"Hi Anne,

My daughter continues to improve and feels lots better, I think its true to say that at the moment it is just not an issue for her so I can't thank you enough.

She has done a little testimonial in her own words which she is happy for you to put on your website.

"I went to see Anne because I was worried about being sick, and other people being sick. It was starting to affect me at school and it was getting worse. I had two sessions with Anne who used the Blowaway technique. I did not know what to expect but after the first session I felt a bit better. I continued to improve over the next 3 weeks, and i was much more relaxed. I went to see Anne again for a second session. I now feels loads better and am really looking forward to my new school. Thank you Anne"

Lisa - Anxiety & Stomach Aches

"I am 13 and have had tummy aches for over 4 years. I have been to plenty of doctors to try and find the reasons why I get them and I have undergone many unpleasant tests in hospital. However, after every test and every check up the doctors told me that there is nothing wrong with me and therefore I do not get tummy aches when I know that I do.

I got a recommendation to start hypnotherapy and found Anne on the internet. Before I came to Anne I was not sure that hypnotherapy would be for me, but I was prepared to try anything to help my tummy. After my first session of hypnotherapy I felt a bit better. In the next session Anne and I did something called the Dream technique. Since then I have not had a tummy ache and I have not taken off a day of school.

Anne has really helped me think positively to overcome my pain and I am very grateful to her."

"Thank you Anne for your help with my fear of flying. I used the techniques you taught me to reduce my anxiety and to also think in a different way about the flight. For the 1st time I was calm before and during the flight and had no anxieties at all."

"Hello Anne, I wish to thank you for the proven results your sessions gave me for my anxiety attacks. My wife and I were regular tourists travelling to such places as Florida, Europe and South Africa.. However over the last four years I started to get panic attacks once the aeroplane had landed and passengers stood in the aisle. I was also getting claustrophobic on the underground trains and in lifts. Our holidays abroad stopped because I was frightened of loosing it! My understanding wife suggested I sought advice as she desperately wanted to fly to surprise a member of her family with me. I took courage and found your advertisement on the Web. Not once did you make light of my very real problem. You gave reassurance, advice, information and guidance.

It worked. I FLEW. Not only that but on the way home by Tube the doors on the train were a long time opening, so long in fact that previously I would have been very agitated and starting to panic. NO PROBLEM. Only yesterday at the local hospital the small lift I was in, its door were also very slow to open. Again NO PROBLEM. Thank you."

"Sorry I haven't let you know sooner, I only got home on Tuesday due to the volcano. Any how, just wanted to thank you for your help. The flight went good, I could say I even enjoyed it...I did it and I am very proud. Thank you very much for your help".

"I came to see Anne because I had problems with confidence and negative thinking and thinking too much about the past. I can honestly say that after the sessions I feel much better about myself now. I feel more confident, positive and enjoy doing things I wouldn't normally do.

I would definitely recommend Anne, I clicked straight away with her. She is very kind, caring and extremely friendly and non judgmental.

Thank you Anne for all the time and effort you put in to me."

LC - Middlesex - Anxiety & Low Self Esteem

"Just dropping you a quick message to say thanks for all your help. I was always feeling a sense of anxiety and a lack of confidence during certain situations I encountered in my life including when I had to cold call for new clients in my business.

Through your hypnoanalysis sessions, I've discovered what the underlying cause of the problem was, so now I feel like a weight has been lifted of my shoulders. I've also noticed significant improvements in some of my close relationships.

I'm looking forward to a better future for me and my business. Thanks again Anne."

Anti, Middlesex - Social Anxiety

"Dear Anne

Thank you so much for everything you've done for me. You are a wise "healer"...thank you for helping me get through what I have to get through. I'm happy with what I've achieved with your help and I'll do my best to make it last.

Thank you again Anne, and all the best wishes for years to come."

JT, London - Help with a Stressful Job

"Thanks Anne, the relaxation sessions have really helped me to cope with my pressures at work due to the very high stress levels of my job. I have found that I am sleeping much better too. I use the CLB "dream" technique you taught me if I feel myself getting stressed and I am managing not get overwhelmed like I used to. Colleagues have commented on how calm I am and I will be recommending you to them. In fact, should I need another relaxation session in the future, I will give you a call."

Miss MF, High Wycombe - Emetophobia (fear of being sick)

"I have been doing really well. I am sleeping a lot better. I still get a bit nervous...but nothing like the state I use to get in so hopefully with a bit more time that will be gone completely! My uni work is going really well now and I really feel like I have turned over a new leaf!"

