Leah McLaren
Hypnotherapy & Coaching
Hi I'm Leah.
I'm a certified hypnotherapist, coach and internationally-published author based in London, UK.
​
I discovered hypnotherapy a few years ago during a period of personal upheaval and crisis. I know it works, because it changed my life for the better.
​
In 2022, while researching a book on the subject, I enrolled in a qualification course at the respected UK College of Hypnotherapy & Hypnosis and fell in love with the practice. After qualifying I began seeing clients two days a week (in-person and remotely via Zoom) in my bright cosy garden shed in Kensal Rise, UK. Since then my practice has grown by word-of-mouth and I now treat clients all over the world.
​
I’ve recently expanded my practice to include creative and corporate coaching, because some people prefer a more conversational approach.
​
I am also available for public speaking, on-stage leadership events and run corporate workshops from time to time.

“The subconscious (or whatever the correct term is for that great under-intelligence we all have that comes to the surface now and then) is vastly powerful – much smarter and wisdom-infused than our everyday minds.”
– George Saunders
My backstory
I grew up in Toronto, Canada and started my career as a columnist and feature writer at The Globe and Mail, Canada's national broadsheet. In 2002 I was posted to London, UK, and after that, spent over a decade as a foreign correspondent. My short and long-form writing has been published in respected newspapers and magazines all over the world.
I am the author of three internationally-published books (two novels and a memoir) and I’ve also written for television, film and audio.
In 2022, I launched Juvenescence, a popular newsletter about creativity, curiosity, productivity and the creative unconscious.
