About Me

Hello, my name is Maha Amin. I am a counsellor and hypnotherapist based in Marylebone in the heart of London and South Woodford in East London. I also work online.

Whether it is anxiety, stress, depression, low self-esteem, the menopause , cultural issues, life pressures, lack of direction or something you cannot put into words, I am here for you.

I know it takes courage to see a therapist, but it is a step in the right direction. I provide counselling and hypnotherapy in a caring, supportive, positive and safe environment in which I help you understand your emotions and behaviour. This experience is empowering, allowing you to bring change to your life and to live more authentically.

Maha Amin, therapist in South Woodford, London

I have a private practice as a counsellor and hypnotherapist in Marylebone ( easily accessible from Mayfair and South Kensington) and South Woodford (easily accessible from East London).

I have also been working as a counsellor with Headstrong Counselling and worked as a child counsellor at Place2Be.

Prior to counselling, I worked in media, then as a teacher for almost 20 years, where the nature of the job involved supporting both children

and parents from different backgrounds. I have worked with people from diverse backgrounds and cultures, which I enjoy.

I ground myself through what I enjoy most: creativity and being in nature.

My Approach

I have a creative approach, offering a unique blend where both counselling and hypnotherapy can be used together or separately, depending on your particular needs. I offer therapy in English and Arabic.

Counselling

I am a pluralistic counsellor, which means that, as we are all different and our psychological difficulties may have various causes, I use the appropriate psychotherapeutic approach to work with you. The approaches I use are:

- Person-Centred counselling,

- CBT,

- Compassion Focused Therapy,

-Inner Child Work,

- Some elements of psychodynamic and existential counselling,

- Hypnotherapy,

- Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT),

- Mindfulness,

I adapt my approach to tailor the sessions according to your needs.

This is done in collaboration with you and at your own pace.

Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy is a normal state of total focused relaxation, which allows your thoughts to shift from your day to day life to your innermost thoughts and your subconscious. When I use hypnotherapy in our sessions, you reach that very relaxed state where we can work with the subconscious mind while under hypnosis. This can help find more clarity and insight.

Our behaviour patterns are created during our childhood. As we repeat them through our lives, they become normal to us. We may discover at some point that some of these patterns do not serve us any more. We can find it difficult to change these habits, but in fact, we CAN change these habits with counselling and hypnotherapy which bypasses our conscious state.

With hypnosis, you are changing your thinking and behaviour patterns. You are re-training your brain to make positive changes to your present and future.
