On the 1st Feb 2024 it was 6 months since I last had a drink and this still continues without the need for will power. From the 1st Oct 2023 I have now lost 10kg, approximately 1.6kg per month and have dropped 4 inches in my waist size. I am very pleased with how things have gone and how they continue to go. Looking forward to the better weather and getting out more for walks.

Many thanks for everything you have done for me. It has been an amazing journey and not one I would have ever though I could have achieved.

Alcohol Consumption & Weight Loss (Anon)

I am writing this testimonial with gratitude for the incredible support and transformation I have experienced under the guidance of Sam. Her expertise has been helping me overcome dog phobia, navigate pregnancy anxiety, and find strength during my cancer treatment.

When I first sought help for my dog phobia, I never imagined that a few sessions of hypnotherapy could make such a profound difference. My fear had paralyzed me for years, limiting my interactions and experiences. With patience and understanding, she created a safe space for me to explore the roots of my phobia and address them at a subconscious level. The result? I can now enjoy the company of dogs without the crippling anxiety that used to accompany it.

During my pregnancy, anxiety threatened to overshadow the joyous anticipation of becoming a parent. Sam skillfully guided me through relaxation techniques and positive visualizations, allowing me to release the stress and fears that clouded my mind. Her empathetic approach and tailored sessions not only eased my anxiety but also empowered me with the confidence to embrace the beautiful journey of motherhood.

When faced with a cancer diagnosis, the challenges seemed impossible. The emotional toll was enormous, and Sam became an integral part of my support system. Through hypnotherapy, I found comfort, strength, and a renewed sense of hope. The sessions not only helped improve the physical discomfort associated with treatment but also empowered me to face each day with resilience and positivity.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the skill, compassion, and genuine care she brought to each session. Her ability to create a customized approach for my unique challenges showcased her dedication to my well-being. Thanks to her expertise, I have not only overcame my phobias and anxieties but have emerged from the shadows of illness with a newfound appreciation for life.

If you are seeking a hypnotherapist who goes above and beyond, creating a personalized journey toward healing and self-discovery, I wholeheartedly recommend Sam. Her commitment to my well-being has been nothing short of life-changing, and I am forever thankful for the positive impact they have had on my life.

Hi Sam, Still not smoking (4years).

Stop Smoking – Sharon

I’ve been able to deal with spiders like a normal person. My mates were even trying to get me to freak out at Halloween by throwing fake plastic ones at me when I wasn’t paying attention & were disappointed when I picked it & asked who’s it was then handed it back as before I would have been through the nearest window haha.

Sharon (Fear of Spiders)

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! –

Lynn – Breaking the cycle of anxiety

I went to Sam initially looking for help to stop smoking in 2017 which to this day has been a great success.

However, in 2018/19 I underwent surgery twice and was diagnosed with Coeliac disease thought to have been triggered by one of the surgeries I underwent for two hernias, I found this next year of my life extremely difficult, frustrating, and stressful.

My whole lifestyle had to change, I kept getting sick, my work was being impacted and I felt my mental health was taking a beating.

I contacted Sam to see if she could give me some advice on how to deal with this as I was really finding it hard to be around people, I had developed anxiety problems, even sitting in meetings with colleagues and clients I’d known for many years was painful.

I started doing weekly sessions with Sam to talk about these issues and to learn how to relax, be myself again and build my confidence, the effect of this was clear to me from session one, I left feeling energised with a sense of calm, I wasn’t back to myself but after a few sessions before the pandemic kicked in I was feeling great and continue to feel great to this day even with the last 18 months of isolation.

As someone who has worked in the oil & gas industry for the last 25 years which is a very male, macho and testosterone dominated industry and as a company director these things can be hard to overcome, deal with and more importantly talk about without a stigma being attached.

Mental health is the key ingredient to everything in life, from family to work it can have a devastating effect on everything around you, most people don’t realise this until they hit rock bottom, they don’t see the fall happening or don’t want to acknowledge that its happening, it can be anything from an increased use in alcohol to your palms sweating in a crowd, the important thing is realising its there and making the right choices.

Sam was my right choice; I will be forever grateful for the work we did together in getting me back to mentally fighting fit.

As an LGBTQIA+ client, I can attest that Sam offers a completely safe, positive, affirmative space where you can explore your identity and where it is simply accepted. My work with Sam has made me feel proud of who I am and how I identify for the first time in my life.

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.

PTSD/PANIC ATTACKS

I have been a non smoker since my session with you 2 years ago so can’t thank you enough.

Smoking Cessation Success

I worked with Sam for around 1 month surrounding a bad break up that had left me feeling empty, anxious and unable to see past this relationship.

Sam showed me many techniques to help overcome this, one which I found very helpful and eye opening was the rewind showing me the things I constantly felt sad about were boring and a waste of time remembering.

Sam also showed me another technique which I can use in everyday life called the swish.

This is something I can use for any upcoming situation which I feel anxious about. I have used this a few times since my last session with her and it really helps me put things into perspective.

After working with Sam I finally feel in a more positive place knowing that ultimately I am in control and can work through anything.
