What I help with

The work happens between your ears.

FlagshipSport Performance

The technical work is done.
What's stopping you isn't physical.

You've got the swing, the splits, the fitness. The choke, the doubt and the third-set collapse all live in the six inches between your ears. We rewire that. Most sport clients see a measurable shift in 4-6 sessions.

Other specialisms

Confidence & Self-Belief

Confidence isn't a personality you're born with. It's a pattern your brain has learned. We work on the specific moments where you currently shrink, and rebuild what your brain does in them.

  • Public speaking & presentations
  • Social confidence
  • Imposter syndrome
  • Self-worth & identity

For mums & healthcare workers

For the people who hold everyone else together.

Stressed mums, especially of children with additional needs, and the nurses and healthcare workers who give everything to other people. Having taught children with special educational needs myself, this work is close to my heart. You spend your days holding it together for everyone else. This is the hour that's just for you.

The mental load

The invisible list that never switches off. We work on the part of you that can never quite put it down.

Running on empty

Giving everything to everyone else, with nothing left for you. We rebuild the reserves.

The guilt

The guilt that arrives the moment you do something for yourself. We loosen its grip.

No off switch

Lying awake replaying the day and bracing for tomorrow. We quiet the racing mind.

The process

Simple steps to lasting change.

Here's what working together looks like, from your first call through to feeling like yourself again.

01

Free Discovery Call

A free 15-20 minute phone call. We talk through what you'd like to change and check that hypnotherapy is the right fit for you. No pressure either way.

02

Initial Consultation

A fuller conversation: your history, your goal and a plan built around it. If there's time, I'll introduce you to hypnosis so you know exactly what to expect.

03

Your Sessions

We work through your plan together, in-person at my Southend practice or online from anywhere in the UK. Most people need 4-6 sessions, each around an hour.

04

Real Results

Improved performance, confidence and calm. Tools that outlast the sessions.

What clients say

Real change, in their words.

Real clients, in their own words and shared with their permission.

★★★★★
I couldn't take my game from the practice ground onto the course, and I'd get anxious and over-excited in competition, so the best version of me never turned up. Now I feel calm and considered out there. I've drawn on our sessions to turn losing matches into wins. My confidence has grown and I'm enjoying golf again.

About

I work with people who are technically brilliant and mentally in their own way.

I'm Magda Velleman, BSc Psychology, Dip Hyp CS, MHS. I practise integrative, solution-focused hypnotherapy with elements of NLP and CBT, from my practice in Southend-on-Sea or online wherever you are in the UK.

I came to this work because I saw what it could do. When my six-year-old daughter was struggling with night terrors, a hypnotherapist helped her through them. Around the same time I'd been carrying years of nightmares about dying. A skilled hypnotherapist traced them back to the loss of my Nan, and after one session, they stopped.

Before this I worked in primary schools with children with special educational needs, mostly autism, and my background is in psychology. After becoming a mum I retrained as a hypnotherapist, because I'd felt first-hand how much it can change a life, and I wanted to do that for other people.

My work is one-to-one and built around your specific goal, never a generic script. Whether you want to perform under pressure, quiet an anxious mind or simply feel more like yourself, we start with a free 20-minute discovery call, a conversation about what you'd like to change.

Questions

Common questions, honest answers.

No. Hypnosis is a relaxed, focused state, closer to being absorbed in a film than being asleep. You'll hear everything, remember everything, and you're in charge throughout. You can stop at any time.

Still got questions?

The free 20-minute call is for exactly this. No script, no pitch.
