Grounded in Science, Informed by Experience

Hello & a very warm welcome!

I’m Alev Zeki

RN, BSc (Hons), Dip CBH, AMACCPH

Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist

I hold a BSc First Class Hons in Nursing, a Masters level qualification in Clinical Leadership and a Higher Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy.

I am registered with the Nursing Midwifery Council (NMC) with over 20 years in clinical care with several years as a Lead supporting individuals through both physical & emotional recovery including work in high- pressured surgical & recovery settings.

Together with 17 years of experience in mind-body therapies, I bring a healthcare-informed approach grounded in professional standards and ethical care to my practice, integrating cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), clinical hypnotherapy and mindfulness as a structured, evidence-based approach. I am also a Registered Practitioner with the General Hypnotherapy Register (GHR), an Accredited Practitioner with the General hypnotherapy Standards Council (GHSC) and an Accredited Member of the ACCPH, a professional body for counsellors, coaches, psychotherapists and hypnotherapists.

Research shows that combining CBT with hypnotherapy can be up to 70% more effective than CBT alone. My goal is to help you achieve freedom from unhelpful habits, boost your confidence and discover your potential – empowering you to navigate life with greater clarity, lasting confidence, peace, and ease.

My approach is flexible and person-centred, tailored to your unique goals, needs, and values. I aim to provide a safe, inclusive, and responsive space that honours individual identity and lived experience—where you can feel seen, respected, and supported in creating real, lasting change.
