Panic Attacks

I’d suffered from a cycle of anxiety, panic attacks, wavering
self-confidence and depression for years. I knew I needed to break the
cycle and didn’t want to just mask things with medication – I just
wanted to feel relaxed, happy and more in control, more self-assured –
more me again. After some research, I found Sam’s details online and the
results have been life changing. I was astounded at the difference I
felt after just a few sessions and continue to. Thank you so much Sam! –

At my first session with Sam, she told me I would be surprised by how quickly I would start to feel better again. At a time when I was really struggling, those words alone were a huge help.

I first went to see Sam because I was suffering from panic attacks which were related to a specific event, but spilling over into the rest of my life. Although it would have looked to my friends and colleagues like I was fine and in control, you can’t trick yourself and I knew that I needed some help. Within a few sessions, Sam had guided me through processing the cause of the panic attacks and I was back on an even keel.

I was so pleased with the results that I continued to see Sam for a few more sessions and explored and addressed some other things which had bothered me for a long time, which I had never spoken openly about before. By the end of our work together, I didn’t just feel like myself the way I was before the panic attacks started, but actually better than I had ever felt before.

Sam is excellent at her job – she is compassionate, supportive and completely non-judgemental. Whatever you are struggling with – big things or small ones – I would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone.

I thought I was going to have to quit my job because of panic attacks but Sam showed me how to confront it and made me see that I could control them and now I am working with no worries at all. I really enjoyed my sessions with Sam and it also helped in other aspects of my life. The tools I learned are so helpful in all sorts of situations and I can’t thank her enough for everything she has done for me. It really was a scary time. Thank you Sam.

I booked hypnotherapy sessions with Sam after suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome throughout my teens and into adulthood. It had gotten to the point where it was having a significant impact on my life, I was missing lectures at university and calling in sick to work. I was scared to be far from home or go on nights out with friends. I took Immodium daily along with 2 types of medication prescribed by my Doctor. After a few sessions with Sam I was much better equipped to deal with the anxiety that I felt about the symptoms of IBS. Over a much longer period of time (and continual practise of the techniques I learned) my mindset gradually changed. I successfully weaned myself off of Immodium and both prescribed medications – a massive achievement for me. I stopped fearing my symptoms which in turn reduced their frequency and intensity. I’ve since used the same techniques to help deal with panic attacks, anxiety, and most recently, to equip myself for what was a very positive birthing experience of my little boy! An achievement made possible by many years’ practice of positive reframing and focussed breathing.

I have suffered with bad anxiety for around ten years. On a good day, I would have around four anxiety attacks a day and on a bad day I wouldn’t leave the house. I had one session of hypnotherapy on 20th June and haven’t had an anxiety attack since. To say it has changed my life is an understatement. I can’t recommend enough.

Sam’s hypnotherapy room is lovely, bright and smells lovely. Sam is a warm person and I felt immediately comfortable in her company. Unlike other hypnotherapists I have seen, she took the time to explain what anxiety is and what causes it and how the hypnotherapy works, which has worked really well for me.

I have seen Sam for two further sessions about my fear of flying. I will report back in two weeks once I have flown!

Thank you, Sam, for giving me my life back 🙂
