RTT® & EMDR Therapist
Hi, I’m Nerissa Tong, founder of Heart of Transformation and the therapist behind Transform Your Life Today.
I help ambitious professionals move beyond anxiety, self-doubt, and internal pressure so they can feel calm, confident, and secure within themselves.
You may appear capable and accomplished, yet privately overthink your decisions, question whether you’re good enough, or feel exhausted from continually holding everything together.
At work, this may look like imposter syndrome, perfectionism, anxiety or fear of speaking up and being seen. In relationships and socially, you may replay conversations, worry about how you’re perceived or hold back what you really want to say - making it difficult to relax, feel free and fully enjoy being yourself.
Through a deeply personalised blend of RTT®, EMDR and hypnotherapy, guided by strong intuition, we work with the subconscious beliefs, emotional responses and nervous system patterns behind what you’re experiencing.
Clients often tell me they feel deeply seen, safe and understood in our sessions - and notice meaningful shifts in how they think, feel, and move through life.
Confidence isn’t something you have to force. It begins to emerge naturally when the anxiety, self-doubt, and protective patterns holding you back start to fall away.
Sessions are available online globally and in-person in Reading, Berkshire (UK).
“I had a paralysing fear of public speaking that was affecting my career. Even introducing myself would make me panic.After working with Nerissa, I spoke in front of 50 people without feeling nervous, and actually enjoyed it. This has been a huge shift for me, both personally and professionally.”
- Isabelle, Client Services Director
My Approach: Bridging Subconscious & Soul
I believe in the powerful connection between mind, body and energy systems.
My work is grounded in evidence-based, neuroscience-informed approaches such as EMDR, RTT® and hypnotherapy.
Yet, alongside these approaches, I bring a deeply intuitive understanding to the work we do together. I often recognise the underlying emotional patterns, subconscious beliefs and nervous system responses that may be keeping you stuck, even before you’ve fully found the words for them yourself.
Anxiety, self-doubt, emotional overwhelm and the effects of trauma aren’t held only in the mind - they can also be carried within the body, nervous system and subconscious patterns shaped through life experiences.
When we work at this level, old patterns and programming can begin to release, helping you feel calmer, clearer, more confident and safer within yourself.
This whole-person approach brings the mind, body, nervous system, subconscious, and energy into greater alignment, supporting bigger, more integrated change.
As these shifts take place, confidence can feel more natural, self-trust deepens, and you can move through life with greater calm, clarity and ease.
The life you’re longing for isn’t out of reach. It begins with a single decision to choose yourself.
My Background & Experience
Before becoming a therapist, I spent more than 20 years working in corporate marketing within fast-paced technology businesses.
So I understand firsthand the pressure of deadlines, targets, presentations, continual change, and the expectation to keep performing and to appear confident - regardless of how you may feel inside.
I know what it's like to appear capable on the outside while privately navigating overthinking, pressure, and the constant drive to prove yourself.
Alongside my corporate career, I have a lifelong interest in mind-body approaches and a deep understanding of how beliefs, emotions, and the nervous system shape behaviour, wellbeing, and energy.
That’s why I take a whole-person approach. I work with the mind, body, emotional, and energy systems, allowing for bigger, more integrated change that naturally carries over into every area of your life so you can feel lighter, freer, and more positive.
Today, that experience allows me to bridge both worlds, combining therapeutic depth with a genuine understanding of the pressures modern professionals experience every day.
“I didn’t realise how negative my inner voice had become; I constantly felt like I wasn’t enough, and it was exhausting. Through my sessions with Nerissa, we uncovered and shifted the root of those beliefs.
Now I feel more confident, empowered, and much kinder to myself. I finally trust that I’m capable.”
- Mia, Marketing Director
My Story
I know how it feels to believe you’re not enough, unlovable, out of place, that you don’t belong.
Growing up in Auckland, New Zealand, I had early life experiences that shaped patterns of self-doubt, perfectionism, and a fear of rejection that followed me into adulthood.
On the outside, I became a high achiever and appeared to have everything together. Inside, I was navigating pressure, overthinking, and a constant need to prove myself.
Everything began to shift when I experienced Rapid Transformational Therapy® (RTT®) myself. As award-winning, globally renowned Marisa Peer worked with me, I experienced firsthand how powerful this work can be. As I started to release the subconscious patterns driving my old beliefs, I discovered a renewed sense of confidence, clarity, empowerment, and freedom.
Now, I help others have the same experience - letting go of the old, reclaiming their power, reconnecting with who they truly are, and helping them achieve what they’ve always dreamed of.
I know how different life can feel when you release the need to prove your worth and begin living more authentically - with greater passion, purpose, and energy, and a renewed sense of everything that is still possible for you.
