Rachael Penaluna-Robertson SICH D.Hyp C.Hyp CNLP

I spent many years working in finance. Starting my career at Lafarge UK Pension Plan, I progressed to Finance Supervisor for Agility Logistics UK Ltd. Having decided to take some time out to look after my young family, my husband and I started our first business. Those are some sleepless nights and full on days I really do not miss! Once the business was up and running my husband took over full control enabling me to dedicate myself to something I felt more fulfilling. I’ve always had a natural tendency and a need to help others so I began my training in clinical hypnotherapy and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP). From there, Cheam Hypnotherapy was born.

My own journey – I began counselling when the stresses of motherhood, marriage and starting a new business left me feeling tired, stressed, anxious and not quite myself. The stress affected most aspects of my life including my marriage. We became wrapped up in the demands of life and began to lose focus on who we were and what was important.

Counselling gave me the space to look within and focus on me. I was able to discuss difficult thoughts and feelings, both past and present, and process those effectively so I could move forward happily.

I used hypnotherapy myself to stop smoking and to cure my insomnia, I know personally how easy it can be to change your life for the better. I’ve seen first hand the devastating effect anxiety, depression and addiction has had on those close me. It’s partly the reason I find myself here now.

I understand and appreciate how difficult it can be to open up and ask for help but more importantly I can say without hesitation that it can be the first step to taking back control and feeling much better within yourself.

Providing a confidential, non-judgemental and supportive approach is key when helping clients. ‘It’s complicated’ can be applied to most of us and this is why hypnotherapy & NLP can make such a huge difference. It can be crafted to each person for whatever problem for maximum benefit. I take time to listen so we can achieve the best results. After all, I am on your side and I’m here to support you.

I have a safe comfortable private treatment room in Cheam and there is plenty of parking nearby. Always thorough, we will begin our first session with a detailed questionnaire so we can get a full history from you. Once we have identified what the problems are, we can create a tailored approach and get to work. I love to see clients reach their goals and do so well.
