I’m Dr Paulina Trevena (PhD - not MD!), a certified hypnotherapist and ADHD coach specialising in aphantasia and ADHD. As someone with both these differences (and SDAM - Severely Deficient Autobiographical Memory on top!), I understand our unique brains and challenges in accessing therapy first-hand. I help clients calm anxiety, break unhelpful patterns, and build confidence using tailored hypnotherapy, coaching, and mind-body techniques. My goal is simple: to empower you to live happier.

Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist
Hello!
I'm Dr Paulina Trevena (PhD, not MD!) — a certified hypnotherapist and ADHD coach. I have aphantasia and ADHD myself (plus SDAM), and I specialise in supporting people with unique minds like ours. I'll help you overcome whatever's holding you back so you can achieve your goals. My mission is simple: to help you live a calmer, happier, more confident life.


What do I help with?
I can help you overcome:
  • Negative thinking
  • Stress, anxiety, fears & phobias
  • Unwanted habits
  • Low self-esteem
  • Limiting beliefs …and build the confidence to pursue the life you want!
My aim is to empower you to become the best version of yourself. Yes, you CAN change - aphantasia is not a barrier to this.


How do I work?
Every person is different so I adjust my techniques to suit you. I draw from a range of approaches, including:
  • Hypnotherapy
  • Coaching
  • NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming)
  • EFT tapping (Emotional Freedom Technique)
  • IEMT (Integral Eye-Movement Therapy)
  • Breathwork
…and whatever else works best for you.


How does hypnosis work?
Some people are unsure about hypnosis. They worry it's about someone taking control of their mind.
In fact, it's the opposite. Hypnosis is a safe, natural way of regaining control over your emotions and perceptions. It's a powerful, efficient tool for change.
Through hypnosis, I help you focus on what you want to achieve and use your imagination to make that change possible. You remain fully aware, able to respond, and in control at all times.
I'm your guide in the process — but it's you who makes the changes.
Oh, and yes — hypnosis works brilliantly online!

Why work with me?
Because I love helping people create the changes they truly want and I'd love to help YOU do just that❤️ Because I have a deep understanding of both aphantasia and ADHD - and believe me, many of us have both these differences! I often come across aphantasics who think certain difficulties they're experiencing are are down to their aphantasia - when in fact these are ADHD traits. Because as an ex-academic researcher turned hypnotherapist, I bring together evidence-based knowledge and practical tools. I also do research into aphantasia and hypnosis, am an international speaker on the topic, and train other hypnotherapists on how to work effectively with aphantasic clients.
I love supporting and connecting with other aphantasics. You're welcome to join my free community on FB and follow my YT channel! 🌍Facebook group: Aphantasia World with Dr Paulina Trevena
