Stephanie

..............................................

Stephanie, has worked in the NHS for over 10 years in primary, secondary and community care. During that time she trained in using the Propulse Ear Irrigation system, using this in her role until most NHS providers stopped offering it as part of their remit.

Looking into providing the service herself, Stephanie found TympaHealth and their world first system allowing safe, gold standard microsuction as well as digital imaging (so she can show you inside your ears) and hearing checks. It really is an all in one service.

Knowing that people prefer to be able to access services in their local community instead of long waiting lists, long journeys and parking charges associated with being referred to the hospital, Stephanie decided to research offering this service within her local area, in particular in Aylsham with its easy access, historical market place and free parking.

My Background

Before training to become a Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist, I worked in for many years in the NHS, including managing adult mental health services across Suffolk. I left to look after my children and then became an editor of a publishing company that I set up with my husband. Across the years I have managed staff, led teams, raised three children, delivered change, and experienced many of the highs and lows that come with work, family and personal life.

The common denominator?

My training as a hypnotherapist and my previous experience have many things in common: working as a guide, teaching new skills, helping with problem-solving and providing people with the tools they need to help them achieve their goals and live their best lives. I have always been fascinated by our ability to change the course of our lives by harnessing the power of our mind and building our resilience. This came to a fore when I turned to hypnosis to help me with chronic sleeping problems - I've never looked back!

My CBT-Hypnotherapy Training and Professional Membership

I qualified with a Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist after training with the UK College of Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy, which is the leading provider of evidence-based training of CBT-Hypnotherapy in the UK and the only one that is approved by the British Psychological Society. As a member of the college alumni, I am able to keep up to date with evidence-based practice, so you can be confident that I am working with the most up to date techniques, ensuring the best chance of success.

I am a Registered Practitioner with the professional body, the General Hypnotherapy Register, which means that I have to maintain professional standards and keep up to date with my practice. I am also an accredited practitioner with the Central Register of Stop Smoking Therapists.

I also...

... enjoy running and walking along the trails and coastal paths of North Norfolk – and taking photos – I hope you enjoy the selection I have used on my website. Going to the cinema, reading, eating, and the occasional gin are up there amongst my favourite pastimes.

Gemma has worked wonders on my shoulder. I'd had pain for years after a nursing injury and thought I would have to "live" with it. Treatments with Gemma have improved things no doubt, and I'm able to do so many things I couldn't do before.

Kathryn

I am a keen amateur golfer and had lower back pain coupled with a calf injury. Gemma treated both problems and as a result I have now made a full recovery. Gemma also performed acupuncture on my calf. This was a painless experience which I highly recommend.

Stephen

Gemma has not only got me out of pain but her knowledge is outstanding. She really explained what was going on with my back, plus gave me some invaluable advice in how to stop the pain returning.
