Hypnotherapy in Hackney
My journey to becoming a Hypnotherapist
Hi, I’m Rowenna – a Cognitive Hypnotherapist and Inner Child Therapist based in Hackney, London, online. I help people overcome emotional struggles and self-worth issues based in childhood experiences.
Like many people, I’ve faced my fair share of challenges in life. I first found hypnotherapy when I was seeking ways to overcome my own fears and low self-esteem.
Having grown up in a dysfunctional home and experiencing grief trauma in my early years, I struggled with extreme anxiety and addictions later in life. You can read more about my story about growing up in Hackney and how I became a Hypnotherapist below.
I understand what it’s like to fear being rejected if people see the real you. Feeling like you have to fake confidence and hide your problems so that people like you, or to fit in, can be exhausting.
That’s why my approach is different. I focus on getting to know the real you and helping you find the confidence to show up as yourself. I’ll hold you safely on your journey, working at your pace and helping you to get comfortable in your own skin and trust in your value and self-worth.

My Story
Growing up in a dysfunctional childhood home myself, I know what it’s like to feel different. Having parents who struggled with their own mental health and addictions, meant I had to grow up fast and learn to look after my own needs.
Being undiagnosed dyslexic, also left me with beliefs about being stupid, less than others and that there was “something wrong with me”.
Unsurprisingly, I went off the rails in my teens and dropped out of high school. I spent many years partying and created an identity around drinking and drugs. It was all fun and games at the time until I realised I wanted more from life.
Struggling with extremely low self-esteem and having no qualifications, I felt unequipped to deal with life.
I pushed myself to enrol onto a college art course, but daily panic attacks and crippling social anxiety held me back from believing in myself when I reached university. My anxiety and low self-belief was so painful that I dropped out after the second year, confirming my fears of being a failure at life.
It wasn’t until a few years later that I found Hypnosis and NLP. The results I experienced were so profound I knew I wanted to help others in the same way.
Getting myself back into education in my 30’s and creating a successful teaching career, I decided to retrain as a Hypnotherapist in 2017.
I have now helped hundreds of other people overcome the crippling effects of anxiety, low self-worth and insecurity, struggles with relationships, addictions, childhood trauma and more.
How I came to offer Cognitive Hypnotherapy in Hackney
Moving to Hackney when I firs came to London as a teenager, East London became my home.
Having lived and professional experience as a teacher and therapist in such a diverse area, I know the different ways insecurities can show up, no matter what background you are from.
I now offer Hypnotherapy from my Hackney office, working with people all over the world online.
I have also gone on to train in other trauma therapies such as IEMT and PIT (find out more about my training below).
One thing I know from my lived and professional experience is that no matter where you’ve found yourself in life, with the right guidance and support it is possible to find recovery and heal all problems.

All my life I suffered with some mild depression, anxiety and low self-esteem linked to childhood wounds. I did quite a lot of talk therapy and although it has been helpful in making me aware of some patterns, it didn't really help me change my behaviour. I have been working with Rowenna for a few months now and the changes in my behaviour and thinking are truly mind-blowing. Our work around family dynamics , inherited emotions and attachement wounds has helped change how I operate in relationships and professionally. Since starting working with Rowenna I have more confidence and compassion for myself. Most importantly I no longer see myself as broken or as a failure and I'm more excited about life in general.
Rowenna helped me with some emotional challenges that I was facing, which related to both my personal and professional life. We had six sessions and made significant progress during that time, I noted a considerable shift in my mindset in all of the areas addressed, which rippled out to other parts of my life.
Rowenna is very supportive and quick to work to the root of issues. The cognitive hypnotherapy practice during our sessions was a very active approach that directly worked on the core beliefs holding me back.
I'd recommend working with Rowenna if you're looking for a therapeutic approach that can tackle the root causes of issues, head-on.
I've had two sessions with Rowenna and I must say that the sessions have helped me immensely already and I thought it would take a lot longer to address the things that we have been working on.
She has a warm, kind compassionate way which immediately puts one at ease.
I would 100% recommend Rowenna's Congnitive Hypnotherapy to anyone that would like to work through any traumas that they may be struggling with.
Thank you once again Rowenna
I’ve been visiting Rowenna for a few months now and can honestly say that after trying other types of therapy, cognitive hypnotherapy with Rowenna has helped me enormously. I was a bit sceptical at first, partly due to my previous experiences with therapy, but I went in with an open mind and noticed a possitive change after my first session, which became more and more obvious over the next few weeks and months. I feel so much more relaxed and confident and it feels so natural to feel like this now.
Rowenna is extremely good at what she does and can identify what it is that will help you after your first discussion. She’s really knowledgable in her field and has given me a good understanding of how cognitive hypnotherapy works. She also takes the time to create personalised recordings for you, which I listen to once or twice a day between sessions. Rowenna is understanding, knowledgable and very calming, and I really can’t recommend her enough. Tom.
After years of counselling/CBT therapy to no avail, I decided to try Hypnotherapy. I can confidently say, Rowenna has helped transform my life. I have had 4 sessions with her & after years of suffering with severe anxiety, I see light at the end of the tunnel. Rowenna's sensitive, calm and sympathetic nature made it easy for me to delve deeply into past trauma and to confront it head on with her assistance. If you're reading this thinking maybe the idea of Hypnotherapy isn't for you, I urge you to try it. Rowenna will guide you step by step with compassion and understanding. She's a super hero!
