I am a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist and EMDR practitioner. I trained at CCPE in Paddington.

I set up Tinnitus Hearing Solutions in 2014 to help people with tinntus. I appreciate that finding the right product or getting the right support or help can be difficult. This site is designed to make things easier for you to get that help.

With any tinnitus related difficulty your first stop should be your GP to rule out any serious underlying tinnitus cause and for an appropriate referal should this be requirred. Many people give up on tinnitus help after medical avenues are exhausted. There are always lots of things you can do to help yourself with tinnitus management or working towards tinnitus habituation. The majority of people who have tinnitus are not bothered overly by it. If you are you are in the minority and can do something about it.

Difficulties with tinnitus or problematic tinnitus are caused by our psychological and somatic reaction to tinnitus rather than the tinnitus itself. Calming the mind and the body greatly improves life with tinnitus and in many cases reduces tinnitus symptoms and paves the way towards tinnitus habituation.

I look forward to hearing from you.
