EMDR therapist working with trauma and anxiety disorders
The efficacy of hypnotherapy and EMDR therapy is well documented, and the same goes for psychotherapy and the techniques I incorporate! A careful and structured combination of the two can be a very powerful tool!
Thank you for visiting my website, I hope you will enjoy reading up on hypnotherapy and psychotherapy and how the two combined may help you to overcome your problems.
We all suffer moments of emotional hardship at some point in our life. Life in general can be a real uphill struggle, but for some people, over a period of time, these difficulties become magnified. You may feel stuck in life or not know which way to turn.
I have helped many people throughout Warrington with their issues of anxiety, mood disorders, fears and phobias, emotional problems, smoking and weight loss, even if you aren’t local to Warrington, you will find that it is quite close to Liverpool and Manchester and I regularly help clients from these areas too.
You don’t have to stick to one style of therapy! I work flexibly with you using a wide range of modalities such as CBT, EMDR, Psychotherapy, Brainspotting, EFT, NLP, Ego state work.
I have additional training in:
Hypno-psychotherapy Level 7 Diploma with distinction
ADHD Clinical services provider (ADHD-CCSP)
EMDR (Fully certified) for help with PTSD, Trauma, and anxiety disorders
Brainspotting
Anxiety specialist training
It can be tough trying to make a decision to see someone for help, a lot of people put it off for months or even years before making that really important decision to tackle their problem. And I know that it can also be a little daunting to make that first contact, so please take your time and when you are ready just give me a call, I will be more than happy to chat with you over the phone to help you feel more relaxed and answer any of your questions.
I am a warm hearted and empathetic hypno-psychotherapist working from my consulting room in Warrington, Cheshire. My clients tell me that I have a natural ability to make people feel comfortable and relaxed which really helps with the process of talking through your problems. In fact, just talking through your problems with someone who completely understands, can be extremely therapeutic in itself. We don’t often open up in the same way to colleagues, friends or even family, so it is your time to get things off your chest and chat through all your expectations with someone who understands your problems.
I use an integrative approach to therapy, which means that I don’t just stick to one school of therapeutic intervention. I use CBT (cognitive Behavioural Therapy), NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), Hypnotherapy, MetaCognitive therapy, EMDR therapy, Brainspotting therapy, Gestalt and Ego state therapy. Everyone is different and will react to different styles of therapy, so it’s nice to have a number of strategies at hand s we can choose the best way to help you through your problems.

EMDR therapy in Warrington and Cheshire region.
What is EMDR therapy and how does it help? EMDR therapy, in a nutshell, is a type of therapy involving bilateral stimulation, usually involving moving the eyes back and forth whilst focusing on your symptoms and negative beliefs. It is primarily used for easing distressing events such as traumatic memories where a person may develop PTSD, or Post traumatic Stress Disorder. I am fully certified having completed the six day course.
EMDR has a wealth of research to back up its efficacy in helping people, not only with trauma but also helping people overcome anxiety disorders, alcohol and drug abuse and gambling. I have more information if you click this link for EMDR.
Brainspotting Therapy in Warrington and Cheshire
Brainspotting is a powerful, brain-based therapy that helps people access, process, and overcome trauma, anxiety, emotional pain, and performance blocks. It works by identifying specific eye positions—or “brainspots”—that correlate with the sources of distress held deep in the brain and body. By focusing on these brainspots while staying grounded in a safe therapeutic relationship, clients can process unresolved experiences at a neurological level, often without needing to relive them in detail.
If you’ve found that talking therapies alone haven’t reached the root of your struggles, Brainspotting may offer the deeper healing you’ve been looking for. Many people in Warrington and across Cheshire have found relief from long-standing issues such as PTSD, anxiety, chronic stress, and emotional overwhelm through this gentle yet effective approach.
As a qualified therapist offering Brainspotting in the Warrington and Cheshire region, I provide a calm, supportive environment where you can explore and release what’s holding you back. Whether you’re recovering from trauma or simply feeling stuck, Brainspotting can help you move forward with greater clarity, resilience, and emotional balance.
Which hypnotherapist / therapist is the right one for me?
Always call before you book an appointment. If you don’t want to call, then write an email to the therapist and ask them to answer any questions you may have about hypnosis. Make sure they have had suitable training and not just via the internet or over a few weekends. If you are placing your mental health in the hands of another person, you need to make sure they know about the conditions they say they can work with. Make sure they are registered with the CNHC (Complimentary and Natural Healthcare council), this register was set up via the Department of Health and is to recognise many therapies and the practitioners training and expertese. You may also prefer to see a male or a female hypnotherapist. So do some homework and find the one that fits you the best.
