Before I started working with Renata, I was really struggling with panic and not knowing where to go with my life. I needed guidance. Also, I was nervous because I have had bad experiences with therapists before. I was a bit unsure about opening up at first.
But during the free 30-minute consultation I felt really at ease. I felt like Renata was really someone who would listen to me, but also not just listen, challenge me and help me to get better. I also found her voice very soothing which made me feel that hypnotherapy with her would work for me!
My therapy experience has been amazing. I feel heard. I have found it really helpful learning that maybe what I struggle with isn’t just black and white, and that there’s deeper issues for me to work on. I was really surprised at how much the hypnotherapy worked for me. I wasn’t expecting to react emotionally so much to it but I did which was brilliant. I’ve found listening to the recording everyday is really helping me to relax and be calmer.
I’ve started to be more aware of when I’m feeling guilty and I don’t need to be. I think I’ve started to be more patient with myself and to understand myself better. I thought I’d done all the work I needed to on myself and that was really scary because I felt like I still didn’t know how to process a lot of things. Now that I understand there’s more to be done, I feel less panicked.
If you are looking for guidance, support, an open ear and a kind person to talk to, that’s Renata. You absolutely won’t regret it, commit to the sessions and let her challenge you.

I started seeing Renata as I was experiencing problems within my relationship and was struggling to work out my next steps as I was nearing the end of my postgraduate degree. She was recommended to me by a friend and I was instantly put at ease when I first met her.
Renata explained the process of us working together and set very clear boundaries of how she could assist me. She was very professional throughout all of our sessions and supported me during a very difficult time, of which I’m very grateful for.
Renata gave me the tools I needed to take back control within my life and regain my focus so I felt that I had more direction with the path I was taking. She helped me find my self-worth and self-confidence again which enabled me to create a better life for myself.
I finally had the courage to do what was right for me which included ending my relationship and entering into a career which I find fulfilling and enjoyable. Without Renata I don’t think I would be were I am today and I continually use the skills that she taught me in times when life gets a little too hard.

When I started working with Renata I was a total mess, I had separated from my ex-husband and I felt totally lost. I was looking to get back to the person I was before I met him, I wanted to find who I really was. I had been part of a couple for so long I didn’t know who I was as an individual.
I had seen counsellors in the past through the NHS and through a work scheme and I felt like they didn’t understand me. I was worried that it would be the same again, but I never ever felt like that with Renata. In fact, sometimes I felt like she knew me better than I knew myself!
I was nervous the first few sessions, I’m somebody who takes time to build up trust of others. I had also built up my emotional walls over the years, they were so high that I was anxious about letting them down and showing any vulnerability. But Renata was very patient with me, she asked questions that helped ease information out of me and gave me the time I needed. I got to the point that I totally trusted Renata and she was the only person for a long time I felt comfortable talking to.
I came to the realisation that any version of me that came before was gone and trying to get back to that person was impossible. But that I could be a new version of myself, a totally fresh version of myself. I also understood that the process of dealing with depression and anxiety isn’t a straight forward one, it has ups and down and is an ongoing process. I am also working out how I can use my previous experience of mental health issues to help others. I plan to continue working with Renata to keep my mental health moving forward.
Renata, I can’t thank you enough for the support you gave me! You helped me find my way out of a thick fog of depression when I literally didn’t know which way to go.

Before we started to work together my life was very chaotic and my emotions were all over the place and I would often have feelings of anxiety and low self-esteem. By chance I found Renata. At first I was very apprehensive about therapy and speaking of my past. It’s safe to say I used to put other peoples feelings before my own and just give the impression that everything was ok. This was very far from the truth and often I was crying on the inside whilst smiling on the outside. I became the great pretender.
I think it is safe to say that I was anxious about what talking about myself and was worried what my feelings would unveil. I have always been scared to show my own emotions due to two past abusive relationships and abuse in my childhood. As well as power struggles within my home.
Renata was amazing. She made me feel so at ease and just allowed me to speak. Some sessions were very emotional and often I was left totally drained. She asked me all the right questions and it was actually really lovely to speak about myself. Something I have never done in the past. She was kind and remained professional at all times, always making sure I was ok before I left her.
I will never forget a saying she taught me. ‘I am the captain of my own ship’. So simple but I think of it all the time. The best result is I have learned my feelings are important and if I am not happy I need to address this. I am eternally grateful for the therapy she provided and it has made such a difference to my life.

