I contacted Bernadette with some issues I had been having since childhood regarding a fear caused by being away from home for prolonged periods. On arrival we had a lengthy discussion about what it was I was hoping to achieve and the small and safe steps we would take to get there. The process of hypnotherapy was explained clearly and treatment was in a warm homely comfortable environment. I felt very safe and trusted the expertise and experience of Bernadette. I had previously been slightly sceptical about hypnotherapy but after the first session I felt as though I had slept for a week - such was the weight lifted by the process, I felt energised and relaxed. As the weeks went by, the therapy became more and more beneficial. Bernadette tailored the process to my responses and needs and I genuinely feel as though the phobia which had been holding me back for many years has been challenged and the ingrained habits have been lifted and I am now able to do things I couldn’t do before. It’s given me a new lease of life and gradually I am exploring lots of new experiences. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Bernadette to anyone wishing to challenge ingrained phobias, eradicate anxiety or ease fears within safe parameters at your own pace and tailored to your own individual needs.
