Hello, I'm Nova

Fast, effective relief from anxiety, stress and trauma—find calm, confidence & control

I'm here to help you break free from the emotional weight of anxiety, stress, and trauma. Using powerful tools like Havening Techniques and NLP, I guide my clients toward lasting emotional freedom and profound transformation. Many experience, life-changing results in just one session, rediscovering calm, confidence, and control.

But this isn’t just my profession—it’s my passion. My journey began with my own struggles. After facing personal trauma, grief, and life’s challenges, I discovered the incredible power of these techniques to heal and transform. I know firsthand how overwhelming it can feel to carry emotional pain, and that’s why I’m deeply committed to helping you find relief and thrive in every area of your life.

When we work together, you’ll receive my full attention and a personalised approach tailored to your unique needs. I work with a select number of clients each month to ensure you feel safe, supported, and empowered every step of the way.

Let’s take the first step toward your freedom together.

My journey: from rock bottom to your freedom

From corporate success to personal crisis, my journey has shaped my mission. For 13 years, I thrived as a Program Manager, leading large-scale projects. But in 2020, my life took an unexpected turn after a traumatic hospital experience with my mother. In the midst of this, my sister passed away from cancer, and my marriage ended in divorce. I hit rock bottom, physically, emotionally, and mentally.

The leap that changed everything

Amongst my struggles, I took a leap, literally by skydiving for Macmillan Cancer Support. That moment wasn’t just about raising money, it was about rediscovering my inner strength. It ignited a passion for understanding the mind’s power to overcome even the darkest moments and set me on a path to help others do the same.

Finding my calling through Havening Techniques

In September 2023, I took my first step into this new world by enrolling in the course and signing up for my first marathon with Breast Cancer Now. During my hypnotherapy training, I discovered Havening Techniques through Paul McKenna. I’ll never forget the moment I resolved a spider phobia in under 10 minutes- it was like a lightbulb went off. I knew I had to learn more.

Helping you find freedom and thrive

Captivated by the neuroscience and profound results of Havening Techniques, helping people recover from trauma, find relief from anxiety, and even support cancer patients, I knew I’d found my calling. This wasn’t just about learning a technique, it was about discovering my purpose. Since then, I’ve dedicated myself to mastering these tools and pushing my own limits, earning certifications as a Hypnotherapist, NLP Practitioner, and Havening Techniques Practitioner, while taking on challenges like the London Marathon to support causes close to my heart.

Because I’ve been through my own journey of healing, I understand how important it is to feel safe, supported, and understood. That’s why I’ve dedicated myself to creating a personalised approach that meets you where you are. Just because you’ve experienced pain or trauma, it doesn’t have to define your life. There’s a gentle, fast, and effective way to heal emotional distress, and I’m here to guide you every step of the way. If I can rebuild my life after everything I’ve been through, so can you.

Ready to leave anxiety, stress, trauma and pain behind?

Real people. Real results.

" My sleep has Improved "

" Having tried numerous therapies for a long standing issue, Havening was like nothing I had before. Since that time, my symptoms have lessened in severity, my sleep has improved and my nervous system is operating at a much lower level. "

- Mel

" Nothing short of remarkable "

" I experienced a fall which resulted in a multiple ankle fracture. After extensive recovery whilst I regained my pre-accident mobility, I continued to feel anxious when navigating stairs. After Havening, the results have been nothing short of remarkable. My nervousness and anxiety had dissipated, and I began to feel like my old self again. "

  • Ollie, my blind cat, inspires me daily with his unique perspective on life.

  • I enjoy doing muddy runs for charity, where I find a fun way to push my limits and help a great cause.

  • I ran my first marathon for Breast Cancer Now, completing it on legs that were almost broken and proving that a determined mind can overcome anything.

  • As a lifelong Tottenham Hotspur fan, I've mastered resilience, patience, and humour.
