Qualifications
For nearly twenty years I have worked with people experiencing anxiety, trauma responses, fears, addictive patterns, chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation.
My background combines clinical hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, transpersonal psychology, counselling-informed practice, authentic relating and conscious connected breathwork.
Alongside formal qualifications, my work has been shaped by years of listening deeply to people’s experiences and understanding how the mind, body and nervous system respond to modern life.
I am registered with the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) and hold qualifications in clinical hypnosis with psychotherapy, transpersonal psychology, authentic relating and I am a breath work practitioner.
Some trainings leave a lasting impact on the way you understand people and human experience. My Spiritual Leadership and Firewalk Instructor training with Sundoor, the School of Transpersonal Education and Peggy Dylan was one of those experiences.
More recently, I completed Breathwork Practitioner Training through Spiritdance: Holy Water & Sacred Breath, exploring conscious connected breathwork approaches influenced by rebirthing traditions and expanded-state therapeutic work. This training deepened my understanding of the relationship between breath, emotional processing, nervous system regulation and altered states of consciousness.
I have also trained in Authentic Relating with ART International, exploring approaches to communication, emotional honesty and relational awareness that continue to influence the way I work therapeutically.
Clinical Hypnosis with Psychotherapy
- Diploma in Clinical Hypnosis with Psychotherapy from the Essex Institute of Clinical Hypnosis (DHP)
The Professional Practitioner Hypnotherapy Training Course is a fully professional training, and therefore complies with — or even surpasses the National Core Curriculum for Hypnotherapy Training Schools, on which the National Occupation Standards for Hypnotherapy is based. Principal of the Essex Institute, Terence Watts, devised the course after many thousands of hours of successful work with hypnosis, hypnotherapy, and psychotherapy; as a result. He grounds the training in both experience and practical application.
MSc Consciousness, Spirituality and Transpersonal Psychology
- Masters Degree in Consciousness, Spirituality and Transpersonal Psychology from Middlesex University & Professional Development International
An intellectually-stimulating and practice-oriented programme of study. Focusing on diverse topics related to the nature of consciousness, the dynamics between psyche and soma, the psychology of self and higher states of being, and the psychological basis of spiritual and mystical practices. Exploration of integrative practice, transpersonal approaches to research, empirical research methods, and practical applications of learning in the world.
A rigorous curriculum to develop masters level proficiency in Consciousness, Spirituality & Transpersonal Psychology while also cultivating multiple ways of knowing, supporting and incorporating insights from the programme into my own life journey.
Breathwork Practitioner Training
- Breath Work Practitioner from Sundoor School of Transpersonal Education
I completed Breathwork Practitioner Training through Spiritdance: Holy Water & Sacred Breath, an experiential training influenced by conscious connected breathwork, rebirthing traditions, transpersonal psychology, and expanded-state therapeutic work.
The training was facilitated within the wider field of Sundoor’s transpersonal education work, founded by Peggy Dylan, whose teaching has influenced experiential and transformational training internationally for decades.
The programme explored the relationship between breath, emotional processing, nervous system regulation, body awareness, and altered states of consciousness. It focused on grounded facilitation, therapeutic presence, safety, integration, and the creation of supported spaces for inner exploration.
This work continues to influence the way I approach therapeutic change, helping people develop greater awareness of the connection between breath, body, emotions, and patterns held beneath conscious thought.
Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma
- Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma from the National Council for Hypnotherapy
The HPD is accredited by NCFE as having measurable learning outcomes that have been benchmarked at Level 4 (using Ofqual’s Qualification and Credit Framework [QCF] level descriptors).
NCFE is recognised as an Awarding Organisation by the qualification regulators for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Firewalk Instructor Certification & Spiritual Leadership Training
I’m certified as a Firewalk Instructor and Spiritual Leadership Guide through SUNDOOR, founded by Peggy Dylan, the originator of firewalking in the West. Of all the trainings I’ve undertaken, this one brought everything together. The academic foundations from my master’s degree in Transpersonal Psychology, the deep listening I practise with clients, and the embodied wisdom I’ve developed through somatic and therapeutic work.
This was more than learning to guide firewalks, arrow breaks, and rebar bends. It was a profound initiation into holding transformational space. It showed me how to lead others through fear and into clarity, to awaken courage not by force, but by invitation.
This training helped me step more fully into the leader, facilitator and guide I’ve been becoming for years. It left a permanent imprint on my work – and on me.
Authentic Relating Level 2: Advanced
-
I have Level 1 and Level 2 certifications in Authentic Relating from ART International.
The Level 2 Advanced Training helped me deepen my understanding of relational patterns and expand my ability to create meaningful connections. This training focused on integrating all parts of the self, including shadow aspects, allowing for greater self-awareness, emotional resilience, and relational depth.
Through nervous system training, somatic tools, and advanced communication skills, I have the ability to navigate relational tensions, attune to underlying dynamics, and foster deeper, more authentic connections. This qualification equips me with the skills to hold space for transformation, embrace vulnerability, and support thriving relationships in both personal and professional settings.

My therapist journey over neary twenty years has taught me that true knowledge isn’t about the letters after my name or the timeline of my academic pursuits. It’s about the stories shared, the moments of vulnerability, and the human connection that transforms both you and me. It’s holding space, listening intently, and noticing the patterns within your words and emotions.
Together, we can navigate the complexities of life, embracing both the shadow and the light. So, if you’re seeking more than just a quick fix, and ready to make lasting changes, you’re in the right place. Let’s embark on this journey together. Read more about my approach here.
