About Ilona

Ilona Rakauskaite is a counsellor and hypnotherapist who helps people facing anger, stress and anxiety. She speaks English and Lithuanian and works from the United Kingdom. Ilona invites people to talk about what matters to them and to explore small steps that can make life easier.

She believes clients are the experts on their own stories. Sessions focus on building on existing strengths and finding practical ways to move forward. Ilona aims to support people through grief, relationship strain, career hurdles and changes that feel overwhelming.

Her practice brings together attachment-based and client-centred ideas with hypnotherapy and mindfulness tools. That mix is used to help with motivation, self-esteem and coping skills. Sessions can include guided relaxation and techniques to calm the body as well as conversation about patterns and goals.

Ilona has seven years of experience and holds BACP registration, listed as BACP. She has worked with people dealing with addiction, trauma and various forms of loss, including issues around control, codependency and communication difficulties.

People often come for help with anger, compassion fatigue and persistent emptiness. Ilona offers a practical, steady approach that focuses on small changes and clearer day-to-day coping. Prospective clients are encouraged to confirm session options and scheduling details before booking.

How attachment, mindfulness and hypnotherapy work online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions. Online sessions can help people notice patterns of connection and reduce reactivity in relationships. Client-Centred Therapy means the counsellor follows the person's lead, listening without judgement and helping them clarify goals and choices. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to help with motivation, habit change and managing strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss which methods feel helpful and adapt them to a client's goals and preferences. That collaboration means techniques can be tried, reviewed and changed if they do not fit.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as these are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for a shorter check-in on days when a brief touchpoint is better. It can also make it simpler to access a therapist who speaks your language or has experience with specific concerns such as anger, grief or addiction.