Before I began therapy, I experienced my first panic attack—and at the time, I didn’t even know what it was. The feeling was overwhelming, unfamiliar, and honestly very scary. I had never dealt with anything like that before, and I felt completely lost.
I was hesitant about starting therapy. I didn’t fully understand how it could help, and I wasn’t sure if it was something I really needed or would benefit from and especially when you’re in the middle of emotional distress and don’t have a clear understanding of what’s happening to you.
Starting therapy with Renata turned out to be one of the most important decisions I’ve made for my mental well-being. It helped me understand my emotions, learn to manage anxiety, and build real tools for coping—and the hypnosis session, in particular, opened a new door to calm and clarity that I hadn’t expected.
The free consultation, that Renata offers, was a really good starting point. Renata asked me what had happened and took the time to really listen, which made me feel seen and understood right away. Renata also explained clearly what therapy would involve and what I could expect from the process, which helped ease a lot of my worries and confusion. It wasn’t rushed or overly formal—it felt supportive and informative, and it gave me the confidence to take that first step into therapy.
I wanted to thank you, Renata, for encouraging me to try the hypnosis session. At first, I was honestly confused and skeptical about the idea—I had a lot of misconceptions about what hypnosis actually is. But after going through the session, I was genuinely surprised by how calm and relaxed I felt. It wasn’t what I expected at all. It was simply a deeper state of relaxation, and I felt safe and in control the whole time. I really appreciate your guidance and patience in helping me take that step. It turned out to be a very positive and healing experience.

Years before I had started a transformational journey during which I felt the need to face my demons from my difficult childhood…then right before I found out about Renata offering counselling I was going through a rough and sudden breakup which again forced me to ask myself if I need a professional help trying to figure why certain things kept happening to me. I can say that in that very moment of me searching for professional help I was looking for myself, eager to find my truth and live in peace with myself once for all.
I might have felt strange at first, knowing that for the first time ever I was truly going to speak to someone so openly about what marked me for life…but after first moments of psychological distress I felt I was doing the right thing.
Renata gave me the choice to start from the past or from the latest experiences, and I chose to start from the origin of my uneasiness. So I went far back to my childhood …so many painful memories, I also had to hold my head a couple of times as the burden of those memories felt unbearable at times. And Renata was so professional but also incredibly human at the same time to give time to pull myself together. I could feel her closeness despite having to be detached and professional. Incredible. As the sessions went on and on I was feeling the change inside of me.
Renata made aware or reminded me that I am a fighter, and that I survived. All this time I have been a victim of my unresolved issues and this affected me and people around me, my choices and behaviours. With Renata I finally started to turn my life around, she helped me to turn my pain and weaknesses into my strength. These days I can still benefit from the months of therapy spent with her, I feel a new stronger woman, aware of who I am and determined to continue this way. It has been a totally unique experience and I can’t thank her enough.

I have always struggled with motivation to exercise and disliked most forms of exercise. I was doubtful that hypnotherapy would work but I was looking forward to it nonetheless.
I have found the whole process amazing and eye-opening. Talking through the issues has been helpful and therapeutical. Renata helped me to discover the link with exercise and my childhood, and explored my negative feeling towards exercise and learned behaviours associated with my childhood. Renata created my hypnotherapy treatment based on this and I found the treatment to be completely successful. I look at exercise in a different way now.
I feel much more freedom knowing that I enjoy exercise more and that I can achieve my goals of confidence, heightened self-esteem and weight loss and body toning with enjoyment. I feel like I am good at exercise now and I no longer feel self-conscious or embarrassed. It has given me energy and enrichment to my life.
