In May 2013 I taught a specialist module on EMDR at the University of the West of England, having run a very well received session the previous year too.

In April 2012 I did a presentation to two NHS teams on EMDR which was well received.
In April 2012 I completed a specialist hypnosis birthing course – I have enjoyed using these skills and knowledge to help women and their partners have a calm and positive birth experience.

In November 2011 I completed EMDR Level 2 training for children and adolescents. As far as I know, Mindscape is the only local business offering EMDR to the level and depth of training I have completed – please let me know if you know of anybody else, so I can make links!

I am now a member of the CNHC. The Department of Health recommends that if you are seeking complementary therapy, including hypnotherapy, you choose a therapist who is CNHC registered.
I completed my management training program within the NHS in July 2011… but have now happily returned to purely clinical practice, which is where my heart is, though it was good experience to have led a team too.
On 7th April 2011 I did a presentation at St Katherine’s School to the sixth form on hypnotherapy for exam nerves and study success. This was well received, and a great experience.

In October 2010, I completed the Level 1 Child and Adolescent EMDR training.

Please contact me if you would like to know more about natural weight loss without surgery! Hypno-Band (TM) is designed for people with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or above who overeat, but I will consider each situation individually, if your BMI is below 30 (but over 25!).
