About me
Welcome, I am Merrenna,
I am the lead therapist of Beneficial Change, delivering Solution Focused Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy online to clients all over the world.
I specialise in Anxiety and Stress disorders particularly in the areas of:
- Menopause
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome
- Sleep
- Social Anxiety
- Perinatal Anxiety
- Postnatal Anxiety
- Tokophobia ( fear of birth) and Birth trauma
I help clients manage and overcome the many symptoms that these can bring.
I also work in supporting people through life changes, such as loss, bereavement and life adjustments in career, relationship as well as just maintaining their ongoing mental health.
Beneficial Change uses Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, a safe and gentle process, as it focuses on the present and positive version of the future. The therapy which combines psychotherapy, neuroscience brain-based therapies and hypnosis, has good results as a very effective treatment for stress, anxiety disorders.
How Does it Work?
Firstly there is a brief consultation to discuss your desired outcome and learn more about the therapy. This is followed by Initial Diagnostic Consultation ( 1 hour) to cover the science and medical aspects, to determine the treatment and number of sessions.
Treatment durations vary between 4 - 8 plus, which are around 55 minutes in length and involve goal setting and relaxation trance. There is also an audio to listen to between sessions.
Currently all sessions are completed either On-Line, using technologies such as Skype, WhatsApp, Zoom, Signal or at a suitable clinic location either Berkhamsted or NW3.

Member organisations
The CNHC encompasses many types of alternative therapy, including hypnotherapy.
In order to be admitted to the register a practitioner must have studied to the National Occupational Standards for that profession/discipline, or have reached the equivalent of the National Occupational Standards through other relevant training or at least three years of experience and been assessed by their peers.
A practitioner must also have professional insurance and agree to abide by the CNHC Code of Conduct, Performance and Ethics.
The National Council for Hypnotherapy holds one of the largest registers of independent Hypnotherapists in the United Kingdom and strives to maintain the highest standards among its members.
There is an agreed Code of Conduct, an established Complaints & Disciplinary Procedure and all members are obliged to maintain comprehensive Public Liability & Professional Indemnity Insurance, maintain regular CPD (continuing professional development) hours, and attend Supervision when needed.
The Association for Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (AfSFH) was set up to provide information about a modern form of Hypnotherapy and its associated benefits to members of the public. The main aim of the AfSFH is to spread awareness of the benefits of Solution Focused Hypnotherapy. Its secondary aim is to support Hypnotherapists in their businesses by encouraging good practice and self-care.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Information about health conditions (*)
Hypnotherapy can enhance the well-being of individuals diagnosed with serious medical conditions, but should not take the place of medical treatment and advice.
