What is keeping you awake at night?

Are you feeling stuck, lost, or overwhelmed and don’t know where to start? Has your confidence taken a hit due to a stressful life event or fear? Maybe you’re tired of being held back by symptoms, unhelpful habits, or painful memories.

Would you like to feel better and learn new skills to handle difficult thoughts, feelings, emotions, and memories more effectively? I could help you to stop struggling and build a better life.

With over 13 years of therapeutic experience, including 9 years helping hundreds of people affected by a cancer diagnosis, I specialise in aiding individuals to overcome difficulties and build more satisfying and meaningful lives. I can help you:

• Improve sleep
• Better manage stress, anxiety, and worry
• Overcome traumatic events, fears, and phobias
• Increase confidence, energy, and life balance
• Create a workable self-care routine
• Balance hormones and manage pain
• Balance and evolve your energy systems for greater health and joy

About me

At the age of 37, I had a wake-up call: I wasn’t living my life for myself. As a secondary school Head of Department, I was overwhelmed, stressed, and experiencing panic attacks. I knew I needed to make a change. I explored various practices such as reiki, mindfulness, hypnotherapy, and EFT tapping.

These techniques helped me end my panic attacks, overcome my phobias of spiders and public speaking, and discover the long-term benefits of self-care.

My life transformed when I discovered the power of energy medicine and began balancing my energy systems. This led me to train as an Eden Method Practitioner—the only one in Sheffield! Over the years, I’ve trained extensively, building my skills and experience. Fifteen years later, I am doing a job I love and have enormous life satisfaction.

For the past three years, I have served as a therapist for a clinical trial with Queen Mary University in London, using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for cancer patients. This experience has deepened my love and respect for this approach to life. Although I still face challenges, I have learned to quickly recognise and overcome them without being too hard on myself. It’s all part of being human and growing as a professional.

My approach

My approach starts with listening to you—understanding what has been going on in your life, identifying what is holding you back from thriving, and discovering what keeps you up at night.

You may already have some ideas about how you want to work with me. There are many different ways to achieve great results, such as hypnotherapy, tapping, mindfulness, or body-based approaches. You don’t need to know the exact method just yet as we can work out a flexible and personalised plan to help you in reaching your goals.

You may not yet know what brings you joy, satisfaction, and meaning, but that can be part of our work together, moving forward to make life better.

Hello, The World at present doesn't have any standards anymore. So I don't expect anything from anyone. However in this case I spoke to a brilliant and diligent staff member called Sarah. She was incredibly pleasant and knew her job like the back of her hand. My inquiry was dealt with a standard which I would have set myself when I used to work. So very happy to have this very pleasant surprise. Keep up the Good Work. I honestly couldn't speak higher of the service. Thanks Steve

Deborah Chadbourn was an excellent grief counsellor for me. It is five years since my first wife died, and we explored how I am feeling now, and how to navigate new and old relationships while remaining true to everything from the past. Deborah is a great listener, and provides good challenge and advice. The venue worked well for me, as did the evening appointments. Thank you!

Shabana is one of those rare people who truly listens and understands without judgement. Her support came at a time when life felt overwhelming, and she helped me slowly rebuild my confidence and sense of self. I always left each session feeling lighter, calmer, and more grounded, and the tools she shared continue to help me every day. She helped me piece myself back together and reminded me that healing doesn’t mean becoming someone new — it means rediscovering who you’ve always been. I feel like my old self again, only stronger and more at peace. I can’t thank her enough.

Our work group recently had a Wellness Day and we were able to book Jemma Rosenthal and Ranaa Farooq from the Sheffield Wellness Centre for an instructional workshop. I have since received excellent feedback from group members. Jemma and Ranaa provided a very lively and well-coordinated session. We were able to cover topics such as Visualisation in a systematic manner. All along, attendees were impressed with the passion and interest displayed by both presenters. As an audience, we were certainly captivated. I can wholeheartedly recommend Jemma and Ranaa for any future events.

Came to have my session with Jemma Rosenthal here. The restrooms are so clean. There are steps that one needs to be careful of once you get onto the first floor. Fabulous place other than that, just wish it had a lift. Regarding my session: Oh wow, where do I start?! Even before meeting Jemma, i've felt at ease as there is something with the way she talks, which is so calming and reassuring. My first session was exhaustive, but I loved it. I enjoyed the relaxing Reiki in the end. She tells me that I need to tell her when I am feeling tired of talking about my depressive past and that she can approach a different way of therapy. This feels so liberating because she is basically willing to tailor the session for YOUR needs. She is a wise lady. Though she is younger than me, she is very caring, intelligent and as I said a wise person. I am so happy that our paths crossed and she is helping me come out of my bad phase. I came home and was so relaxed (I was singing freely and my husband noticed a change in the way I sing it was excellent)... I've been happy and been chuckling which is so not like me but the sad phase is jutting out of my system. I've had other private sessions for depression but wanted someone to coach my life who understands anxiety and depression. I don't remember how I found her online but glad that I did!! -Sharvani ♡☆♡ She's truly a Gem... Jem✨

