Further to this Bobby has become a practicing Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist working with issues outside the world of dentistry.   Bobby has also written for Vital magazine on the subject of hypnotherapy and psychotherapy for smoking cessation.  Her work and study have led her to look for greater understanding of communication within healthcare professions, with patients and within teams providing care.
