Quest Cognitive Hypnotherapy is cutting-edge, evidence-based hypnotherapy / hypnosis for children (6+), teens and adults, a modern therapy framework tapping into the amazing power of your subconscious mind to help with a wide range of conditions. 

It's highly tailored, flexible, patient-centric approach seamlessly incorporates tools and techniques derived from a wide range of successful and proven therapies, including traditional hypnotherapy, Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP,) Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and counselling, Solution-Focused, Positive and Evolutionary Psychology, traditional Psychotherapy and others. 

I've been a practicing Cognitive Hypnotherapist since training with the Quest Institute in 2007, and have worked in both private practice and mainstream mental health during this time with thousands of clients aged from just 6 years old (including a number with autistic spectrum disorders) to over 80. I'm an accredited member of the National Council For Hypnotherapy (NCH), registered with the government-backed Complimentary & Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) and am fully CRB / DBS checked on a regular basis to work with children and young people. 

I have special interests in using Cognitive Hypnotherapy for Eating Disorders (particularly alongside the New Maudsely Approach pioneered by Jane Treasure, Grainne Smith and Anna Crane) to help treat anorexia, bulimia and binge eating, Cognitive Hypnotherapy for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), and working with children (from age 6) and teenagers on their issues as well as adults of all ages.

Phobias (fear of flying, fear of dentists etc) Addictions and habits Anxiety and panic attacks School issues (exam nerves, academic performance) Lack of confidence (fear of public speaking, shyness, social anxiety) Stress and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Depression Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Sports issues including optimising sports performance Life coaching Weight loss Cognitive Hypnotherapy to Stop Smoking Relationship counselling / issues and many other interesting areas.
