My Story
I never set out to become a therapist.I've always enjoyed helping people, but I never imagined it would become my career. That all changed because of one life-changing event—one that was both traumatic and one of the greatest moments of my life.
My (now) wife went to hospital with suspected appendicitis. Instead, we discovered she was in labour!With just three hours' notice, I became the proud Dad of a healthy, full-term baby girl.Not long afterwards, something wasn't right. I began experiencing vivid flashbacks to the hospital, an overwhelming sense that the floor was falling away beneath me, and intense feelings of panic. Looking back, I now recognise these as symptoms of PTSD following an event-specific traumatic experience.I sought help from a hypnotherapist, who used a single NLP Rewind session. The flashbacks stopped, and the experience completely changed the direction of my life.
I became fascinated by the mind, the nervous system, and the neuroscience behind trauma, stress, and emotional wellbeing. That curiosity soon became a passion, and I retrained as a hypnotherapist so I could help others overcome anxiety, depression, PTSD, complex trauma, and the lasting effects of distressing experiences. Then one enquiry changed the direction of my career once again.
A lady contacted me because she couldn't cope with the sound of someone repeatedly clicking a pen. At the time, I had never even heard of Misophonia.
After working together, she found that the clicking pen no longer triggered the same overwhelming emotional response. That experience sparked an obsession. I immersed myself in the research, explored the neuroscience, worked with more clients, and began developing my own understanding of how nervous system regulation could play a role in helping people with Misophonia.
Since then, I've dedicated my career to supporting (mature) children, teenagers, adults, and families affected by this often misunderstood condition. Through working with thousands of clients, I've continued to refine my approach, always aiming to provide practical, compassionate, and evidence-informed support.
There is nothing more rewarding than seeing someone regain confidence, freedom, and hope. I often describe what I do as HypNOtherapy—therapy that's centred on helping other people—and I genuinely love what I do.
MisoGo Online is the culmination of everything I've learned along the way. It's my mission to make high-quality, practical support available to people with Misophonia, wherever they are in the world.
