Renata is a highly qualified clinical hypnotherapist, published writer and speaker, with long and remarkable international academic and professional careers to her credit. After completing her Doctorate, she began practising hypnosis and regression in 1994 and since moving to the UK she has gained several formal British and American qualifications in Advanced Hypnotherapy and Counselling.
For nearly 40 years she has helped teenagers and adults to improve their lives and solve their problems while teaching in Colleges and in Adult Education in several different countries. She is now the director of her own successful private practice in North Harrow which she runs with the help of her husband Gary, where she offers one-to-one sessions, workshops and CDs/MP3s. She provides her clients with a dedicated, comprehensive choice of services for their physical, emotional and mental well-being, using a combined approach of Hypnotherapy, Conventional and Holistic NLP and Conventional and Holistic Counselling and Life Coaching, which makes her methods particularly effective and flexible for their most varied needs.
She is an experienced regressionist (Age and Past Life) and she has also trained with Dr Brain Weiss, the world-renowned authority in this field. She is conversant with advanced regression techniques which enable her to help her clients to get to the root of their problems and ensure long-lasting results (for more information about past life regression therapy please visit her dedicated website Footprints from the Past). She also specialises in Weight-Management, Stress Reduction, Stop-Smoking and Grief and Bereavement Counselling. With her caring, sympathetic and professional approach she has helped many people (mainly women) who have been victims of abuse to overcome their traumatic experience and build new, fulfilling lives.
She actively updates her expertise on an ongoing basis and she is fully insured. She belongs to some of the most prestigious national and international organisations in the field, regulated by a strict code of conduct where strict confidentiality is assured at all times. She is also the organiser and moderator of a Peer Support Group in North-West London for the General Hypnotherapy Register, the largest Association of Hypnotherapists in the UK.
Renata endeavours to provide support and guidance (via email and telephone) even after a client has left the premises, for as long as it benefits them. Her objective is always to provide a high quality bespoke service to those who put their trust in her, which is why she works only with a limited number of clients at any one time.
All her scripts are personalised, and you can be assured that they are created specifically for you and perfectly tailored to your problem and the causes that created it. We are all unique individuals with unique needs and unique solutions, and we know that having the same problem doesn’t mean that we can solve it in the same way. At The Apple Tree Renata will help your Subconscious to unleash your full potential.
All therapies are offered in English and Italian. Telephone sessions are available worldwide via Skype or conventional telephone connection. Renata is proud to say that she regularly has clients coming from all parts of the UK as well as many foreign clients from Europe, America and Asia.
Renata is passionate about her job and is committed to helping people improve their lives and discover their spirituality. Her clients and students find her inspirational.
Renata was born in the early 50s on the Italian Riviera near France where she graduated with honours (summa cum laude) in a branch of Linguistics in 1976. In the same year she moved to Padua, near Venice, and she began teaching in various colleges. Padua is a lively town with an international scholarly reputation, which hosts one of the oldest universities in the world, founded in 1222, and made famous by many illustrious scholars like Galileo - who taught there - and artists like Cimabue, Giotto, Donatello and Mantegna, to mention just a few.
While supporting herself with her teaching job she continued her studies and carried on her academic research, completing first a three-year Post-Graduate Specialisation in Modern Philology (Philology is the historical branch of Linguistics) with honours (summa cum laude), and then a PhD - partly prepared at the Sorbonne and Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris - in Neo-Latin Philology. She also qualified as a University Researcher in Italy and in France.
She has a sound academic background with more than 20 scholarly publications to her credit - including two essays which received excellent international reviews - and she is fluent in English, Italian and French. She has spoken at international congresses in Italy, France and Great Britain, and she has a lifetime’s experience in teaching and coaching in many different environments. She has been involved in numerous educational projects and curriculum settings; she has had tutoring responsibilities at her college and she also trained teachers and coaches, helping them to organise their seminars and courses. In 1996-97 she lectured in a Shanghai university on behalf of the Italian Foreign Office and she then moved to London, where she continues to live and work. In 1997 she graduated as a Reiki Master in Hong Kong.
Her research has been centred mainly on Symbolism with a special interest in Spirituality and History of Religions, which has led her towards Jungian psychology, the role of the Subconscious, and Hypnotherapy.
She suffered from psoriasis from the age of 12 and although doctors told her that it was a degenerative disease and could only get worse, she refused to believe them. In her early 20s she investigated alternative forms of healing, some very new and cutting-edge, using a holistic approach involving spirit, mind and body and she has been free from this disease for twenty years now.
She also does voluntary work for a British charity on a regular basis.
