confidence & performance and test anxiety
Driving test nerves/confidence:
"I passed my driving test after attending just 2 sessions of your Hypnotherapy Course and I have been driving since then. After I had passed my driving test, I found it quite daunting to get into the car and drive off all by myself. So in the first week, I would practice one of the many techniques you taught me to calm my nerves before getting into the car. That really helped. I am getting more and more confident everyday. I have no problem driving on a dual carriageway or on a motorway ... Thank you so much for your help and for equipping me with the necessary skills to overcome my driving nerves!" (Client CG)
Sexual and Performance Anxiety:
"Working with Maria over the past months on some of my accumulated issues has been a pleasure. I have found her work to be well judged, cleverly constructed and expertly executed and perhaps, most important, the results are starting to come through for me. I find myself better able to think clearly about things, more self assured and more confident in dealing with the issues that have come my way. Highly recommended" (K):
Presentations:
"I underwent a course of hypnotherapy with Maria to overcome the anxiety I had in doing business presentations, and I must say I'm very impressed with the results. After only 3 sessions I noticed a significant reduction in my anxiety levels and now take on presentations with much more confidence. I would not hesitate to recommend Maria's hypnotherapy treatments - well worth the money". (Client JoD)

fears and phobias:
wasp phobia:
I had been terrified of wasps for years but always just put up with it even if that meant not sitting in my own garden if wasps were about. When I had my daughter last year I didn't want to pass my fear onto her and the final straw came when I nearly ran in front of a car to escape a wasp. I had not tried hypnotherapy before and to be honest was a little sceptical. I'm delighted I did though, as it has worked brilliantly and I am no longer terrified. It means I can sit in my garden without being chased out and I no longer scream involuntarily whenever I see or hear one (which was very annoying for everyone around me!). I also felt really happy and relaxed the next day and as if a weight had been lifted. I was free again. Amazing and fast results. Thank you Maria for reducing my fear and giving me confidence again! (Ref SM - SW)
driving fear:
"I have had an increasing fear of driving over the last couple of years, particularly on the motorway, to the extent that I have become very nervous and shaky whilst driving and have had to stop a couple of times to compose myself or ask someone else to drive. The fear has also spread to being afraid when someone else drives too, so its quite debilitating.
I had one hypnotherapy session with maria a couple of months ago, and really enjoyed the relaxing experience. I found Maria to be very warm, caring and professional, and felt extremely calm when I left her. I had no pre-conceived ideas of whether it would work or not, but have been really pleased with the outcome. Over the last 2 months I have done a lot of driving including motorways, I have felt much more relaxed and calm, and no longer fear setting out on my journey. The feeling of being out of control has left me, and I must say I am very impressed at such a huge change after just one session. I would have no hesitation in recommending Maria and Hypnotherapy to others with this type or other fears/ phobias. Thanks Maria!" (Client EM).
flying phobia:
“Excellent, treated me for my flying phobia. Had a much more comfortable flying experience afterwards. Highly recommended.” (ref: Google sites)

sleep problems:
"Having had an intractable insomnia problem, I went to see Maria for hypnotherapy. It has worked wonders" (Client: D)
"thank you so much Maria. I'm sleeping so much better now after my session with you. hypnotherapy was obviously the answer to my problems. Maria really put my mind at rest and made me feel very relaxed about the whole thing. I have been sleeping really well now, which has made such a difference to my life. I can't tell you how thankful I am to get my life back!" (client MW)

stop smoking:
"Well, it's a month ago today, and not only have I not smoked in that time, I haven't had the slightest desire to do so.
Many, many thanks indeed. This is the longest I've ever gone without a cigarette and unlike previous attempts, giving up has been completely stress-free. I'm amazed at how effective the hypnotherapy has been and eternally grateful to you for helping me change my life for the better."
"Having been a smoker for 20 years and tried various techniques (patches, gum, etc.) I thought I would give Hypnotherapy a go. I must admit I was a bit of cynic before my meeting with Maria. In a very relaxed environment Maria talked me through the pros (not many) and cons (many) of smoking. Ten months later I am still not smoking thanks Maria. To anyone thinking of using this method to give up smoking good luck ……. Maria will give you that edge you need. If you're afraid she will get you crowing like a chicken – don’t worry that only happens on TV." (Client SD)
"Wow, I still find it a little surreal that I don't smoke. Rarely does the thought pop into my head, in fact days can pass without it occurring to me. ...It was all very odd, I knew why it was happening, but my brain wasn't saying you can fix this by lighting up. It was however screaming at me, "I'm missing something and I need it now." I saw you on the Tuesday and by the weekend that had all passed.... The last thing to say, a very big THANK YOU." (Client IS)
"I thought id drop you a quick email to say that its been 1 month and 1 day till I saw you for stopping smoking and so far I have succeeded. You have provided me with 80% help and I have only had to use 20% will power. I found it difficult a few days ago but managed to get through it. So thank you very much and I hope this continues because I am finally beginning to feel free!!" (Client LP)
"Three weeks of not smoking and u feel fantastic, I can't believe the differences that you notice so quickly and I have found it surprisingly easy, I just don't smoke! Thank you" (client LG)

mindfulness meditation course:
"The course has been very beneficial to me.It has given me a better understanding of how my mind works, to be more mindful and how to deal with difficult situations. It was also good to talk within a group to share experiences. I would also highly recommend the course to others".
"I very much enjoyed the course. Maria has a very easy style and the group was very relaxed. Unfortunately I didn't get as much as I could have from the course as other commitments meant I couldn't do the exercises regularly at home. However I have the handouts and will definitely work through the exercises at a less busy time".
"The course was amazingly informative and made me feel like I could easily start the meditations at home, which I have found difficult with other meditations. Very informative in a good gentle way rather than overloaded. "
"The hardest thing is carrying on after the classes but I certainly intend to try. We all need a pocket-sized Maria to carry with us, giving advice! :) "
"very happy with the course and think it is very good value for money."
"Maria was an excellent mindfulness trainer, and I would highly recommend her to others,"
