Do You Feel Stuck in Patterns That Keep Repeating?

Perhaps you’ve spent years trying to understand why you feel the way you do.

You might feel anxious or constantly on edge, struggle to trust yourself, or find yourself repeating the same painful patterns in relationships, work or life. Deep down, you may carry a sense that you’re not good enough, that you’re somehow “too much” or “not enough”, even though part of you knows that isn’t true.

You may recognise some of these experiences:

• You feel lost or disconnected from yourself and don’t know how to move forward.
• You struggle with feelings of shame, low self-worth or believing you’re unlovable.
• You find yourself being your own harshest critic, replaying conversations and feeling you’ve got everything wrong.
  Painful memories from the past still affect how you feel, think or respond today.
• You keep falling into the same emotional or relationship patterns, despite wanting things to be different.
• You’ve relied on alcohol, food, relationships, work or other coping strategies to numb difficult emotions or simply get through the day.
• You long to feel calmer, more confident and more like yourself, but aren’t sure how to get there.
  If any of this feels familiar, you’re not alone. These patterns usually develop for a reason, and they can change.

What Is Cognitive Hypnotherapy?

Cognitive Hypnotherapy is a modern, evidence-based approach that combines hypnosis with psychological techniques to help create lasting emotional change.

Rather than simply managing symptoms, we explore the subconscious beliefs and emotional patterns that may have developed through earlier life experiences. Together, we work to process unresolved experiences, calm your nervous system and help your mind create healthier, more helpful ways of responding.

Because the work happens at both a conscious and subconscious level, many people find they are able to make changes more quickly than they expected. Most importantly, those changes feel natural and lasting because they come from changing the underlying patterns, rather than simply trying to think differently or suppress difficult emotions.

Every person’s journey is unique, and therapy moves at a pace that feels safe and right for you.

You Might Benefit from Cognitive Hypnotherapy and Inner Child Therapy If…

You feel stuck in anxiety, shame, fear or painful emotions that don’t seem to go away.

You’ve been living with difficult patterns, addictions or low self-esteem and want to understand what’s driving them.

You experience panic attacks, social anxiety or persistent self-doubt.

You fear rejection, abandonment, intimacy or failure, and notice these fears affecting your relationships or choices.

You often avoid situations that feel emotionally unsafe, even though you wish you could live more freely.

You’re ready to stop simply surviving and begin building a life that feels calmer, more connected and more authentic.

Who am I?

I'm Rowenna Clifford, and I help people like you across the UK and worldwide online, to overcome personal, mental and emotional challenges using Cognitive Hypnotherapy, NLP Coaching and IEMT.

I work with people on all kinds of problems, and as someone who has experienced struggles in my own life, I understand how debilitating and all-encompassing it can feel. But, I also know that it is completely possible to turn things around, and that if I can move from surviving to thriving, then so can you.

Growing up in a dysfunctional family home with parents who struggles with addiction, I developed a deep sense of unworthiness and social anxiety which affected me into my adult life. My low self-esteem and crippling fear of being judged held me back from achieving the success I wanted in life, and I struggled to maintain healthy relationships.

Thankfully, I reached out for help and by chance found NLP and hypnotherapy. This helped me work through and release my trauma and finally let go of daily panic attacks and the fear of being seen. I was finally able to live life without the perpetual fear of rejection, and start rebuilding my confidence and self-worth.

Fuelled by the realisation that I could change, filled me with a deep desire to help others do the same and lead me to train with some of the world's best teachers in the field of transformative therapies. It has become my life’s mission to support others on their journey towards a life of mental and emotional freedom, success and joyful connection.

How I Work

Together we'll explore the root causes of your experiences and what you want to achieve. During each session, I'll guide you to access the parts of you that carry painful beliefs and emotional wounds, and help you heal them through therapeutic processing and transformative change work. 

We might explore inner child work and reparenting the parts of you that were shaped by attachment injuries and trauma. 

The techniques we use will be guided by what we uncover that needs working through. This might be guided visualisation to reach inner child parts, explore and reprocess memories or abstract symbolic parts of your psyche. Or we may use some EMDR style processing, Gestalt discussion work, NLP techniques, EFT tapping or other techniques from the models I am trained in.

