Anxiety & Panic Attacks
“I had been having problems with anxiety for some time and it was affecting my work as well as going out with friends and family. After a few therapy sessions with Vicki, I feel a lot better and can now start looking forward to things again.”

Anxiety & Low Self Esteem
“Vicki helped me to recover from a very difficult time in my life – I didn’t think I would ever feel OK again, but during the course of my sessions she helped me to feel better about myself and to understand that I do have a choice. I couldn’t imagine what the future might hold for me or what it might be like, but now I can and it looks a lot brighter now. Thank you so much.”

“I feel as though things are taking a positive turn and I’m feeling much better within myself. I think I’ve explored a lot of patterns and thoughts with you which has really helped. So, basically a big thank you for working so hard to help me through the tricky patch. Both the hypnotherapy and talking sessions combined have been a massive support to me. Thank you!”

Insomnia & Sleep Issues
“I was a bit skeptical about hypnotherapy partly because of the stuff you see on TV, but also because I didn’t really understand much about it. But after several months of sleepless nights and things gradually getting worse, I decided to give it a go.
The sessions were both relaxing and hugely beneficial; my sleep patterns have returned to normal again and for the first time in months, I can sleep all through the night. I feel a lot better for being able to sleep properly and now I also have some tools and techniques to help myself if I have any further sleep problems in the future. Vicki also gave me a hypnosis MP3 to listen to, which I found incredibly relaxing and which I still listen to now whenever things start to feel stressful.”

Public Speaking
“I contacted Vicki for help with confidence and anxiety as I had been invited to speak at a conference and I was worried that my nerves would get the better of me. I have never been very confident during speeches or presentations and so a friend suggested that I tried hypnotherapy.
I can’t thank Vicki enough for her help in preparing me for the presentation; everything went really well on the day and I loved every minute. Never thought I would ever say that!! I felt a bit nervous to begin with just before it was my turn, but once I got onto the stage, the nerves just disappeared and I delivered my presentation as if I’d done it a thousand times.
Hypnotherapy has been a fantastic experience for me and I would highly recommend it. I had 3 sessions with Vicki and it has made such a big difference to me – I’m not afraid of public speaking or doing presentations any more and I’m actually excited to try out my new confidence skills again as soon as I can!”

“I would highly recommend Vicki and Hypnotherapy is definitely worth a go if you are having things that you struggle with. Vicki helped me to address my fear of public speaking, the sessions were relaxing and informative. When it came to it I was much more comfortable in delivering a composed and confident speech. Thank you, Vicki.”

Fear of Dogs
“I have spent approximately 36 of my 38 years with a great fear of dogs.
This has been incredibly restrictive for me, I relied on my husband heavily to help me in situations where dogs have been in the vicinity and, more recently, now I have a young son, this has prevented me from taking him to simple places, such as the local park, on my own for fear of seeing a dog. Earlier this year, I decided that I didn’t want the fear to rule my life anymore. I read an article about hypnotherapy being used to help overcome fears and I found Vicki’s website.
I had five sessions with Vicki, attending on a Saturday which was ideal for me as a full time worker. The Tower Clinic is a welcoming location. I had no idea what to expect from the sessions but Vicki is friendly and very professional. She explained everything fully, took things at a pace which I was entirely comfortable with and I felt at all times that the sessions were very personal.
I am overwhelmed (as is my husband!) with how Vicki has helped me understand my fear and learn how to overcome what I felt was the impossible. I still have a way to go but after only two sessions, I spent a long weekend at a family member’s who own a Labradoodle……. I stroked it and even allowed it near enough to drool on me! I felt no fear or anxiousness……. believe me, that would never have happened three months ago. I would have been in tears before we even got to their house. This experience has been brilliant for me, it has literally changed my life and I have nothing but thanks and praise for Vicki for getting me to this stage.”

Email update received from client following Google review:
“Hi Vicki
I came to see you for some hypnotherapy sessions about 6 years ago to help me with my debilitating fear of dogs. You actually have my client story on your webpage for fear of dogs.
I just wanted to drop you a message. I remember when we had sessions and you asked me to scale from 0 – 100% how I felt about dogs and I estimated at the start that I was at 0% and when we finished sessions, you got me to about 60% which was a fantastic achievement.
Well I really am a true success story for you and in October we got a puppy!! This was never the intention when I came to see you originally!
I just wanted to say thank you again 6 years on. It is no exaggeration to say you changed my and my family’s lives in a wonderful way.”

Fear of Flying
“I used to be terrified of flying and couldn’t stand the thought of getting on a plane. But after booking a holiday, I knew I had to somehow get over it. I had 5 sessions with Vicki and the week after my last session, I went on holiday. Both flights there and back went really well with no stress at all. I thought I might be anxious getting on the plane, but it didn’t happen! I also listened to the hypnosis recording I was given during my sessions and that helped me to relax during the flights as well. Hypnotherapy is the best thing I’ve done in ages and I can’t recommend it enough – thanks Vicki!”

“Dear Vicki,
My flights to Barbados were fine, a little turbulence but I kept telling myself I needed turbulence to overcome my fear.
I need to get back into the air again soon !
Thanks for my sessions . I think the things you spoke to me went in deeper as I relaxed and I must say you have a very soothing and calming voice.
Very much worth the effort.
Many thanks”

“Vicki is amazing! I had a fear of flying that linked into my first experience of it, which I knew and understood. I’d done some rudimentary research into why it was still so scary for me, but Vicki helped me to understand how, no matter how much I understood it, I couldn’t do it on my own as it was all tied into that first experience. Seven sessions later and I was on my first flight. We even hit a bit of turbulence, but I was fine!! I’m actually so good with flying now that my hubby doesn’t know how to handle me!!! (And he’s not a nervous flyer at all – he loves it!!). Been away twice this year, within four months of each other, and the second time we landed back in the UK it was in a storm (so I knew it was going to be bumpy), but I was fine. I can’t recommend her enough!!!”

Fear of Needles & Injections
“Thank you so much for your help. I never really thought I would feel this confident around needles and if I were to be told I needed an injection now I don’t even think I’d be bothered!”

Stop Smoking
“I smoked 20 a day (maybe more…!) since I was in my teens and always found some excuse to justify why I carried on smoking when all the people I know had stopped years ago.
In the end, I decided to try hypnotherapy to help me give up smoking for good and I’m so glad that I did. It’s been about 8 weeks since my session now and I haven’t thought about cigarettes since. I can’t stand the smell of other people smoking and shudder to think that I used to smell like that too (urgh!). All I know now is that I’m so glad I made the decision to book the stop smoking session – I haven’t looked back since!”

“I saw Vicki just over a month ago to help me stop smoking. After years of smoking and finding excuses to justify the habit, I finally decided to bite the bullet! The session itself was pretty straight forward and I was also given an MP3 to listen to after my session, which I listened to most days for a couple of weeks. I threw my last packet of cigs in the bin during my session and haven’t even thought about it since. Best thing I’ve done in a long time.”

“It almost seemed too easy to become a non smoker after over 30 years of smoking every day, but I’ve done it – no more cigarettes!
The hypnosis session was relaxing and also life changing for me. No more worrying about my health and no more spending a fortune on cigarettes that I don’t need anymore. Since I stopped smoking, I’ve already saved more than the session cost in just under a couple of weeks, so it’s a win-win situation!”
