I can plug my hypnotherapy all day long but what really counts are the voices of the people whose lives I helped turn around.
"Unfortunately I have always been very anxious about going to the dentist but in the past couple of years my dentist, who is lovely and very patient, has not been able to take an X-ray due to my gagging reflex.
I joked that I needed hypnotherapy and my dentist thought that would be a good idea and put me in touch with Mandy. I had a telephone conversation with Mandy who explained the process and how it could help me. She made me an audio recording to listen to regularly.
So today I went to my dentist and using Mandy's technique, to the delight of my dentist and myself, I managed to have an X-ray taken without gagging."
"My problem was a needle phobia – I would pass out when having injections or blood taken.
Mandy helped me with one session of hypnotherapy and a follow up audio tape to help me with the therapy.
After this I was able to administer daily injections on myself which has changed my life because it allowed me to have a healthy pregnancy.
I would recommend Mandy because she was calm, reassuring, kind and she really listened. I can't believe that she was able to help me with my needle phobia but it really worked!
I'm not a big fan of mindfulness and meditation which made me sceptical about hypnotherapy but Mandy has changed my life."
"I suffer from claustrophobia, which has become increasingly severe (and debilitating) over time and for many years I have gone out of my way to avoid situations where I would find myself confined or constrained in any way eg lifts, buses, trains, tunnels, the dentist!
I have had one session of hypnotherapy which has helped me find ways to manage my anxiety. While I am still a work in progress I now feel confident enough to have begun routinely travelling by bus and train once again, something I haven't done in a long time … small steps, but so liberating.
I found Mandy to be warm and empathetic; she listened to me with great care and took the time to learn what I was having difficulties with. I recommend her to anyone with similar issues and will not hesitate to see her again if needed. Thank you Mandy."
"My problem was that I had a deep fear of having dental treatment born out of a very painful and traumatic visit to a dentist over twenty years ago. This fear made me very anxious when visiting any dentist and I would be very tense and afraid throughout each visit.
Mandy helped me with one session of hypnotherapy and a follow up audio tape to help with the therapy.
After this I was able to remain calm and it took away the fear I had always had when visiting the dentist and receiving treatment. I was able to be relaxed in the chair and hold a calm frame of mind throughout the visit.
This has changed my life in that since our session I was able to undergo a series of extensive treatments in a positive and controlled state of mind.
I would recommend Mandy because she has such a good manner was very understanding and sympathetic to my fear and anxiety. She was confident I would benefit from our session of hypnotherapy and she was right!"
"My problem was a lifelong debilitating fear of needles, even in a movie, or a picture, or at the vet for my cat.
I would faint (and worse) simply being in a room with a syringe. I have even instinctively hit people holding a vaccine or blood test.
With the covid vaccine looming I spent two months sweating, shaking and feeling sick every time I even thought about it or tried to book an appointment.
Mandy helped me with 1 session of hypnotherapy online (and a follow up audio file to help me with the therapy).
After this,I was able to book and go to the appointments, and although I still cried and felt a bit distraught, I managed to go through it quickly and without any of the usual dreadful problems I would normally have.
I feel I might need another session to make it an even less uncomfortable experience.
Another positive outcome is that I also booked an appointment with the dentist for the first time in 20 years and started taking better care of myself.
I think it is related as we talked about doing positive things for my health during the session.
I would recommend Mandy because she is gentle and kind."
