Testimonial *****I’m really grateful for the work I did with Louise. Her Hypnotherapy, NLP and positive affirmations helped me more than I can put into words. When I first started, I was very stuck in the past and focused heavily on negative thoughts. I was living in constant fight-or-flight, had low confidence, felt very sensitive, and struggled to move forward in life. Anxiety was a big part of my day-to-day experience. Through Louise’s patience, guidance, and methods, things gradually began to shift. The hypnosis and NLP helped me change how I think and respond internally, and the affirmations helped rewire long-standing negative patterns. Over time, I became calmer, more grounded, and more confident in myself. I no longer feel anxious or trapped in fear. I feel much more connected to who I am, able to live in the present, and move forward without constantly looking back. I genuinely feel like I’ve found my identity and inner strength again, and I continue to feel better and better every day. I’m very thankful for Louise’s support and would highly recommend her to anyone struggling with anxiety, depression, low confidence, or feeling stuck

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The CNHC encompasses many types of alternative therapy, including hypnotherapy. In order to be admitted to the register a practitioner must have studied to the National Occupational Standards for that profession/discipline, or have reached the equivalent of the National Occupational Standards through other relevant training or at least three years of experience and been assessed by their peers. A practitioner must also have professional insurance and agree to abide by the CNHC Code of Conduct, Performance and Ethics.
Hypnotherapists may become members of the General Hypnotherapy Register if they satisfy certain criteria with regard to both training and ongoing requirements as determined from time to time by the General Hypnotherapy Standards Council (GHSC). Members are either registered at Practitioner status (which confirms that the GHR acknowledges their qualification to practice), or Affiliate status. Although Affiliate level registrants will have completed a sufficient number of training hours to equip them to commence seeing clients on a limited basis, the GHR does not acknowledge them to have yet been trained to full practitioner level. All GHR Registered Practitioners are required to accept the published Code of Ethics and Complaints & Disciplinary Procedure.
The National Hypnotherapy Society is a Learned Society whose primary purpose is the advancement of the knowledge of hypnotherapy and the fostering of professional hypnotherapy expertise through training, accreditation and continued professional development of their members. The Society seeks to contribute to public wellbeing both through the use of hypnotherapy and by ensuring that hypnotherapists are safe, competent and ethical in practice.
The National Council for Hypnotherapy holds one of the largest registers of independent Hypnotherapists in the United Kingdom and strives to maintain the highest standards among its members. There is an agreed Code of Conduct, an established Complaints & Disciplinary Procedure and all members are obliged to maintain comprehensive Public Liability & Professional Indemnity Insurance, maintain regular CPD (continuing professional development) hours, and attend Supervision when needed.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Since seeing Louise I have learnt to take control of the issues I had regarding food which has plagued me for years and am now achieving the weight loss that has been so difficult in the past. Louise is easy to talk to, sympathetic and highly professional and I would wholeheartedly recommend her."

How will you know you are better?
Allow me to be a part of your journey because I'm only as good as my patients' successes. The following are just a few of the five-star reviews that I regularly receive from past patients.
Exam Anxiety - I Passed!
I went to see Louise 7 years ago to help me with blushing and anxiety. Throughout the hypnotherapy sessions, Louise helped me understand my triggers and I was able to deal with them. Louise gave me the tools to help myself and taught me how to do self-hypnosis which I use to re-centre myself.
I went to see Louise again on Friday as I had an exam on Saturday. Due to failing the maths exam twice and if I failed it a third time I would lock myself out of teacher training for two years. I had built it up so much that's I was full of anxiety and fear of failing.
The hypnotherapy session with Louise was fantastic and she helped me to clear my mind, believe in myself and relax.
Whilst taking my exam I was able to push the pressure of having to pass away and I was able to focus clearly on the questions.
I passed the exam!! :0)
Thank you so much, Louise x
Amazing
I went to Louise for a fear of flying. I found after only a couple of sessions she really calmed me down and was very quick to understand me and giving me coping techniques to overcome my fear which I did. I also feel that Louise has been amazing always there for words of guidance I would strongly recommend her.
Amazing Louise!

