About me
You don’t need more strategies, you need a different relationship with your mind.
I’m Serena, a qualified Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy Practitioner. I understand what it's like to feel at odds with yourself, know you can lead a fulfilling life, but feel like something is holding you back, have courage but a harsh inner dialogue....
I work with people who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or caught in patterns they can’t think their way out of.
My approach is infused with hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, coaching, counselling, trauma-informed and NLP. Including evidence-based, depth psychology (such as Parts Therapy) grounded in practical real-world/life integration. This means we do not just talk about change we experience it.
How I Work
My work is person-centred, integrative, and grounded in real life.
Rather than offering quick fixes or surface-level techniques, I focus on helping you shift the underlying patterns that keep repeating, whether that shows up as anxiety, low confidence, emotional overwhelm, habits you can’t seem to break, phobias that are holding you back or feeling disconnected from yourself.
Sessions are calm, collaborative, and tailored entirely to you. We work at your pace, with a strong emphasis on understanding, safety, and long-term change.
Many of my clients are capable, thoughtful individuals who are tired of battling their own minds and want a more sustainable way forward.
Approaches I Use
I draw from a range of integrative approaches, adapting each session to what’s most appropriate for you:
- Hypnotherapy/Psychotherapy
- Coaching
- Core Transformation
- Psychotherapy
- Counselling
- NLP
- Intuitive approaches, including Past Life Regression (optional)
Location
I offer face-to-face sessions in West Hallam, Derbyshire and Nottingham City Centre in my private therapy spaces.
Plus online sessions via Zoom.

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.
Hypnotherapists may become members of the General Hypnotherapy Register if they satisfy certain criteria with regard to both training and ongoing requirements as determined from time to time by the General Hypnotherapy Standards Council (GHSC). Members are either registered at Practitioner status (which confirms that the GHR acknowledges their qualification to practice), or Affiliate status. Although Affiliate level registrants will have completed a sufficient number of training hours to equip them to commence seeing clients on a limited basis, the GHR does not acknowledge them to have yet been trained to full practitioner level. All GHR Registered Practitioners are required to accept the published Code of Ethics and Complaints & Disciplinary Procedure.
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.

Further information
See what previous clients say about working with me...
"I'd say I was pretty low and had been battling with depression and anxiety on and off for years but this episode had hit me hard and I'd been suffering for quiet a few months, it effected my family and social life as well as my work. I was already on medication which was increased when I realised I wasn't doing well. I also decided to start counselling again which helped me a lot. But I'd always been intrigued by hypnotherapy and I wanted to try something else.
I have not been disappointed by the hypnotherapy sessions, they have helped make me feel so much better and positive. I have lots of tools to help me in the future if I ever need them. Serena is a lovely and she made feel at ease. I felt very comfortable talking to her about things. I looked forward to going for sessions, I found them so relaxing and calming and most of all they were for me.
I cannot thank Serena enough and would highly recommended her if your considering hypnotherapy. I wouldn't hesitate going to see her in the future."