I've had two massages with Fi at the Wellness Centre 'so far' and both times I've come away feeling like a different person. Fi not only has magic healing hands that make you feel wonderful with every touch, but she treats you with such calm and gentle compassion that this is a really holistic therapeutic experience. Definitely recommend

I had a pregnancy massage with Fi and it was amazing! the centre is a very relaxing place and she had it warm and comfortable for me. Despite her wearing PPE, the gloves didn't affect the feel of the massage and wearing masks made me feel safe. The actual massage was so relaxing and relieved any tension I felt as Fi had asked me where any tension was. I would highly recommend her to any pregnant ladies!

As a complete beginner and not being quite as agile as I'd like I was a bit nervous about attending a Yoga class but while I may be slightly biased given Elisha of Grow Yoga is my daughter I can honestly say I enjoyed every second of her class. She's a beautiful human with a passion and energy that radiates from her. She explains everything perfectly and encourages you to just go at your own pace and enjoy. On each occasion I've been I've left feeling like the world is a much brighter place with a calmness that is rare to feel in this very busy world. If you do have the chance to try one of her classes please take it, you'll fall in love with Grow Yoga

I have had the most wonderful hypnotherapy session with Fi from the Sheffield Wellness Centre. I knew from previous chats with her that she had the perfect voice and open demeanor for hypnotherapy, and I wasn't wrong. She immediately put me at ease and I was able to open up honestly with her. The session itself was lovely, I went quickly into a trance state and, although it's early days, feel very much that the session was beneficial: I already feel lighter and more in control of the anxiety and other problems I suffer with. The Sheffield Wellness Centre is also the perfect therapeutic space. The therapy rooms are lovely and perfectly suited to a range of therapies and the studio is bright and welcoming. I'm so excited to continue my therapy with Fi and am 100% sure this will give me so much benefit, I can't recommend her and the SWC enough.

Pamper Party What a great idea! A bit of ‘me time’, in the most wonderfully relaxing surroundings. The Wellness Centre has such a relaxed, homely feel to it - much nicer than my actual home, as it is clean, tidy and welcoming! The atmosphere immediately put me at ease, I absolutely loved having time to chill out, chat and eat cake. Fi is the perfect hostess, making sure that we all had everything we needed, with her wonderful warm and caring manner. It was great to be able to choose what particular treatment or massage I wanted on the day. I surprised myself by trying something new and going for the hot stones massage, and I’m so glad I did. It was amazing, so deep and yet so gentle. It was really nice to experience my massage while listening to everyone else chatting happily, too. I completely recommend this if you are looking for the perfect excuse to have some guilt free time to yourself.

Who can benefit from working with me

Individuals who feet stuck, lost, or overwhelmed, questioning if positive change is possible. Anyone experiencing feelings of helplessness and hopelessness, and those who may be self-critical about their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

I specialise in working with people affected by a cancer diagnosis, addressing stress, anxiety, and utilising energy medicine. My approach fosters curiosity, courage, and compassion, guiding clients to identify realistic steps towards a healthier, happier life.

I can assist with various challenges, including stress, anxiety, fears, phobias, confidence, meditation, relaxation, energy healing, identity healing, self-compassion, and sleep management.

Therapies offered include emotional freedom technique, NLP, eden energy medicine, hypnotherapy, acceptance and commitment theory, and mindfulness. My extensive experience, particularly over 6 years working with individuals in crisis due to cancer, has provided insights into navigating uncertainty and finding peace within challenging times. If you’ve been seeking a meaningful life and a way to reconnect with yourself, my approach might be beneficial for you.

Why you should work with me

I’ve had years of experience working with people in crisis as a result of living with a diagnosis of cancer. I have had the privilege of working with and learning from people who have had to deal with uncertainty, face their mortality and learn to live with uncomfortable symptoms.

All this has shown me that there is always a way to find congruence and peace within, even when in the most challenging of times. That there is always hope for a meaningful life.

What happens next?

I specialise in helping women feel more congruence with themselves and their life, especially when feeling lost, stuck or overwhelmed. If you would like to learn ways to feel calm and centred and work through unhelpful beliefs, behaviours and thought patterns, so that you can think clearly and awaken your inner clarity, please feel free to book in for a free 20 minute consultation.

I believe that by working to balance your body’s energies, you can affect enormous positive change for body, mind and spirit.
