First the formal stuff...

I qualified with The Quest Institute in 2006 and hold:

• NLP MPrac (Master Practitioner of Neuro Linguistic Programming)
• Dip.C.Hyp - (Diploma in Cognitive Hypnotherapy)
• HPD - Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma (following formal assessment by the National Council for Hypnotherapy). This is the only independently accredited, professional standard qualification in Hypnotherapy in the U.K.

MNCH(Lic) - Member of the National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH) The NCH are my accrediting organisation and as such I am bound by their comprehensive Code of Ethics and am required to hold Public Liability and Professional Indemnity insurance.

And about me...

It was in my role as a Mechanical Engineer that I personally experienced anxiety and depression. I responded well to medication but when I came off I would soon find myself going back into decline, a cycle which was to be repeated several times.

I came to understand that I needed to find a way of getting control of my life again, to find a way of breaking the cycle and making medication redundant. I'd always been curious about hypnotherapy and decided to look into it further to see if it really could help, and after some investigation I enrolled with The Quest Institute. I soon realised that my training would not only help me to get myself back to normal but that I'd also be in a position to help others who were suffering as I had.

Immediately after qualifying I set up and practiced in Chalfont St Giles until late 2009 when I moved down the road to Amersham where I have a comfortable and private therapy room.
