"Nicola has given me a kind of inner peace and boosted my confidence too. She is a lovely lady and I thank her from the bottom of my heart for all her help, thank you."

"I have thought about hypnotherapy for years, but due to my own scepticism and negative advice from others, I put it off. Finally, due to desperation and no helpful alternative therapy through the NHS I took the plunge after an acquaintance's recommeation. For the first time in years I finally feel good about myself and what I have achieved, instead of feeling negatively about what I have not. I have some new inner feelings of contentment, excitement and peace that I have never felt, or just can't remember as it was so long ago. After a lot of stressful/emotional events in my life, like many others I am sure, I just felt trodden down and worn out. Most of life's events/experiences had started to feel like chores, but this is now changing to enjoyment. After many years of sleepless nights, I am sleeping really well. All of the above has has helped me, and in turn my family. I think somewhere along the line I had actually forgotten how to laugh and relax. After a few weeks of therapy with Nicola I feel I have acceptance of previous life experiences and I can now let go of things that I just couldn't do earlier. I feel like my heavy emotional baggage has now been lightened. I am not fully there yet, but I am well on the way and seem to see situations and people in a different more positive way. This is thanks to Nicolas warming, charming, fun and positive ora. I find myself spilling all of my worries and feelings without even realising it and would recommend to everyone to at least ring and arrange a free consultation. It has changed my life and I do not know where I would be now if I hadn't made that first phone call. Thank you Nicola xxxxxxx
