Thank you for taking the time to share your views. I take all feedback seriously, especially when it relates to client experience and public trust.
However, after careful consideration, I believe this review does not come from a verified client. I maintain clear records of all therapeutic work, and to the best of my knowledge, no individual matching this account has engaged in paid sessions or formal client work with me. If this individual did engage in an initial discovery call, I would welcome a private conversation to address any concerns directly, ethically, and with mutual respect.
To clarify:
I am a qualified Clinical Hypnotherapist and a full member of the British Society of Clinical Hypnosis (BSCH). I am transparent about my credentials and do not advertise myself as a psychotherapist or licensed mental health professional. My work is clearly described on my website and in all client materials.
I use a trauma-informed, somatic approach grounded in nervous system regulation, emotional attunement, guided hypnotherapy EMDR psychotherapy, ACT and bereavement counselling. I do not treat psychiatric conditions and always refer on when appropriate. Safeguarding is taken seriously and clearly outlined in my disclaimers and client forms.
I do not work with children or vulnerable adults without capacity. I do not claim to diagnose or cure any mental health condition.
I uphold confidentiality with the utmost care. No personal client information is ever disclosed unless mandated by law or immediate risk.
If this review has been submitted by someone with a personal connection to a client, or with an intent to discredit rather than genuinely reflect on therapeutic experience, I respectfully request Trustpilot investigate this under their misuse and verification policy.
To existing and prospective clients: my door remains open with compassion, transparency, and professional integrity. If you have any concerns or questions about my work, I invite you to contact me directly.
