Why Your Gut Reacts to Stress
Your gut and brain are in constant communication, a two-way pathway called the gut–brain axis, where stress can instantly affect digestion. When stress builds up, the nervous system becomes alert, and digestion shifts into protection mode.
That’s why stress can trigger:
• Urgency or bathroom anxiety
• Nausea, bloating, or cramping
• Appetite changes
• Brain fog and exhaustion
Your gut isn’t malfunctioning, it’s trying to protect you. When the gut–mind connection feels safe again, digestion can finally settle.
✔ 90% of clients report reduced gut anxiety
✔ 80% report fewer flare-ups
✔ 100% feel more confident managing symptoms

Why I Specialise in IBS & Gut–Mind Therapy
I specialise in helping adults with IBS and stress-sensitive digestion, where symptoms continue to disrupt daily life.
My work focuses on the gut-brain connection, the two-way communication system between your nervous system and your digestive tract. When this system becomes over-alert, digestion shifts into protection mode, leading to symptoms such as urgency, pain, bloating, nausea, or unpredictable bowel habits.
I combine evidence-based gut-directed hypnotherapy, CBT, and nervous system regulation to help calm digestive sensitivity at its source, rather than simply managing symptoms.
My interest in this work comes from both clinical training and lived understanding. I know how stress can register in the body long before it’s fully recognised in the mind - and how powerfully the gut responds when the system feels under pressure.
Alongside structured therapy, I use brief, focused regulation techniques to help clients settle flare-ups between sessions, build confidence in their body’s signals, and create steadier, more predictable digestion over time.
My approach is structured, compassionate, and practical - designed to support real life. Whether that’s getting through the workday without constant monitoring, leaving the house without fear of urgency, or feeling more at ease in your body again.
Professional Background
My own experience with gut–mind challenges drove me to specialise in evidence-based methods that create real, lasting change. I integrate cognitive science, nervous system regulation, and practical tools from gut–brain research to help both teens and adults feel safe and in control again.
I am an accredited Clinical Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist (Level 5, NCFE) with additional specialist training in Paediatric Hypnotherapy (Dip Hyp Paediatrics) and Gut-Directed Hypnotherapy for IBS and functional gut disorders.
My approach combines CBT, clinical hypnotherapy, and mind–body physiology with the latest understanding of the gut–brain axis.
My practice is structured, compassionate, and practical — helping clients reduce symptoms, build confidence, and regain quality of life in the moments that matter most: school days, work, sport, and everyday routines.

“What Is Your Gut Trying to Tell You? And Are You Listening?”
Your mind is brilliant, but when it’s overworked, your body often speaks up first.
Maybe it’s tension in your stomach, a sudden tightness in your chest, or a wave of fatigue that arrives out of nowhere. These aren’t random, they’re your body’s way of communicating stress.
This 2-minute quiz reveals your unique Gut–Mind Stress Type, showing how your thoughts, emotions, and gut responses interact. Each type has its own strengths, sensitivities, and patterns when stress builds.
Once you understand your Gut–Mind pattern, you can start retraining that connection, calming your body, clearing your mind, and restoring balance from the inside out.
