regulation, meditation, and breathwork help shift you from fight-or-flight into calm and clarity, even under pressure.
Restore balance across life True change is about reclaiming all areas of life: relationships, health, energy, confidence, and self-worth. You’ll rebuild boundaries, rediscover meaning, and feel aligned in who you are and how you live.
This isn’t about quick fixes or temporary motivation. It’s a powerful reset when you’re ready to step out of survival mode and into a life you’re proud to live—calm, clear, and fully yourself.
Why I do this work
I do this work because I’ve seen what happens when people give everything to their careers, families, and responsibilities—but leave nothing for themselves. I’ve sat with patients and clients who were outwardly successful yet inwardly exhausted, living on autopilot, surviving day to day without joy or clarity.
I understand how easy it is to push pain down, to keep going while quietly carrying stress, self-doubt, and even old wounds that never truly healed. And I know how heavy that feels because, like so many, I’ve witnessed firsthand how it affects not only your health but your sense of who you are.
I believe no one should have to live that way—stuck in cycles of burnout, anxiety, or patterns that don’t reflect who they truly are. I know change is possible, not because it’s something I’ve read about, but because I’ve walked people through it. I’ve seen transformations that go beyond just feeling “better”—people rediscovering themselves, healing at the root, and stepping into lives they once thought were out of reach.
This work is deeply personal to me. It’s about giving people back their power, their peace, and their permission to live fully—not just to cope, but to thrive. Because when you heal what’s underneath, everything changes—how you show up at work, in relationships, and most importantly, how you feel about yourself.
My Own Journey
Why can I be so confident that this approach works?
On my journey developing the skills to help others, I have experienced first-hand the power of the techniques and processes that I have learned. I have been on a journey to empower my own wellbeing, optimise my health and live the best life I can for myself and my family.
Whilst I was learning coaching techniques and NLP, I discovered that I had developed self-sabotaging patterns. I had never realised it until I was being coached myself, but then it became so clear: whenever I started to create something positive, I would find a way to stop myself! I had a fear of becoming successful because of a limiting belief I had about not being good enough. Working with my coach I was able to shift my perspectives to see how this was having such a negative impact on me and then created goals and actions to challenge those thought processes. Now those limiting beliefs are no longer there!
I had problem with my body image, because as a child I was overweight and bullied for it at school. Consequently, I developed bad eating habits and a difficult relationship with food. Again it was only through coaching did I discover my behaviours were linked to these issues that I had as a child. I then went through the same clinical hypnotherapy techniques that I use now and the transformation was phenomenal! Within 2 sessions, those beliefs that were so ingrained in me about food and my body image had gone. The mental and emotional strain had lifted!
