Helping you reduce anxiety, stress, fears & phobias through Clinical Hypnotherapy. Belfast • Ballymoney • Garvagh • Online. Book your Initial Consultation today.

My work is guided by a simple purpose — to help people feel safe, calm, and empowered from within. After over 35 years in healthcare, including NHS and senior leadership roles, I followed my path into Solution-Focused Clinical Hypnotherapy, bringing together neuroscience, compassion, and intuition to support genuine change. I’m particularly passionate about helping people facing medical treatment, surgery, or radiotherapy, where mind-body tools can make a profound difference to comfort and wellbeing. Sessions available in Belfast, Lisburn, Garvagh, and online.

Different types of worry need different tools.
When your mind loops through many worries, the signal often comes from the body.
Calming the body calms the thoughts.
When you’re stuck on one specific worry, a cognitive strategy like scheduled worry time can contain it.
This is why online advice often feels hit-and-miss.
Personalised therapy works because we match the technique to your nervous system and your thinking style.

Anxiety doesn’t always start in the mind.
Often the body moves first — a quickened heartbeat, tight chest, shallow breath — and the brain misreads these signals as danger.
That’s why anxiety can seem to appear “out of nowhere.”
The fastest way to calm the mind is to calm the body.
Slow, steady breath work shifts the nervous system out of threat mode and signals to the brain that it is safe again.
Box breathing is one of the simplest ways to do this:
inhale for 4, hold for 4, exhale for 4, hold for 4.
The body leads the mind back to calm.

I was at Belfast Health and Social Care Trust today working with the radiotherapy team, sharing the same mind–body explanation I use with patients in the Macmillan pilot project.
One of the biggest questions staff ask is why two people can have the same radiotherapy mask but only one panics. It has nothing to do with strength or personality. It’s the brain’s alarm system — the amygdala — reacting automatically to loss of control, unfamiliar sensations, or medical environments.
When staff understand what’s happening in the brain, it becomes much easier to support patients with calm, compassion, and confidence. And when we use hypnotherapy to help patients regulate that alarm response, they can breathe more easily and complete treatment more comfortably.
It’s been incredibly valuable to share this work with the team today and to see how much it resonates. Understanding the fear changes everything.

When You’re Too Embarrassed to Ask for Help - Some fears and habits don’t come from weakness — they begin as protection.
Maybe it started in childhood, or after something difficult happened.
Over time, the brain learned to stay alert — even when the danger passed.
In this video, I explore why the emotional brain can get stuck in survival mode and how, through calm focus and understanding, we can teach it safety again.
Many people live quietly with issues that feel too personal to talk about:
• adult bladder urgency or bedwetting
• panic around swallowing or eating
• fear of vomiting, fainting, or medical procedures
• compulsive checking or reassurance-seeking
• night waking or bedtime dread
• health anxiety or body-focused worry
• avoidance of travel, social settings, or specific places
• intrusive thoughts or habits that feel “strange” or isolating
These aren’t character flaws.
They’re protective responses that never switched off.
Through solution-focused hypnotherapy and neuroscience-informed approaches, the brain can learn to stand down again — gently, safely, and permanently.

I was delighted to be invited to join the Radiography team at Belfast Trust for their World Radiography Day celebrations.
The event was full of warmth, connection, and purpose — a reflection of the care this team brings to patients every single day.
It’s a privilege to collaborate with the Radiotherapy Department, the Macmillan Cancer Support Service, and the wider Trust as part of our ongoing pilot exploring how hypnotherapy can support people through treatment.
Grateful for the opportunity to contribute quietly to a service that already gives so much.

Notice your thoughts, don’t fight them. Calm comes from observing, not controlling.
