ABOUT ME

My exploration of the mind began with animals. As a professional in animal behaviour and training, grasping the motivations, capabilities, and adaptability of the brain turned into a lifelong pursuit...

My enduring interest in the science and theory of psychology, along with its practical implementation, has expanded into my work with animal behaviour and training. On a personal level, life's unforeseen events have led me to seek professional support to address my questions and to deepen my understanding of the human mind and behaviour.

My professional work in animal behaviour has deepened my pursuit of understanding the mind and its motivations, as I've observed the complex and often mutualistic relationships between animals and their owners. Often, it was the human element of these relationships that required my intervention. Effectively resolving behavioural problems in pets and horses depended on the owner's readiness to accept change, improve their comprehension, and participate in introspection.

Having completed my Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy (DCH), I am now engaged in working with clients using solution-focused Hypnotherapy.  My passion lies in aiding them to gain a better understanding of their emotions and belief systems, to overcome past traumas, and to establish new, healthier patterns of behaviour with an enhanced understanding and awareness of their own psyche.

As a qualified clinical hypnotherapist, I am furthering my education through my Masters degree in Psychology at university, aspiring to specialise in sports and exercise psychology. This academic pursuit enhances my practical work, enriching my approach to client care.
