Since having hypnotherapy my mind has settled into a calmer way of thinking. My enthusiasm for life has increased and I'm less stressed at looking for answers. I am taking in pieces of information from lots of different sources and starting to understand the relevance. After the first session, I am already seeing results.

I had been smoking for 30 years and had decided that I, well and truly, needed to stop. I tried every single aid on the market available to me but I always went back to smoking - starting just with a couple, until the number of cigarettes started creeping up again.

I've always been an anxious person and always wanted some more confidence. I decided to go and see a hypnotherapist, and immediately felt comfortable with her. She started by talking about the situations I was anxious in and asked if anything had happened to knock my confidence when I was younger. After talking things through with her, I felt like she understood why I was there and felt...
