Welcome to Nova

At NOVA Clinical Hypnotherapy & Holistic Wellness, I help you tap into the power of your mind to create deep, lasting transformation.
I believe that true wellness is more than surface-level change — it’s about aligning with your authentic self and cultivating inner balance that radiates into every part of your life.


Through clinical hypnotherapy, Usui Reiki and Parasympathetic Activation treatments I help you live life from a place that feels empowered and balanced.

My Mission

At NOVA, my mission is to support people like you, who are tired of carrying it all - the pressure, the expectations, the overthinking and are ready to reconnect with who they are beneath it all.

I help you find calm, release what’s been holding you back, and rediscover your confidence, clarity, and balance — without having to be “perfect” to get there.

Meet your therapist

Hello! I am Amy and I am all about guiding you to be where you want - in thoughts, feelings, emotions and habits.

My passion for helping others began as a primary teacher, but when I found myself burnt-out, emotionally and mentally drained I turned to holistic therapies and fell in love with their power to make gentle transformation real.

Now I bring these to you.

I have helped people overcome a wide range of stress and anxiety related issues including:

  • General anxiety

  • Managing emotions (frustration, anger, sadness, apathy)

  • IBS symptoms

  • Needle, wasp and flying phobias

  • Driving anxiety

  • Low self-esteem

  • Recovering from work-related burnout

  • Relationship challenges

  • Sleep disturbances and nightmares

  • Exam stress

  • Stage performance confidence

  • Smoking cessation

If you have an issue you would like to discuss please don’t hesitate to contact me at novaholisticstudio@gmail.com.

As a clinical registered hypnotherapist, Usui reiki and holistic practitioner I want to guide you through the process of healing and transformation from the inside-out.

I trained with the UK Academy of Therapeutic Arts and Science and was awarded my accredited diploma in clinical and advanced hypnotherapy with the National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH) externally verified by NCFE (National Education & Training Authority). I am regulated and registered with the CNHC (Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council).

Sessions take place in my dedicated home studio in Alva near Stirling — a quiet, private therapy space completely separate from my living area. With calming garden views and an intentionally soothing environment, the studio is designed to help you feel relaxed, safe and supported, allowing you to step away from everyday demands and focus fully on your wellbeing. Online sessions are also available.

What my clients are saying…

    Heather K.

  • “I would recommend Amy who I found to be a compassionate, understanding and helpful therapist. She was able to help me identify my high level anxiety and provide tools and strategies to reduce and alleviate it. I feel much more in control of my emotions and my mindset”

    - J.B

  • “I had a lot going on — moving house, a new job, and menopause all at once. I was sceptical, but after three sessions with Amy, I felt calmer, more confident, and ready to take it all on. She’s amazing and so supportive. I’d recommend her to anyone.”

    - Whitney M.

  • “I’d tried everything to quit smoking, but nothing worked. My health was suffering, and I needed oxygen just to get through the day. After one session with Amy, I walked out a non-smoker — no cravings, no struggle. Six months later, I feel healthier, happier, and free. Amy has genuinely changed my life.”
    - Judith G.

  • “I’d struggled with a fear of swimming for years. After working with Amy, I was able to swim lengths and stay calm in the water — something I never imagined I could do at 68. My instructor was amazed at the change in my confidence!”

    - T.D.

  • “I booked an online Deep Relaxation session on Sunday night and it was amazing. I could literally feel my body letting go of tension, and I woke up after a full night’s sleep. I’d recommend it to anyone who struggles to switch off.”

    - Laura.

  • “I attended a virtual hypnotherapy session with Amy to help with sleep and stress after a busy work period. I was able to truly relax, felt peaceful throughout, and had the best night’s sleep in a long time. I can’t recommend Amy enough and will be booking in-person sessions too.”

    - Kate

  • “Amy is very professional, kind and understanding.
    After years of issues in my life I feel I’ve turned a corner, and I’m a totally different person. Thank you.”

    - Elizabeth C.

  • “Amy was super helpful with a number of issue, always friendly, kind, considerate putting me at ease and in the right frame of mind for hypnotherapy which has helped me overcome numerous health, confidence and work challenges.”

    -Rose

  • “Was a bit unsure about hypnotherapy before trying it but Amy was a great help in overcoming my fear of flying.”

    - Rory D.

  • “LITERALLY LIFE-CHANGING! Amy helped me overcome my fear of needles with steady, comfortable steps. Her guidance and discussions uncovered the root of my phobia and completely changed my perspective. I never thought I’d get through blood tests, but I did — and I 100% recommend her to anyone looking to overcome a fear!”

    - Sammi

  • I honestly can't thank Amy enough, the hypnosis had a positive impact but the therapy side really helped me to feel normal and understood. I am lucky to have support around me but having sessions with Amy allowed me to be completely raw and real with someone who genuinely understands. Having all the information about anxiety tailored to me and my experiences was also invaluable.

    -D.C.
