Psychotherapy in London and online

For me, therapy is all about connection. Real healing begins when we feel seen, heard, and valued. This is what I aim to create in my work as a therapist - a relationship that truly nourishes and supports growth.

In everyday life, our mind and body are constantly tense, and as a result, we lose connection to ourselves and stop hearing the voice of our Soul. True emotional, mental, and energetic transformation happens only when we are relaxed - that’s why I give this so much attention in my work.

I use a gentle and personalised approach, blending methods such as Hypnotherapy, Psychotherapy, Counselling, Emotional Freedom Technique ( EFT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Body-Oriented Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Time Line Therapy, Jungian Dream Analysis, Existential Therapy, Transactional Analysis, Systemic Family Constellations to help you reconnect with your inner peace, wholeness, and joy.

My integrative approach to therapy enables me to address a wide range of issues - from psychosomatic symptoms, anxiety, and stress to relationship difficulties, self-esteem challenges, and personal growth. This approach often produces noticeable results from the very first session, allowing many clients to feel the difference right away - often achieving progress faster than traditional long-term therapy.

I am a registered member of the Hypnotherapy Directory and the National Hypnotherapy Society, and I adhere to their Code of Ethics.

If you feel called and ready to take the next step towards greater peace and freedom, I’d be honoured to walk this journey with you. You can book a session or schedule a free 20-minute consultation online to find out more.

Hypnotherapy

and NLP

Hypnotherapy is a gentle and natural process that helps you relax deeply and access the subconscious mind, where lasting change can take place.

In this calm state, you remain fully aware and in control, while positive suggestions help ease anxiety, fears, and unhelpful habits.

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) works with the connection between your thoughts, language, and behaviour, helping you reframe limiting patterns and build confidence. Together, these methods support healing from the inside out - creating calm, clarity, and emotional balance. Both approaches can help you move beyond fear and stress, towards greater peace and freedom in everyday life.

Inner-Child Work

Many of our adult struggles have deep roots in childhood experiences. Through gentle Inner Child work, we explore and heal old wounds that still influence your reactions, relationships, and self-image.

This process helps you reconnect with your natural joy, creativity, and sense of safety. It’s never too late to listen to, comfort, and heal your Inner Child - and to feel whole again.

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)

EFT focuses on the connection between mind and body to release stored fear, trauma and anxiety energy. Our sessions help individuals restore balance and resilience by addressing the psychological impact of past experiences and negative emotions. Learn about EFT here.

Anxiety

and phobias

Anxiety can feel overwhelming - but you don’t have to face it alone.

Whether it shows up as constant worry, panic attacks, or fears and phobias, together we can uncover what lies beneath and bring back a sense of calm and control.

In our sessions, you’ll have a safe space to breathe, explore, and reconnect with peace and inner wisdom and strength.
You deserve to feel calm, confident, and free - and your journey can begin today.

No Fear of Flying anymore

Many people feel anxious about flying, and for some, this fear can make travelling feel impossible.

It’s not just about the plane or turbulence - it’s often about feeling out of control or unsafe.

With gentle, supportive therapy, we can explore where this fear comes from and help your body and mind feel calm again.

When you reconnect with a sense of safety inside, flying can become easier - and even enjoyable.

Quit Smoking

Quitting smoking can be one of the most powerful steps you take towards better health and freedom.
Through hypnotherapy, we work with the subconscious mind to reduce cravings and change old habits gently and effectively.
This approach helps you feel calmer, more in control, and naturally less drawn to cigarettes.
You can finally breathe deeply again — with a sense of confidence and pride in your healthy choice.

Systemic Family Constellations

Systemic Family Constellations Therapy helps reveal and heal hidden dynamics within a family system that may unconsciously affect our lives today. Based on the work of Bert Hellinger, it shows how unresolved trauma and unspoken loyalties in previous generations can create patterns of pain or disconnection.

Through gentle exploration, we bring these hidden dynamics to light, allowing love and balance to be restored in the family system.

Family Constellations can be experienced in a group or in one-to-one setting, both offering deep insight and healing.
Many clients describe this work as profoundly transformative - helping them find peace, freedom, and a renewed sense of belonging.

EMDR Therapy

(Eye Movement Desensitization

and Reprocessing)

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a powerful therapeutic approach that helps people heal from trauma, anxiety, and distressing experiences. It works by gently stimulating the brain’s natural ability to process and integrate difficult memories. Through guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation, EMDR helps reduce the emotional intensity of past events. Many clients experience lasting relief and a renewed sense of calm, clarity, and control in their lives.

Stories of Healing and Transformation

I would highly recommend Nelly for reducing stress and anxiety relief. As soon as the session started I could feel my body and mind totally relax, which is quite difficult for me. During the session I felt a connection to my heart, and an internal ‘letting go’ that felt amazing. I did not want to end it. Nelly exudes warmth, empathy and understanding, a true ‘healer’. After it ended, I felt centred and balanced and could quite easily fall asleep, something had shifted deep inside and I could not wait for the next one! I have seen many healers over the years, but Nelly by far was the one that helped me the most.

I was really lucky to have Nelly working with me as a therapist both in person and through Skype. Our sessions were very emotional but reasonably brief and I’ve never heard from the problems that bothered me before the session ever since. The first issue we worked on was something done by a person who passed away very long ago. For obvious reasons this relationship could not be fixed by the parties but today I feel neither anger nor sorrow towards what happened back then or impact of that on the next years.

Another issue we worked on was a childhood emotional trauma which greatly influenced everything that has happened in my life later. Nelly made me look at the event in a way I could never imagined. After that session I was very surprised to discover that another issue probably rooted in the same event has been resolved without any efforts on my part.

I experienced hypnosis sessions with a number of North American hypnosis guru and noticed that Nelly is very skillfully balancing her client’s hypnosis depth on the level where subconscious changes are quick, efficient and comfortable to both mind and body.

Nelly has been blessed with a talent for empowering of her clients to open themselves towards natural healing. Her personality light coming from within, positivism and professional knowledge make us, her clients feel the change for the better from session to session and grow our confidence in brighter future no matter how serious the issue might be.

Family Constellations with Nelly has helped me so much. It’s true that everything in life comes when the student is ready. I truly believe I wouldn’t have been able to work through my relationship with my parents as deeply and meaningfully if it weren’t for her professionalism and guidance. The results of the constellation are still unfolding — and they’re incredible. It’s been helping me energetically, emotionally, and mentally. Just allowing myself to have a father has already brought profound change within me. I allowed it during the constellation, but this week I truly realized and accepted it. My relationship with my mother has also become much closer and warmer.

Olivia

I really enjoyed working with Nelly.

She helped me to look at my childhood and at my life differently. I used to feel anxious and frustrated and had a lot of self-doubt.

After several sessions with her I began to trust myself more and started to feel strong and confident about myself.

I met Nelly back in January 2021 through a mutual friend.

Like the most beautiful of encounters, it was also the most spontaneous one. Nelly welcomed me with an open and generous heart into an experiment that was not only foreign to me, but mostly terrifying - isn’t anything that requires to be vulnerable and truthful terrifying, anyway?

Describing my family constellation experience wouldn’t do justice to the intricate magic and unfiltered integrity of the process.

I’ll say this, though. There aren’t many places in this world that make us feel safe. Completely safe. It has undeniably become a rare occurrence nowadays. Nelly does that. She is a nurturer of safety and a detonator for change. She reminded me that worthiness of self was a conduct for growth and taught me that my own suffering never really belonged to me.

Nelly truly, truly cares and I am immensely grateful to have crossed her path.
