What My Clients Say

*Mr G, Diss

This was it, we were going to Rome, on a flight, I had two months to prepare! I hadn’t been in a ‘plane for fifteen years and since that time I had developed a real fear of enclosed spaces, lifts, travelling on the underground, even workplace conferences and large concert venues. I would get nervous days or even weeks before and as the event or journey neared this would increase; I would feel faint, shake, sweat profusely and feel nauseous. I had tried avoidance techniques, focusing techniques, yoga and mindfulness. I was still terrified and recognised I needed help.

Wendy was recommended by a friend who noted real improvements in her mind set following two sessions (with Wendy). With the only real alternative being prescription drugs, which in any event wouldn’t allay my building trepidation as the holiday and flight loomed, I was willing to give hypnotherapy “a go.”

I was a little anxious about taking this step as frankly I was not a little embarrassed; however, Wendy was speedy to return my initial enquiry and very welcoming on the ‘phone. I felt re-assured and booked a session.

Our initial discussion was very straightforward and Wendy’s approach and manner made it easy for me to explain my fears and concerns in an honest and open way. Offered a first hypnotherapy “session” immediately after this conversation I readily agreed…and felt fine afterwards. Wendy then sent me a cd with a shorter recorded session, which I used daily and which over a very short time brought notable effects in my daily life. Events which had previously been “difficult” were absolutely fine, the usual symptoms just didn’t materialise.

A second “booster” session was undertaken prior to the big day and I felt very ready for the journey. I hadn’t experienced any of the anxiety leading up to the holiday that I was expecting and felt very calm and in control. The flight(s) were fine, I experienced only the normal sensation(s) as the ‘plane took off and levelled off, but enjoyed both flights. It was and is a genuine and real revelation.

My thanks to Wendy and I heartily recommend taking the step to meet Wendy and try hypnotherapy for whatever reason(s) you wish to.*

*"Hello Wendy, I just wanted to let you know that I got into the University to study Classics. Thank you for all your help in getting me through my A levels, I shall be forever grateful."*

*"I just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you for helping me with my fear of flying. As I explained it had stopped me from doing so many things. I was so grateful to be seen at such short notice and I could not believe how in control I was using the CD and the simple relaxation techniques you taught me. I have already started recommending you to friends and colleagues."*

*"I contacted Wendy after having a couple of falls off my horse, which had really knocked my confidence, to the extent that I was no longer enjoying riding, although I still wanted to.

After two sessions with Wendy, I have found my enjoyment returning along with my confidence. Each time I ride things improve. I had never considered hypnotherapy before and didn't know what to expect, but what I have found is that somehow it changes your mindset which then enables you to make the changes that you want. The CD Wendy gave me is also very useful in keeping me on track. Wendy is very kind, calming and approachable and I would have no hesitation in recommending her."*

*"I realised that I had a drink problem and in November last year I decided I needed to give up alcohol permanently. With Xmas parties and New Year celebrations ahead, I knew I had a mountain to climb. However, with sessions from Wendy and a CD to help me through the festive period I am truly in the beyond. With no desire to drink or regrets about saying goodbye to it, the best decision that I have ever made was seeking the help of Wendy to coach this change."*

*"I felt I must write and thank you for my consultation. As soon as I arrived home I opened a bottle of wine, as usual, and then started preparing a meal. We ate our meal accompanied by a glass of wine, but that glass of wine lasted all evening! I finally went to bed feeling tired but very relaxed. I can't thank you enough and look forward to my next consultation.

The CD is working well too."*

*"I'm happy to report that I'm still smoke free! I'm finding it fine at the moment actually. I barely think about it any more, so thank you so much!! I think I've cracked it this time and I'll be safe to leave the complementary follow-up."*

*"I guess most people who try hypnosis for the first time wonder if it will work for them. I'd been told by health professionals that my personality wasn't right for this treatment. I'm pleased to report that I've had wonderful results, better than I could have hoped for.

Wendy's approach is caring and considered and the sessions with Wendy were well structured yet informal. I was given all the time I needed to discuss all sorts of topics that were then addressed in the hypnosis itself. Initially I didn't know what to expect, but everything was very 'normal' and the deeply relaxing hypnosis session was just an extension of what we had been talking about. I have already recommended Wendy to friends.

I'm a down-to-earth kind of bloke with no experience of alternative therapies. I thought I would try this. It worked."*

*"I just wanted to let you know that I received your CD yesterday, thank you very much. I really enjoyed the session and will be in touch if I feel I need to see you again. I have been sleeping really well since I saw you which is lovely."*

*"Hi Wendy

As per normal you've sorted us all out. Thank you for everything and all your support. I will email you after the wedding to let you know how it went. Take care,"*

*"Your input has done a huge amount for X's confidence. All I wanted was for her to be happy with herself as she is and you have achieved this. Thank you!"*

*"Wendy, I had to send you a quick email to say thank you for today.

[My Daughter] was yabbering the whole way home and said she felt really comfortable talking to you. I don't know what you did but my daughter is smiling again. Thank you."*

*"I'm getting on really well and generally feeling a lot happier. I am also doing so well at work that I have been offered a promotion. The hypnosis seems to have done wonders and I would definitely recommend you to anyone that was struggling."*

*"I believe that the sessions I had with you contributed enormously to my recovery and I still find elements of some of the therapy coming back to me at times when I need them."*

*"I sought help with Wendy after finding myself in a position of work-related stress and exhaustion which I think was manifesting itself in mini panic attacks and culminated in two months off work. This was a situation that was totally alien to me as a strong-minded individual who has always worked full-time in positions of authority whilst being a mum to my 15 year old son. I had also suffered from IBS for a number of years and naturally the period of stress has exacerbated my stomach pains which were occurring on a daily basis. I also felt frightened that I would not be able to return to work and had subsequently lost confidence in my abilities.

I did not know what to expect on my first visit to Wendy and felt a little nervous of hypnotherapy. However, Wendy immediately put me at ease. I don't know how it worked but since that first session I have not experienced any of my IBS symptoms and have felt much more relaxed in general. I went for a second session about a month later just prior to returning to work which consolidated my progress and I successfully returned to work.

Wendy provided me with a personalised CD which I listen to on a daily basis. I find this incredibly helpful in my daily life and it immediately relaxes me - it is a bit like a 'comfort blanket'.

Hypnotherapy has indeed been life-changing for me and I would wholeheartedly recommend it."*
