Testimonials
Read what my clients have to say about their experience of hypnotherapy. Each testimonial tells a different story of transformation that person has been through as a result of having hypnotherapy sessions, but all share a common theme: hypnotherapy has helped them to change their lives for the better.
Anxiety
"My daughter suggested I tried hypnotherapy for my severe anxiety. I found Alison and was pleased to be able to do the sessions via Zoom as I did not feel well enough to leave the house. The experience was very interesting and informative with the second half of the session very relaxing and calming. I have incorporated the practices she recommended into my daily routine and gradually everything came together and I was able to enjoy life again.
​
She explained how the brain deals with our thoughts and how to tackle living day to day and how you can actually influence your brain by your positive thoughts. It has definitely helped my self belief and put me back on track. I would highly recommend giving the hypnotherapy with Ali a go. I had 5 sessions."
- Alison C
Anxiety
"I was in a severe state of anxiety when I contacted Alison. She was very understanding and assured me that she could help. Alison was incredibly instinctive in supporting me when I was many times a tearful wreck during the session. The combination of understanding my brain's behaviour, focusing on positive strategies and the relaxing hypnotherapy that never failed to soothe, my mind healed. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Alison to you if you are struggling with anxiety. She can help you get to a better place with kindness, compassion and expertise."

Anxiety
“My experience of working with you was that you were very friendly and gave clear explanations that were easy to understand. Your hypnosis audio recordings were very helpful in improving my sleep patterns. I now feel more confident and certainly more relaxed, and I PASSED MY YOGA TEACHER TRAINING EXAM!”

Anxiety & Back Pain
"The difference I have seen in myself since starting hypnotherapy sessions with Ali has been quite remarkable. I am much better able to cope with my back pain and my anxiety is under control for the first time in years."
- Julia S
Anxiety & Weight Loss
"I started with Alison for anxiety and could not believe the difference her skill-set made to me. I would recommend anyone struggling with anxiety to book this course, she explains everything and has such a lovely manner.
​
Due to the benefit of the anxiety sessions, I have since returned for a programme for weight management and in the first 3 sessions I lost 6lbs. I will continue to use Alison for all forms of hypnotherapy and highly recommend anyone to use her."
- Hannah S
Work-related Stress
"Alison has been really helpful in reframing my thinking. She is very informative and extremely professional. Our sessions have been very enjoyable and calming."
- Elizabeth B
Depression & Work-related Challenges
"Originally I came to Alison to help with my lifelong depression and how to reframe my thoughts when I have down days. Thankfully my sessions were already established when I was suddenly falsely accused of gross misconduct at work which triggered the worst mental health crisis for me.
Seeing Alison weekly and having the recordings at night helped me to cope during the four months it took to clear my name. As my needs had changed, so did Alison’s strategy for me and we flipped from tracking a scale of happiness to one of acceptance. She always adapted the sessions according to my needs on the day so I felt she was really committed to me as an individual and not just one of her clients. I would highly recommend Alison and I’m grateful that she was able to help me during this time."
- Kirsty L
Depression & Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)
"From the start Alison was warm, welcoming, friendly but also professional. She was able to explain to me about how the brain works and that resonated with me and got me to look at it in a more scientific way. When I got upset, she listened to me but didn't let me dwell on the negatives. She did it in a way that made me not want to give energy to negativity but join her on a positivity crusade."
- Sarah P
Depression, Social Anxiety & Grief
"If I hadn’t discovered hypnotherapy, I think I would have been hospitalised by now. Thank you for helping me get out of the rut I was in and develop the confidence to be able to go out in public again and actually enjoy the experience."
- Tom P
Depression (teenager)
"Alison helped us through a very difficult and challenging time with our daughter, we saw a huge change in her mental health during and after her sessions with Alison. We would recommend her services to anyone."
- Vicky D
Public Speaking Phobia
"I have started my new job which is in a leadership role and I’m presenting to the entire staff team in 30 minutes! I’m feeling good about it, small bit of butterflies but nothing like before. Thank you for a great session."
- Husne B
Dog Phobia
"I have suffered from a fear of dogs for as long as I can remember, but since our hypnotherapy sessions I have really started to feel more relaxed around dogs.
I’ve even stroked two strangers dogs!"
- Jessica B
Menopause Symptoms (anxiety, sleep disruptions, hot flushes, negativity, low self-esteem & confidence)
"Following the therapy sessions I feel a lot calmer and at peace with my thought patterns. I also sleep better now. I was surviving on 3 to 4 hours of sleep before.
I now really don't care about things that used to bother me and feel liberated when I just let them "go". I am also so much more proactive and procrastination appears to be something I've forgotten."
- Jodie S
Alcohol Addiction
"This was an amazing experience having been in active addiction for 25 years. My anxiety and depression were at an all time high and the therapy sessions with Alison helped me massively in my recovery. I am now 17 days away from being 12 months clean and sober, and my anxiety and depression is almost non-existent."
- William S
Alcohol Addiction
"this week I'll hit 100 days alcohol free and haven't looked back since. I have found it so much easier than I would have ever anticipated and do not miss out on social situations as I just substitute with alcohol free beer. Previous addictions have been difficult to overcome because a sense of impending doom and not being able to see my life without the thing I'm addicted to. Your sessions have tapped into my subconscious giving me a positive outlook on moving away from a dependency."
