About me
Why Hypnotherapy may be the best decision you've ever made
I’m Vicky, and I help people feel calmer, more in control, and more themselves again. With over 21 years’ experience as a hypnotherapist, I’ve supported hundreds of people through anxiety, smoking cessation, and many other challenges including sleep issues, confidence, stress and general wellbeing.
Many of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for change. Whether you’re dealing with anxious thoughts, unhelpful patterns, or a habit you’re determined to break, you’ll find a calm, supportive space where you can begin to move forward.
What Sessions Feel Like
You’ll find me easy to talk to, inclusive, and completely non‑judgemental. Together we’ll explore what’s going well, what you want more of, and how your mind can begin to shift in a way that feels natural and empowering. Hypnosis then helps your brain build new, helpful pathways so change becomes easier than you might expect.
🚭 Stop Smoking in One Session
If you’re ready to quit smoking, I offer a powerful one‑session stop‑smoking appointment. Hypnotherapy can significantly reduce cravings and make the process feel smoother and more achievable. You choose your quit date, book your session, and we work together to help you stop for good.
A Welcoming Space for Everyone
Although anxiety and smoking cessation are areas I specialise in, I regularly support clients with a wide variety of issues. If something in your life isn’t working the way you want it to, you’re very welcome here.

Areas of hypnotherapy I deal with
info Information about health conditions (*)
Hypnotherapy can enhance the well-being of individuals diagnosed with serious medical conditions, but should not take the place of medical treatment and advice. If you have been diagnosed with - or suspect you may have - any of these conditions, please speak to your doctor before starting hypnotherapy.
Other areas of hypnotherapy I deal with
I am trained in Level 1 and Level 2 BWRT (BrainWorking Recursive Therapy)
Hypnotherapy and BWRT are completely different therapies and would not be mixed together in a single session. BWRT is not a form of hypnotherapy and does not use trance states, however it can complement hypnotherapy nicely, or work as a stand alone therapy, for those seeking help for many, many conditions.
BWRT is a method of psychology that is very fast and effective. Clients can have sessions of hypnotherapy and / or BWRT at different times for a very comprehensive treatment package.
BWRT Level 1 can help with the following areas:
- Commitment Anxiety
- Phobias
- Panic attacks
- Generalised anxiety disorder
- Exam anxiety
- Social Phobia
- Success Inhibition
- Fear of failure
- All types of Performance Anxiety
- Self Worth/Self-Confidence Issues
- Fear of Authority
- Relationship Issues
- Grief
- PTSD
and BWRT 2 can deal with even deeper issues, including:
- Alcoholism
- OCD
- Gambling
- Postnatal Depression
- Depression
- Eating Disorders
- Binge eating and drinking
- Addictions
- Sexual problems
- Bullying (relationship or school)
- Substance Abuse

Some Testimonials taken from my Facebook Page and Google Review - Real Feedback by Real People
"As the hours ticked by, I was more and more astonished at how long it was since I last had a cigarette - and how little I wanted one. Suffice to say the entire day passed smoke free - and without me climbing the walls with withdrawal cravings. In fact, it was easy, almost an anti-climax and I haven't smoked since.
After nearly forty years of enslavement, I am free from the burden of smoking. After a week and a half of not suffocating myself to death my chest and lungs feel a lot lighter - and my wallet is considerably heavier with the money I have already saved. Friends and other smokers have been amazed that I could go from decades of smoking to nil literally overnight and it's already obvious that a few are intrigued and half-thinking about trying the hypnotherapy route. I've got your card in my wallet and if any of them get the point where they are serious about escaping the smoking trap I'll refer them to you in a heartbeat." Leics
Fantastic life changing therapy with a caring and understanding lady!
Vicky has helped me so much in many areas of my life using Hypnotherapy and Brain Working Recursive Therapy (BWRT).
She has done an amazing job helping me overcome anxiety amongst other things.
Take a look, she can work wonders with a wide variety of problems.
I strongly recommend her.
I can’t thank you enough Vicky xx
Vicky has turned my life around. Days after my first session I was sleeping well. After a few sessions I was able to manage my anxiety and stress without resorting to coping mechanisms such as eating a whole pack of biscuits. Every aspect of my life has improved and I feel like myself again. ST, LeicesterI visited Vicky on Wednesday 2nd of August 2017 for a session of BWRT. The day my life changed and I will never forget it. I had been experiencing and altered mood and had become very low and isolated. Having tried other routes I was lucky enough, finally to find Vicky. I left her home therapy room with a smile on my face ... I am like the Cheshire Cat. My hubby is overwhelmed by the change in me. My anxiety has left and I am calmer and concentrated. Amazing. I would highly recommend Vicky who is a lovely lady, with a fabulous comfy chair and extraordinary talent. Thank you for helping my Vicky, I will be telling everyone about you and Trance for a Change. JA, Leicestershire
Vicky is a lovely lady who really puts me at ease. She explains how the brain works with hypnotherapy which makes it easier for me to relate to the process. Having said that, I haven't a clue what it is she's actually doing as I'm in such a comfortable, relaxed state I can only really remember waking up (or coming to, as I'm not actually asleep). All I know is that I float out of her treatment room and that I'm feeling better after only a few visits. Thank you so much Vicky. See you soon. JR, Stoke Golding
Vicky has really helped me over the last couple of months with my anxieties, hypnotherapy has given me a whole new lease of life. Fully recommend this wonderful lady to anyone who struggles with things like anxiety!! Thank you so much Vicky :) BM, Coventry
Vicky helped me to stop biting my nails after 30 years or more. I haven't bitten them since. It was the only thing that worked for me hypnotherapy. LS, Leicester
Vicky is a wonderful therapist who I would recommend to everyone. She has the most soothing voice and caring nature. She genuinely is one of the nicest and most supportive people I have ever met xx