So happy I can smile again! - Priceless
Amazing work, back on track. Thanks, Louise :-)
I don’t know how she did it but after seeing Louise Levy last Friday I went home put my teeth in and I was absolutely fine. No gagging whatsoever. I have been keeping them in all the time now. Going out and eating in them-it is amazing. When I came to Louise for hypnotherapy I was desperately trying to wear my new false teeth without gagging. I had very negative thoughts thinking it would not work and cannot believe what has happened after just one visit it is amazing. I had a dental appointment yesterday and my Dentist was most impressed as he knew how bad I was. I hope you don’t mind Louise but they have put your contact details onto their computer so that any other patients with my problem can contact you.I am going to the O A P
Christmas party today and I feel so happy that I can wear my teeth and “Smile”.
Thank you Louise for helping me. If ever I have any problems I shall come to you.
Thank you Louise
Louise is a very experienced therapist. She listened without judgment, gently guided me to see the root of the problems and taught me techniques to deal with them. I always felt much more positive and light-hearted after each session. Thank you Louise.
Thank you Louise
When I first met Louise I was an emotional wreck, I really wasn't feeling myself at all.
I was recommended to Louise when I met her she instantly made me feel at ease, she didn't judge me at all.
I had 6 hypnotherapy sessions in all and I can honestly say I am 100% better/happier and back to thinking/feeling like me again.
Thank you again, Louise!
Amazing Transformation
After just 4 sessions with Louise, my teenage son has been transformed from a nervous depressed state back to his old fun loving self.
He spent 18 months feeling unwell/nauseous, sleeping badly, hardly eating and struggling to go out for fear of actually being unwell.
With Louise's help, he is now working hard, sleeping and eating normally and really enjoying life.
Wish we hadn't waited so long to seek help!
I highly recommend Louise Levy.
Life Changing! I'm so much happier!
You put the fun back into motherhood!
We contacted Louise Levy late in 2015 because we have an eight-year-old son who is autistic and was struggling with anxiety issues and was displaying some of the early signs of OCD.
Though our son had had some counselling before, he'd never really enjoyed the process and we'd struggled to find someone and somewhere where he felt comfortable enough to relax and talk about the things that were Read More
I went to see Louise because in the past I have suffered bad stage nerves. She is an excellent listener and came up with a treatment plan quickly. I only saw her 4 times after my initial assessment and, after my last treatment, I didn't know if it had worked. I am pleased to say it did! I have just completed a 17 performance run in Panto and thoroughly enjoyed it, nothing but a slight flutter (which you need) Thank you, Louise, you certainly put the fun back into it for me.
Dawn.
Louise is professional, approachable, understanding and warm. She managed to cut through years of issues in a clear and swift approach that really worked for me. I would highly recommend Louise to anyone who needs help. I can't praise her highly enough. Thank you, Louise.
Confident Woman
My experience with Louise has turned out to be very positive. In just 6 sessions, so many issues have been tackled successfully, these would have taken many months or possibly years of psychotherapy. Limiting beliefs have been dissolved, confidence and self-worth have emerged. Friends and family have noticed a big change in me. I highly recommend Louise.
Very understanding
Louise makes you feel at ease, anybody thinking of going to see Louise I would highly recommend! really lovely lady and very good at her job.
I highly recommend Louise, especially to anyone suspecting a psychosomatic illness. Having been there herself, she is better qualified than most to help you. I found the hypnotherapy particularly valuable in getting to the root cause of many of my symptoms.
She is also a kind and caring person who makes you feel supported and was very accessible between sessions.
Recommended by a friend - so grateful!
My son had suffered from separation issues for several years and often would get very anxious before going away with the school, scouts, anywhere without us, his parents. Louise was recommended very highly by a friend. My son was understandably nervous, but Louise took the time to explain everything thoroughly, allowing him to make decisions to help him throughout the hypnotherapy sessions, all which resulted in a very positive outcome. For the first time, he looked forward to going away without stressing and felt more in control of his feelings. For me, as his mother wondering whether I was doing the right thing for him, I would answer that with a very definite YES!

Daughter so much happier - Am so relieved!
I can't thank Louise enough, I want to thank her for all what she has done for our daughter. I have seen a big change in her over the last few weeks after completing her treatment. I feel that I have my daughter back she is laughing and more positive about everything! Before seeing Louise I was very concerned about my daughters general well being. It was a very worrying and painful time for our family. Thankfully now after visiting Louise, our daughter is now looking forward and not looking back!

Careers Advice and Guidance - Professional support when it was needed
I have had only one session with Louise Levy, for careers coaching, and I have found it extremely helpful. Having felt completely lost, once deciding to change career, Louise was able to help discover my skill set and give direction in my career search. I no longer feel as though I’m searching for a needle in a haystack.
Thank you for your guidance
Raj.
Desperate!
After a very desperate time, my Aunt had found Louise’s details on the internet and thought she was best suited to help my mum with the problems she had been suffering. My mum had been through sleepless nights, anxiousness and a childhood phobia related to her ear.
Louise took the time to really understand what the issues were and then gave practical and sound advice. Louise was great at identifying deeper rooted issues that my mum wasn’t even aware of and helped address them.
The hypnotherapy was great and really worked for mum. It has felt like a long journey and Louise has been so patient and helped my mum’s confidence and self-belief. We cannot thank her enough and I know that she is always there if we ever need her in the future.
If you are suffering from any emotional difficulty I can highly recommend Louise and know you will get results and be a stronger person able to cope with anything in life.
I understand myself so much better
Having seen Louise on a few occasions for different personal issues relating to stress, pain, alcohol and simply understanding myself better I can say with absolute confidence that her services have never let me down. Always professional, kind and so understanding with a wide knowledge of everything that I have taken in with me (emotionally speaking).
Thomas Wyatt-Minter - Transformative!
This has really transformed my life for the better. I now look forward to what each day brings.
And I embrace the future with a confident and positive attitude.
Thank you Louise!
