For those who appreciate the science: a hypnotised mind undergoes brain changes that lead to focused attention and greater physical and emotional control. It’s a safe and well established therapeutic practice when delivered by a properly trained profesional. My background in clinical science, combined with my training in Strategic Hypnotherapy, allows me to bring both scientific understanding and practical experience to the service I provide.​

​

Along my path, I've been fortunate to learn from experienced practioners and industry leaders who have helped shape the way I work today. I've learned that people aren't roborts, and shouldnt be forced to being one. We are individuals, emotional beings, and what works for one person may not work for another.​

​

​My understanding of the power of the mind hasn't come only from my professional training. 

​​

Over the years, I've experience it through my own life - I lived a high - functioning, anxiety-driven life - constantly busy, overthinking, with restless sleep and a mind that rarely seemed to quieten. Sunday nights were often spent worrying about the week ahead and what Monday would bring, and how I would navigate interactions with colleagues and bosses. I was constantly reading into their tone, their expressions and their reactions — even something as small as the way someone clicked their pen could feel like a sign of what kind of week I was going to have.

​

I was also a perfectionist and feared public speaking - not necessarily the speaking itself, but what people might think of me, whether I would get it right, and whether I would be good enough.

​

I've experienced the power of the mind in other ways too - from having dental work without anesthetic, to navigating the fear and uncertainty of an emergency landing over the Pacific Ocean, an experience I later shared on the NAVA podcast. These experiences eventually led me to search for something more: greater purpose, fulfilment and self - trust. 

​

But my personal journey from Scientist to Clinical Hypnotherapist began much earlier, in 2013, when I was pregnant with my first son. During those many months of uncertainty and discomfort, I was given a hypnobirthing CD. I listened to it religiously, and I now realise just how much that simple practise changed the trajectory of my birth - and ultimately my life. My son was born in just two hours, without drugs or stitches, weighting over 4kg. It was an experience that opened my eyes to the incredible connection between the mind and body and has inspired me to learn more.

​

My late grandfather was also a great influence on the person I have become. After leaving trouble Croatia, he went on to transform the lives of many people around him through his generosity, compassion and belief in the potential of others. He firmly believed in the remarkable impact of unconditional love and the liberating effects of opening your heart and mind to new possibilities. Those values continue to influence the way I work with every person who trust me with this.

​

All these professional and personal experience have shaped not only who I am, but how I work.​

​

Ultimately, my role is not to tell you who you should be, and how you should do life. I provide the space, experience and guidance to help you move you from one way of being to another. Because it's not that there is something wrong with you - its simply that you've learned to do things certain way, and if the way you've been doing it no longer serves you, you can learn a different way.

I hope you'll trust in me to be your guide to and empower you towards meaningful change and more fulfilling life. Alison x.
