Weight Management
My therapist’s approach and disposition was fantastic! Anonymous, 7th April 2013

Self-confidence and embarrassment
“It’s hard to put into words how hypnotherapy has helped me because it sounds so corny when I say it has changed my life, but it has. I took a career break after having my second child and without knowing had slowly lost my confidence and this came to a head when she started nursery. It got so bad that I started to panic about going up to school to pick my eldest child and meet up with friends for coffee without getting panicky and embarrassed. When I met Ruth I was at my lowest and needed someone to see how I was struggling and help me understand why I felt like I did. We talked about all aspects of my life and with the help of hypnosis and confidence building, made sense of the feelings I carried around in my head. The time I spent with Ruth not only changed my life but my family’s life for the better. While working with Ruth I applied for a job (which I would never have done before) and got the job. Through hypnosis, Ruth has given me the coping mechanisms which I still use today and I will always be grateful for her help and support during a difficult time in my life. The first time I spoke to Ruth, she put me at ease. She has a calming nature which relaxes you and you know you can open up without judgement. I always felt comfortable and safe during my sessions of hypnosis” Melanie, 28th February 2013

Toilet Phobia
“Hypnotherapy has helped me: learn about normal levels of anxiety suffered by everyone, relaxation techniques and thought stopping. The constant worry of what “could happen has been replaced with more rational ways of thinking” Amanda, 8th February 2013

Phobia of Numbers
“Hypnotherapy reduced initial anxiety and altered my negative thought processes in relation to the issue. I continue to utilise relaxation CD’s for relaxation. I wished I had accessed hypnotherapy years ago! It maintains my stress levels and enables me to juggle many competing demands competently and calmly” *From a very satisfied client, 13th January 2013*

Acceptance of disability and overcoming traumatic events
“Having suffered several traumas during the past 5 years, I was unable to see any positive future, but now know that I can and will have more happy years in the future, in spite of disabilities. Thank you Ruth” *VR, 28th October 2012*

Grief, Relationship issues and confidence Weight Management
“I was unable to continue treatment at the given time because of additional family problems. Since ceasing therapy I have continued to use strategies and “understanding” learned from my sessions and I feel calmer and happier. I like the flexibility within the treatment sessions, you don’t impose a planned hypnotherapy sessions if the counselling within the session is in full flow” *Megan, 10th August 2012*

February – September 2012: Long term sick leave

Weight Management
"Hypnotherapy has helped me become more relaxed about everything - I don’t think about food as much" Julie Coddington *17th February 2012*

Weight Management
"I’m no longer grazing continually throughout he day, therefore am in a better frame of mind and better prepared to start losing weight (which I am incidentally). I started hypnotherapy with Ruth in desperation, and with some scepticism, but I’m now a complete convert and recommend it to anyone" Rachel *9th February 2012*

Weight Management
"When I get weighed, if the result isn't what I was expecting, it no longer impacts on my behaviour with food. I am also more active without it feeling like a chore. I have more control over the choices I make about food and snack less. Ruth is very easy to talk to about weight issues which are very sensitive. Its not just one approach for everyone, I felt she cared about me as an individual and tailored the therapy to my specific needs. The changes in my behaviour have been surprisingly easy and long term, so I know I will achieve the weight loss I desire" S Moyle *25th January 2012*

Anxiety
"Lot more positive, a lot more calmer and a lot less anxiety. Ruth has helped me to overcome my anxiety and make me more positive. She’s very easy to talk to and really listens and is thorough in helping" Andy *11th January 2012*

Vomiting Phobia
“Because of my fear I was afraid of flying and being in a confined space where people were likely to be sick and I could not get away from them. After my time with Ruth I flew to New York and Miami with no problems at all.
I was afraid of using toilets in pubs and restaurants, again in case there was anybody in there being ill but this also made me anxious and made me need the toilet more, now I do not give it a second thought. Thanks to Ruth I am now living a far more normal life and able to go away and days out”. Helen Baxter *7th November 2011*

Weight Management
"After years of dieting I now feel in control. I am eating healthy and am motivated to do exercise which is resulting in weight loss without the "diet" word.
A massive thank you for your help in changing my life and helping me get to where I always wanted to be in terms of health and fitness". Maxine Dickinson *27th August 2011*

Stress Management and the Management of Migraines
"Techniques learned have helped me manage my stress at work so that I do not respond in a negative way to certain situations. I have seen a reduction in the intensity of my headaches. I have been given the tools to reduce stress as it is happening or before it has negative effects, especially with diaphragmatic breathing.
Hypnotherapy is very relaxing and is a good way of taking some time for yourself in the busy world when no one else can get at you. It is not something to be scared of as you are fully aware of what is happening to you at all times". Helen *16th August 2011*


"Gave me the mental “tools” to deal with my problems effectively" Steve C of Aston 7th June 2011

Anxiety
"I was suffering from anxiety about flying on a plane & also suffered from Hyperhidrosis (excess sweating). After hypnotherapy I flew on my own to Canada with no problems. The sweating is now under control.
I had hypnotherapy before but didn’t really get on with the therapist. I found Ruth easy to listen to & especially liked the way she used music in the background". Sue B *4th June 2011*

Fear of Flying
"Before hypnotherapy I wouldn’t have even contemplated getting on a plane but now I can say that I’ve not only taken a long haul flight but enjoyed it too. I had no idea what to expect from hypnotherapy but I’ve been so impressed by its effectiveness and I would recommend it to other people. It’s really enjoyable and very relaxing. I would urge anyone thinking about hypnotherapy to give it a go – it’s certainly not like anything you might have seen on TV!". Mrs M Healy *29th May 2011*


"Hypnotherapy helped me to face up to my problems and deal with them. It taught me to relax and stay positive and to look forward to the future. I can’t thank Ruth enough for all the help she gave me in getting my life back together". P Steel *18th May 2011*

Stress and Anxiety
"Due to stress at work, I became depressed and had panic attacks. This not only impacted on my work life but also greatly affected my home/social life. Hypnotherapy helped me in several ways. Being able to speak to someone who is independent and unbiased was a great help. The hypnotherapy helped me to cope with the increased stress levels and gave me the tools to cope with anxiety before it became a panic attack. I am now at a point where I feel that I am in control of my life, not the panic attacks. I am now in a new job, I am much happier, motivated and more settled. I actually feel like my old self again". Lisa Snowden *2nd April 2011*


"I have found closure to a number of significant life events. I am positive, have emotional stability and looking forward to letting “me” live a positive life interacting with other people and developing closer relationships. I think I have over achieved my goal, I found the whole experience rewarding. Thank you". Megan *1st April 2011*


"Hypnotherapy has changed my life. I used to worry about everything but now I am able to live life to the full. Embracing new experiences and fulfilling my dreams. Thank you Ruth". Jennie *22nd February 2011*
