I am so pleased to meet you and I want to say thanks for visiting my website.  You are probably here because you feel that nobody else understands Misophonia or the pain you are in (or you may be here on behalf of someone else).

WHY I SPECIALISE IN MISOPHONIA

​

I'm a Clinical Hypnotherapist/psychotherapist with a special interest in working with Misophonia and extreme sound sensitivity.  I believe there is a lot of unmet need and the people I work with often found that not many therapists have heard of the condition.   I have worked successfully with many adults and children, enabling them to live more peacefully in their own homes, spend time with loved ones and find a way to live without fear of being triggered.

​

In my work with Misophonia, I am always guided by you - it is a complex condition that requires a 'holistic' approach meaning that I look at you as a whole person rather than just the symptom.  I tailor my 5-session programme (Taming the tiger) to you as an individual rather than adopting a one size fits all approach.  It's important to note that I do not claim to "cure" misophonia.  Instead, I work with your nervous system to help it respond to the trigger sounds in a calmer way.  There may be an underlying reason why your nervous system is so reactive, and together we can work to uncover some of these deeper emotional "drivers".  Many people I work with have noticed a difference.  Even small changes can create freedom from the misery of being controlled by this frustrating condition.

​

MY PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND

​

I have a professional background in working with Misophonia, anxiety and trauma, particularly in those who have ADHD, PTSD and OCD.  I hold a Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma (HPD) and a Diploma in Solution-focused Hypnotherapy (DFSH) I have two degrees including a Bachelor of Science and a Post-graduate diploma both obtained from the prestigious University of Bristol.  

​

In addition to my formal qualifications, I have undertaken a wide range of professional post-graduate training in my years of practice which include  a Certificate in Trauma-informed coaching, CBT techniques, Advanced Conversational Hypnosis (ACH), Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP).  In terms of the breadth of my training, I have undertaken formal training in the neuroscience of ADHD, OCD, Working with Children, Trauma/PTSD and Mindfulness.  I am fully "trauma informed", meaning that I practice in a calm, ethical and client-centred way.  I use techniques that are safe, effective and backed by research.

​
