My Approach to Inner Child Therapy and Hypnotherapy in London and Online
My Approach
I know how scary it can feel to start a therapeutic journey, especially for the first time. Thoughts about delving into the past can seem daunting, and you might worry about feeling overwhelmed.
Maybe you’re afraid of uncovering painful forgotten memories, or that if you allow yourself to feel your emotions they won’t stop. These fears are natural, but hypnosis is a safe and gentle process and we’ll go at your pace.
I believe the emotional system heals in the same way as the body, it just needs the right conditions. Together, we’ll tend to your inner child parts with care, providing the nurturance they didn’t receive in childhood, helping your mind and nervous system learn to regulate.
You Are Not Alone
If you struggle to ask for help or feel like a burden to friends and loved ones, you don’t have to do this alone. I’m here to support you and you won’t be rushed, even if you find it hard to open up.
Therapy is a safe space where you can show up as yourself, without being judged or needing to pretend. I’ll be by your side, helping you create the changes you want in your life until you’ve reached your goals.
You don’t even need to know what your goals are or what you want in life yet. Your journey is unique, just like you are, and together we’ll help you find your own way. Let’s start with a call and see if we’re a good match and I’ll answer any questions you have.
Hypnotherapy London and Inner Child Therapy UK with Rowenna
With a background in teaching in secondary and adult education, I have always been called to helping people improve their lives.
My transition towards becoming a therapist started when I became aware of how intense levels of stress were affecting children and teachers at school (including myself).
Having experienced the benefits of therapy and meditation myself, I trained to teach mindfulness mediation to young people and school teachers.
The effects were so powerful, with one student overcoming acute OCD behaviours within just a few sessions. I was so moved by this and realised it was my life’s calling to help others change on a deep and personal level.
My Therapy Qualifications
I retrained as a Cognitive Hypnotherapist in 2018 with the Quest Institute, where I gained the level 4 Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma accreditation. In 2020 I worked for the NHS for over a year, becoming a certified Health Coach. I’ve also trained in the Post Induction Therapy model (PIT) having trained with The Meadows Behavioural Health Centre based in Arizona.
PIT is a trauma informed inner child focused therapy model developed by Pia Melody, designed to treat childhood trauma.
I also offer eye movement therapy using IEMT (Integral Eye Movement Therapy) for trauma treatment, and I am a registered FLOW clinic, offering tDCS for depression and anxiety. Find out more about FLOW tDCS here.
You can read more about my story here, or explore my different treatments using Inner Child Therapy and Hypnotherapy in London and worldwide online.

Hypnotherapy London and Inner Child Hypnosis FAQ's
What is Hypnotherapy and how does it work?
Hypnotherapy is a gentle, focused therapeutic approach that uses guided attention, visualisation to access unconscious beliefs and memories stored in the subconscious mind. With Cognitive Hypnotherapy we use light trance to work directly with the root cause of emotional challenges and memories that drive anxiety, low confidence, trauma responses and attachment difficulties.
You remain fully in control throughout the session. Hypnosis is not sleep or mind control, it is a natural state of focused attention that you move in and out of every day.
What issues can Hypnotherapy help with?
Specialising in Cognitive Hypnotherapy and Inner Child Hypnosis, I help clients overcome:
- Anxiety and panic attacks
- Low self-esteem, self-worth and confidence issues
- Childhood trauma and C-PTSD
- Attachment issues (anxious or avoidant patterns)
- Co-dependency and love addiction
- Addictions and compulsive behaviours
- Emotional regulation difficulties
- Imposter syndrome and blocks to success
- Self-sabotage and limiting self-beliefs such as “I’m not good enough”, “I don’t deserve” or “I’m unlovable”
- Neurodivergent struggles and burnout
If you are unsure whether hypnotherapy is right for your needs, I offer a free consultation to explore how we can work together.
Is Hypnotherapy safe?
Yes. When practised by a qualified professional, hypnotherapy is safe and evidence-informed.
You cannot be made to do anything against your will, and you can come out of hypnosis at any time. It is simply a natural state of focused awareness, similar to being absorbed in a book or daydream.
Can I be hypnotised if I am strong minded?
Hypnosis is a natural state of deep focus or attention, which we all drift in and out of every day. With Cognitive Hypnotherapy, we don’t rely on the depth of trance you can go into, as we prefer to work with lighter trance. You might have your eyes closed but you’ll be aware of everything you’re saying and doing. It might feel like a daydream or like you’re lost in thought.
There’s nothing magical or mysterious about hypnosis, it’s something you already know how to do but might not be aware you’re doing it. You’ve already hypnotised yourself about things you believe in and what you are capable of.
