About Me
Welcome. I’m Michelle.
After 25 years in financial services and close insight into the creative industries, I know first hand how the pace and demands of modern life can wear us down over time.
For me, it showed up as anxiety, overthinking, and a constant cycle of self doubt. I would over prepare, replay my performance in a negative light, and spend weekends worrying about the week ahead. The reality was that I was exhausting myself over things I couldn’t change and, because the brain doesn’t distinguish between imagination and reality, those thoughts felt just as real as lived experience. Over time, confidence faded, sleep became disrupted, and life began to feel like something I was getting through rather than enjoying.
That turning point led me to Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (SFH). I trained with Clifton Practice Hypnotherapy Training (CPHT), the UK’s leading provider of hypnotherapy education, and discovered an approach that is practical, gentle, and genuinely effective. What struck me most is how widely supportive SFH can be whether someone is dealing with stress, low mood, overthinking, past experiences that still feel present, or simply a sense of being stuck.
Today, I work with people from all walks of life: Professionals juggling multiple responsibilities, creatives managing emotional intensity, parents carrying invisible loads, young adults navigating pressure and uncertainty, and anyone who feels weighed down by their thoughts or emotions. Everyone’s situation is different, but I’ve seen how SFH can support people to reduce stress, improve focus, and access the clarity and confidence needed to perform at their best. My role is to create the conditions where positive change becomes possible, and to help clients make the most of the strengths and resources they already have.
My sessions offer a steady, structured space where you can make sense of what’s going on, build confidence, and move toward the version of yourself you want to be at a pace that feels right for you.
If any part of this feels familiar, you’re not alone. And you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.

Building Confidence

Performance Enhancement
Confidence isn’t something you’re born with or without, it’s something you can build. This is an area I am passionate about because people often assumed I was confident, yet behind the scenes I was wrestling with anxiety and a flood of negative thoughts. It showed me how powerful our inner dialogue can be, and how important it is to change it.
My approach helps you break free from self doubt and negative thinking. You’ll learn how to manage challenges with clarity, strengthen your resilience, and develop a mindset that supports progress and self assurance.

Improved Sleep
Struggling with insomnia or restless nights doesn’t have to be your reality. As part of my therapy, hypnosis and practical relaxation techniques can help you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake feeling more refreshed.
We’ll also work together to address any underlying issues that may be contributing to your sleep difficulties, giving you the tools to take back control of your nights and your days. Better sleep becomes a powerful outcome of this process, restoring energy, focus, and balance so you can move forward with confidence.

Improved Sleep
Many people carry the impact of past experiences long after the moment has passed. This can show up in different ways: feeling constantly on edge, reacting strongly to certain situations, struggling with sleep, or finding it hard to switch off from memories or sensations that feel 'too present.' These responses are the brain’s way of trying to protect us, even when they no longer feel helpful.
SFH focuses on how the brain works, what helps it feel calmer, and how to build new patterns that support confidence, resilience, and everyday wellbeing
