For Hypnotherapy

What my clients say about my hypnotherapy services

Here is some of the feedback I’ve received from clients who have had hypnotherapy sessions with me:

I went to see Cat because I was transitioning out of a difficult professional period and I feeling less than my best. I had lost confidence, energy and didn’t feel like myself. Cat’s a great coach and the conversations we had, which helped me understand my goals, were a significant part of the process. After even a single session, I started to feel the benefits. I regained my optimism and energy, became more forward looking, and found my va va voom again! I started to prioritise self care and have lost 21lbs! I had never tried hypnotherapy before but I would highly recommend it. And Cat is wonderful. I plan to return.

Anna, Portishead

Very useful sessions, breaking down the issues in simple terms to understand the causes and potential triggers, then recognising them and effectively managing them by keeping them under control. I will have no hesitation in contacting Cat again and highly recommend her services.

Tim

I saw Cat at a very anxious time but her friendly and understanding way taught me how to manage the anxiety through hypnotherapy and relaxation Listening to the CD was very helpful and using the techniques she taught me are very beneficial I would certainly recommend her to anyone needing help.

Madeline

I knew nothing about hypnotherapy before working with Cat but it was a therapy recommended to me by a good friend so I decided to try it. I had got to a very low point in my working life having moved into a new role in the NHS just a few months before Covid struck. Trying to adjust and cope had left me emotionally and physically exhausted. I had quite literally ground to a halt... Cat put me at ease from our first conversation. The subsequent sessions helped me learn to relax and gave me the tools I needed to cope. Cat listened to my worries without judgment and offered supportive ideas for me to take forward. Cat's therapy taught me it was OK to feel like I did but more importantly, Cat gave me the ability to break free of those negative emotions. Thank you Cat x

Working on the frontline for the NHS during COVID, I struggled physically, mentally and emotionally. I was very anxious about falling sick and maybe dying leaving my young children behind. I felt stressed all the time at work, very tearful with a negative mind frame. I sought help which was something I thought I would never need. Initially I was pretty cynical but after a few sessions with Cat, I was introduced to the concept of relaxation and making time for me. I felt at ease sharing my feelings and thoughts with her and not being judged. I am more calm and positive about the future and can now control and manage my anxieties if faced with a similar situation again. Thank you Cat. I will always be grateful to you for helping me through a very difficult time in my life. Mary, Essex

Mary

Our 16 y/o found the 3rd lockdown rather hard, developing very low moods, leading to depression and anxiety, and difficulties to sleep. He has found Cat easy to talk to, without any judgement or prejudice. After 6 sessions he feels much better, more less back to his old self. So thank you Cat. Xx

Jana

I contacted Cat during lockdown for my 11 year old son who was experiencing trauma after 2 significant losses in his life. His night terrors were horrendous and doctors couldn't do anything to help even though he was begging for help and hitting himself. I was at a total loss until I contacted Cat. After 6 zoom sessions, my child still has the occasional night terror but they are no where near as frequent or severe. He manages to calm himself and get back to sleep which means that I don't have to sleep with him for weeks on end. She's also helped me to get a better night sleep as I listen to the relaxation mp3 session nearly every night. Would highly recommended and will definately be back should the need arise.

Sarah, Portishead

I saw Cat as I was having trouble sleeping. She provided a relaxation track to use at home which I found extremely helpful. The sessions were so beneficial, and I always felt at ease and relaxed there. Cat is very professional and passionate about her work. Highly recommended, thank you Cat!

Jess

Having struggled with sleep problems for some time a friend recommended Cat to me. I have to say I was a little sceptical at first but so glad I went ahead. Cat is easy to talk to and helped me understand how my sleep pattern was affecting my daily life. The hypnotherapy combined with her CD has helped me incredibly. Thank you Cat. Will be seeing you again soon.

Jan

I was very sceptical at the beginning about hypnotherapy and wary of its value. I didn't believe it would work for me, but to my surprise it worked wonders! working with Car and using hypnotherapy my anxiety and stress levels have lowered. I am forever thankful to Cat for her hard work and perseverance with me. Through this transformation I now have many helpful ways to process my anxiety and stress. Thank you Cat!

Connor, Nailsea

Cat is very friendly and great at making you feel at ease, so the sessions were not at all stressful. The whole experience was very positive. I was given a relaxation cd to listen to at home and I can honestly say I haven't slept so well in years!

Jane, Clevedon

I visited Cat for some relaxation earlier in the year and really found it helpful, she was full of extremely useful ideas. She explained about the brain and how we can sometimes worry too much, she explained clearly how relaxation/hypnosis could help me. I found it easy to talk to her and found she was approachable right from the beginning, she helped me build my confidence back up in no time. Her approach was lovely and her manner put me at ease. I would definitely recommend her to others.

Beth, Portishead

I really enjoyed how Cat explained the workings of the brain to me - she helped me understand just how I can influence my own thinking.

Jane - North Somerset

Cat began our sessions with a review of the previous week’s goals/objectives and coached/coaxed me to evaluate my progress. I found this part of our sessions extremely valuable since I was reviewing my performance against goals I had set myself. Cat really pulled out the positives so that I could build on these. At a particularly difficult time in my life following major surgery it was often difficult to find something positive on my own and yet Cat helped me to do this. Following the coaching part of our session we moved onto what I would call the hypnotherapy part which lit a lot of light bulbs for me as I recognised, through Cat’s guidance, how I created stress for myself in the way I reacted to certain situations. I emerged from our sessions having a greater understanding of me, how I react to things (both positively and negatively) and also how to reduce stress in my life. This was all done in a very comforting, safe and nurturing environment.

Sarah - North Somerset

Professional Service. Very informative which leaves you with a much better understanding of how the mind works. Both myself and my 12 year old felt very comfortable and at ease with Cat’s friendly approach. It was very clear that Cat not only has a great understanding but a real passion for her work.

Dawn - North Somerset

Having suffered with chronic pain for nearly 20 years, with various different medications having little or no impact, Cat helped me to understand and manage my pain. Her sessions were calming and friendly however she remained professional throughout. I am now in a position to help myself and, along with her continued support, I feel happier, calmer and more in control of the pain and associated anxiety. I would definitely recommend Cat’s services!
