Smokers who stopped with Hypnotherapy

• Thank you for the friendly, honest and professional treatment….I was sceptical but came with an open mind and the determination to quit smoking. It has now been approximately 6 weeks since I last had a cigarette, thank you once again

  Ray Everett, 49, Driving Instructor from Middlesex (20-30/day)

• I was fairly sceptical when I went in but it has worked. I have not had a cigarette and I’m OK. The amazing thing is I see someone smoking a cigarette and it reminds me that I don’t want one! I’ve done so well

  Sandra from Wokingham (15/day for 25 years)

• I had a habit of 20-30 a day and had tried everything to stop but nothing seemed to work. I decided to give Melanie a ring and make the appointment to have hypnotherapy. This was the best thing I have done! I haven’t smoked since and this has given me a new lease of energy – fantastic! Money well spent

  Paul Lewington, (20-30 /day for 25 years)

• Absolutely amazing! Melanie spent a lot of time talking me through how the mind works which made things very clear & made a lot of sense. The hypnotherapy itself was very relaxing & at times euphoric! I couldn’t believe I had been under for 50 minutes!

  Holly, mother of 2, London (20/day for 20 years)

• I have to be honest and view myself as a balanced cynic of new techniques, I have smoked most of my life and after one hypnotherapy session I have stopped smoking, fantastic! What was particularly good, I just did not want to smoke, this is especially significant as my partner still smokes (not been to Melanie yet!)

  Colin Cox (ex- 20-30 /day smoker)

• I have had hypnotherapy before to stop smoking .but it didn’t work .this was completely different, much more positive and I really felt good after wards .I just knew I would never smoke again

  (35 /day for 25 years ex-smoker)

• The idea of such a quick and easy cure seemed to be good to be true – cheating almost.Melanie is lovely, and I haven’t even been tempted since, I am a non-smoker

  (10/day ex-smoker)

• I’ve smoked for many years and I thoroughly enjoyed most of them!! At 42, I half wanted and half needed to give up. I called on Melanie. I was a little apprehensive but she put my mind at rest and explained everything. After one hour I left and strolled down the road. A certain sense of freedom. My day to day life is still the same. I just don’t want a cigarette any more. Thank you so much

  Alison Moore from Frimley (20 /day for 20 years)

• I tried to stop before….it was amazing I just haven’t wanted a cigarette since

  Alison Milton (10 – 15 a day on and off for 20 years)

Weight Loss Clients

• I was very sceptical beforehand but had got to the point of having nothing to lose and nowhere / nothing else to try. I’ve been very impressed with the care for the “whole person” and helped in so many ways. I know it works and is not a quick fix that stops working later. I’ve gained so much (except weight!)

  This lady is aged 34, she has already lost a stone on the programme.
  

• It certainly worked for me, my attitude to food has changed quite radically resulting in my losing substantial weight easily and quickly, I now enjoy food more than I ever did before

  Len Tyler, local music school teacher, has lost over 4 stone.

• since having hypnotherapy for weight loss I have been amazed at how easily and naturally I have found it to avoid fattening and unhealthy foods. The change in my eating habits is incredible and something I have tried to achieve for years and always failed with other methods. I am now steadily losing weight and I am 100% positive that this time I will succeed

  Jane, 41

• I have been on many diets in the past and failed. I decided to try hypnotherapy and with Melanie’s help have managed to change my attitude to food. I no longer view myself as on a diet, I just eat when I am hungry and stop when I am full. I have lost 24lbs so far and am over the moon. I am sure with Melanie’s continued help I will soon be down to my ideal weight

  Yvonne, aged 32

• I have now lost over 7 lbs without having to exercise any willpower, with which I am very pleased. I now only eat when I am hungry; I can reject extra portions and have no problem with that. Being able to considerably slow down the rate I consume food allows me to enjoy it all the more. I have been down to the gym about four times a week and feel a big improvement in my aerobic capacity

  Mr. P

• It was helpful and made me understand lots in my life. I feel it has been money well spent, even after xmas I have still lost a lot of weight and am looking forward to losing more

  Anita, 44 Farnborough

• It has really changed my life…as for the nutritional information and advice – I was just eating all the stuff that disagreed with me –now I probably eat the same amount as I did before – but it is all healthy and nutritious and I certainly don’t feel deprived – I just don’t want to eat all those crisps and snacks any more”

  Ms. Davidson, mum, 39

• I have lost 3 stones and my body composition has changed – I am leaner and the fat is reducing – I was sceptical at first but it really does work

  Ms.P

Other Clients

• six whole weeks of being free! I have found a new inner strength and confidence, and am able to say “no!” to people without feeling guilty. I am no longer in a rut or being controlled, and for that I am eternally grateful to you

  Ms.P

Sleep

• I haven’t slept so well for 20 years….you have taught me to be calm

  Mr. F

Fear of Heights

• I can’t believe it! – I have had a fear of heights for 30 years and even felt uncomfortable going up a ladder, or looking down from a height…after the session with Melanie, she took me straight out of her office and up the fire escape – 2 storeys… I looked over the edge and just could not get that feeling back at all! It was really strange! Now I feel so liberated, I am off to New York next to go up the Empire State building and Niagara falls and the CN tower this summer for my holiday…I would never have been able to do that before! Thank you so much!

