Hypnotherapy for authenticity, presence, and creative freedom

Welcome to Thought Compass. I’m here to help you explore the unhelpful thought patterns that may be holding you back. Using cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy I’ll guide you to tackle performance anxiety, imposter syndrome, self-doubt and social anxiety in a way that feels manageable and empowering.

Who I work with

I specialise in guiding performers, creatives, and LGBTQ+ professionals through imposter thoughts, performance anxiety, and inherited scripts that keep you stuck in roles you never auditioned for.

Whether on stage or in daily life, I help you reconnect with your authentic voice and move through life with a deeper sense of agency and belonging.

For Actors & Performers

When the spotlight hits, why does your presence disappear? Discover how cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy can help you transform performance anxiety, defeat the inner critic, and reclaim your authentic presence on stage and in the audition room.

What was evident throughout was Gavin’s ability to be positive when it was needed and to see the bigger picture when I was obsessing on finer details and what I considered to be a lack of progress (it wasn’t, it was just my inability to see it).
