Meet Helena
Full clinical hypno-psychotherapy, tailored to you
I’m a UKCP-accredited psychotherapist and registered clinical hypnotherapist with over a decade of experience. I combine hypnotherapy with psychodynamic therapy and CBT, so we can address both the habit or feeling itself and what sits underneath it.
Hypnotherapy isn’t something done to you — it’s a collaborative, relaxed process where you stay fully in control. I’ll help you access a calm, focused state where positive change comes far more easily.
Why people choose me
- Warm, non-judgmental, and professional

A Calm, Focused State
What Is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy uses a natural state of deep relaxation and focused attention — a little like being absorbed in a good book or film — to help your mind become more open to positive change. In this calm state, we can gently update the habits, fears, and thought patterns that keep you stuck.
You won’t be asleep or unconscious, and you can’t be made to do anything against your will. You stay aware and in control the whole time — this is clinical therapy, nothing like the hypnosis you see on stage.

Good to Know
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I lose control or be knocked out?
No. You stay fully aware and in control the whole time. Hypnotherapy is simply a state of deep, focused relaxation — you could open your eyes and stop at any point.
Is it like the hypnosis I have seen on TV?
Not at all. Stage hypnosis is entertainment. Clinical hypnotherapy is a calm, therapeutic process — nothing embarrassing.
Can anyone be hypnotised?
Almost everyone can, as long as you are willing. It is a natural state you already drift into daily — like being lost in a film or driving on autopilot.
How many sessions will I need?
It varies. Some goals — like stopping smoking or a single phobia — can take just a few sessions; others need a little longer. We will map it out together at your consultation.
Is hypnotherapy safe?
Yes. It is safe, gentle, and non-invasive when carried out by a qualified, registered therapist. I am registered with the National Hypnotherapy Society.
Does it actually work?
For habits, anxiety, phobias and sleep, many people see real results — especially when they are motivated to change. The free consultation is a great way to explore whether it is right for you.
Your Space
A Safe, Relaxing Space
Every session is calm, private, and completely confidential. There is nothing to get right and nothing to do — your only job is to relax while I gently guide the process.
Whether we meet in my St Albans consulting room or by secure video call, hypnotherapy works just as well from the comfort of your own home.
