Hypnotherapy4Health

After the initial session I found the sessions relaxing and insightful, feeling more relaxed and content by the end of each session. People around me have noticed a big difference in me. I am confident and able to go about daily tasks without feeling panicky and stressed. I now go out without worrying beforehand and enjoy my days. I have more energy and am proactive in every way. I am now living my life instead of just existing!

Having done a course of hypnoanalysis, I can see that everyone would benefit from this at some point in their life, with positive results for the individual and those around them. My husband has gone through the Changing Limiting Beliefs workbook and that alone has helped him and us greatly.

Thank you very much for your help. I have suggested hypnotherapy to 2 people – I hope they do it!

"After just one session I started to take control of my eating habits after years of trying. It gave me the ability to change ‘I cant have’ to ‘I don’t need’. Within a very short time I am eating less, not constantly thinking about food, sleeping better and overall a much more content and happy person."

"The sessions helped me to gain an insight into what makes me tick and helped me to realise that I can control what happens in my life and how to deal with situations that I previously felt were not in my control. At the start I would have said more sessions of hypnotism but I now realise it is more powerful to be taught how to alter things yourself. I will treasure the ‘Changing Limiting Beliefs’ book and refer to it in the future I’m sure. Lots of compliments. Thank you"

"This has been a revelation and has changed my way of thinking for the better. I particularly enjoyed the relaxation and letting go of emotion. I felt terrified to walk down the aisle and talk in front of all our guests. With Claire’s help I now feel calm and composed and ready to enjoy my wedding day."

The big day! Emma’s Wedding...

"Claire! I did it! Calm and composed walking up the aisle. I said all my vows without anxiety and even took over the end of Mark’s speech when he got emotional! I cannot thank you enough for how you helped me, you are an angel!"

Hi Claire

"I came to see you on March 1st 2011 to receive a stop smoking session. I cannot believe that after 16 attempts (of patches, willpower and gum) in the last 22 years I have stopped with one hypnotherapy session !! Once the session finished I left you and felt confident and in control of my life. Cigarettes no longer dictate my day! I just can’t believe that I am a non smoker and have not had one single craving. I look at people who smoke and cannot ever imagine I used to partake in the habit."

"Thanks again for your support, professionalism and helping me see ‘I make choices and I decide’ what happens to me!! I can now breathe, taste and have energy."

“Before my first session I was unsure that hypnotherapy was the way to go but I had been bulimic for three years and it was out of control. Deciding to give it a go was the best decision I have ever made as after only my third session (3 weeks) with Claire I saw clearly how I could change my habits. I have not purged in over 5 weeks and am resolved to keep it up. Claire was very friendly and immediately put me at my ease. You do need an open mind, be willing to change, and be honest. Without Claire’s help I know I would still be on the same destructive path. Needless to say I would definitely recommend Claire for anyone needing help and I cannot thank her enough.“

"When I first came to see you I wanted to lose weight but you realised I had other issues. Work issues had to be addressed first. The practical demonstrations showed me how powerful my mind is and I was quite surprised. I found the DREAM technique really good, it’s a big help turning my negative thoughts into positive ones. I’ve lost a half stone and am much more confident. At my birthday party I gave a speech. At one time I wouldn’t have done that, I would have run a mile. It was the first time I had spoken into a microphone and I felt really proud"

"I feel so confident, I’ve lost 8lbs and I didn’t even consult for weight loss! I would never have worn purple before - I always wore black. I have even asked a guy out that I fancied!"

“I had already taken three driving tests and was very anxious about my fourth one. My instructor gave me Claire's leaflet and asked me to ring her. I was anxious at first because I was afraid to let go and go under as that was my perception of hypnotherapy. I rang Claire with only days to go and she was able to fit me in on a very tight schedule.

At the time, she explained the principles behind hypnotherapy elaborating that I did not need to go under. I left her office full of confidence and had a great sense of self belief. On the day of the exam Claire rang me and we had a consolidating session where she reminded me of our discussion. I passed my driving test with only two minor errors. I was elated and saw the effects of working with my unconscious mind.

Claire did not have to ring me on the morning, but she is the kind of person who will go the extra mile for her clients. Thanks Claire I am now happily driving myself around. I highly recommend her to anyone who is considering hypnotherapy. Claire I will be sending a friend to you as he too has failed his exam twice and has booked a third one.

warmest wishes

Terry”

“Initially I was unsure whether hypnotherapy would work in helping me overcome bulimia but knew I needed to try something else. It was controlling my life and other treatments (CBT) had not worked.

