Life changing work

Dear Stella, your guidance has really transformed my life. It allowed me to break free of an unfulfilling and unhealthy relationship. It sparked my journey to becoming a more complete woman. It made me see how to set boundaries... and above all, it allowed me to see that love and connection are possible.
I think that the work you do is amazing, life-changing and invaluable for the world. I feel truly blessed to have met you.

Thank you, Joanne.

What you’ve shared here carries so much depth.

The shift you describe — moving out of something that no longer honoured you, and beginning to see what is actually possible for you — is not a small step. It reflects a real change in how you relate to yourself.

Boundaries, clarity, and the ability to recognise what is healthy are not learned overnight. They come from a deeper place of safety and self-trust beginning to take hold.

I’m really glad working with me supported you in that process.

What you said about love and connection being possible matters — not as an idea, but as something you can now feel and choose from.

Thank you for trusting me with that part of your journey, I am truly honoured.

Beyond Therapy: A Profound Shift in Understanding

I booked an emotional recalibration with Stella after my husband's profound experience.
I carry some deep childhood wounds which I thought I had tackled in therapy a long time ago, but they always bubbled back up to the surface. Stella made me feel seen and heard, which I never experienced on such a deep level with a therapist. She really listened without judgment, and I could finally understand things I couldn’t before.
The recalibration of my nervous system gave me calm for the first time and really helped me to see “how life could be.” I know it’s work I need to carry on myself, but without Stella, I never would have seen this.
I cannot recommend her and the work she does enough.

Thank you, Sophie.

What you’ve shared here is incredibly meaningful to read.

The way you describe those early wounds resurfacing — and allowing yourself to meet them rather than push them back down — is where real change begins. That takes honesty, courage, and a willingness to stay with yourself in a new way.

I’m so glad you felt seen and heard during our work together. That sense of safety is a sacred space — something your system allowed, and I’m honoured to witness.

What you said about seeing “how life could be” matters. That glimpse is often the beginning of something much deeper — not a quick shift, but a steady return to yourself.

This reflects the work beautifully — clarity, understanding, and then the more compassionate way forward that follows.

Thank you for trusting me with that process.

Working with Stella online

Working with Stella online didn’t feel remote at all. She created a space where I felt safe enough to talk about parts of my past I never thought I could share, and for the first time I felt truly understood.

Through inner child healing, I began to recognise patterns in myself I hadn’t seen before, especially around my inner critic and how I speak to myself.

The hypnosis sessions were powerful. I left feeling calm, peaceful, and at the same time more energised and clear.

The three 90-minute sessions were deep and sometimes challenging, but always held in a way that felt gentle and supportive. It was absolutely worth the investment.

I now continue to see Stella monthly, and I genuinely look forward to each session. I always leave with a stronger sense of belief in myself.

Most of all, I feel grateful to know Stella. Her presence has been a light in some of the hardest parts of my healing, and her compassion, intuition, and steadiness have touched me in ways I can barely put into words. Knowing her, and being supported by her has genuinely changed my life. 🙏

Thank you, Maya.

Your words really touched me.

It’s been a privilege to walk alongside you in this work and to witness the shifts you’ve allowed yourself to make. The honesty and openness you’ve brought into each session have created the space for that depth.

I’m so glad we’re continuing, and that you’re giving yourself this time to keep growing and receiving support.

Coping with grief and trauma

My Experience with Stella has been profound and integral to my healing journey.
After losing my child suddenly and unexpectedly, I was completely broken. I didn’t know how to live with the pain or where to even begin.
Finding Stella has changed my life. She has a rare gift. She’s intuitive, gentle, wise, and incredibly knowledgeable. She seems to understand exactly what I need, even when I can’t express it myself.

For the first time in years, my body has started to feel safe after experiencing deep trauma. I trust her with feelings that once felt too heavy to carry. Stella has been helping me not only hold my grief but also gently heal parts of myself that were hurt long before my loss.

Through our sessions, especially the hypnotherapy - I leave feeling a little lighter, a little stronger, and more able to carry my grief with compassion rather than fear. Guided by Stella, I’ve even begun to feel moments of joy and hope again, feelings I never thought would return.

I am deeply grateful for Stella. Words aren’t enough to express my gratitude for the way she has helped me find a sense of peace in the midst of heartbreak.

Thank you Stella, your care and guidance to those “light bulb moments” have truly changed my life 🖤🤍

Thank you for trusting me in a space that asks so much of you.
I see the way you are meeting your grief — with courage, honesty, and love — even when it feels unbearable.

What is changing is not being given to you… it is emerging from within you, and I’m simply walking alongside you as it unfolds.

I’m so glad you are beginning to feel moments of safety and even small returns of light.
That matters more than anything.

With you in this, always 🕊️

Genuinely life-changing experience

I rarely write reviews, but I felt compelled to share my experience with Stella because it has genuinely been transformative — possibly life-changing.

