About Me

Welcome!

I feel so passionate about helping others overcome the difficulties and obstacles that can stand in the way of our health and happiness.

My name is Lynn, and like most of you who are reading this, I have had my fair share of problems to deal with in life, and perhaps that is why I feel so passionate about helping others overcome the difficulties and obstacles that can stand in the way of our health and happiness.

Throughout my childhood I witnessed my mother battling with depression and I felt her despair at a medical system that that seemed to offer no insight into the faulty thought patterns that had predisposed her to this condition. Later on, whilst training to be a Registered nurse at St Bartholomew’s hospital in London, I again noticed that a patients treatment seemed to be focused on the diseased part, and no attention was given to the most important aspect of an individuals health and wellbeing; the thoughts, emotions and feelings that influence every aspect of our physiology, from our respiration rate, through to our ability to fight disease and ultimately, live our lives free from anxiety, fear and self loathing. I watched with curiosity the way some patients seemed to have a natural ability to maintain a positive outlook and see themselves as strong, healthy individuals. They required less medication and often recovered quickly, whereas other patients would be fearful, dwelling on their pain and helplessness. These individuals seemed to have a mindset that prolonged their recovery and sapped their energy.

I began to ask myself what made the difference to my patient’s ability to cope, and if there was a way to help everyone learn how to tap into this ability to think, feel and act in a way that encourages happiness, health and wellbeing. The answer I am pleased to say was a resounding ‘yes.’

I originally obtained a diploma in hypnotherapy in 1999, from the London College of Clinical Hypnotherapy, which was at the forefront of gaining medical recognition for the clinical use of hypnotherapy. I trained alongside Doctors and Dentists who understood how hypnotherapy could be incorporated into their daily work. I worked successfully as a hypnotherapist near my home in Brighton, before a change in my personal circumstances brought me to the beautiful village of Brent Knoll, where I now live with my husband.

Following a longer than intended break from my practice, I made the decision to bring my skills and knowledge up to date by retraining with Adam Eason the world renowned cutting edge therapist, trainer and author, whose energy and expertise have inspired me enormously. One of the reasons I chose to study with Adam is that his training school is one of the few that offer the Hypnotherapy Practitioners Diploma – this qualification was recently introduced as a National Diploma, designed to meet the National Occupational Standards for Hypnotherapy.

It is viewed to be the industry benchmark for professional hypnotherapists and is externally validated and accredited by the National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH). I also gained a practitioner diploma in NLP- Neuro-linguistic Programming, which taught me a range of very powerful techniques for helping to eradicate long-standing issues which have been having a negative effect on people’s lives. I am a member of the NCH, and as such am bound by their Code of Conduct and Ethics.

I run my practice from the comfort and serenity of the Somerset countryside at my home in Brent Knoll. As well as helping people achieve their true potential, my other passion is travel. As well as my general nursing qualification, and a year spent working as a Dental Nurse, I was lucky enough to fly all over the world as cabin crew for British Airways in a career that spanned over 30 years.

I think the combination of careers has given me an insight into human behaviour that has allowed me to understand how we react to stress, whether that be in the form of illness, the journey through passport control, or the fear of flying itself. I have held somebodies’ hand as they are wheeled into the operating theatre, delivered a baby at 30,000 feet, and talked a passenger through a panic attack as we came into land. I have comforted families on their way to funerals and opened champagne for young couples on Honeymoon. I think I have seen the best and the worst of people, in the best and worst of circumstances. I feel very privileged to be able to help anybody reach their potential and live their best life.

I have been told I am warm, gentle, kind, and empathetic. I take great pride in my work and huge satisfaction in helping my clients overcome their problems and achieve their goals. I know that seeking therapy can be a scary thing but let me be your guide and show you that things can be different.
