About Me

BABCP accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and Hypnotherapist

My name is Ileana, and I am a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and Hypnotherapist. In my clinical practice, I integrate the following modalities:

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Rational Emotive Behavioural Therapy (REBT)

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Mindfulness-Based CBT (MBCT)

Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)

Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT)

I am also a Cognitive Hypnotherapist, and I use hypnotherapy to enhance CBT results. By combing CBT with third-wave therapies, I am able to offer a comprehensive and personalised approach to treatment. This integration allows my clients to benefit from the strengths of these combined approaches. The upshot is a profound understanding of the obstacles in their way and a comprehensive, more holistic path to personal
growth and wellness.

I have a special interest in Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Complex PTSD, informed by my postgraduate studies in ‘Psychological Trauma and Personality Development’ at the University of Oxford.
