Gabi Metiu, Anxiety Trauma and Relationship Specialist, in her therapy room in Worthing

Hi, I'm Gabi Metiu
Anxiety, Trauma & Relationship Specialist

Using Clinical Hypnotherapy, EMDR and evidence-based psychological approaches.

I understand that reaching out for support can feel daunting. My role isn't to judge or tell you what to do - it's to walk alongside you towards meaningful change.

"My passion has always been helping people heal."

Many of the people I work with arrive feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, anxious or stuck. Whatever has brought you here, you don't have to carry it alone - and you don't have to have it all figured out before we begin.

My background

More than 30 years in healthcare

My career in healthcare spans more than 30 years - working as a Registered Nurse and later as a Clinical Training Specialist supporting adults and children with complex needs.

That experience gave me a deep understanding of how physical health, emotional wellbeing and the mind are connected in ways that medicine alone cannot always address.

From nursing to therapy

Following the connection between mind and body

Throughout my nursing career I became increasingly interested in the connection between physical health, emotional wellbeing and the mind. That interest led me to train in Clinical Hypnotherapy, and later in EMDR therapy – giving me two powerful, evidence-based ways to help people address the root of what they're experiencing, not just the symptoms.

Alongside my private practice, I have had the privilege of working with Icarus Charity, providing trauma-focused therapy for military veterans experiencing PTSD, anxiety, depression and the long-term effects of traumatic experiences. Witnessing the resilience of those I worked with reinforced my belief that healing is possible, even after the most difficult experiences.

I believe healing is possible at any age, and that even small changes can create profound improvements in wellbeing, confidence and quality of life.

I've been seeing Gabi for a while now and I honestly don't know where I'd be without her. She has a rare gift- the ability to make you feel completely safe, heard and understood from the very first session. What she does goes so much deeper than I ever expected. She doesn't just help you cope, she helps you actually understand yourself, and that changes everything. I can't imagine my life without these sessions. If you're even considering it, just go. It's the best thing I've ever done for myself.
Aleksandra Nakoneczka
I saw Gabi once, I was overwhelmed by grief and sadness after losing my mum in 2months. I felt safe, understood and emotionally supported with Gabi, after the session I found myself more grounded, balanced and empowered. I recommend Gabi!

Had a pleasure to work with Gabi on my personal issues and needless to say she handled "them" like a pro that she is. I had been sceptical at first but the results speak for themselves. Highly, highly recommend to give Gabi a chance to help you out.

I saw you January 6 with tinnitus. Now almost unnoticeable — it allowed me to concentrate on obtaining new career qualifications, which I now have and soon start as an ambulance driver for an NHS contracted company. So thank you very much for your help

I had the privilege of knowing and working with the hypnotherapist, Gabriela Metiu. A man who, in addition to a unique professional approach to client topics, has as his endowment a warmth of soul and an empathetic approach. The way he leads the dialogue and his openness towards people gives him a unique characteristic. I recommend him with all confidence!

Never had therapy before, nor I hever believed I needed therapy, however now, after having attended the appointment my life have changed. Best ever, highly recommend Gabi.
Ana Mestre
I must confess, I was somewhat sceptical as to exactly how Gabby could help me with my depression and serious pain management. After just two sessions, whilst I still have issues to deal with, after the techniques and trauma sessions, I certainly feel more positive going forward in my life. I would recommend anyone to see Gabby for an appointment.
Rob Elms
Gabi has helped me massively. I was in a place where I was unable to even socialise due to some traumatic experiences. I couldn't remember things anymore. I couldn't pay attention during conversations. She did in few sessions what I could of got to in a few years of intense counselling. I will be definitely coming back to her for more sessions on different matters. Highly recommended!
Diana S
I've seen Gabi few months ago for a hypno session. She delicately and professionally guided me to the most deepest corners of my mind and I pulled out the trauma that created a physical consistent pain in my left breast. That pain disappeared after one session! And never came back! I can't thank you enough for this Gabi! Love you!
