My Background

I was brought up in rural Scotland, and now reside here again.

However, in between I have had the opportunity to live in many parts of England and Wales whilst following my paths in life. I have a wealth of life experiences, which, as well as being a wife and mother, includes:

• HND in Agriculture, and working with dairy cows, and sheep.

• Qualified Personal Trainer, trained in fitness to music and circuit training. 

• Competitive horse riding in many disciplines including affiliated and unaffiliated Eventing, Show Jumping and Dressage.

• Aviation, twenty-five years as a Commercial Airline Pilot.

....quite diverse ;)

​

Like everyone, my life has had its many ups and downs, (no pun intended!) and have faced many challenges.

However, no matter what life threw at me, I found a way to resolve and move on.

This is not to say, though, that I always found this easy or that I always did the right thing or made the right decision. Much of it was trial and error whilst learning to take responsibility for the path taken - good or not so good! 

​

There were many times when I felt overwhelmed and wished that I could understand why I reacted and felt the way I did in certain situations, and why similar adverse patterns seem to continually repeat themselves in my life. I decided I needed to find out why, to understand myself better, and to change these recurring patterns and reactions.

This is when I first discovered the immense power of hypnosis. Although a little sceptical to begin with, I kept an open mind. I went through a treatment plan with a registered Hypnotherapist and the difference in my ability to cope better when under pressure thrilled me!

​

Observing and listening for many years to friends, family, colleagues, and people from all walks of life, has given me a strong desire to help them to find ways to resolve their problems, reach their goals, and help to make them feel better in any way I can. For this reason I decided to become a qualified Hypnotherapist. I chose to study through the UK College of Hypnosis & Hypnotherapy because it offered a unique evidence-based form of hypnotherapy they call:

 Hypno-CBT®...or Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (CBH)

​

I am also qualified in Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT)
