Beckie is a member of the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) and the Complementary Therapist Association (CThA). Originally qualifying as a Holistic Massage Therapist with ITEC in 2005, she then went on to specialise in other areas of soft tissue release, including Myofascial Release and Trigger Point Therapy to help alleviate pain, mobility issues and muscle related problems. Techniques that are invaluable when it comes to releasing long held postural habits and adhesions caused by many years of incorrect use. *Pressure can be adapted according to each client’s needs and preferences.
As well as problems caused by RSI, injury or accident, it became evident to her that many peoples’ discomfort and poor posture was caused by their body’s lack of ability and understanding of how to stand upright and move correctly as well as, at times, emotional stress being held in the body.
In 2019 Beckie began her training with Rhythmic Movement Training International (RMTi) as a Rhythmic Movement Consultant, specialising in Primitive and Postural Reflex Integration. The method uses innate Rhythmic Movements to help integrate the Primitive Reflexes necessary to establish good connectivity in the brain and postural control.
All of the above can be supported with nutritional advice if required. Beckie has an ITEC Level 3 Nutritional qualification which enables her to help you with some specialist diets and provide nutritional advice and diet plans– including vitamins and supplements- for general health and well-being.
She is a Reiki Master with over 20 years experience in USUI Reiki.

I was following Mark on Instagram for a while as he was local to me, but decided to reach out to him when I started to feel more anxious about general everyday things and felt like it was getting a bit on top of me (as a mum of two, I was worrying more about things rather than enjoying them!). We started off with some hypnosis for the first couple of sessions before moving onto some techniques to help me deal with anxiety in the moment. After the first session, I felt more calm and positive, as well as confident in being able to deal with my anxiety on the spot. Mark is very calming and is very knowledgeable about the techniques he uses. He also has a clear way of explaining things to you in simple form. After every session with Mark, my thoughts felt clearer and my anxiety has weakened to the point I rarely think about it. Even if I get a bit nervous every now & then, I feel more on top of being able to handle my thoughts/feelings. So thank you Mark for everything!

I really enjoyed my hynotherapy sessions with Mark. I sought his support after trying to lose weight unsuccessfully over the last few years and thought what harm can it do (although I was a little sceptical at first!). Mark has helped me create new habits including drinking more water, eating smaller portions and drinking less wine! Since the beginning of the year I have lost half a stone so really pleased. Thank you Mark!

What is the one thing in your life that you would love to change right now?
As a Professional Hypnotherapist, NLP coach, and Psycho-Sensory Specialist, I help people overcome challenges, break limiting patterns, and create lasting, positive change in their lives.
Hypnosis allows you to focus inward, quietening your conscious mind to access the unconscious, where behaviours and emotions take shape. By utilising deep focus and imagination, it creates meaningful change.
NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) complements this by helping you identify and reshape the connections between your thoughts, language, and actions. It enables meaningful shifts in perspective and empowers lasting transformation.
Areas I Can Help With:
- Stress and anxiety management
- Weight loss and eating issues (e.g. binge eating, comfort eating)
- Sleep issues and insomnia
- Sports performance enhancement
- Chronic conditions such as fibromyalgia
- IBS
- Smoking and vaping cessation
- Public speaking
I combine Hypnotherapy, NLP, and Psycho-Sensory techniques like EFT to help clients create deep and lasting transformations.
With experience working with individuals from all walks of life -athletes seeking improved performance, professionals navigating confidence challenges, or those managing chronic conditions – I tailor every session to your specific needs. My focus isn’t on superficial, surface-level change, but on creating profound shifts in your thinking, habits, and emotional responses.
As the in-house Hypnotherapist and NLP Coach at Addlestone Therapy, you can rest assured that I am fully insured and a member of the GHR.
Take the first step today – let’s work together to create the change you need.
