Finding my inner strengthI was feeling overwhelmed with an ongoing medical condition and the pain of losing my Brother to Cancer this Summer. I felt like I had the weight of the world on my shoulders. I had read some reviews of people’s experiences with Hypnotherapy so decided to book an appointment with Helen. She has a calm and friendly personality and I immediately felt at ease. As a result I felt somehow lighter and managed a good nights sleep which is something I had missed for a long time. She helped me to process details and relieve feelings of guilt and pain and to understand myself better. I would not hesitate to recommend Helen .... thank you so much! More...

I will always be grateful for the day I called in at Quay Place and was introduced to Helen. I was in considerable emotional distress having been suffering from severe depression and anxiety for about six months. Helen was friendly and empathetic, and reassured me that she would be able to help me.Prior to my first appointment I completed her initial assessment form which enabled her to have an idea of my background and my hopes for recovery which meant in my first session she was able to look in greater depth at the issues causing me distress. She listened carefully, was non-judgemental in her approach and along with the hypnosis session was able to suggest several other experiential activities I could engage in immediately to help reduce my distress. Following each session Helen sent me a recording of the hypnosis which I then used at home each day. Now fully recovered, I am enjoying life again and cannot thank Helen enough for the ways she has helped me and it is reassuring to know that I can contact her again at any point for another session should I feel the need. I have no hesitation in recommending her to others who find themselves in emotional difficulty. More...

I cannot recommend Helen enough. I did not realise it was possible to change what I thought were simply my 'character traits' - After seeing her I feel freer, more confident and much much happier. There is so much less negativity in my life, I wish I had seen her years ago! More...

I have been seeing Helen for the past few months now to deal with long standing mental health issues that I have been struggling with recently. I had tried everything else that was available to try and beat it but nothing work. Within a few sessions, both me and my family started to notice rapid improvements, it was incredible. Helen is exceedingly professional and fantastic and enthusiastic with her work. Highly recommended.Thanks once again Helen, I am going to miss our chats. More...

Helen helped our daughter at a crucial time and we could see a rapid impact with our daughter taking a calmer and more positive approach to the challenges she was dealing with. The private recordings were particularly useful and we can see more reationalising and a more reflective approach as she approaches the next set of life adventures. Thank you Helen. More...

I contacted Helen to help me with my fear of heights, I regularly take part in obstacle course races and with some of the obstacles being at height my fear was holding me back. Having Hypnotherapy has enabled me to choose to succeed at things that would have been a source of anxiety and fear. I feel more confident to fulfil my potential in not just obstacles at height but in my running and general fitness. Also as a result of the Hypnotherapy I feel generally calmer and in control. I attended a recent board meeting at work and was more confident in my delivery of information.Helen was professional and encouraging throughout and has such a warm personality, I highly recommend her to anyone feeling they are being held back in anyway. I feel the whole process was an investment in myself and my future and incredibly worthwhile.Thank you Helen More...

I had heard of Helen's work in the past and so when I realised anxiety was getting the better of me I called her. Even after the first session I felt better and after a few months I have an armoury of coping techniques and feel like a new man - more relaxed generally and much more able to cope. I would highly recommend Helen to anyone suffering with anxiety or just wanting to improve their general wellbeing. I wish I had seen her years ago before things got too bad. More...

I had a fantastic session with Helen, who is Kind, friendly and makes you feel at ease straight away. I went in with a burden of stress and came away feeling so much more relaxed and calm within myself; the Kinetic Shift technique she uses is mind blowing and amazing! The next time I need to deal with any stress or anxiety, I'll be giving Helen a call for sure! ☺ More...

I put my daughter in touch with Helen following years of her battling with anxiety. As a parent I had tried everything possible to try and find the outgoing, chatting child she used to be before this horrible ‘thing’ took hold. There is so much pressure on young people to succeed these days and anxiety is unfortunately very common. After years of trying different types of therapy she told me she didn’t want to see any more councillors just to be asked what makes her anxious when she had no idea herself. I had heard so many good things about Helen and although I had never thought about Hypotherapy for my daughter, I wanted to find out more. Having chatted with Helen, she was confident she could help. Well we have not looked back; my daughter is in her second year of uni is growing in confidence. She is seeing this as a very positive experience. She is continuing to see Helen, even though she is at uni she has Skype sessions. As Helen has told me, my daughter may always have anxiety but Helen has given her the tools to cope. One of the best accolades is when one of my daughter’s uni friends recently told me that she has seen such a positive change in my daughter since she’s been seeing Helen. As a parent that was the best thing I’ve heard in a very long time . If you have anything that’s holding you back from having a healthy happy life then Helen is your lady. Thank you so much Helen for helping my daughter, you are amazing x More...

