Heather has pretty much turned my life around! She has given me the coping mechanisms I need on how to see life differently and move forward with a positive attitude. On first meeting Heather, my anxiety levels were through the roof and after 6 sessions I managed, with her help, to get my anxiety under control. I still use the strategies now, if I start feeling anxious (which is very rare). She has given me lifelong tools that I will always use and implement throughout my life when I’m faced with any difficulties. I highly recommend Heather. More...

Heather was amazing from the get go and really understood my reasons for reaching out to her. She helped me through a period of 6 weeks in a really difficult situation in my life. The difference from my first week with her to my last was night and day. I can’t recommend Heather enough! More...

Heather has been amazing at helping to establish some coping strategies for managing stressful situations. She is friendly, welcoming and patient and works at your own pace. I never thought I would be able to relax but within minutes of starting our sessions I could feel the stress and tension drifting away. I truly felt like Heather was championing me the whole way through our sessions and it was such a comfort feeling like someone believed in me and wanted me to achieve. Thank you Heather x More...

I have been seeing Heather since the beginning of the year to get some direction in where I want my life to go and also to give me coping mechanisms on dealing with stressful situations. Heather has helped me reach my goals, discussing stages and next steps and with Heather by my side I have seen it through. Relaxation sessions are amazing. I didn't think I could be made to relax but after each session came away refreshed, mind clear and ready to take on the world. Thank you Heather.x More...

I had a block of sessions which were so needed and Heather was my life line, I was going through so much and without her I couldn’t even see things that were staring me in the face, she showed me through my own actions what things I did that were really positive which she highlighted. I was in a dark place and probably still there and I can see the light, I am now trying to make positive changes for myself as well as people around me, all thanks to Heather. I am now ready to spread my wings and fly threw that tunnel but will continue to stop and check in with her to keep me focussed. So thanks Heather xxx More...

Heather has helped me feel more confident in myself and manage my anxiety with techniques such as anchoring as well as organisation which is something I have struggled in. Having sessions has been really helpful in being more reassured in who I am and would recommend anyone who is struggling with similar issues or different ones to give life coaching a chance as I found it to be really helpful in developing good habits and improving my confidence.

I have worked with Heather for a couple of weeks now, so a few sessions in and I’m more than impressed with my progress so far, but also with how easy and natural it feels within our sessions. She makes me feel so comfortable, relatable, and all round at ease. Looking forward to the sessions and progress to come! More...

The deep relaxation exercise I did with Heather was wonderful. A little skeptical at first, I was amazed at how my anxiety and tension flowed away within such a short amount of time and can honestly say I felt 100% relaxed by the end of it. Heather is a warm, genuine and down to earth lady and wants the absolute best for her clients. Highly recommend! More...

Heather has been a great support for me whilst I have been trying to navigate through a tough time, dealing with a very close relationship of mine, she never told me what to do but definitely let me consider my options and always challenged me in a firm but fair manner. You never feel judged by Heather and she provides you with some tangible tools to help you along the way. She has a great sense of humour and really builds a great rapport with you so you feel comfortable to open up judgement free. I would definitely recommend Heather. More...

I started coaching with Heather several months ago and after completing the initial six week block decided to continue as our sessions have become invaluable for keeping me on schedule and helping me manage my time. I have a diagnosis of ADHD and really struggle with executive functioning, so having Heather to hand to help me realistically plan my work month to month, combined with regular check ins, really helps keep me on my path and I’ve seen significant progress towards my goals since starting the seasons. What I especially love about the sessions is not only having my own personal cheerleader but the fact that I don’t have to explain ADHD to Heather, ever (in fact she’s usually one step ahead of me). Having someone who just understands and can help plan strategies and coping mechanisms that do work with neurodiverse people is such a blessed relief. Totally recommend to anyone who struggles with overwhelm, organisation, general motivation but especially recommend for those struggling with ADHD. Also appreciate her focus is on the whole person, taking a more holistic approach to health, work, goal setting rather than the general corporate approach to coaching and motivation. More...

