My own therapy journey started with a PhD in psychology, along with a certificate in counselling skills and a time volunteering for a telephone helpline supporting people with mental illness and their families.
This was back in London more than twenty years ago and those experiences taught me three things that underpin how I structure my therapy practice today:
1. The power of listening.
2. The need to create a safe space in which to explore, understand and transform our personal experience.
3. The importance of seeking help and not going it alone.
Psychoanalysis, hypnosis, hypnotherapy and regression therapy came in the decade that followed, both in terms of how I dealt with my own personal issues and how I became a practitioner determined to help others overcome the thoughts and patterns that keep you locked in a vicious cycle of unhappiness.
Inner child healing began then, and continues, to form the heart of my therapeutic practice. I work in English and French and offer sessions in person and online.
In concrete terms, my practice is now centred on:
2. How to get the rest you actually need.
3. Hypnosis to transform habits that cause harm and/or stop you fully enjoying your life, including hypnosis to stop smoking.
4. Inner child healing to resolve issues from the past that are causing issues today and hypnotherapy to provide guidance and insight on your life’s path (includes Future Life Progression).
5. Breakthrough afternoons to push through and transform a specific issue.
Sessions take place in person in Biel/Bienne or in Tramelan – or online for those who live further away - or who prefer to take sessions from home.
If we’ve not worked together before, we'll start with a free 15 minutes consultation before booking a session.
I look forward to meeting you!

Prices:
Note on prices: I live in Switzerland and my prices are in Swiss Francs. They are right for Switzerland but may be too high for those who live in countries with a lower cost of living than this beautiful country. I do offer a limited number of spaces per month at reduced rates for those on lower incomes or who live in places where sessions rates are much lower than here. Also, as payment is by STRIPE, you do have the option of paying in your own currency. Please contact me to know more.

''I am very grateful that Imane came into my life when I had a lot of uncertainty and negativity in my life and at a time when I felt confused about how to move forward in my life. My sessions with Imane allowed me to breakdown what was happening to me and shift the way I approach challenges in my life. Through each session, Imane was able to gently guide me to places in my mind that allowed me to let go of negative, harmful patterns that were causing me mental and physical pain. By unravelling memories and emotions, I was able to create a deeper sense of who I am and experience true joy, confidence and passion. I feel anchored and supported each time I have a session with Imane and I value the warm kind-hearted way that Imane approaches each of her sessions. Everything in my life has changed for the better.''

''Before Imane’s sessions, I was terrified of getting vaccinated because of my fear of needles. Just thinking about it made me squirm. However, as we progressed with the sessions, I gradually became more and more comfortable with the idea. So much so that when it was my turn to take the vaccine, I was completely relaxed and didn’t even think twice before walking into the clinic. Thank you, Imane!''

''Imane is a professional whom I trust deeply. Her empathic, sensitive work is profound and accompanied by unconditional love.
The hypnosis she performs feels like a gentle starlight. I was conscious the whole time and yet in a state where my subconscious could open up those areas within me that needed to be healed. Her energy work with crystals created a flow within me in areas of my body that were previously blocked.
I highly recommend Imane and her work, and I have to say it is a big step for me to trust someone and let them work on me and my body. I would have Imane work on me again anytime because she is a true professional coupled with intuitive knowledge that goes beyond normal therapy.''

''I decided to book a session with Imane after struggling with depression and anxiety (especially agoraphobia) for quite some time. I felt trapped in my own thoughts and emotions, and despite trying various methods, nothing seemed to help. I had heard about hypnotherapy and regression therapy before and was curious to see if it could offer the breakthrough I needed. Before my session, I felt overwhelmed, lost, and hopeless, unsure if anything could truly help me feel better.
From the moment I met Imane, I knew I was in the right place. Her warm, kind, and compassionate demeanor immediately put me at ease. It’s rare to meet someone who genuinely cares so deeply about their clients, and it was clear that she brings not only her professional expertise but also her heart into her work. Her guidance felt both grounded and incredibly supportive.
During the five-hour session (a breakthrough afternoon), Imane skillfully guided me through a regression process that felt deeply healing. She helped me access memories and emotions I hadn’t been fully aware of, creating space for understanding and release. The therapy also had a spiritual component that I found profoundly moving, helping me connect with a sense of greater purpose and clarity. The session itself was very intense but, in the end, incredibly relaxing. I was amazed at how deeply I was able to connect with my subconscious mind and let go of old patterns that had been holding me back.
Afterward, I felt lighter, more grounded, and more at peace. It was as if a weight had been lifted off my chest—almost literally, physically. The emotional tension I had been carrying for so long seemed to dissolve. I left the session feeling physically exhausted but deeply peaceful and at ease, and it gave me a renewed perspective and the strength to move forward.
Part of the therapy included a follow-up session a month later, which allowed me to deepen the work we had started. This continuity was invaluable, as it gave me time to reflect on the initial session and come back with insights and readiness to explore further. The follow-up helped solidify the changes and brought even more clarity and balance into my life.
If you're considering booking a session with Imane, I highly recommend it. The experience has been life-changing, and I now feel empowered, hopeful, and largely free of past struggles. If you're dealing with anxiety, depression, and are open to exploring both therapeutic and spiritual growth, this could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.''
