‘Whether it’s alcohol, sugar or vaping – I believe everyone can overcome addiction using hypnotherapy once you can admit you have a problem’

I developed an interest in hypnotherapy at an early age, as I liked it when we started doing 10 minutes of meditation at school when I was 11. Then I progressed to studying psychology and sociology at university. I stopped smoking when I was 20, when I was training in hypnosis and practising it.

I would say to myself, ‘My legs are heavy, my hands are light, I feel more confident’, which are powerful suggestions if used in the context of a hypnotherapy session..