Heather's encouragement and guidance has had an enormous impact on my personal and work life. Heather offered support with self-reflection, perfectionist mentality and learning to give myself permission to take a break when needed. I’m very grateful to have met Heather, the confidence I have achieved through our work continues to be impactful on my life and choices I make. Thank you Heather! More...

I had the good fortune to be managed by Heather and received the benefit of her natural coaching abilities within that context. As a neurodivergent, trauma survivor there are additional layers of complexity for me within any new role. Having Heather to coach me through the process was pivotal in my being able to not only remain in post but also to recognise and utilise my own unique skills and strengths despite some very trying circumstances. Heather was remarkably astute in her capacity to hear my narrative and pull out key points for us to explore, develop and problem-solve. There was never a moment where I felt judged by Heather, despite being quite emotional at times and I think this open, honest rapport was foundational in how Heather was able to support me. She didn't tell me what to do so much as highlighting to me what the options could be and every suggestion she made was underpinned by her genuine desire to see me grow and flourish within her team. I would recommend working with Heather to anyone that finds themselves stuck in an internal dialogue that undermines their potential or facing situations that they feel ill-equipped to overcome - whether related to trauma, other negative life experiences or neurodiversity. Heather may not have a magic wand, but she has something better and that is the belief in the abilities of those around her, and the courage to think outside-the-box in service of doing her best to help others achieve their goals. Heather may not be my manager anymore but her support didn't end there. Her guidance and suggestions are powerful because I was able to take them with me and apply them more broadly within my life. The tools Heather gave me, I am still utilising as I continue on my own recovery journey and I can't thank her enough. **this review has been submitted using my son's facebook page as I do not subscribe to social media but so strongly believe in the value of what Heather is offering** More...

Tori Jones - Testimonial

Regardless of our backgrounds, our gifts & skills, life presents us with challenges as well as joyous opportunities. In those times when we need a sensitive, caring, but experienced & insightful advocate, Heather’s nurturing & empowering skills can help us to realise where we are & where we can be. Heather is incredibly astute & able to help the individual or family identify & address the goals for the best life to be lived, even when the situations may seem to overwhelm us. Having worked closely with Heather, I found her to be honest, able to spot a gift/ability that we ourselves may have overlooked or downplayed. She will help you realistically evaluate where you are at in life, the ways & wherefores, without judgment or blame apportioned. She can help you to visualise & realise, short, interim & long terms goals. Her wealth of experience & expertise means she is well placed to signpost you to additional skills, training, self-help or other appropriate advocacy/networks that bring empowerment, healing, closure or what best suits your circumstances. Everybody has worth, needs, gifts .. sometimes you need someone to step in & walk alongside you or just help steer you for a bit. Heather has those skills & talents & what it takes. She epitomises what empowerment means.

Cognitive & Behavioural Hypnotherapist & Coach
I provide my clients with the opportunity to "touch base" with me on a daily or weekly basis dependent on their individual therapy or coaching plan. This helps keep clients on track of their goals and reassures them I am on the journey with them and holding them to account.
All clients will receive suggested "homework" to help them develop better self awareness and to practice the tools explored during our sessions. Recordings of hypnosis, relaxation and meditation will be provided.
Using evidence-based techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy, hypnosis and mindfulness, Heather, will work with you to make it as easy as possible for you to achieve your goals. From your first appointment, you can improve your wellbeing and begin taking positive steps towards living the life you want. By your final appointment, you will have developed the ability to move through life confidently, knowing you can deal with anything that comes your way.
What can Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy help with?
Anxiety & Stress, Healthy Attitude to Weight Loss, Phobias, Habit Breaking, Moving on from negative relationships, Confidence.
How does Hypnotherapy work?
Hypnotherapy works by harnessing the power of your mind to change thoughts, unhelpful beliefs, and behaviour patterns.
Thoughts guide how you feel and act. Hypnotherapy works by helping you to change your thinking and actions, so what you do reflects yourself at its best. As you become happier with the way you think and act, you become more engaged in your life and feel happier and more confident about yourself too.
