About Me
Hi, I’m Angelika, a qualified and accredited Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist and Coach with over 10 years of experience in mental health and wellbeing. I support people experiencing anxiety, overthinking, panic, stress, burnout and challenges associated with ADHD and autism.
My approach combines evidence-based CBT with hypnotherapy, mindfulness and coaching to help you understand unhelpful patterns, develop practical coping strategies and feel calmer, more confident and in control.
Having navigated my own experiences of anxiety, trauma, perfectionism and people-pleasing, I understand how difficult it can be to feel overwhelmed or misunderstood. These experiences have shaped my compassionate, non-judgemental approach.
I believe you are the expert in your own life.
My role is to work alongside you, helping you understand yourself, build self-trust and make meaningful changes that feel right for you. You don't have to have all the answers. We can start wherever you are.
My Approach
Whether we’re working together through therapy or coaching, my approach is warm, compassionate, collaborative and tailored to you. I combine evidence-based techniques with a focus on the connection between your thoughts, emotions, behaviours and nervous system to help you understand unhelpful patterns and work towards meaningful change.
Drawing on CBT, hypnotherapy, mindfulness, psychology, coaching and compassion-focused approaches, I adapt our work to your needs and goals. This might involve managing anxiety, regulating stress, building confidence and self-trust, changing unhelpful habits or developing healthier routines.
My aim is to help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself, develop practical tools for everyday life and feel more confident navigating challenges, so you can move forward in a way that feels right for you.
My Experience & Background
With over 10 years’ experience across mental health and healthcare, I’ve supported people through a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, neurodivergence, personality disorders, abuse and complex life situations.
My background in Psychology, alongside qualifications in CBT, Hypnotherapy and Life Coaching, allows me to draw on both psychological understanding and practical approaches to change. I’ve worked across mental health and community settings, supporting people one-to-one and in groups through periods of crisis, recovery and significant life change.
I also have extensive experience supporting neurodivergent people and understand that traditional approaches don’t always work for everyone. I adapt my work to the individual, taking into account how you think, process information, experience the world and respond to stress.
Alongside my private practice, I currently work within the NHS as a Mental Health Support Coordinator, providing short-term emotional support and coaching-focused guidance. This combination of professional experience, therapeutic training and personal understanding allows me to offer support that is both informed and genuinely individual.
My aim is to help you feel understood, make meaningful changes and develop the confidence and tools to continue moving forward.
