Training, qualifications & experience
My practice is located at Puddle Farm, Lanlivery, between Lostwithiel and Bodmin, which is convenient for most of Mid, East and North Cornwall. Here I provide Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, to help you feel calm, confident and achieve what you want. My approach combines neuroscience with deep relaxation techniques and I work with both adults and children.
As well as working at my practice, I also offer online sessions via Zoom, Teams or FaceTime, and by telephone. I also offer sessions and workshops for patients referred via social prescribing.
I have a long background working to help people develop to the best of their abilities in both their professional and personal lives. In the 1990s I founded The Talent Foundation to help people achieve their potential in the workplace as well as volunteering as a Samaritan. I later became heavily involved with the Chartered Management Institute (the UK’s only chartered professional body for management and leadership) where I became Chairman of the South-West Region and was elected to become a Trustee of their main board. I was also a school governor at Truro School and Chair of governors at Roselyon Preparatory School in Par for six years.
I first trained in the use of hypnosis in my twenties, to manage my own hypertension, and it really worked well. After a career in business I retrained in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy with the Clifton Practice Hypnotherapy Training in Bristol, where I qualified for his Diploma in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (DSFH) and the Hypnotherapy in Practice Diploma (HPD) awarded by the National Council for Hypnotherapy, the largest Hypnotherapy Association in the UK.
I have lived in Tregrehan, Cornwall for almost 30 years and am married with two teenage children.
