Hi there, I'm Pip

Clinical Hypnotherapist and Strategic Psychotherapist. NLP Master Practitioner. Life coach. Former High School Teacher. Die hard fan of live music, theatre and film. Super proud Mum. Maker of Fabulous.

While I might not know the exact details of where you’re at, I have experienced so much in my half century of life, that I certainly have a heartfelt understanding. So, how have I come to land in this space of dedication to other’s happiness and wellbeing?

Well, I’ve walked through many tough situations and been determined through every storm that there must be something better. I could feel it deep within me. Even when life was ok, I still had that niggly feeling that things are meant to be better.

I’m so grateful that I kept pushing on with dogged curiosity. I’ve always been curious. Reading books from authors such as Deepak Chopra. Watching ‘The Secret’ and devouring as much as I could about quantum physics seemed like the ultimate answers.

If only I could stay in those moments offered by such teachings! But still things weren’t shifting as I intuitively felt they could. Breaking free from domestic violence and a few years later enduring the devasting loss of my brothers and parents sent me spinning. All these teachings were tested under that load of complex grief.

Experiencing such loss, heart break and loneliness has given me a very different outlook on life, emotions and daily choices.

Talk about living raw…Oh how I know it well!

No matter how much I committed to new ways of thinking – affirmations, dream boards, high vibes etc – the big shifts I needed continued in their allusiveness. Moments from my past still influenced my decisions. Some of these I was aware of, but it wasn’t until I delved into all that I have studied that the layers of my blind spots were revealed.

Memories still had a hold over me, although by now only in a vague manner. But even a small hold creates a block in moving forward.

I justified and blamed

I was stuck – albeit in an outwardly functional way!


You see, I realised that regardless of all the work I had done on myself and continued to do – the shifts, or healing was mild at best. I decided to ramp up my commitment and retrained as life coach. Peri menopause hit me and my girlfriends like a tsunami, so I added a certification as a menopause coaching specialist.


These skills provided incredible growth for me personally and watching clients flourish was, and remains, a deeply humbling experience. But still that niggle of something more must be possible continued. Then it happened!


I found myself in the training ground of modalities that revolutionised my internal world with the natural flow on to my external world, exploding abundance and freedom I always sensed was possible: Clinical hypnosis and strategic psychotherapy added to NLP Master Practitioner.


Of course there are limits to my clinical work. Psychiatric diagnosis of mental health disorders such as (but not limited to) bipolar, schizophrenia, manic depression and personality disorders are not in my scope of practice. However, if this is you, I am more than happy to work alongside your medical care team, but this must be done in open and close consultation with your medical provider.


Thank you so much for reading a little bit about me and how I could walk some journey time with you.


If there is anything you would like to discuss with me, to see how I can help you transform your life - I cannot wait to chat with you.


My 1:1 sessions are done on zoom, providing you with the freedom to have your appointments at a time and place that best serves you. Let’s do this!
