Hema Vyas, is a qualified Psychologist and Hypnotherapist, who has specialised in many area’s including, interpersonal relationships, Psychoneuroimmunology, and advanced training in Emotional Intelligence.

What Hema say’s about herself.

I truly believe that this is my destiny; to be doing what I am doing. I believe that at the heart of each person there is pure gold – something so pure that it cannot be spoilt or tarnished; something that is indestructible. Each heart contains the unique wisdom to find our individual happiness, success and love and by uncovering this wisdom, we will find peace and joy that is our birthright. I work holistically, together with my clients to help them to become aware of any negative thoughts feelings and behaviours that may be keeping them stuck in patterns that are no longer serving them. I find that the process can be both painful and exhilarating at times, reflecting the highs and lows of life, but at the end the result is that of amazing freedom to chose the life they really want. My aim and intention is always to help them to acknowledge, accept and embrace all aspects of their lives; the people, situations and experiences, in a way that leads them to feel empowered and able to take personal responsibility for their lives. Creating the life they want.      

“In the West, the wizard is primarily thought to be a magician who practices Alchemy, turning base metal into gold ... but the word Alchemy is really a code word. It stands for turning human beings into gold, turning our base qualities of fear, ignorance, hatred and shame into the most precious stuff there is ... love and fulfilment. So a teacher who can teach you how to turn yourself into a free, loving person is by definition an Alchemist – and has always been one.”

I hope for each person I work with, individually or in a group, to be the ‘Alchemist’.

Testimonials

I started having sessions with Hema after having suffered some quite severe emotional problems with regard to my relationship with my ex-partner. I can honestly say that this period in my life was the lowest I had ever been. I was lucky enough to come across a truly exceptional therapist that is Hema Vyas. I'm not being a sensationalist! She really is an exceptional therapist and an amazing human being. In just a few sessions, I started to notice a difference in the way I was feeling, she helped me see things from a different point of view and in a different light. She helped me find my self esteem and found some long lost belief in my self and my life again. She has proved to me time and time again that nothing is impossible if you believe with your heart. (that one, I still struggle with from time to time!) I'm not trying to say that my life is perfect now, but I dread to think how much harder my life would have been without her help.

She is an Angel on earth.

Hema was referred to me by a good friend at a time in my life where I had reached some serious crossroads and was, for the first time, unsure of my future and unhappy about the impact of some of the decisions I had made.

I first met Hema in September 05, I was not entirely sure what to expect, I knew I needed help, I knew there were things in my life that were unresolved and having a negative impact on my life and future happiness.

The only way I can describe what happened at that first meeting and the next six months is something that is life changing and an effect that continues now and I hope will never leave me, I am happier now than I have ever been and I can only describe it as a true connection to myself that I had never touched before.

Its a sense of release and freedom that can only come from the individual and a gifted individual, to help you identify and clear the blocks, work on them until you find a sense of peace and resolve, and then what follows, and stays, is this amazing sense of joy and happiness, a light feeling of peace and clarity, I used to feel like I was flying, I still do.

Thank you Hema for everything you helped me achieve, I found the home I never thought I would, its a beautiful flat in the middle of a square, I feel safe and at peace here. I have the most wonderful friendships and love the people I am blessed to have in my life, and I am with a wonderful man who adores me and I think he is amazing.

I feel my time with you meant I really did open my heart to the world and ask lovingly for what I wished for and also knew I deserved, it worked, you are a pretty magical person Hema.

Thank you for you!

Since I started working with Hema a few years ago, she has helped me greatly in terms of improving the way I approach life's challenges and how I feel about myself in general. I was lacking in confidence in certain areas of my life, and was unhappy with the number of different opportunities I let go, due to different fears or insecurities. I did not want to go through life ruing missed opportunities, but I did not know how to, and did not feel
able, to change this pattern. She helped my identify the key areas that were affecting me, and then we focused in very tightly on them, until they started to go away!

It is quite a long but an extremely rewarding process that I would recommend to anyone who is concerned they will have regrets about their lives later on. I do not want any, and with Hema's help I am convinced I can achieve this goal.

Very simply, I find it very hard to imagine being in the situation I am now, with the sense of optimism I feel for the future, if I had not met Hema. She has enabled me to believe in myself so much more and to feel able to achieve that which I set my mind to.

The best decision I ever made’ It came at a time when I felt everything was going wrong in my life. I did not like anything; my work, my marriage, the country and city I was living in, all felt completely gloomy. With time I thought things would get better but nothing did, things got worst.

