Rapid relief from anxiety,
trauma & phobias

Why clients from
Saffron Walden
choose this approach
If you've already tried counselling or CBT and felt like something wasn't shifting, that's often because those approaches work at the level of conscious thought.
The emotional reactions that drive anxiety, trauma and phobias are held deeper — in the subconscious mind. Using Hypnotherapy, IEMT and the BLAST Technique, I help people release the emotional charge attached to difficult experiences quickly, gently, and without needing to go through every painful detail.
Using Hypnotherapy, IEMT and the BLAST Technique, I work directly at that deeper level. We can often achieve in two to four sessions what might take months of conventional therapy — and without having to re-live painful memories in detail.
The change feels fast, gentle and lasting — and many clients are surprised by how quickly it happens.
Issues I specialise in
I work with adults and children across Haverhill and the surrounding area on a wide range of emotional and psychological issues.
Four techniques.
One integrated approach.
My practice combines four distinct, evidence-informed modalities for faster, deeper results than any single technique alone.
Uses guided eye movements to rapidly neutralise the emotional charge attached to distressing memories and deeply held identity patterns ("I am…" statements).
A bilateral stimulation approach specifically designed for trauma and PTSD. Fast, gentle, non-retraumatising — and deeply effective for complex or long-standing trauma.
Guided deep-state work that reprograms beliefs and emotional responses held in the subconscious mind — the root of most anxiety and fear responses.
The Bunny Talks Process
I offer therapeutic services designed specifically for children in North Essex and South Suffolk. Using the Bunny Talks Process — a gentle, play-based framework — I help children from age five work through fears, anxieties and emotional difficulties safely, without adult-style therapy that can feel pressuring or clinical. If your child is struggling, please get in touch.
If your child is struggling and you're not sure where to turn, please get in touch for a free conversation.

FAQs — Hypnotherapy
near Saffron Walden
Do I need to go into detail about my trauma?
No. My sessions are largely content-free — meaning you don't need to share full details of what happened. The techniques work with how the memory feels, not the story of it. This makes the process much gentler than conventional trauma therapy.
How many sessions will I need?
Most issues resolve in two to four sessions. We'll discuss this during your free consultation based on what you're working through.
Do you offer online sessions?
Yes. Online sessions are just as effective and available to clients anywhere in the UK. Many clients from outside Haverhill choose to work with me online.
Do you work with children near Saffron Walden?
Yes. I offer therapeutic services designed specifically for children near Saffron Walden, using the gentle Bunny Talks Process, for ages five and above.
Is hypnotherapy safe?
Completely. You remain in full control throughout every session. There is no loss of consciousness and nothing is done without your full awareness and consent.
What is IEMT?
IEMT (Integral Eye Movement Therapy) uses guided eye movements to rapidly neutralise the emotional charge attached to distressing memories and deeply held identity patterns — the "I am…" statements that shape how we see ourselves. Many clients find it faster and gentler than EMDR.
What is the BLAST Technique?
BLAST (Bi-Lateral Analysis and Stimulation Treatment) is a fast, evidence-informed approach for trauma, PTSD and deeply held emotional patterns. It works by processing difficult memories bilaterally — similar in principle to EMDR but typically faster.
