About me
Has the time come to tackle these unhealthy habits and unhelpful behaviours? Are you ready to challenge and update your thought patterns and belief system? Do you wish to make a change in the flow of your life, improve your self-confidence and increase your self-awareness? Is now the moment to understand how to manage stress, anxiety, fears and other complicated emotions? If the answer is yes, then hypnotherapy can help you.
Why work with me?
I am told that I have a calming and empathetic presence, but still challenge the status quo effectively. I have a keen interest and experience in the mind-body connection, and in psychological factors like perception, conditioning and core beliefs:
- Hypnotherapy takes you on a deep journey within, so that you can understand yourself better.
- With my help and support, you can experience invaluable personal growth and empowering change.
- Hypnosis works quickly and is a proven approach to tackling life stresses, pain symptoms (incl. childbirth) and low self-esteem.
- My clients are mainly adults of all ages, but having worked in school settings for many years, I am confident working with young people too.
Qualifications and background:
- Certified Hypnotherapist & Member of the National Guild of Hypnotists
- Qualified Hypnobirthing Practitioner
- Background in counselling & therapeutic play (having worked for over 12 years providing emotional support to school children and their families in my local community in SW London)
- Born in France, I have lived and worked in London for over 30 years. I am married, with two grown-up children.
So, what happens next?
- Email me or message me on WhatsApp with the issue you wish to address, to see how I can be of help and, if a good fit, to set up an initial online consultation session.
- There is a short form to fill in before this initial 90 minutes session, which normally takes place online (Zoom/FaceTime/WhatsApp Video) but could be done on the phone.
- Payment is required 24 hours before, to guarantee your booking.
- All your questions about hypnotherapy and the process of hypnosis will be answered. We will talk about your circumstances, define your main issue and the outcome you seek.
- We will do some relaxing hypnosis and set the direction of travel for therapeutic change. Then, we will discuss how (and how many) further sessions might be beneficial to you.
If the time for change is now... then I look forward to meeting you!

Clients' feedback & testimonials:
- NF, Fear of flying: "It was lovely meeting you last week. On Saturday afternoon, I arrived at my destination safely. What a wonder - my flight was delayed by one hour but, despite that, I cannot believe (I can, with your help obviously) how easily I managed it even with turbulence. I didn’t really manage to sleep or watch a movie; but, I left it to the captain and his crew to do their thing. My only annoyance was their food which was taste free; and their seats lol - a small price to pay for the normal elevated stress levels I have. Once again, thank you."
- CT, Exam stress: "During my session with Silvana, I learned a lot about how altering the subconscious through positive associations can help you through any problem you may have. Personally, I have noticed positive changes in myself since the session. I also felt comfortable and in control during the entire session which is a tribute to Silvana’s calm and professional approach. I highly recommend her to anyone who is interested in benefitting from hypnotherapy. Thank you again!"
- EB, Stress management & building self-confidence: "I feel so much stronger in myself and with my ability to handle stressful situations, and that's all down to Silvana's techniques and exercises. The 3 sessions I have done have massively improved my confidence at work and lowered my stress levels. I know that I can rely on Silvana to guide me to a place where I feel happier and healthier mentally."
- EF, Self-confidence: "Thank you very much for all the help that you have given me, it has made a huge difference. I feel that I am more confident when interacting with people and I am more aware of my feelings and how to deal with them. It has also encouraged me to have more balance in my life and to remember my core values."

CB, Smoking cessation: "Thank you! Adieu tobacco! Just wanted to let you know that I haven’t smoked for 15 days!! I am so proud... I am snacking a little more but it’s all in my head and I can fight it! I found a Zumba class 3 mins away from my home and will be starting in a week. Thank you soooo muchhhh!!!!"(Update: As of Jan 2020, CB has been a non-smoker for over 8 months!)
-
MB, Pain management: "Thank you so much for helping me find ways to deal with my knee pain before my walking holiday. I have just returned, and I can confidently say that without our session I wouldn’t have been able to enjoy it as much as I did. I particularly appreciated how you worked through a variety of different pain management strategies and allowed me to decide which ones I connected with best – as we know, you can’t use a one size fits all approach! You were so reassuring throughout… I wish I could bottle up your soothing voice so that I could listen to it whenever I want!! Thank you again so much and I am already looking forward to our next session."

WG, 42: "Silvana not only has a wonderfully calming voice, which complimented how quickly I became relaxed and totally at ease when working with her, but her skills as a hypnotherapist are very impressive too."
