Scope of practice

This scope of practice describes the skills, service and responses that are within my competency and boundary as a hypnotherapist.

Being trauma-informed means working within my scope of practice and ensuring that I do so with integrity and ethics.

This way I’m able to honour myself and my capacity to hold space for other people whilst simultaneously having your best interest at heart. My role is to offer you guidance and accountability. Working outside my scope of practice can create potential gaps or a pathway for harm to occur.

I specialise in stress and anxiety to help you make positive lifestyle changes so that you can make progress towards your goals.

However, the information I provide to you is not medical advice and my work is not intended as a substitute for medical or psychological care. I do not diagnose, treat nor prescribe. I am not a medical doctor, a trained psychiatrist or psychologist.

My services help you thrive and flourish through positive thinking and your capacity for self-hypnosis.

They are supportive, experiential and educational and based on teaching clients how to use their inner resources, strengths, skills and abilities.

My services do not treat mental health conditions and are not a substitute for counselling, mental health care or medical treatment of any kind.

If we work together and you have needs outside my scope of practice, I will hold space for you and do my best to refer you to someone more suitable.

Education and training

As the State of Washington has not adopted educational and training standards for the practice of hypnotism, this statement of credentials is for informational purposes only.

I am trained in Mindfulness-Based Clinical Hypnosis from Central England College.

I am registered as a Certified Hypnotherapist and I am a Certified Member of the National Guild of Hypnotists.

I am a Verified Member of the Association for Professional Hypnosis and Psychotherapy (APHP) in the UK.

I am trained in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Ericksonian Hypnosis, Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (CBH), Solution Focussed Hypno-Psychotherapy and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT).

I do annual continuing education and supervision to maintain my training at a high level. Read more about me and the training I’ve undertaken so far.

Collective liberation

We’re not free until everyone is free.

My goal is to live and work with a perspective rooted in anti-oppression and liberation. I am committed to ongoing, life-long anti-racism and anti-oppression training where I can learn and unlearn more about my own white supremacy and internal biases.

I am grateful to learn from teachers, educators, facilitators and activists who share their lived experiences so that I can enrich my understanding of dismantling oppressive systems, from which I benefit from, and achieving collective liberation.
