My Story

Tanya Hough

Welcome to my website - I'm so glad you're here!

Before we begin working together, I’d love to share a little about myself, so you can get a real sense of who I am and how I work. The connection between therapist and client is at the heart of any successful therapy. It’s a partnership — and the energy between us truly matters. You need to feel safe, heard, and supported. You deserve to know that you're in the hands of someone who understands you and who you can trust completely. That’s why creating a warm, open, and respectful space is always my first priority.

My Story:

I’m Tanya — a warm-hearted, down-to-earth practitioner with a deep love for people, a lifetime of lived experience, and a heartfelt passion for helping others heal, grow, and thrive. I bring empathy, and a touch of humour to every session — because healing doesn’t have to be heavy, and you don’t have to go through it alone.

I was raised in the vibrant city of Hong Kong by my incredible single mother. Life wasn’t always easy — I spent long stretches of time on my own and often felt the ache of loneliness, self-doubt, and confusion around myidentity.

Those early experiences — being of mixed ethnicity, growing up without a father figure, and feeling emotionally unseen —shaped me in powerful ways. While they brought challenges, they also sparked a deep desire to understand human nature and what drives us — a curiosity that has guided me throughout my life.

In my twenties, I started my own business and went on to spend 30 years in the corporate world, working in a high-pressure, people-focused industry. The work was demanding, but it taught me how to connect with others on a deep level, how to listen between the lines, and how to support people through some of their most stressful moments. But as I focused on meeting everyone else’s needs, I ignored my own. The constant drive to perform eventually led to burnout and a panic attack that forced me to re-evaluate everything.

That moment became a turning point — the start of a deeper journey where I finally began to prioritise self-care and emotional well-being. Along the way, I developed core life skills that now shape everything I do: understanding stress, identity, reinvention, and the emotional weight of life’s crossroads. Through therapy, personal growth, and honest reflection, I didn’t just heal — I found clarity, purpose, and a genuine calling to help others navigate their own turning points with compassion and confidence.

Today, as a Hypnotherapist, Mindset Mentor, and Holistic Wellness Practitioner, I bring my maturity, lived experience, and deep emotional insight into every session. I offer a safe, compassionate space for you to explore what’s been holding you back and step into the life you were always meant to live.

If something here resonates, I’d love to walk alongside you on your journey.

Are you ready to move beyond what’s been holding you back?
Whether it’s past trauma, anxiety, or emotions you’ve pushed down for too long — you don’t have to stay stuck. If you’ve been merely surviving, it’s time to reclaim your power, release the blocks, and step into a life where you can truly thrive. I’m here to support you as you move from contraction to expansion — from coping, to living fully.

Facts about Hypnosis

Hypnosis is very powerful and it helps you to achieve your true potential

Hypnosis helps you to tap into your inherent power. When you are in a relaxed state, transformation is extremely effective. Once we can identify the source of your negative beliefs, we can effectively change these. It facilitates increased self awareness and it offers a vastly improved way of living life.

Hypnosis is not sleep

Hypnosis is a highly focused, yet extremely relaxed state of awareness. You’ll be completely conscious and alert throughout the Session, however we will be able to access the subconscious part of your mind, which is highly receptive to positive suggestion.

Hypnosis can work for any issue

Hypnosis can help you to change habits, reduce pain, increase motivation, recover from physical and mental illness, eliminate fears and remove anxiety and stress.  Its applications are endless. Once we change our thoughts and beliefs, the transformation is phenomenal.

Hypnosis works really fast

Just as your mind can quickly acquire a negative belief, your mind can also learn a new response to an old stimulus very quickly. The brain is lightning fast and it is receptive to change due to its neuroplasticity.

Almost anyone can be hypnotised

You cannot be hypnotized against your will because hypnosis is a consensual state.  However, anyone who is willing to follow instructions and who is wanting to make changes is a good candidate for this type of Therapy. It works best when you are really committed to change.  If a person is comfortable with the process and knows what to expect, it is surprisingly easy.

Hypnosis is a normal and natural state of mind

Everyone has the potential to be hypnotised because it’s a natural, normal state that each of us experiences at least twice a day – upon waking and falling asleep. You are in a light state of hypnosis anytime that you lose track of time or when you find your mind lost in thought.  It’s a form of daydreaming.

How it feels to be hypnotised

Hypnosis is a deeply relaxed state of mind.  Some clients feel a light sensation as if they are floating; some feel grounded and secure; others feel a light buzzing; most feel incredibly focused. The experience is different for everyone, but it is a completely safe process.

You are always in control

Hypnosis is a very light, yet extremely effective state of awareness that can be used for the client to understand the source of their issues. At no point do you lose control. You will remain conscious at all times and you do not surrender your will. Hypnotherapy facilitates and shines the light on these areas of concern and you will be guided to make profound breakthroughs.

Hypnosis works beneath the level of conscious thinking

As Hypnosis speaks directly to your subconscious mind, it is able to by-pass your conscious, critical thoughts. Your mind is free to become aware of thoughts and patterns that you didn’t realise existed. Powerful breakthroughs and insights can be achieved in one single session as this heightened concentration increases your receptivity to suggestions.

Hypnosis works even when other therapies fail

Hypnosis is an outstanding therapy tool, as it deals directly with your subconscious and your belief system. It taps into the power of the subconscious mind where your memories and emotions are stored. Results are quick, profound and long lasting.

Receiving a hypnosis session remotely is highly effective

Hypnotherapy is just as effective when conducted on a Virtual Chat. The Subconscious mind is not selective about its environment, nor the conduit through which it is accessed.  In fact, most clients prefer the comfort, privacy and ease of having a Session conducted remotely.

You will remember everything that is said

Your mind will remember everything that is relevant to remember during your Session – small trivial comments could be forgotten. You will  be fully aware of who you are, where you are and remember what happened during a Hypnosis Session.
