Testimonials

I am so appreciative of all those clients who take the extra step and write me a testimonial. It really helps me to connect to new clients who may be curious as to whether hypnotherapy, and me in particular, can do what I say I can.

However I am very aware that all therapy is deeply private and personal so to that end I have selected a couple of testimonials, removed the names and copied them without edit  however more can be found on my google review page (which has a bit of a mind of its own and randomly choses to delete).

 

PHOBIA OF BLOOD AND NEEDLES CURED!

I began my sessions with Rachel after I was let go from my new job as a Dental Nurse.

It was apparent to my new employer that my phobia of blood and needles would be a problem as I would struggle to stay in control of my symptoms whenever I was near blood or needles in the surgery.
I would start to sweat profusely, feel dizzy and I would often have problems with my vision and staying upright.

As you can imagine it felt as if it would be impossible to ‘cure’ my phobia as the symptoms seemed to be completely uncontrollable.
I lost a lot of confidence and felt that such an amazing opportunity had been taken away from me under circumstances that were seemingly out of my control.

Rachel has been a fantastic Hypnotherapist! She is a calm understanding and highly qualified professional. My time with her was relaxing and enjoyable. She has restored my confidence in challenging situations and has provided encouragement in the moments where I thought progress was impossible.

As a result of Rachel’s hard work and dedication I am now on my way to becoming a qualified Dental Nurse!
I assist with extractions, administration of anaesthetics and deal with blood and needles on a daily basis. I am much more comfortable and relaxed. I am no longer affected by the fears that had burdened and restricted me for so long in the past.

I have experienced phenomenal life changing results from hypnotherapy in such a short amount of time, At the start of my journey I felt hopeless against my phobia, today I have the confidence to tackle anything that comes my way!

If you have an issue or phobia that seems impossible to overcome I would highly recommend getting in contact with Rachel and giving hypnotherapy a try! and see how the results could change your life for the better.

Hypnotherapy Worked For Me

I was diagnosed with prostate cancer Jan 2022 and needed surgery to remove my prostate gland under general anaesthesia. Within days, I was suffering from severe anxiety. I couldn’t sleep, eat or concentrate on anything. My mind was in a devastating downward spiral of irrational fear of the procedure despite being in full knowledge that it was extremely safe and being performed by a team of highly trained professionals there to help and give me the best possible chance of a long and healthy life.

I contacted my GP for help and was given a list of self-help groups that might be of interest to me with the promise that he would be in contact in the future to see how I was getting on. My anxiety increased with this. My need was urgent as the operation was looming in a matter of weeks!

I decided to give hypnotherapy a go as Sigmund Freud, phobias etc sprang to mind. Perhaps, I thought, there could be help here as the problem was most definitely in my head and once that was sorted, the cancer could be handled by the medics. That’s how I got in touch with Rachel as a hypnotherapist. I emailed and explained my problem and her response was positive and so reassuring that the dark cloud of fear already seemed less oppressive. She was confident the we could sort this and WE did! Hypnotherapy, I discovered, is very much a ‘we’ thing. It takes two. From a personal perspective, I discovered that by allowing myself to be receptive, open and truly willing and wanting to change my mental state, I could see the world anew and overcome my irrational fear.

After my first session with Rachel, I was already returning to life. The severe anxiety was lifting. By the day of the procedure, I was relaxed, cheerful and confident. I was wheeled into the operation theatre without the need for sedation, happy and content knowing that I was in safe hands and above all, pleased that I was making the job of our NHS professionals so much easier and pleasant for them. As to my nearest and dearest, it was me reassuring them that there was nothing to worry about and hence making the whole experience so much better for all concerned including myself.

Rachel did a brilliant thing for me. I will forever be grateful. I unreservedly recommend Rachel to anyone who is open and sincere about getting help from hypnotherapy. BUT it is a WE thing and there’s no magic pill!

 

Happiness

I was recommended to see Rachel and try hypnotherapy by a friend who was insistent that it would be life changing - and it has been. I was in a very low place; everything was going wrong. It was one thing piling on top of another. At first I think I just found a moment of peace in the sessions but then after about 5 weeks a miracle happened and it all just clicked. I was back in control, able to make decisions and now, 10 weeks later I have my life back, and I’m happy, genuinely really happy. Thank you.

Anti-Smoking

If I’m honest I’m not certain that I was committed to giving up smoking but I felt I needed to try as my partner had just stopped over Christmas as I was embarrassed that I couldn’t ‘just stop’. I really thought the hypnotherapy would fail... but 3 months on I haven’t given smoking more than a brief thought and the best bit is that I haven’t resorted to snacking as a substitute (like my partner has) so I haven’t put weight on. I’m no longer a smoker and that’s thanks to a morning with Rachel.

Anxiety

I went to see Rachel for anxiety. I had a promotion which should have been great, but it was all too much, for me, the kids and I felt such a fraud. From the Initial Consultation I understood exactly what I needed to do. It took just 6 sessions of learning to notice the good stuff, to let go of what I can’t control and what was distressing me. Now I feel free, and I really don’t think that I will ever let things get out of control again.

Weight loss

I immediately liked Rachel’s calm, non-judgemental style. I started to realise that I had been lying to myself that I was overweight. Even when the doctor had said I had type 2 diabetes I didn’t get it. But Rachel explained that holding on to stress means holding on to fat. We worked on reducing stress, which has made me happy and relaxed. It’s been 5 weeks and I’m sticking to my diet and no longer want to binge eat.

Anxiety

I just finished a 6 session course with Rachel, I was struggling with anxiety which stemmed from my cancer diagnosis, I was having lots of appointments and uncertainty which made me start to feel anxious and like I’d lost a bit of control in other areas of my life. Rachel got to the point with me so quickly and really helped me relax and understand why I was feeling like this- and showed me how to get some control back. I would 100% recommend Rachel to anyone, for anything. I feel so much better after just 6 sessions and each day I can use the techniques Rachel gave me. Thank you so much!

Positive change

It has been really lovely to work with Rachel and I learned so much about myself during every session. I was curious to see whether hypnotherapy would work and I am delighted and so grateful that it has. After years of feeling like my will and determination would never be enough to achieve what I wanted, I now feel like there's hope. I can confidently say that I have changed for the better as a result of hypnotherapy with Rachel, and to me, that is a miracle at work. Thank you Rachel for all your help and support.