If you’re unsure of the credibility and benefits of hypnotherapy then take it from my personal experiences ; it’s worth it ! Having been terrified of flying for as long as I can remember , just one session with Helen alleviated my angst and, dare I say it, enabled me to actually enjoy the flight as part of my overall holiday experience! So when Helen suggested I try a session to help me overcome a recently acquired fear of skiing then I thought ‘ Why not ! Give it a go ! ‘ I had suffered a serious accident and injury the year before and though I had been skiing for years and was confident and competent, I was feeling very anxious and nervous about an upcoming ski trip – the first since my accident ! As Helen explained, whilst she couldn’t ‘ fix' any physical impairments as a consequence of the accident, she could help me overcome my new found fear and anxiousness and help me to regain my confidence and love of this sport.As before, when I visited her in regards to flying, she was very professional and made me feel at ease. She talked me through what may be 'blocking' my confidence and gave me strategies to use, should I need, on the slopes. I went away feeling particularly buoyant and confident. Though I now had the coping mechanisms and optimism that Helen had instilled within me I was still a bit nervous at the top of the first slope . However I was able to overcome my initial reticence, using the various approaches that Helen had talked about in our session . Whilst I didn’t exactly sprint down the mountain, for the first few runs , I was skiing ! And furthermore I felt calm and within a few more runs I felt more like my old self ! I know that I've got Helen to thank for enabling me to believe in myself again and giving me the positivity and self assurance required to return to doing something I enjoy ! More...

I feel happy nowBefore I went to see Helen my life seemed to be closing in. I was finding it hard to cope with every day events without getting anxious - I could no longer even travel in the front seat of the car because it felt as if we might crash at any moment! Small things felt unduly important and I felt overwhelmed. Helen’s sessions gave me strategies which immediately took effect. Over a few weeks I felt the panic subside and I was able to do things I’d previously avoided. The journey with Helen has been fascinating. I’m happier with myself and happier generally than I’ve been for a long time. She’s given me the tools to cope with whatever comes along next but it’s good to know that she’s still there should I need support in the future. More...

I came to Helen with a long history of fear of flying. I had tried other Hypnotherapists in the past with varying degrees of success so I don't mind admitting I didn't hold out much hope. Helen's approach is like none other I have experienced. There is something about her personality that you instantly warm to so she easily puts you at ease, listens and understands.I couldn't put my finger on what it was about flying that bothered me, since the thought of flying and going on holiday I loved. I've always been fascinated with planes. But the actual act of flying from the moment I got to the airport to the moment I landed had me in a right mess.Helen listened to what I had to say, listened to the things I wasn't saying and with a couple of sessions prior to a long haul flight by the time I started my journey to the airport I was a different person. I'm a lot calmer and far less fearful. I don't know how she did it but she was amazing it and it felt wonderful.I would recommend Helen to anyone without hesitation her unique brand, her personality are sure to bring you results whatever your issue might be.

So here's the thing......
I loathe flying and as such , though it doesn't stop me from travelling, it certainly inhibits my choices of destinations and adds to my angst when planning a trip . However after 1 hypnotherapy session with Helen I have experienced a calm and , dare I say it, enjoyable 12 hour flight !
I must admit I was a tad sceptical before Helen performed ' her magic ' ! However Helen was reassuring and professional throughout talking me through the process. It was a very relaxing experience and quite how it all works is still a bit of a mystery but Helen kept me informed and I didn't feel silly or uncomfortable at any point .
Whilst I wasn't exactly asleep, as Helen spoke to me in a soothing manner, I felt disconnected but extremely calm .
Helen assured me that I would be able to use my experience of the consultation to overcome any fears or anxieties relating to flying when the time came. I felt very tranquil after the session and I used Helens's advice and coping techniques over the next 24 hours leading up to the flight .
I would thoroughly recommend using hypnotherapy as a means to overcome any fears or anxieties and particularly Helen as a therapist!
My next session , with Helen, will hopefully address my disturbed sleeping habit - I'm confident that Helen will , again, prove herself to be a very competent hypnotherapist!

I am so grateful I had the opportunity to meet Helen and the courage to pick up the phone to her and to be honest I wasn’t sure if hypnotherapy would work. I had a situation at work which was lying so heavy on my chest, it was almost suffocating me. The strange thing is, it wasn’t until after the session and the pain was taken away I realised how debilitating it had been. The whole process was very calming and Helens voice was reassuring and easy to listen to. I never felt silly or uncomfortable, it was more of a lightness, something I hadn’t felt for a long time. The one thing I have taken away is a feeling of liberation and never again will I let something get such a hold on me. The fact I can do something about it - is so wonderful. I would use Helen again and have no hesitation in recommending her to my family and friends. Thank you again for freeing me . More...

Q&As

The most rewarding thing about my job is helping people move forward with their lives, whether that's releasing fears and phobias, old emotional pain, stopping smoking, losing weight to name but a few. Seeing people come into my therapy room weighed down with problems and leave so much lighter and with hope, is the most exciting thing to witness. With my help, my clients are able to make changes and live a more fulfilled, happier and rewarding life and I am so pleased to be a part of that.

I have previously worked in business as a trainer and in education as a teacher and mentor. I have always been drawn to people and helping them reach their potential. I was sent on courses to gain skills to help the staff I worked with and the children I taught. I then took this further and trained as a hypnotherapist. I love making a difference and this inspired me to start my own business in order to help others.

Why choose me? There are many hypnotherapists out there in the world but what makes me unique and special? The reason people choose me for hypnotherapy is because they like the way I work. The relationship you have with your hypnotherapist needs to be based upon trust and respect in order to achieve the best results. Evidence across all therapies shows that establishing a good working relationship with your therapist advances the effectiveness of the treatment. I listen to you and design a bespoke treatment plan especially for you and your challenges.

Maybe you are one of the many people that are looking to make changes in your life, such as stopping smoking, or achieving your ideal size, shape and weight? Maybe you are looking to make behavioural or emotional changes, such as overcoming depression, letting go of phobias, and dispelling stress? Regardless of the change you are looking for, everyone I have worked with has been amazed at how much more they can be when they learn how.
