What is Sacred Alchemy?

Sacred Alchemy is Alexia's own approach to inner work, drawing together Ericksonian hypnosis, shamanic practice, NLP, and Jungian depth psychology. It works with the idea that everything a person thinks, feels, and does is communicating something, and the work is learning to understand that language. Sacred Alchemy is the approach she uses in every 1:1 session, and the approach she teaches at Foundation and Advanced level through her practitioner training.

  • I combine clinical hypnotherapy, Ericksonian hypnosis, Jungian depth psychology, shamanic practice and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, my work explores the deeper psychological, emotional and symbolic patterns that shape a person's life. This integrated approach is known as Sacred Alchemy and underpins all of my one-to-one work and practitioner training

  • What makes Sacred Alchemy different from traditional hypnotherapy?

    Traditional hypnotherapy often focuses on resolving a specific problem or symptom. Sacred Alchemy goes further by exploring the deeper patterns beneath anxiety, trauma, self-sabotage, grief and emotional distress. It integrates hypnosis with Jungian psychology, shamanic practice and NLP to support lasting personal transformation rather than simply symptom management.

  • Is hypnotherapy evidence-based?

    Yes. Clinical hypnotherapy has been studied for a range of psychological and physical conditions, although evidence varies depending on the issue being treated. In my practice, hypnosis is one part of a broader integrative approach that also draws on psychological understanding, relational work and individualised therapeutic processes.

  • Yes.

    Many people seek my support for anxiety, trauma, grief, low self-worth, relationship patterns, burnout, spiritual crisis and life transitions. Rather than focusing only on symptom relief, we explore the underlying causes and work towards sustainable change.

  • Jungian depth psychology is an approach developed from the work of Carl Jung. It explores the unconscious mind through dreams, archetypes, symbols, mythology and imagination. Rather than simply asking how to remove symptoms, it asks what those symptoms may be expressing about the deeper psyche.

  • No.

    Many people who work with me have no spiritual beliefs at all. Others come from deeply spiritual backgrounds. Sacred Alchemy is always adapted to the individual. My role is not to encourage any belief system but to help you understand yourself more deeply using approaches that fit your worldview.

  • Yes.

    Around half of my work now takes place online with clients throughout the UK and internationally. Online sessions are just as personal and are suitable for most of the issues I work with.

  • Yes.

    Clinical hypnosis is a safe therapeutic process when practised by a suitably trained professional. You remain aware throughout, cannot be made to do anything against your values and are free to stop the process at any point.

  • There is no standard number because every person and every story is different. Some people come for a specific issue and achieve meaningful change within a handful of sessions. Others choose longer-term work to explore lifelong patterns and deeper personal transformation.

  • Shamanic practice is one of humanity's oldest approaches to healing and personal transformation. Within Sacred Alchemy it is integrated thoughtfully alongside modern psychology and hypnotherapy, using symbolism, imagination and ritual where appropriate. It complements rather than replaces psychological or medical care.