  Mr. I. Goddard

Fear of Flying

• I am so much more relaxed now and I don’t panic at the thought of flying on business – I don’t have to make those excuses any more - at one point I thought I would have to change my job - I am surprised how quickly and easily that life long problem was cleared – I still cant really believe it - thank you!

  Jim from Haslemere, Surrey (Sales Director)

• I have enjoyed my first holiday in Portugal - I never thought I would feel OK about flying - but I was fine and I actually quite enjoyed it! Thank you so much for helping me overcome this problem - I wish I had come to see you years ago

  Fiona, 40 from Crowthorne

Fear of Water

• I have now learnt to swim! I never thought I would ever feel comfortable in the water

  Mrs. S

Panic Attacks

• I have been able to go out again without experiencing those awful panic attacks, this has given me my freedom back

  Ms. W

• I was quite calm and dealt with it very well…..and I do feel I have benefited from my sessions with you, I am beginning to increase my confidence again, I am back at work and have been out …I am just taking things slowly” (extract from e-mail)

  Ms.F

Stress

• I had a de-stress session…I felt so calm and relaxed afterwards and it lasted for over a week

  Mr.G.Ashton

Depression

• I am so pleased – I can smile now and have been able to eventually come off the tablets

• I can see things so much more clearly – life seems so much better and I can appreciate things again

Emotional / Relationship Issues

• Thank you so much I have really felt so many positive changes!!

  Ms. W (emotional issues and stopped smoking)

• I just wanted to thank you for the work you did with me….I have been to various therapists over the years and none have listened to me in quite the way you did. It made such a difference. You just seemed to flow with me and your intuition and we got there so quickly and easily. Things are so much better for me now. I am not nearly so worried about what the future holds.

  Christine Green, Hypnotherapist

Needle Phobia and Pain Free Childbirth

• I signed up for a course to cure my needle phobia. I noticed (Melanie) had a qualification for painfree childbirth. The hypnotherapy for my needle phobia worked really well, so I thought I had nothing to lose in trying out the hypnosis for childbirth methods. I could spend ages describing all the techniques she taught me, but I could not do them justice. Suffice to say, with lots of practise and support from my husband (yes, he had to come to a session too!), I learnt some great techniques that got me to 6cm dilated in the bath with no painkillers!) I would highly recommend the hypnotherapy – as well as helping with the birth itself, I believe the very positive recordings and reinforcement messages kept me in a relaxed state weeks beforehand…..having such a good birth experience made it easier to cope with the following days, and months, of hard work that is involved in looking after a new baby.

  exert of an article a client who had a four hour labour with only a little gas and air towards the end wrote for National Childbirth Trust Newsletter.

Childbirth

• I wanted to thank you for the excellent work…..I believe that the (relaxation) music along with the positive suggestions are what helped me stay relaxed and able to give birth with minimal drugs and no intervention. I will definitely recommend it and use it again for the next child …thanks again

  Nicola M, had first baby weighing over 8 lbs in appx 10 hrs labour and a little gas and air towards the end.

Alchohol

• Just a short note to update you on my progress, which very simply is a total success so far.I have not touched one drop of alcohol since the last session at your office. I am truly amazed with the results of my state of mind in dealing with this problem. Quite literally I just do not need beer – I keep comparing myself now to how I was prior to the treatment and for me it is an incredible transformation. I would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone interested in hypnotherapy treatment. Many thanks

  alcohol problem – after 3 sessions

• I just don’t want it anymore – I have proven to myself I am a better person without it – and it feels good – thank you

  alcohol problem 4 sessions

IBS

• I had heard about hypnotherapy for IBS and found Melanie through the IBS register – I was so desperate I was at the stage where I would’ve tried anything – and – I know I shouldn’t sound so surprised…..but it really worked! Thank you so much

  Miss. P. Leith, IBS for 7 years (after 5 sessions)

Nail Biting

• I love having manicures now! I am so pleased I no longer bite my nails!

  Miss J Sutherland, Camberley (bitten nails since a child- stopped last year with hypnosis)

Fear of Meetings / Confidence

• It is my pleasure to report that my meeting went well last week …my voice was strong, I sat at the head of the table, I had the presence of mind to slow down when I began to talk too fast, I remained positive all day and am looking forward to the next one! ..thank you very much for all your help

  client was very uncomfortable in meetings and had 4 sessions of hypnotherapy

• I feel more comfortable in social situations and I just feel more relaxed

Hair Pulling (Trichotilla)

• Thanks for changing my life (hope that doesn’t sound too cheesy!) Since seeing you in October I haven’t looked back – its almost like a chapter in my life has been closed off and I have moved on – truly amazing. So thanks again for making it all happen.

Gambling

• I was addicted – fruit machines, casinos, horse racing, I just couldn’t stop..I wasted so much money…I was becoming depressed…..I feel like I have a second chance of life now – and never again will I gamble, there is no turning back and I know that now, I don’t even miss it”

  Mr. A from Aldershot after 5 sessions of hypnotherapy

Anger Management

• I cant believe the things I used to do – and the things I used to say….I have always regretted them afterwards of course, but then it was too late. Thanks for your help – things are much improved, in more ways than one!

  Mr. K from Yateley after 5 sessions anger and stress management with hypnotherapy and Cognitive Behaviour therapy
