Leah Bevan Hypnotherapy

After suffering from arachnophobia I really felt like something needed to change. Leah has been just fantastic. I had 6 sessions and my anxiety around spiders has all but disappeared. She really understood and by explaining the science behind my fear she made me feel like it was something that I could really take control over. She provided supportive audio that I could listen to at home and I have left with strategies to use the next time I encounter them unexpectedly . I could feel the progress I was making each time I left her lovely office. Others also noticed the positive changes. I only wish I had seen her sooner. More...

When I came to Leah, I was in quite a bad way after a nasty break up. Couldn’t sleep, eat or concentrate on anything. I was struggling a lot with day to day activities. To the point of not really wanting to leave the house. After the first meeting I knew Leah could help me. After each session I felt better and better, till I started to feel like me again. Without Leah’s help this situation would have taken a lot longer and had a much worse impact on my life. Whatever your situation is this Lady can definitely help. Can’t really thank her enoughPete More...

I can not recommend Leah highly enough. She has been pivotal to not only overcoming some mental health challenges, but also helped me overcome some self limiting beliefs. She has been a pillar of support, a kind, listening ear, and a guiding compass. More...

I originally contacted Leah as I wanted to use hypnosis to aid child birth. I have suffered with depression and anxiety for many years. I have seen a total of seven different counsellors over the last 18 years looking at dealing with and understanding issues from the past and how these relationships have, and continue to impact on my life. I was very apprehensive about becoming a mum because of my own upbringing and family dynamic. When I initially met Leah, she very quickly put my mind at ease in terms of her being able to support me to prepare for labour using hypnosis. She also suggested using hypnosis as a solution focused therapy in terms of helping me with my general anxiety and depression. I was delighted to have the opportunity to work on all areas of concern with someone who had listened and understood my needs so well. The therapy that Leah delivered was absolutely fantastic. She listened to my needs and took the time to explain the reasoning behind the theory. After so many years of feeling like the past and my family dynamic would always impact on my life it was incredibly refreshing to undergo therapy that looked forward in terms of how I wanted things to be rather than looking back at how things were/are. I found the solution focused nature of the therapy incredibly refreshing and useful and felt truly empowered to change the future that I was so anxious about because of the impact of the past. In terms of preparing for child birth, as an anxious person it was really useful to feel like I was being proactive in preparing for labour in the best way possible. After working with Leah I was not at all concerned about the birth, I knew that it was a completely natural process and that my body would know how to work through the labour. I was very conscious that I wanted to remain calm throughout the birth and with the help of hypnosis I was able to achieve this. My labour lasted 30 hours and was not without complication, however, because of the hypnotherapy I was able to stay calm and relaxed throughout the process which definitely helped the physical process. I was very anxious about having a child but because of the work that I did with Leah, I was able to put my own anxiety to rest and to enjoy meeting and holding my son for the first time. I continued to see Leah for the first few weeks of motherhood, to help me to adjust to this huge change in my circumstances and to ensure that I was in the right place emotionally to be able to look after our son. I cannot believe how much I am loving being a mum. It has changed my life! And without hypnotherapy I would not have been able to look forward to and enjoy this wonderful life experience. Our son is thriving and is a lovely and calm little boy. He has slept through the night from 9 weeks old and is a generally very calm and content child. My husband and I believe that this is largely due to the fact that I was able to remain calm throughout the birth and that we are both very calm in the way that we look after him. The few times that he has been particularly upset I have been able to use my hypnotherapy relaxation techniques to slow my breathing and heart rate whilst holding him and so he has been able to regulate his own breathing and heart rate and calm down himself. Hypnotherapy is invaluable!! Even though I am no longer seeing Leah I am able to use the techniques she taught me to positively influence my mood in preparing and dealing with life events, it is fantastic! Hypnotherapy with Leah has completely changed my life, for the first time in my adult life I am happy, relaxed and truly enjoying life. Without Leah I would not have been emotionally able to enjoy this wonderful stage in my life, let alone be able to care for my Son in the way that I am able to now. I have gone from someone who frequently had suicidal thoughts to someone who is genuinely able to enjoy and love life. I cannot recommend Leah highly enough. I really am eternally grateful for the impact that solution focused hypnotherapy with Lead has had on my life. More...
