Testimonials – Hypnosis for chronic pain and other symptoms

I contacted Helen when I was struggling to cope with both physical and mental health issues [and] navigating multiple related challenges.

Helen crafted a personalized recording which enabled me to cope with an upcoming recurring medical procedure, the first [experience] of which had been very painful. I listened each night to the recording, which fundamentally reshaped my mindset to shift my association [of the procedure, to] healing [rather than] pain. On the day of the next procedure I felt much calmer and the pain level was substantially more manageable, enabling me to feel fully equipped to complete the series.

I have benefited tremendously from my sessions with Helen and cannot recommend her highly enough.

Hypnotherapy with Helen has been a complete game changer for me. Months of painkillers, medication and doctors treatment hadn’t helped my condition. Experiencing long term chronic pain made me realise there could be an emotional issue behind it. The work I did with Helen brought me enormous relief, both emotionally and physically. Learning how to bring my body into a state of relaxation eased the pain massively from the start. More than that, at my next medical check up, my doctor was happy to report that my healing had been fast tracked. I am so impressed by how powerful it has been and very grateful my pain has disappeared!

The sudden occurrence of a physical impairment shocked me into realising that, even though I had been working on my emotional and psychological growth for a long time (including weekly counselling for the past year), it felt like there was still a lot that I couldn’t see and/or acknowledge.

I realised that I needed to find something to help me to crack open the issues that were hampering my progress. I had been wondering about hypnotherapy. Struggling with chronic anxiety for a long time I often had the feeling that there was a deep seated issue at the root of my problems that I consciously did not want to access, perhaps because I was afraid of discovering something terrible about myself.

I feel in very safe hands during a session. Helen is both very focused and very intuitive at the same time. I feel listened to and able to open up and say anything that I want to. It never fails to surprise me where we go and what comes up!

Afterwards I usually feel much happier, more positive and lighter. I can see how negative messages about myself have weighed me down and coloured my thoughts, feelings and perspectives. Listening to the recordings Helen has made for me after the session I am sometimes aware for a day or two that my perceptions are being reset. I then become aware of how they are reminding me, and my subconscious, to stay in a more positive
place (a bit like wearing braces for your teeth!).

I am very grateful for the deep underlying changes that have come about since I started working with Helen. I am coming to appreciate, love and value myself. Let go of fears and guilts that hold me back and now feel much more supported by life. It’s very liberating and exciting as well as being a great relief!

I was very lucky to meet Helen about a year after I had become unwell with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). At the time I didn’t know what was wrong with me other than it had come on out of the blue and was trying to take my life away from me! In addition to the hypnotherapy, it was so inspirational to talk to Helen who herself had been so ill and to see how well she has recovered. She has learned so much through her own journey back to health. Her combination of wisdom, expertise and compassion set me on the right path to recovery myself.
