My story
I feel grateful to live a fulfilled and happy life, but it wasn’t always this way. For years, I felt stuck. I had built a successful PR career in London, but I was burned out, lacking motivation and had lost my sense of purpose. Something had to change, but I didn’t know what.
After a decade in PR, I walked away with no plan and spent the next five years in a series of roles before landing on one I enjoyed and falling in love with work again. Then everything shifted when I became pregnant, discovered HypnoBirthing and experienced first-hand the power of connecting with the unconscious.
In my first year as a mother, I decided to retrain as a cognitive hypnotherapist. I still work in communications and PR alongside my practice, so I know what it’s like to look successful on paper and feel stuck in private, and I know that change is possible.
I believe the unconscious is the key to understanding why we do what we do. Thanks to neuroplasticity, we can learn, grow and rewire our brains with more helpful thoughts and behaviours.
Cognitive hypnotherapy has helped me overcome self-doubt, among many other things, which is why I believe that if we want it enough, with the right guidance, we all have the capacity to change.
Today, I see clients in person at Charterhouse Clinic in Marylebone and online worldwide. I work with successful women and men who feel stuck in their career, their relationships or the way they respond to pressure, and help them move forward.
Whenever you’re ready, I’d love to hear from you.

Why The Inner?
The name and mission behind The Inner were inspired by a key tenet of cognitive hypnotherapy: we all have an inner world, an unconscious mind that has created our problem. So, if your mind has created it, your mind can resolve it. I believe we all have everything we need within ourselves to heal. My role as your therapist is simply to help you reconnect with your inner wisdom and strength, so you can move past whatever has been keeping you stuck.
