About Ermina

Ermina is a Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist and therapist specialising in high performance, stress and burnout, major life transitions, and the psychological challenges of divorce and post-divorce life.

Her clients include CEOs, founders, senior professionals, surgeons, actors, creatives and other high-performing individuals who may appear highly capable on the outside while privately navigating significant pressure, stress, self-doubt or change.

Ermina's approach combines Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), hypnotherapy and mental imagery to help clients understand and change the patterns of thinking, emotion and behaviour that may be holding them back. Her work is practical, highly individualised and focused not only on overcoming difficulties, but on helping people function and perform at their best.

​

High Performance, Leadership & Burnout

Success does not make people immune to psychological pressure. In fact, high performers can become particularly skilled at functioning under levels of stress that are ultimately unsustainable.

Ermina works with leaders, entrepreneurs and professionals experiencing high levels of responsibility, pressure, burnout, loss of motivation or confidence, helping them develop greater emotional regulation, resilience and clarity.

Her work also supports individuals who want to enhance performance rather than address a specific problem — including confidence, focus, decision-making, public speaking, assertiveness and performing effectively under pressure.

Having spent many years in commercial and marketing environments before moving into therapeutic practice, Ermina understands the demands, expectations and pressures that can accompany ambitious professional lives.

​

Divorce, Life After Divorce & Co-Parenting

Divorce is not simply a legal process. It can affect almost every aspect of a person's life — their emotional wellbeing, identity, family, home, finances, career, relationships and expectations for the future.

Increasingly through her work, Ermina has encountered people struggling not only with the stress of divorce itself, but with how to manage the significant changes and challenges that continue long after the legal process has ended.

This has become a particular area of focus within her practice.

Ermina supports clients in managing the psychological impact of separation and divorce, including stress, anxiety, uncertainty, loss, anger, confidence and the emotional demands of making important decisions during an already difficult period.

Her work extends into post-divorce life — helping clients adjust to a new reality, rebuild their identity and confidence, establish new routines and relationships, and move from simply coping with what happened towards creating a fulfilling next chapter.

Where children are involved, divorce can also mean establishing an entirely new relationship with a former partner: co-parenting.

The legal relationship may have ended, but the parenting relationship can continue for many years. Communication, boundaries, different parenting approaches, handovers, holidays, new partners and changing family dynamics can all create ongoing emotional pressure.

Ermina helps clients manage their own emotional responses, establish healthier psychological boundaries and develop more constructive ways of navigating the realities of co-parenting, while keeping the wellbeing of both themselves and their children in mind.

​

Navigating Change

Whether the challenge is professional or personal, much of Ermina's work centres around one fundamental question:

How do we respond effectively when life places us under pressure or requires us to change?

For some clients, this means recovering from burnout. For others, it means becoming a more confident leader, overcoming anxiety, navigating divorce, rebuilding after a major life transition or simply recognising that the strategies which brought them this far are no longer serving them.

Using CBT, hypnotherapy and mental imagery, Ermina helps clients identify unhelpful patterns, develop new psychological strategies and access the internal resources required to move forward.

The aim is not simply to feel better temporarily, but to create meaningful and sustainable change.

​

A Different Approach to Therapy

Ermina believes therapy can be both compassionate and highly practical.

Clients are given strategies they can apply outside the therapy room — whether preparing for an important presentation, managing an overwhelming period at work, responding to a difficult situation, navigating co-parenting communication or rebuilding their life following divorce.

Her work is informed by her background in psychology, Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy and many years working within commercial environments, alongside experience supporting individuals from a wide range of professional and personal backgrounds.

She has also worked with Mind Islington and delivered mental-health programmes for NGOs supporting refugee communities across Europe.

Ermina works with clients who are ready to understand themselves differently, change patterns that are no longer serving them and approach the next stage of their lives with greater confidence, clarity and resilience.
