At Inspired to Change I work with people who are experiencing an emotional or physical issue which is holding them back or who are struggling to cope with life’s challenges and adapting to change. Often they have tried other approaches to move forward but ultimately they still feel unhappy or stuck. People just like you.
Regardless of what brings people to see us they all have one thing in common:
- They are motivated to get better, cope better or be better
- They are ready to get their lives on track
- They are inspired to change
And that is what I am passionate about and skilled at helping people to do!
In addition to the many different issues that the solution focused approach is effective at helping my personal passion is helping people with Anxiety, Stress, Confidence, Motivation and Work/Life Balance.
I empower people to take back control of their lives and go from surviving life to thriving in life!
Having lived so much of my life through the lens of anxiety it is my mission to help others to be their best! My fear of not being good enough drove me to work harder and harder to the point of physical burn out and a diagnosis of M.E. It was on my journey to recovery that I learnt a different way to live my life, free of anxiety, stress and overwhelm. So I know what it takes to wrestle back that control, to build your confidence and move forward in to your best life!
Using my training in Neuroscience, Hypnotherapy and coaching I will guide you to unlock the power of your brain, take back control from the exhaustion of stress and anxiety to build your confidence and self esteem and discover the best version of you!
I qualified from the Clifton Practice Hypnotherapy Training School (CPHT) in 2013, one of the leading schools in the UK, and am qualified at HPD level. I am a member of the National Council for Hypnotherapy the UK’s leading not-for-profit professional association as well as the Association for Solution Focused Hypnotherapy and the Complementary and Natural Health Care Council.
I use a clinically proven Solution Focused approach to help with a wide range of mental and physical health related issues, including stress, anxiety and overwhelm, fears and phobias, depression and panic attacks, confidence and self-esteem, focus and motivation. Due to my own personal experiences I have also chosen to specialise in some key areas.

Directions
From Thrapston – come over Nine Arches bridge and continue straight up Kettering Road, past the Garage, we are half way up the hill opposite the layby and village sports field.
From the A14 – take junction 12 towards Corby and the A6116. Take the 3rd exit off the first mini roundabout towards Islip, pull in to the layby immediately after Toll Bar lane on your left and we are opposite.
Parking
Free parking is available in the layby opposite or further up the hill.
Accessibility
We are situated on a hill so the driveway leading up to the property is sloped and there are steps leading up to the front door. If you are concerned that this may cause difficulties please contact me so we can make alternative arrangements for your therapy sessions.

Other things I do at Inspired to Change
Do you have a chronic condition but struggle to manage it?
Are you fed up of feeling tired all the time?
Do you struggle to get through your normal daily routine?
Are the doctors unable to give you a definitive diagnosis?
I chose to retrain as a hypnotherapist after my own anxiety led to physical health problems and a diagnosis of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
“One of the things that helped me the most in my recovery was understanding how our brains work and why that can have such a huge impact on our wellbeing, both physical and mental and this is something I now share with all my clients”.
Using my own experiences and training I specialise in helping people overcome anxiety and chronic conditions such as CFS/ M.E, Fibromyalgia and other autoimmune conditions.
One of the things I found particularly difficult in my own recovery was that no one that was helping me actually understood what I was going through. They were able to tell me from a professional point of view what might help, but none of them had been there, none of them had experienced what I was going through so they didn’t understand that what they were asking me to do might be unrealistic or how hard it would be to do it.
Many people that I have spoken to since have had similar experiences and I realised that I was in a unique position to be able to couple my personal experience with my professional knowledge and support people through their own journey to recovery.
As a solution focused hypnotherapist I know how the brain works. I know that having the right knowledge isn’t enough to ensure your recovery, it’s not as simple as that! This is your recovery and your journey might be different from the next persons.
Energise Me is a simple four step process to guide you through your recovery:
- RECONNECT
Reconnecting with you, with your goals, your aspirations, your vision of what you want to be able to achieve and your belief that recovery is possible - RECOVER
Understand what your mind and your body needs to recover and choose which actions to take at your pace to bring you back to health - RENEW
Renew your life so you can come out the other side of this not just surviving but thriving! - RECALIBRATE
Craft your own maintenance programme so you can maintain your recovery long term
Our lives stall for a reason. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is often an outcome of long term stress and anxiety or trauma in your life. In order to recover we need to listen to those messages and do something different!

I offer a FREE initial consultation and online session options.
