"For years I had been plagued by shame and self-loathing because of excessive drinking.
Annette was completely non-judgemental and treated me as a whole human being rather than a 'problem drinker''
She allowed me to dictate the pace of therapy and I gradually reduced the amount I was drinking.
I am absolutely delighted with the outcome. I am in control, and as a result, I am happier, healthier and wealthier!
I am also more confident because I am not constantly trying to hide my drinking.
I can thoroughly recommend Annette. She made what I feared would be either impossible or a long and difficult process, very easy and actually quite relaxing.
There is nothing to fear in therapy when it is carried out by someone as professional as Annette."

"Annette really helped me work through my issues of anxiety and anger.
She taught me how to control my anger and think in a more positive and stress free way.
I had a few issues to resolve and with Annette’s help I could do that, she makes you feel very calm and comfortable and does not rush you through things."

"I am grateful for your most professional advice and support during the pat four months or so.

The therapy has been very successful because I now have a better understanding of the cause

of [my symptoms and issues] and what to do to alleviate them.

The key to this success is that you were able to establish (very early on) a safe, supportive,

non-threatening environment within which we were able to explore (in much detail) my life and

the many influences on it."

“I am so glad I took this journey and more importantly stuck with it!

I was 100% certain the time was right to tackle issues from my childhood/past
which were holding me back and not allowing me to move forwards with my life and be the person I wanted to be.

I have definitely lost the emotional weight I had carried so long and people comment how much lighter I appear to be.

I could not have done this alone and I can’t thank Annette enough.

She has a wonderful approach and always seems to come up with the right answers and visualisations.

To anyone considering therapy I can thoroughly recommend Annette.

She is extremely professional and always makes you feel at ease.”

''Meeting Annette has changed so many things for the better in my life.
Annette made me feel so comfortable from the first time we met, she
was so understanding and so easy to talk to. I have learnt so much from
my sessions, through counselling I learnt just how much more was behind
my feelings without even knowing it was there. The hypnotherapy was
wonderful and really relaxed me. I would recommend Annette to anybody
who was looking for help and would not hesitate to go back if I needed to''

"The sessions were professionally conducted and very thought provoking.

I've still not had a cigarette and now find I don't even think about it. 
I do see myself as a non smoker.  Many thanks for all your help. 
I would have no hesitation in using hypnotherapy in the future."

"Thank you Annette for your kindness and professionalism when I needed it most. 

Over a period of 5 months you have enabled me to move forward and take control of my life again.

Whilst I initially came for hypnotherapy to change my emotional eating habits and to lose weight,
your counselling has allowed me to deal with deeper emotions such as grief, anger and low self worth.

I feel positive again and I am making time for myself as well as shedding weight.

You are a truly warm, professional and caring person who I have been privileged to to meet."

"

Throughout my life I have suffered from depression and at times severe panic attacks,
anxiety and worry, etc. I felt so much at ease at my initial meeting, the session was fantastic.
I felt great when I came out, really positive and Annette gave me quite a few exercises which really helped.

I am doing really well but I always know that if I ever feel bad again there is someone there.
I would recommend Annette to anyone, in fact I already have to another friend!"

"The first comment I must say is, you made me feel relaxed talking to you
about my problems. When I came away after having the hypnotherapy I felt

so relaxed and calm. I felt I wanted to try some of the things I had a problem

with. I found to my surprise some of the things easier to approach and I was

more confident in doing them.  I feel I am beginning to win the battle. 

I would not hesitate to see you again with any issues."

“I have lost 4 pounds [in 2 weeks] which I am very pleased with. 

I find that I am easily making sensible choices in what I eat. 

I still have the occasional higher calorie food item however it is now an
informed choice. Although I still like these things I no longer have the
compulsion that I need to eat them. Thank you very much for your help,
I have never been this focused with my weight loss before and I am
surprised at how easily I am making better choices in what I eat.”

 "I definitely had a bird phobia that I thought I would have to live with forever. 

With Annette's help I feel so much calmer, relaxed

and happier that I am no longer looking for them (birds) and can get on with whatever I want to do.  

I don't think that I will ever 'like' birds, but at least now I can deal with them being around.

Many thanks Annette - keep up the good work!""

"Finding 'Better-Yourself' has been a truly enlightening experience for me. 
Annette is an excellent counsellor and communicator and really tunes into
what you need out of the sessions. She has helped me to put my life into
perspective after a very difficult period for me. With new goals and a
firmer footing in life established, we then tackled smoking too!! 
I’m confident that we have tackled that for good – no patches,
one session, I wish I’d done it years ago. I have every reason
to believe that if you want to be helped by Psychotherapy
and Hypnotherapy then Annette is the perfect practitioner to visit."
