About me
Hi, I’m Lovena Vencatakistnen.
Decades ago, I couldn’t have imagined I would become a hypnotherapist, but my studies and training began in earnest after I experienced the life-changing benefits of psychotherapy and hypnotherapy firsthand. I knew I had to find a way to share this miraculous healing skill with others.
My background includes many years as an investment banker at London’s Canary Wharf, working for educational and environmental nonprofit charities in the US and UK, and decades of intensive training in both traditional and innovative forms of mindfulness and meditation.
As an Integral Psychotherapist, I believe hypnotherapy is the most effective means to create meaningful change at the level of the subconscious mind, where our deepest beliefs, habits, compulsions, and karmic patterns reside. Once such deep changes are made, I then work with clients using popular psychodynamic therapies, such as parts work, to foster deeper integration.
I’m here to help anyone who feels stuck in life, burdened by traumas, or simply seeks deeper meaning and personal transformation. You may be struggling with emotional wounds, anxiety, relationship challenges, and unresolved pain — or just want to break free from limiting beliefs that no longer serve your growth. Whether it’s healing from the past or creating a more purposeful future, I can help empower you to live a more fulfilling, authentic, and enjoyable life.
I hold a Certificate in Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy from the UK’s National College of Hypnosis and Psychotherapy (NCHP), as well as a Certificate in Past-Life Regression Therapy from the International School of Hypnosis and Regression Therapy (IS-HART). I’ve also been trained in Life Between Lives Spiritual Regression, Future-Life Progression, Inner Child and Ancestral Healing, Weight-Loss Hypnotherapy, IFS-style Parts Work, and Trauma Therapy. I’m a Registered Hypnotherapist with CNHC (the leading UK regulatory body for hypnotherapists), an Associate Member of the National Society of Talking Therapies, and a UKCP Trainee Member.
I'm here for you and look forward to working with you.

"Lovena takes you on a deep journey into your psyche to discover emotions and wisdom that would probably otherwise remain uncovered. Having never done hypnotherapy before, I was unsure how it would go. Lovena was able to guide me through the experience which felt safe while being full of surprises. The time absolutely flew by unawares, and I could feel the rawness of the experience for days afterwards. I did both a past life and future life progression. For me the future life progression helped me visualize a new home for my family that we were in the process of looking for and subsequently found. I would recommend Symphony Therapy for people like me that might be less willing to go to a traditional therapist."

Looking beneath the surface
Extensive meditative experience taught me that the human mind has depths that extend far beneath what we typically take for granted on the day-to-day surface of life. This understanding was only deepened by my studies of Carl Jung, Alfred Adler, Sigmund Freud, Karen Horney, Milton Erickson, Sri Aurobindo, Ken Wilber, and other pioneers of contemporary psychology. They all believed that what we usually think of as our “self” is just the tip of a rather vast iceberg.
My training in hypno-psychotherapy has convinced me — as it did Freud and Jung more than a century ago — that hypnosis is the single best tool available for peering below the surface of our ordinary mind and exploring that iceberg in careful, precise detail. The more journeys you take into your own inner depths, the more you may begin to feel a new sense of wholeness, depth, and clarity pervading your daily experience. Your relationships may improve, your old wounds and traumas may finally heal, and your sense of purpose and direction in life may become clearer than ever before. It’s certainly been my experience. And it could be yours too.
