About Lina Sima
Clinical hypnotherapist, London. More than two decades of medical experience precede this practice, and it shows in how the work is run: structured, finite, and stated plainly.
Medicine first
Lina Sima qualified as a Doctor of Medicine at Kaunas University of Medicine and went on to practise for many years as a family physician, caring for patients across every stage of life. General practice is an unusually broad education in people. You see the same patients over years rather than episodes, and you learn quickly how much of what presents in a consulting room is shaped by how someone is living rather than by any single thing that has gone wrong.
Alongside her medical training she holds postgraduate qualifications in public health administration, and much of her career has been spent arguing for preventative, whole-person health — medicine as an ongoing partnership in living well, rather than a service called upon only once something has broken.
The move into hypnotherapy
The move grew out of a conviction formed over those years rather than a change of direction: that lasting wellbeing depends as much on the mind as on the body, and that the mind is a great deal more reachable than most people are led to believe.
She trained in medical hypnotherapy through Hypnotherapy Training International. What she brought with her from medicine is the discipline — a proper history, a clear formulation, a defined scope, and an honest account of what a method can and cannot do. Hypnotherapy is the method she uses. It is not presented as a cure for anything, and this practice does not diagnose or treat medical conditions.
How the practice is run
Work is arranged as finite private programmes with the scope agreed before it begins, rather than as open-ended weekly sessions. Clients are typically founders, executives and senior professionals — people who are relied upon, who appear composed publicly, and who value discretion as highly as they value the result.
Every enquiry is read and answered by Lina personally. There is no team, no queue, and no telephone number: email is the only public channel, deliberately. Records held by the practice are administrative only, and what is discussed in a session is not written into any system.
Sessions are held at your home or office, in a private consulting room in central London, or online across the UK and worldwide.
