I was a smoker for 7 years, from my teens to now - at 21. I had tried quitting many times, be it with NRT or e-cigs, but none worked for me or just felt like it extended my nicotine addiction. After a scare at the doctors, I decided it was definitely the time for me to quit. However, the nicotine continued to rule my life. I looked into hypnotherapy for quitting smoking and thought it could give...

I have been having difficulties since I met my husband, not that he is the root of the problem you must understand! My family became... for want of a better description, jealous, of the relationship I have with him. It was apparent from day one that we were very compatible. But, having seen bad relationships from the inside out, I was no stranger to abuse and Narcissistic personality disorder....

I had it all. I was just after getting married, I had a good family, friends, a great social life, a well paid job, money in the bank, a wardrobe full of clothes, two holidays a year but yet I felt depressed. I got my wake up call when a friend committed suicide. I knew it could've been me in that grave! I went to a hypnotherapist who took me through analysis and from there, literally turned my...

Experiencing a healthy apprehension before doing something is a feeling most people deal with from time to time, but my fear of heights was beyond what I would consider a healthy apprehension, it was a real fear. My fear stopped me doing even straightforward things in my day to day life. Simply standing on a chair and reaching up to change a light bulb was beyond my ability and attempting to...

I have had insomnia for many years but the problem has escalated in recent months with me either being unable to sleep at all or only for a few hours. My wife suggested trying a hypnotherapist and we found Sarah in your directory. From my original first half hour consultation I found her very easy to talk to. I had hypnotherapy sessions with Sarah when she soon made me realise that the insomnia...

I have been suffering from anxiety and panic attacks for a long time, which I felt I was coping with. However, a trigger from my past made me realise things were not ok, I was feeling very unwell. I contacted a hypnotherapist, with I must say a lot of trepidation, but nothing could make me feel more scared than the awful feelings I was experiencing. Why did I worry! The feeling of being reassured...

I saw a hypnotherapist last year. I had an irrational fear of dogs which was worsening and affecting my daily life. I am no longer fearful of dogs as hypnotherapy has taught me to associate dogs with a positive emotion, and now I rather like them!

I have smoked for over 20 years. I have been very unhappy with my life, for the last year and I am trying to give up smoking again. My husband, an ex-smoker hates it with a passion! My daughter who is 12 years old asks me what it is like smoking. I went to see a local Hypnotherapist hoping for a miracle to break my habit and he has performed one. Thank you, it's the best thing I have done this...

My hypnotherapist has changed my life. After years of struggling with weight management the hypno band and the related work has truly changed my life. I am happy and living a healthy lifestyle. Free from the demons of over eating I enjoy life and healthy foods and exercise. Would highly praise this form of therapy. No magic wand has to be committed to change and willing to work with the...