Sessions can also be used for therapeutic coaching using the NLP frameworks I am qualified in.

Free Telephone Consultation

I offer a free 30 min consultation over the telephone so that we can get a feel of how we will work together and answer any questions you might have.

What Some of My Clients Say (please visit my Google reviews page to see more):

"Rowenna is fantastic. She really listens and gets to know you. I've had some poor experiences on the NHS (both with talk therapy and CBT) and was ready to try something different which led me to her Cognitive Hypnotherapy. I only needed 3 sessions to get out of the rut I kept finding myself in. I highly recommend her". ~ Ashley, Social Media Consultant

                                  ------------------------------------------------------

"I had a course of Hypnotherapy with Rowenna recently, to support me through a period of change, and found it to be really effective. The recordings are great to continue listening to as well, as you can go back to them, to ensure it embeds in. I was pleasantly surprised at how much Rowenna had picked up from our initial discovery session which she then used in the following sessions/ recordings. I also found her really engaging from the first inquiry phone call, she explained her practice in a way that gave me the confidence that she understood my situation and could help. Will definitely continue to use her services". ~ Monique, Senior Project Manager

                                  ------------------------------------------------------

"I’ve been visiting Rowenna for a few months now and can honestly say that after trying other types of therapy, cognitive hypnotherapy with Rowenna has helped me enormously. I was a bit sceptical at first, partly due to my previous experiences with therapy, but I went in with an open mind and noticed a possitive change after my first session, which became more and more obvious over the next few weeks and months. I feel so much more relaxed and confident and it feels so natural to feel like this now. Rowenna is extremely good at what she does and can identify what it is that will help you after your first discussion. She’s really knowledgable in her field and has given me a good understanding of how cognitive hypnotherapy works. She also takes the time to create personalised recordings for you, which I listen to once or twice a day between sessions. Rowenna is understanding, knowledgable and very calming, and I really can’t recommend her enough". ~ Tom, Manufacturing and Sales CEO

                                  ------------------------------------------------------

"I have been working with Rowenna to explore and address my anxiety issues which followed a cancer diagnosis in 2018 and subsequent treatment which has just ended ( Feb 2019). I was dealing well with the physical aspects of my treatment but psychologically and emotionally it was a different matter. The opportunity to work with Rowenna came at exactly the right point and several sessions in I’m delighted to say that I’m feeling calmer and more focussed on my recovery post treatment. The therapy approach was new to me and I have found myself more engaged in the process than others I have tried. Rowenna took time initially to explain the approach, the process and my role in it and this has worked very well for me as I have remained engaged throughout. I enjoy the sessions as I feel that I’m really contributing to them but more importantly that I’m getting a great deal back. The sessions are followed up with audio recordings which are a really helpful recap of the session that I use to repeat the learning. Rowenna has a great approach, she is very calm and reassuring and I never feel that I’m being rushed". ~ Garry, Senior NHS Worker

                                  ------------------------------------------------------

"Rowenna helped me pinpoint the issues I wanted help with. We covered a lot of territory during the sessions and I found her great at picking up on the bits which were relevant to my problem that we could work with, even with my crazy disjointed rambling. She has a very calm non-judgemental manner which instantly puts you at ease. I now have personalised recordings to listen to and she has taught me some other tools to use in certain situations. We worked on my anxiety over public speaking, which was affecting my confidence with presentations at work. Although I haven’t actually done public speaking yet, I felt much more confident preparing the presentation. The anxiety I would have usually felt just emailing the research to my supervisor was absent and I feel calm when I think about standing talking in front of my peers. I would definitely recommend Rowenna for Cognitive Hypnotherapy". ~ Nikki, Natural Health Practitioner

                                  ------------------------------------------------------

"Rowenna is extremely professional in her approach and always gives really clear explanations about the methods she is about to use in each session. She is also very non judgemental about any issues that have come up during the sessions and therefore really easy to talk to. I approached Rowenna as I was suffering from anxiety in certain work situations and social situations, since attending the sessions the anxiety has decreased and I feel far more confident and able to enjoy my time at work and socially without worrying. I also had an issue with caffeine addiction and since attending the sessions my caffeine intake has decreased and I am on the way to giving it up completely". ~ Louise, Music Producer
