Client Feedback

Authentic client experiences and testimonials

Ilona is an exceptional therapist who created a safe, non-judgmental space for personal growth. Her compassionate approach helped me work through family-related challenges and anxiety.

Her expertise in hypnotherapy was particularly effective, providing a gentle yet powerful tool for releasing old patterns and enhancing self-worth. Through our sessions, including therapeutic techniques, I've experienced significant positive changes - from better self-acceptance to feeling more confident in pursuing activities like solo travel.

Her professional guidance has helped me develop healthier perspectives. I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking supportive, transformative therapy.

I've been in therapy for just over four months, my first therapist while he was good, I felt he didn't get me or understand where I was coming from so I switched therapist and found Ilona. Within the three months of us working together I have felt the benefits and wisdom from our sessions, I have also seen a considerable change within the way I act and respond to situations along with having a better understanding of myself and more importantly, my emotional health.

Ilona is a great listener and has this ability to see in others what they do not see themselves, at the end of every session I come away with a deeper understanding. I am grateful for Ilona knowledge, insight, wisdom and peaceful energy. Ilona is a credit to her profession and truly an amazing therapist.

I started therapy few months ago with Ilona and I am very pleased with it. It’s the very first time for me, so I was a bit stressed before to start but she makes me feel welcome and at ease.

We are working with EMDR sessions about past trauma event and this technique is very helpful for me. I can recommend Ilona because she is a really good listener, non judgemental, kind and calm with a lot of empathy.Thank you so much for your help

My time with Ilona can be described as nothing but meaningful. She was respectful and open minded, she encouraged me to explore different ideas and also understand why those ideas appealed to me.

She always seemed to ask the right question at the right time, which allowed me to understand myself better. I looked forward to our sessions in a way I haven't been with previous therapists. I felt she understood the issues I was dealing with, and patiently guided me in the right direction.

I would recommend Ilona to anyone because she has a sympathetic ear and a breadth of knowledge. Thanks for everything Ilona, you helped me see myself in a different light!

FAQ's

Here are some common questions about my counselling services and approaches.

See all FAQs

What is EMDR therapy?

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a therapeutic approach designed to alleviate distress associated with traumatic memories that takes the emotional charge off emotional, visual and auditory flashbacks. It involves guided eye movements to help process and integrate these memories. This method fosters resilience and promotes healing.

How does hypnotherapy work?

Hypnotherapy works by inducing a relaxed state that allows you to access your subconscious mind. This can help uncover underlying issues and facilitate healing. Another way of using hypnosis is through the relaxed state to "feed" the subconscious with empowering messages or metaphors and analogies. It's a powerful way of planting a seed of change and reprogramming the unconscious mind.

Is counselling right for me?

Counselling can be beneficial for anyone seeking support with emotional challenges, trauma, or personal growth and help you conquer limiting beliefs. It provides a safe space to explore your feelings and experiences. If you are ready to engage in your healing journey, counselling may be the right choice for you.

What should I expect?

During our sessions, you can expect a compassionate and non-judgmental environment. We will work together to identify your goals and explore the challenges you face. My aim is to support you in a way that feels comfortable and empowering.

How long are sessions?

Sessions are 50 minutes long, giving us plenty of space for meaningful conversation and reflection. Most people choose to meet weekly to maintain a steady rhythm of progress.

I also offer a four-week programme, the Inner Child Programme, designed for those who already have some experience with self-development.

Together, we’ll explore what feels right for you and shape an approach that supports your unique healing journey.
