About Kate

"The brain is an amazing thing and when you understand yours better,  the change you desire happens more easily."

Like you, I was once looking for help some years ago. Having successfully experienced  Personal Change through hypnosis, I went on to train in a number of therapies myself.

Since then I've become a fully accredited and insured Emotional-Physical Wellbeing and Pain release Practitioner, Professional Hypnotherapist,  NLP Therapist and EMDR Practitioner.

I have many years of Nursing experience to support my caring and holistic approach to therapy.

Because of my nursing and clinical background, I like to share with you the science behind what I do and how it works. The brain is an amazing thing and when you understand yours better, the change you desire happens more easily.

Clients say they find me friendly, welcoming and flexible and the sessions inspiring and motivating. They also enjoy the bespoke audio recording I create for them that supports the work we do in between sessions. Most of my work comes from referrals from clients who have had successful outcomes. You can see what my clients have said about working with me by viewing my Google Reviews.

Although based in the West Country (Exeter/Torbay area), I work internationally and online with both children and adults offering you a personal solution-focused experience. This allows for powerful behaviour change so that you achieve the goals you want.

Many of my clients are employees and managers wanting to move forward for example to gain a promotion. They need support with clarity, confidence, and self-esteem. Some are held back by anxiety or physical issues such as pain. They need to let go of the negative emotions, the physical pain, the emotional trauma. I empower them to move on from this.

As a SleepTalk® consultant I can offer you help with this long-established programme for children. SleepTalk® is a process for children with difficulties and children with none. It's about developing a child's emotional resilience. It has been successful in resolving issues such as ADHD, bedwetting, poor concentration, sibling rivalry, and much more sometimes in as little as a few days and has been used effectively by thousands of families around the world over the last 40 years.

Stress and anxiety are normal and necessary in our lives, it's how we deal with them and how we let them affect us, whether they become overwhelming that makes the difference. During your time with me, I explain what's happening from a neurobiological perspective (just having some basic information really helps the client), and give you tools to help you right away. We also incorporate hypnosis and other practices to give you long-lasting results.

I'm passionate about helping you create positive change. My own personal growth through learning and experiencing other therapies means I can really empathise with you and work with you on your journey.

My long career as a Primary Care Nurse means I can also really understand your health issues such as obesity, anxiety, asthma, diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease as well as many other conditions.

My aim is to continually be delivering a professional, confidential, high value, client-focused service.

I have also united with other professionals such as Coach and Trainer Partner member for Momentum South West

I have volunteered as a helper at CADS KIDZ, a local youth drama group for  5 - 12-year-olds, and for H.O.P.E ( Helping People To Overcome Problems Effectively), support for people with long-term health conditions, from Torbay CCG.
