About New Start Therapy
Person-centred Counselling and Hypnotherapy
Have you ever felt afraid, alone, ashamed, or just want to be able to let things go? Do you over think, feel overwhelmed, stressed, worn out, or stuck? Then New Start Therapy can help. Contacting a stranger to talk about your personal and private issues can make anyone feel vulnerable and anxious, but I will show you complete respect from your first contact with me.
​
As I practice as both a counsellor and hypnotherapist, I believe it is important that I offer a safe space for you to feel heard and valued, without fear of judgement.
Whichever therapy you feel you would benefit from, whatever approach you want to take, I can offer you an insight into yourself as you gain a better understanding of who you are and move forwards towards a New Start.
​
I practiced as a person-centred counsellor for several years before training as a clinical hypnotherapist, and I am very passionate about both aspects of my role. I want to help people in any way that I can, by being caring and empathetic to any struggles you may be facing or changes you want to make. You will find my kind and understanding nature very welcoming and this will help us as we work together within whichever therapeutic approach suits your needs.
​
If you are unsure which approach would be best for you, I am always happy to discuss this with you. It is also possible to take a holistic approach in some cases.
I can help you with relationship issues, bereavement, work or home-life stresses, addictions, depression, anxiety, confidence, self-esteem, and a range of other concerns that you may have.
Qualifications
I have a level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, which I obtained following a level 3 certificate in Counselling Skills and a level 2 certificate in Counselling Concepts.
Alongside this I have a Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy.
I also have a level 2 certificate in Awareness of Mental Health Problems and a level 2 certificate in Understanding Children and Young People's Mental Health.
I have completed additional training courses in Solution Focused Brief Therapy, CBT, and Mindfulness.
I have also completed additional training enabling me to carry out the Rewind Technique which is very useful in helping with PTSD.
I regularly attend continued professional development courses to keep my skills and knowledge up to date.
"I am not what has happened to me. I am what I choose to become."

Mental health is just as important as physical health, yet we often ignore it until we feel we're at breaking point. Everyone faces mental health struggles or challenges at some point in their life, and it is important to seek support when this happens. So please contact me if you believe I can be of any help.
