Somehow I got through 35 years with a very severe Stutter, and I did have a lovely family and a stable job. BUT I was living half a life. I reached threshold and decided to take action about my speech. My first attempt going on an intensive course was a complete failure and left my speech even worse than before, but I tried again. This time there was better results and the increased fluency I achieved enabled me to fulfil my dream to train to be come a Clinical Hypnotherapist.

I trained  at the Clifton Practice Hypnotherapy Training (CPHT), a leading teaching college in Bristol, UK. This training lead to a Solution Focused Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma (DSFH). I subsequently gained my Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma (HPD) through the National Council of Hypnotherapy. I qualified in 2009 and practiced part-time for 4 years whilst still continuing a successful career in IT. In 2018 I re-instated my practice to fulfil my passion to practice Hypnotherapy  to help people replace unwanted behaviours with desirable ones and for them to reach their full potential.

Despite teaching many courses throughout the world for one of the biggest commercial Intensive Speech Recovery Programmes, and working with over 5000 people who stuttered, I was never totally comfortable with what I was trying to do. The breakthrough came in 2013 when I discovered Transformation Breath®. This gave me a totally new way of breathing, not just a artificial way of breathing to speak as chest breathing had become, but a beautiful, powerful way of breathing for life. Grounding myself deep in my core to breath for life and joy and as a by-product achieve a magnificent feeling of letting go with my speech and my life.

Having recovered from serious illness suffered in 2015, I have now made it my passion to share all the knowledge and skills I have acquired over the last 25 years to help people change their Stuttering behaviour and replace it with a great pride in Working on Their Speech to become better speakers and have more fulfilled lives. I do this with a combination of Full Diaphragmatic Breathing using abdominal breathing, industry standard fluency shaping techniques, many of which have been around for over 50 years and deep level hypnosis in which I am professionally qualified in the UK.

I am also proud to be a Trustee of the new Self Development Charity for People Who Stutter, called Stop Holding back, (see links).