The experience was relatively straight forward and I actually found the sessions quite relaxing – and they flew by! Amazingly I noticed small differences within a few sessions, such as being able to relax a lot easier. Then from session 8 onwards I was no longer purging. I’ve not been ill for 6 weeks now, something I thought I’d never be able to do at one point, but it’s been such a release.

Claire is very professional and makes you very relaxed. As long as you are open to being 100% honest and trust your mind, it’s definitely worth doing. I’ve had bulimia for 6 years and within 12 sessions (12 weeks), I’ve become bulimia free and have my life back. I would definitely recommend it to others – truly amazing.

Thank you Claire !”

"Hi Claire

You may remember me coming to see you on Monday for a stop smoking session.

When I booked the appointment I thought that maybe I was hoping for a little too much to break a 30 year habit in one session but as I had discovered I had a serious circulatory problem I had no choice but to try. Well here I am 5 days later and haven't touched a cigarette since our session. I know it is early days but I have a real inner confidence that I have cracked this stupid controlling habit once and for all. Everything in the session made sense and it felt like the 'penny had finally dropped'.

Thank you so much for squeezing me in at short notice and expect to see many friends and family .... I am sending them all your way to be free of this habit once and for all!

Kind regards"

I had my first hypnotherapy session approximately 10 years ago to stop smoking. I am now an ex-smoker and since that very first session I never had a cigarette again. I was a heavy smoker and wanted to give up but was worried about the withdrawal symptoms. With Claire's help I quit there and then. That was the 24th November 1999. What a wonderful present to myself and a great way to start the millennium.

I was understandably apprehensive before the session. I did not know what it entailed. I thought it was like the stage hypnotherapy and that all sorts of ideas would be put into my mind – perhaps I would do all sorts of silly things afterwards. This is not the case. This is just the most beautiful state of relaxation possible. I felt more relaxed then than ever before. I was aware of everything around me but somehow they were not a distraction to me. I was able to concentrate on Claire's voice. All the positive thoughts were put into my head about why giving up smoking was a good thing to do. I felt like I could almost fall asleep. I was just so relaxed. My legs felt heavy and almost as thought they had "pins and needles". Afterwards I was totally awake and refreshed and a non-smoker. Since the first session I have also had some sessions with Claire to help me get through my driving test (I had failed a few times before) and my nerves were getting the better of me. I passed the test the very next day. Hypnotherapy has helped me greatly and I am now driving every day and growing in confidence with each passing day.

I would recommend Claire to anyone who needs help with quitting smoking, confidence building, stress etc. She has been invaluable to me and without her help I would still be a smoker and perhaps have given up my dream of ever being able to drive.

"My daughter (Molly) started having night terrors several months ago & also some awful dreams which were starting to effect her sleeping & resulting in her worrying & being very tired. I think part of it was down to her granddad passing away almost 2 years ago as he was a big part of her life. I was quite apprehensive about taking my 5 year old daughter to see a hypnotherapist as it kind of makes you feel like there is something really wrong when you do something like that. However, I thought there’s not much to lose by trying it.

Molly was quite excited coming to see you & I was the nervous one! I liked the way you suggested I stay with her the whole time & you made us feel very comfortable & relaxed.

As the session went on, Molly seemed to enjoy herself listening to the story & so did I but, I did also think at the time that, how was this going to help with her worries, dreams & night terrors. Surely, if it’s that easy then I could just tell her a story. Anyway, I thought time would tell.

We seemed to have instant results as she was bright as a button the next day & she has only had one slight dream since, which immediately stopped once I mentioned parts of the story you used in the session. There have been no more night terrors, no worrying about being left or anything. It’s pretty amazing really. Do you also work miracles on behaviour Claire?!

I found you very professional at the same time as being very friendly & approachable. I would not hesitate to use you again if I needed to & will also be highly recommending you. Thank you Claire."

I decided to consult Hypnotherapy for Health due to my 6 year old daughter Alice wetting her bed. This had been going on for some time and was causing us all stress and frustration. Claire explained fully to me what would happen during the session. As I hadn't tried hypnotherapy before I didn't know what to expect. Claire made both myself and Alice feel totally at ease and relaxed. She then told a story in which Alice was the main character who solved the problem. Surprisingly at no time was bedwetting mentioned. Alice was very comfortable during the session and took part very well, interacting and making comments. My husband and I are so pleased that after just one session Alice’s bedwetting problem has been completely resolved. I would highly recommend Claire to other parents who are going through the unnecessary trauma and stress which long term bedwetting causes.