I came to Stella at a point where I felt stuck in patterns I couldn’t shift through traditional approaches. What stood out immediately was that this is not surface-level therapy. Her work goes much deeper — combining emotional awareness, nervous system work and hypnotherapy to get to the root of things, rather than just talking about them. 

From the very first session, I felt safe, understood, and — most importantly — like something was actually shifting. This wasn’t just insight; it was real change. I’ve noticed improvements in how I respond to stress, my relationships, and my overall sense of calm and self-worth.

Thank you for taking the time to write this — I know that doesn’t come easily.

What you described is exactly the work: not just understanding patterns, but feeling where they live and allowing something to shift at that level.

The changes you’ve noticed — in how you respond, how you relate, how you experience yourself — that’s the real measure.

I’m really glad you trusted the process, especially at a point where things felt stuck.

Definitely worth my time

Definitely worth my time. I did the free 1-1 session and the registration was pretty smooth. I got an appointment for the same day. Talking about the session, it was surely a good one, amidst the session i thought i was chatting with a friend, which was intresting. As far as i am informed, her later session are only for paid costumers. One thing that i discovered was that what i assumed as curiosity of knowing why i am different is not just only curiosity but self-doubt too. I would thank stella to pointing that out. Lastly i would say is that if you are a full time student like me, reaching out to her for a proper therapy will cost you. Its better to look somewhere else. I couldn't enroll for a proper therapy so i won't comment about that.

Just to clarify for anyone reading, this review relates to a complimentary discovery call rather than the Emotional Recalibration Therapy process itself.

The discovery call is intended as an initial conversation to understand whether the work is a suitable fit. The full therapeutic process is a structured, paid engagement, which was explained during the call.

Wishing you well in your continued exploration.

Stella was amazing for me 🙌

Working with Stella was a deeply impactful experience.
She helped me recognise patterns and beliefs I hadn’t fully seen before, especially those shaped by past experiences.
The way she explained things really stayed with me and supported a genuine shift — I feel more like myself than I have in years.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this — it really means a lot.

What you did in the work wasn’t small. The willingness to look honestly at those deeper patterns, especially the ones shaped early on, takes real courage.

I’m so glad you’re feeling more like yourself again — that’s always the quiet marker that something has shifted at the right level.

Wishing you continued steadiness and clarity as things keep unfolding.

Highly Unprofessional & Misleading "Therapy"

I strongly advise against using the services of Stella Dove (formerly Tanya Mann Rennick) at Emotional Therapy UK. She markets herself as a therapist and offers "Inner Child Therapy", "Mindset Recalibration", and other services that sound professional—but in reality, she lacks proper psychological qualifications.

1- Not a licensed therapist – Despite presenting herself as one, she has no recognized credentials in psychotherapy or counseling.
2- Ignores underlying psychological issues – Instead of addressing real mental health struggles, she offers generic coaching, which can be extremely harmful for those dealing with serious conditions like anxiety, trauma, or depression.
3- Dangerous for vulnerable individuals – If someone with deep-rooted psychological issues comes to her, instead of guiding them to a qualified professional, she misleads them into thinking her methods will help, potentially making their condition worse.
4- No safeguarding measures – There is no proper screening to determine whether her "therapy" is safe for clients with serious mental health concerns.
6- Do not respects patients confidentiality

Thank you for taking the time to share your views. I take all feedback seriously, especially when it relates to client experience and public trust.

However, after careful consideration, I believe this review does not come from a verified client. I maintain clear records of all therapeutic work, and to the best of my knowledge, no individual matching this account has engaged in paid sessions or formal client work with me. If this individual did engage in an initial discovery call, I would welcome a private conversation to address any concerns directly, ethically, and with mutual respect.

To clarify:

I am a qualified Clinical Hypnotherapist and a full member of the British Society of Clinical Hypnosis (BSCH). I am transparent about my credentials and do not advertise myself as a psychotherapist or licensed mental health professional. My work is clearly described on my website and in all client materials.

I use a trauma-informed, somatic approach grounded in nervous system regulation, emotional attunement, guided hypnotherapy EMDR psychotherapy, ACT and bereavement counselling. I do not treat psychiatric conditions and always refer on when appropriate. Safeguarding is taken seriously and clearly outlined in my disclaimers and client forms.

I do not work with children or vulnerable adults without capacity. I do not claim to diagnose or cure any mental health condition.

I uphold confidentiality with the utmost care. No personal client information is ever disclosed unless mandated by law or immediate risk.

If this review has been submitted by someone with a personal connection to a client, or with an intent to discredit rather than genuinely reflect on therapeutic experience, I respectfully request Trustpilot investigate this under their misuse and verification policy.

To existing and prospective clients: my door remains open with compassion, transparency, and professional integrity. If you have any concerns or questions about my work, I invite you to contact me directly.
