You may understand your difficulties quite well—and still find yourself replaying conversations, imagining the worst or feeling that whatever you do is never quite enough. Knowing you are probably overthinking doesn’t necessarily help you switch off.

I’m Jelena, a Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist. I help thoughtful, capable adults with anxiety, self-doubt, perfectionism and the pressure to keep everything together.

I combine cognitive behavioural methods, therapeutic hypnosis and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy principles. We explore how your thoughts, emotions, physical responses and habits interact, then work with ways to change those patterns. Hypnosis offers opportunities to practise different responses through focused attention and imagination; you remain aware and in control.

My background in biology and extensive experience in education inform my scientific outlook and ability to make complex ideas understandable. You can expect warmth, honest conversation, gentle challenge and room for humour. You don’t need to arrive knowing exactly what is wrong or explain everything perfectly.

The work is personal to you: what you struggle with, what matters to you, and what you want more room for in your life.