I came to a realisation that ‘all that was not right’, was in fact the world inside me, and hence I could not see any beauty around me. When I started to have physical symptoms of ill health and felt so fragile emotionally, I had the feeling that to get out of this state I needed help. Somebody who knew what I was going through, a person who knew well the labyrinth of the soul in which I had got lost.

I avoided taking this step for a very long time, I was afraid of something, but what? Myself!
At that time I felt I had only two choices, either kill myself to end the misery or clear up all that was inside me. The first option was not an option; committing suicide was going to cause tremendous pain to my loved ones, which I did not want. I considered myself a courageous person who always got out of messy situations. To clear up inside me felt like the right decision.

I was fortunate to meet a wonderful healer, Hema Vyas, who made me realise how much pain I had accumulated, and after having some good, relieving cries, we started to file away all those experiences to the right places inside my mind.

I had lots of surprises, issues I thought mattered were unimportant, and events I thought were meaningless affected me and influenced my behaviour greatly.

At the beginning, I felt my troubles were not subsiding, but I knew that all journeys start with small steps, and I was at a bottom of a hill. I knew I was getting to the top, and that all the work was going to have a lasting effect forever on my life. I was determined to become emotionally healthier that I had ever been before and not just back to .

My soul healer (sorry I don’t like the word therapist) and I achieved this state! I am now very happy, and I love living! I do have issues once in a while as life throws challenges, but now I know what to do about them. Most of all do not let them pile up again! Deal with them. I am proud of myself; I have done the work for myself to better myself! And as a bonus, I got to know ‘me’!

Since my journey to my soul, I have recommended all my friends and family to do a similar ‘soul cleaning’. If it were up to me, I would start this at schools and introduce regular sessions for all students to talk to a specialist about their inner self. The earlier the start the better.

We care so much about our physical health, regular exercise, good food etc but what about our soul? To me it starts there, at the soul level. The mind has the greatest power on our well-being.

I was having problems. I was unhappy, but could not discern between the symptoms and the causes, and I had not identified the triggers that were setting off my own demon bombs. Daily I was walking through minefields unaware, being emotionally battered from pillar to post and never seeing it coming.

This is not a good place to be. This is not an empowered place to be. I often felt inspired but more often I felt out of control.

The less in control of my life I felt, the more I abdicated further control by searching for answers outside of myself. The symptoms became the causes and the causes became something to be beaten, to battle through, to conquer or deny existed at all.

I resisted seeing Hema for a long time. I wasn’t comfortably numb, but a life out of balance was becoming comfortably habitual. It is amazing the level of pain we will tolerate in order to avoid the responsibility of change.

Hema works as a compassionate mirror, helping turn your forlorn searching shout out, into a non-judgemental reflection inward, to the infinite healing and wisdom that is our true self.

She works as a guide to the endless possibilities that exist always, possibilities that we so easily forget, ignore or choose not to believe in anymore. She helps take you on a journey back to your self, for when there and at peace, choice becomes limitless and all futures possible.

I would like to express my gratitude to Hema who 3 years ago helped me through a very difficult time in my life. Without her help I would still be unable to cope after a very difficult divorce. Having seen her for about 10 sessions, she managed to put things into perspective for me. Hema is a very understanding person, highly qualified in her job. I am very grateful to her and would highly recommend her to anybody who is in a difficult emotional situation.

Also I have always suffered from mild dyslexia which Hema has helped me to get over. This, after over 50 years of having this problem, is a real bonus! The simple exercise which she told me to do every day is well worth the little effort. I am extremely grateful to her.

I am going to be 40 this year. Without Hema’s help I would not be looking forward to this milestone. In fact, I had been told by consultants at an esteemed London hospital that I would not even make it to that age. I had been diagnosed with a serious ‘incurable’ neurological illness and had been battling with its effects and with thoughts of my future, if there was even to be such a thing. I saw no solution until I began working with Hema. That is really what the sessions with Hema are – work, working things out and working things in.

I had been referred to a psychologist before I saw Hema and had felt myself descending further into my sadness. However, after only one session with Hema, I was able to lift my head and glance towards the light of my future. Of course, talking over my feelings during our sessions was of great help but the benefits of the hypnotherapy element in each session can not be overstated. It was as if I were being washed in optimism, in positivism. I truly began to feel like ‘me’, not like the disguise I had worn for almost my entire life. I began to learn what and, more importantly, who is really significant for me, who would support me and of whom it was acceptable to let go.

I am happy now. I am well now. If you have a dream, go to see Hema; if you have a nightmare, go to see Hema. With the help that Hema can give, anything in the world is possible.
