About Me

Let’s begin here

It is a great privilege to support people to manage fear, stress and anxiety.

I am an experienced Clinical Hypnotherapist with a lifelong personal interest in meditation, a rich performing arts history, and corporate experience in production and project management.

This multi-faceted experience has helped me hone my approach that informs and supports my work as a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist.

I’ve supported junior doctors suffering exam anxiety, law professionals struggling to manage stress, musicians struggling with nerves, and competing sports women and men looking to improve their performance.

I’m currently expanding my understanding of stress management and progressing towards certification in Stress Management and Resilience Building through the UK College of Hypnosis & Hypnotherapy.

I have also recently completed a CPD in Understanding ADHD: Current Research and Practice at Kings College London.

I fell relaxed and more confident and I don’t experience the periods of high stress that I used to. I’ve learnt some techniques for managing and conquering my fears, a permanent lifestyle change and not a temporary quick fix. Thanks to Annette, I have my anxiety under control for the first time.

Although I spent most of my life in London, I’ve been based in Bristol for the past 18 years and frequently travel between the two cities. I’m also committed to supporting Bristol Food Banks, The National Trust, and Surfers Against Sewage. Let’s begin here My personal journey is one of transformation: the motivation behind my vocation and the positive change I seek to inspire in others. Overcoming adversity from trauma and personal obstacles as well as learning self-awareness enabled me to build resilience, improve my quality of life and my ability to cope with problems.  After ten years of experience working in private and public sector roles, I continued to explore the mind and body in greater depth, both through academic study and personal practice, later qualifying as a Clinical Hypnotherapist. I appreciate both the challenges and joys of creative expression. As a classically trained violinist with a BA (Hons) in the Arts, I’ve also had the privilege of performing and co-writing content for broadcast. I enjoy sitcoms like Parks and Recreation, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Frasier. When it comes to podcasts, well, it’s a close call between Made in AI, Pod Save the World and The Rest Is History.
