My Background

Influences

 My dear friend and colleague, Helen Scott, sadly passed away on 6th October 2010.  She was an incredible hypnotherapist and wonderful friend.  Her memory lives on in the hundreds of people she helped guide through difficulties and challenges to become the best that they could be.  She will be missed often but never forgotten.
