What is hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy is a safe but wonderfully powerful technique which can be used to break the negative cycle of depression and anxiety or to just enhance enjoyment of everyday life. It can help with all the various symptoms shown below and many more.

Hypnotherapy uses the application of hypnotic trance, this enables us to have access to the subconcious mind where positive suggestions made are much more powerful in helping you make significant changes in your life.

It is a very pleasant and relaxing experience.

Testimonials
“I first met Helen at the University Hospital of Wales , Haematology day unit in Nov 20. 17.  Helen would walk in our room with her beautiful smile and the room would light up. Helen was working with a patient , he told me she had helped him a lot. I asked what she does and she said hypnotherapy but she just listens to you. Helen would use most of her time just going round the room talking to us. At that time I was going through a very emotional time. I personally think that without Helen just being there and listening I would not have got through it.  Helen his very professional and caring person in all she does.  Helen makes you see things from a different angle to make you understand things. Thank you Helen for all the support you have giving me.
I wish you all the best in all you do.”

“ I am writing to thank you for the successful course of hypnosis therapy. When I decided to try your treatment for my difficulties with sleeping I was unsure what to expect. Throughout my experience, everything that you explained was so kind and full of insight, with a lovely sense of humour that always allayed any anxieties I might have been having.  The tape recording that you supplied on my first visit was extremely helpful and then, as the treatment progressed, it became second nature to apply the individual, practical; relaxation exercises that you taught me to enable me to get to sleep.

Please feel free to use any part of my letter on your website. I recommend your relaxation hypnotherapy without hesitation and will not hesitate to contact you should I feel it necessary to use your safe and stress-free hypnotherapy treatment in the future.”

“I cannot recommend Hypnotherapy highly enough. Prior to meeting Helen I felt my everyday life was overshadowed by stress and anxiety, including feelings of low self esteem and constant worry. Through her sessions, Helen has given me the skills I need to think posivetely and logically in every situation, reducing stress and anxiety.

Each session was constructive yet informal and gave me an opportunity to reflect upon my everyday thought processes. Helen was so friendly, allowing me to open up to her about how I was feeling and also allowing myself to relax in her company, which is essential. Her support and encouragement alongside hypnotherapy has enabled me to regain my confidence and be the person I want to be.”

“Thank you, thank you Helen for making such a difference to me. From the very first session we did I was aware of even the slightest change in my perspective. My hypnotherapy sessions with you and using your CD have helped me more and more each time to gain confidence and feel better able to cope with anything. It takes some discipline to keep things in check, but the result has changed my outlook forever.”
You’re the best, Jamie

“I contacted Helen at a point when my lifelong spider phobia was severely impacting my life. I was constantly on edge in the fear I would have to face a spider and was suffering with night terrors almost every night.

I have never done hypnotherapy before and didn’t know what to expect but was willing to try anything in the hope that it would help even the smallest bit. As soon as I met Helen, I instantly knew I wanted to go ahead with trying the hypnotherapy with her, she was so warm and encouraging and instantly calmed my anxiety.

After two sessions, Helen had really impacted my life for the better. I had started with a crippling phobia affecting every minute of my life, to feeling in control of my own emotions and ready to face whatever spider came my way! Helen’s hypnotherapy truly exceeded my expectations in every way and has had such a positive impact on me and my own self-confidence.

Helen explains everything in a calm and understanding manner and really helped me to see things from a different perspective, keeping my rational self firmly in the driving seat and stopping my phobia from having control over me.
I now go days without even thinking about spiders and am cool as a cucumber if I do come across one (even sending photos of spiders I’ve had in my house to my family group chat!!). I would recommend Helen in a heartbeat and still tell everyone I can about the wonders of her treatment.”

“Helen has been a transformative presence in my life. At a time when I was paralysed by fear, her unwavering support enabled me to move forward and achieve what I have accomplished in recent months. She is an exceptional professional whose guidance has made a profound difference.”

“I was recommended Helen by a friend of mine. At the time I was suffering with severe anxiety, depression and also the grief of losing my mum 10 years previous and not being able to come to terms with it.

I had a number of session with Helen to look to over come all of this. Through the sessions I started to progress and finally learn to come to terms with things and also not let the little things in life bother me.

Helen taught me coping mechanisms, whilst helping and guiding me along the way. Helen was friendly, approachable and always able to accommodate me if I needed urgent sessions if I felt things were spiralling.

Thanks to Helen I no longer suffer from anxiety or depression and I have finally been able to grieve the loss of my mum and start to live in the present moment.

I also had a separate session with Helen to overcome my fear of flying and it’s worked! I never thought I’d see the day that I love getting on a plane!

I remember my first session I said I just wanted to be my old self, I now no longer want to be the person I used to be, because the new version is so much better.

Thank you so much Helen, will always recommend you to anyone feeling the same as I did!”

“I first met Helen after suffering with anxiety and panic attacks for a long time and trying numerous remedies, I had reached a complete standstill. I felt desperate for a change in my frame of mind . I had no real idea what hypnotherapy involved or whether it would even help, but I decided to reach out.

From the very first session, Helen was incredibly informative, kind, and understanding. She listens so deeply, and the techniques she has taught me have been second to none. Now, in January 2026, I can honestly say I am a completely different woman to the one Helen met. Hypnotherapy helped me to relax, reset my mindset, and gave me a safe, open space to talk without any judgement. I always felt that Helen genuinely cared and truly understood me.

In early 2024, I found out I was pregnant, and Helen told me she also offers hypnobirthing classes. Because of how much hypnotherapy had already helped me, my husband and I didn’t hesitate to sign up. With my history of anxiety and panic attacks, the thought of birth and the unknowns terrified me. The classes completely changed that. We both thoroughly enjoyed learning about the elements of labour, the physical and mental challenges, and the techniques to manage them. The relaxation recordings were also wonderful.

I gave birth to my daughter and by using the hypnobirthing cd and hypnotherapy techniques Helen taught me, I had the most incredible birth experience — unmedicated, calm, relaxed, and completely in control.

I honestly cannot thank Helen enough for the help, support, and guidance she has given me. Helen is truly a wonderful person, and I feel so lucky to have met her.”
