About Me
I passionately believe in the power of hypnotherapy.
Having tried all the things in my twenties; willpower, talking therapy, reading every self-help book ever written, listening to Ted talks and endless Podcasts, expensive courses etc nothing in my life changed, and that just left me increasingly, anxious and depressed.
As the brilliant Gabor Maté explains in The Myth of Normal,
“Trauma, until we work it through, keeps us stuck in the past, robbing us of the present moment's riches, limiting who we can be. By impelling us to suppress hurt and unwanted parts of the psyche, it fragments the self. Until seen and acknowledged, it is also a barrier to growth.”
Frustrated and exhausted, I was incredibly lucky to find a hypnotherapist who helped me make the breakthrough I so desperately needed by supporting me as we updated my story. By going back and exploring my past, I finally understood who I was and how my environment had shaped me. I learned to feel deep compassion for what I experienced and genuinely began to enjoy and like myself.
Lastly, I saw clearly, how so much of what I had downloaded from my family about who I was and my place in the world, was not the whole truth. Far from it!. In reality, so much of it was a lot of distortion, manipulation and lies.
Understanding this on an emotional level was incredibly healing and genuinely life changing. Once I felt this deep shift, this freedom, I wanted everyone who was suffering to feel the same way. The difference was so powerful that I left my career in advertising to train as a Hypnotherapist.
I don’t believe we need to suffer endlessly. I believe change can happen quickly and although this view is controversial, the latest scientific research supports the idea! Over the last 15 years, I have witnessed my clients’ profound transformations again and again. I want the same for you!
“I now see how owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we will ever do.”
A combination of training at the highest level and my experience over 16 years has equipped me to help people overcome their fears and make empowering changes to their unconscious programming in hours rather than months or years.
I use a mix of different elements in my therapy. It’s a highly tailored, flexible, brief, solution-focused, client-centred approach that incorporates tools and techniques derived from a wide range of successfully proven therapies including: Clinical Hypnotherapy, NLP, CBT, Gestalt, RTT and Psychotherapy.

I was lucky enough to work at Hestia, the International Centre for Psychotherapy in central Barcelona for 2 years.

Working with Amita has to be the best decision I have made in a very long time.
If you don’t put the work in there’s no point in going and I can PROMISE you this IT WORKS. I had three sessions with Amita and it has changed me profoundly. I still have some listening to do, and daily habit breaking but I am focussed and love the results.
I highly recommend Amita whole heartedly. What comes up you already knew, it was just buried somewhere.