My job is just to help you do it in the way you already know how, in a way that helps shift unhelpful beliefs and create deep and lasting change.
What's the difference between Hypnotherapy and talking therapy?
Counselling primarily works at the conscious, thinking level. Hypnotherapy works directly with subconscious patterns, emotional memory and the nervous system.
Many clients come to me for hypnotherapy when:
- They understand their patterns but cannot shift them
- Insight alone has not created change
- They feel stuck repeating the same behaviours or relationship dynamics
Hypnotherapy often accelerates emotional breakthroughs, producing results that can take years with talk therapies within a few sessions.
How many Hypnotherapy sessions will I need?
This varies depending on your goals and history.
Clients typically experience significant improvements within 4–8 sessions. Deeper attachment wounds or complex trauma may require longer-term work, from 12 sessions to several months of weekly sessions to create lasting change.
During your consultation, we can discuss a tailored plan based on your needs.
Is there evidence that Hypnotherapy works?
Yes, research has shown that Hypnotherapy is a viable and effective form of treatment for a range of different issues. Hypnotherapy is recognised by the NHS as a beneficial form of treatment for many people.
In fact, one study into the effectiveness of Quest Cognitive Hypnotherapy for anxiety and depression, demonstrated a 71% success rate after 6 sessions. This compared with 41% after 6 sessions of talk therapies and CBT on the NHS.
Will I have to talk about or relive trauma?
Hypnotherapy allows us to work with the ways your problems show up in the present without having to delve so much into the details of the past.
There is usually a little talking to explore root causes and you can reveal as much or as little as you wish. Unlike talk therapies, we don’t spend our time analysing or making sense of your experiences, but focus on helping you resolve the emotional and physiological effects left behind.
Using Inner Child Hypnosis, we can help to reparent child parts of you that may still be affected by experiences, without needing clear memories or exploring details.
Does Hypnotherapy work for childhood trauma?
Yes. Hypnotherapy can be highly effective for childhood trauma because it works at the subconscious and neurobiological system where early experiences are stored.
Traditional talk therapy can provide insight, but trauma is often held in the body and nervous system. Working with a trauma informed Hypnotherapist can help you to safely process and resolve traumatic memories without re-traumatising you.
Many of my clients notice:
- Reduced emotional triggers
- Greater self-compassion
- Improved relationships
- A sense of inner safety
You can read more about childhood trauma and CPTSD on the PubMed website.
How do Hypnotherapy and inner child work go together?
Hypnotherapy and Inner Child Therapy work well together because they help us to understand how early life experiences are showing up in your present life.
By helping you find the internal resources to help child parts of you in ways you didn’t receive in childhood, you can heal old wounds and relieve insecurities.
Hypnosis helps you to access those child parts safely, and give you the tools you need to solve internal problems. This process helps build self-regulation skills that may have been lost in childhood, and create lasting change.
What happens in an inner child hypnosis session?
Sessions are collaborative and taken at your pace.
Typically, we will:
- Explore your history and current triggers
- Identify the younger parts of you that may be running areas of your life
- Use gentle hypnotic techniques to access and support those parts
- Reparent inner child parts and and resolve limiting beliefs
- Integrate and heal childhood hurts
- Strengthen and ground you in your adult self
Clients often describe feeling lighter, calmer and more able to self-regulate through stressful experiences.
Is Hypnotherapy trauma informed?
Cognitive Hypnotherapy is a trauma informed model which allows us to work safely with trauma and adverse experiences.
I am also trained in other models designed to work specifically with trauma such as Post Induction Therapy (PIT) and IEMT, as well as trauma based CPD trainings.
Do you offer Hypnotherapy in London or online?
Based in the UK, I offer hypnotherapy sessions online via Zoom, Skype or WhatsApp video call. I work with people all over London, UK and worldwide.
Online hypnotherapy is just as effective as in-person sessions and allows you to experience the work from the comfort of your own home.
How much is a Hypnotherapy session?
I offer single 1 hour sessions for £135 or you can take advantage of one of my package offers.
I aim to make my fees affordable to suit different budgets. My packages range from £255 for 2 sessions per month on a rolling basis (3 months minimum), or you can purchase blocks of 3, 6 or 12 sessions priced from £375 – £1445.
Can I get a refund if I have to cancel a session?
I have a 48 hour cancellation policy. You can get a full refund minus booking fees if you cancel up to 48 hours before the session. Cancellations and missed appointments that fall within this window will be reviewed on a case by case basis.
How do I start my Hypnotherapy journey?
The first step is free a consultation call where we explore:
- What you’re struggling with
- Your therapy goals
- Whether hypnotherapy and inner child work are right for you
