Integrative hypnotherapist and IEMT practitioner Mia Leijonstedt based in Derbyshire, UK
I help individuals move beyond anxiety, fears, limiting habits, and difficult past experiences, using proven methods that foster resilience, calm, and confidence.
My approach blends solution-focused hypnotherapy, Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT), and complementary brief therapy techniques to deliver results that are both effective and sustainable.
I specialise in working with issues such as:
- Confidence and self-esteem
- Overcoming negative memories and patterns
- Weight loss and self-image
- Anxiety and stress management
- Emotional regulation and resilience
My sessions are client-centred, collaborative, and designed to help you regain a sense of control and wellbeing in your life.
Why I do this work
I have always been deeply curious about how inner transformation creates outer change. For decades, I explored creativity as a pathway to personal growth. From early childhood, artistic expression became my way of finding calm and focus in a challenging environment – a notion that continues to inspire my work today: the idea that we can all shape and design our inner world, no matter what life presents.
My interest in the human mind has led me to study hypnosis, mental space psychology, metaphors and symbolism, as well as applied neuroscience. This knowledge underpins my therapeutic approach and my belief that everyone can develop greater emotional flexibility, build confidence, and create positive change.
I believe in compassion, collaboration, and empowering people to reconnect with their own inner resources. Life can be difficult, but with the right tools and support, it is possible to move forward with strength and clarity. My aim is to provide a safe, supportive space where meaningful change can happen.
Mia’s professional journey began in the arts, where she explored creativity as a powerful tool for personal transformation. Her work in book arts and jewellery design was never just about aesthetics, but has always carried a strong emphasis on the therapeutic benefits of creating. Through her creativity workshops, delivered since 1998 in the UK, Finland, and the UAE, Mia has helped individuals experience greater calm, focus, and emotional resilience through art-based practices.
In her explorations, Mia has developed a unique drawing process designed to help people connect with subconscious resources and generate solutions to challenges – a method she is passionate about evolving further within therapeutic settings.
This deep understanding of imagination as a healing force now forms the foundation of her work as an integrative hypnotherapist. Combined with certifications in Hypnotherapy, Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT), Coherent Breathwork, and Mindscaping, Mia brings a distinctive blend of creativity and neuroscience-informed techniques to support rapid, meaningful change.
Originally from Finland, Mia moved to the UK in 1993 and now lives Derbyshire, working with clients locally and online across the world.
