About Ayelet

Ayelet Wellard is a psychotherapist and hypnotherapist who works from a client-centred perspective. She uses talk therapy and cognitive behavioural techniques to help people untangle worries and build better sleep and rest habits. Ayelet holds NCPS as a credential and has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

She helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood. Relationship and intimacy concerns are a core focus, and she also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and anger. Sleeping difficulties and issues around self-esteem and motivation are commonly addressed in her sessions.

Ayelet blends gentle relaxation through hypnotherapy with practical CBT strategies. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with manageable steps. She explains techniques in clear language and works at a pace that suits each person.

Her wider interests include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, chronic pain and disability, and neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome. She also offers support around caregiving stress, communication problems, and relationship transitions such as separation or divorce.

Sessions are offered in English and Hebrew, and Ayelet accepts international clients. She encourages people to take the first step even when change feels daunting, focusing on small, achievable shifts that build confidence over time.

How Ayelet’s approaches transfer to online therapy

Ayelet commonly uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy in her practice. Client-centred therapy means the person leads the conversation while the therapist listens and reflects, helping people feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small practical changes to reduce stress and improve sleep.

She also uses hypnotherapy as a relaxation tool to reduce tension and encourage calmer sleep routines. Hypnotherapy in this context involves guided relaxation and visualisation to support rest and reduce anxiety before bedtime.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with the person to choose methods that match their goals, needs and preferences, and may combine approaches over time. Ayelet will check in about what is working and adapt the plan as needed.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, such as shorter check-ins during a lunch break, sessions without travel, or using audio-only contact when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find online sessions help people keep continuity of care and maintain routines while working on sleep and rest.
