About me
My name is Leonora and I am an experienced Clinical Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist committed to helping people Bring Change to their lives by providing them with the tools to make positive changes and take back control of their life.
My Personal Hypnotherapy journey began when I suddenly started feeling very anxious and would wake up every morning at about 3am and really struggle to get back to sleep. I also experienced hot flushes, brain fog and lost my confidence, which are all typical perimenopausal symptoms. I felt awful and totally helpless, and I knew I had to do something. Hypnotherapy completely changed my life! I feel like a new person with renewed confidence and purpose.
I can help with a range of issues including:
- Anxiety
- Support women with menopausal symptoms
- Insomnia and sleep issues
- Weight loss and weight management
- Building confidence and self-esteem
- Fears and phobias
- Stop smoking
- Exam stress
- Improve performance
My sessions are online with clients using Zoom which means that I can provide you with the help and support you need, regardless of where you are based in the UK. Research has shown that online sessions are as effective as face-to-face sessions. it is convenient, no travel involved, and more importantly you are in your home/space where you feel comfortable and relaxed. You will need a good internet connection and a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed. I am happy to offer a free training session to show you how Zoom works.

Further information
What Happens when you come to see me:
The Initial Consultation will take roughly 50 minutes. I will take some details and you share what you would like help with and to achieve by having hypnotherapy sessions. It gives you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have. I will explain how the brain works and why you are experiencing the problem and what we can do about it. Moreover, I will explain how Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is different from other forms of therapy and why trance is an easy thing to do. Although the initial consultation itself does not contain hypnosis, most people get an enormous sense of relief, comfort, and hope from the session. After the session I will send you a MP3 recording to listen to every night.
Subsequent Sessions
These sessions are 50 minutes and we begin by reviewing how things have been since our last session by focusing on what’s been good. Review is done of how the mind works and then move on to setting an achievable outcome to facilitate positive change by encouraging a positive mindset, actions and interactions. We follow this with hypnosis which is extremely relaxing and will help you to focus on what you want to change.
