Client testimonials about Stress

I was over-worked, stressed and it was making me very ill.  I was tired all the time, permanently feeling depressed and life was a chore.  It was affecting my marriage and my relationship with my young son.  Sarah has helped me understand why I was allowing stress to dominate my life.  She has given me the tools I need to control my stress levels and protect myself in stressful situations.  I felt immediate benefit and gradually I am learning how to control stress so it doesn't control my life.  I am now able to switch off from work at the weekends and at last I am able to enjoy my life at home without constantly thinking about work. (Mr Hall)

Sarah has helped to uncover the reasons behind my previous level of stress and inability to cope. She has given me support to clarify my ideas and priorities.  An added bonus has been my change of attitude to food and the resulting fact that I am now the correct weight for my age and height and am able to maintain this without any problem.  (Mrs Potts) 

I had always been quite a highly stressed individual – particularly affected by significant illness and repeated redundancies. The birth of my first child seemed to focus and magnify my lack of confidence in my ability to function successfully and publicly. After the first treatment from Sarah, I felt the oppressive fear and pessimism start to lift and continued until the most overwhelming situations have become insignificant. It has been like waking up from a bad dream: I can laugh again! (Ms Jacobs)

Before I met Sarah I had been ill with heart problems for 4 years. Surgery had resolved the main problems but whenever I faced stress and anxiety I would get chest pains and angina-like symptoms. Sarah showed me how to control stress and reduce the physical symptoms. I know feel more relaxed and I can remain calm when life throws up its challenges. (Mr Simmons)

My initial session with Sarah reduced the long-term tension I was holding in my body significantly, and improved my breathing. Since then, my stress levels and blood pressure have continued to reduce, and I feel far more relaxed despite having a fairly stressful job. (Ms Iveson)

Sarah helped me to unravel certain psychological hang-ups which manifested themselves into uncontrollable excessive perspiration.

The self-hypnosis therapy enables me to control my sub-conscious with the result that I can eradicate at will the negative effects of these hang ups. I now find that the hitherto high stress levels I experienced are now under control and I am a much calmer person. (Mr Edwards)

When I first had treatment, there were a lot of stressful events in my life: house move, the death of my father, the continued illness of my partner, the illness of my mother and continued work related stress! Sarah helped me to relax and take a fresh look at my life and lifestyle. I would thoroughly recommend this kind of therapy to anybody who is in need of help for physical, emotional or mental reasons. (Mr Whitehall)

I had been the victim of a road rage attack and was suffering from post-traumatic stress. I met Sarah whilst waiting for Osteopathy treatment. I was the biggest sceptic under the sun and have always thought of hypnotherapy as quackery. Fearing the antics you see with stage hypnotism, I was worried about what would happen. Believe me, this was poles apart from the actual experience!

Sarah works with you. Together we explored the emotional issues raised by the attack on me. Once we had brought these into the open, she helped me to deal with them rather than burying them where they would continue to cause damage. She helped rebuild my confidence, and helped me deal with stressful situations.

With her help, I have rebuilt my life. I’ve moved house, changed my job from one that was making me ill to one that I enjoy, and have met and fallen in love with a wonderful person. We are getting married this year.

Life still has stress, but now I know how to deal with it. Sarah has helped me to unlock the person who I wanted to be, not the person that I felt I was expected to be. This is a wonderful gift. The time we were working together was a voyage of discovery, and I feel that I have finally found a happiness that I have been searching for in my life. (Mr Blackwell)

Sarah helped me to recover and move on from a time when I had been off work suffering from stress. Although it had been some time since my time off it was holding me back as I had lost confidence in my ability to copy. Learning self-hypnosis and relaxation techniques have been really useful. However I think it is a real benefit to talk to someone like Sarah who is understanding and really able to help you help yourself. (Mrs Gale)