Thanks again for all you did. You really put in a lot of extra time and effort, and I cannot thank you enough for that. Kindest regards, Michelle."

MP, Buckinghamshire - Emetophobia (fear of being sick)

"I must admit to feeling slightly dubious that anyone could help me overcome my fear of sickness and other people vomiting. I read about Pure Hypnoanalysis on your website and decided to take the plunge and book an initial appointment with you. After meeting you and hearing more about Pure Hypnoanalysis I knew that I had nothing to lose and possibly lots to gain. After the first session I just knew that you were going to be able to help me. You told me that you would look after me and you certainly did, you made me feel safe, protected and cared for and I never felt judged throughout the treatment. I loved being hypnotised and the feeling of total relaxation. It was an amazing experience and...feel that I can put everything behind me and get on with the rest of my life. You told me that lots of things would change and yes I am happy to say things are slowly changing. I have no hesitation in recommending Anne to anyone who is considering taking a course of Pure Hypnoanalysis."

Miss LC, Eastcote - Depression

"I have been suffering from and receiving treatment for Depression and anxiety for three years since the birth of my daughter, along with yearly bouts in previous years, been through various Psychotherapy sessions resulting in feeling hopeless with ever depleting confidence. I was feeling fearful, unmotivated and trapped. Enough was enough and coming across Anne's leaflet and having never tried before, I just had to give Hypnosis a go. I was immediately given hope by Anne and knew that she was going to help me. I had 8 sessions, some more difficult than others but all equally necessary in arriving at the point where I felt a release of the burden and 'baggage' that I'd been carrying for nearly 30 years.

It really is quite an amazing experience with such a simple theory behind it. It was a huge bonus to be able to experience deep relaxation on a weekly basis and I always felt safe and unjudged. I truly believe that everyone carries some issues that affect their lives, some more obvious than others but that everyone would benefit from Hypnosis. It has been my saviour, I finally feel that life is worth living and just the day to day things that I was struggling with are becoming easier. I have stopped my nightly drinking habit, walk more rather than drive, eat less, stopped biting my nails and have lost 3lbs. in weight.

As I said at the start, things can only improve at this rate as my interest and care of myself develops. I'm actually quite excited about my future...I just wrote this from the heart Anne and I hope that someone in my previous condition will read it and feel inspired to come to see you!"

Mo, South Ruislip - Hypnoband

"Hi Anne,

I just wanted to let you know how glad I am to have found you after having had a constant battle with my weight throughout my life. I finally feel as if I am making progress with my Hypnoband which you have seen me through over 8 weeks. Who needs surgery when you can have someone like you to take me on this adventure to a new slimmer me.

To help along the way I am logging my journey in a wonderful little book which I found that says on the front "I'm going to be gorgeous and this is my plan…" and on the back cover it says"Don't you just love it when a plan comes together". You gave me pink golf ball to remind me of the size of my stomach and I have that in my handbag at all times. I am in my 10th week now and I have lost 19 pounds and dropped a dress size already so I couldn't be happier. It will be a big day when I can say I am 12 stone and so many pounds and I haven't said that for 33 years. Bring it on I say.

Thank you so much Anne I am so very grateful for your kind and gentle manner and you will be forever be that special lady who helped me get my life back and not to be that large women ever again."

Charmain, Northwood- Hypnoband "It's a Miracle!"

"Hi Anne,

Just wanted to thank you! Its been roughly 7months since my Hypnoband.

I had the shock of my life only a couple of days ago... I saw some old photos which a friend had put on Facebook in 2009... all I can say is OMG!!!! Back then, not once did I ever think I was that big! I was clearly fooling myself, at 5'2" & size 16/18, I was 'Clinically Obese' ... which I never saw, due to years of being content in my long term relationship and over eating for the sake of it, no matter how much was on my plate, I would clear the lot!! Every year I would start a WeightWatchers mission, and every year it would last a maximum of 4weeks, then slowly, I would creep back to the downward spiral of gorging, each time putting the weight back on plus a couple of pounds for good measure.... at my heaviest i was nearly 12 STONE!!!!!

But thank god I came across you!!! 7 months post HypnoBand and I have lost and kept off 17lbs!!! I am very happy with myself and even though I have a few wobbly parts, they are fine and part of me ... it is a miracle!! I am eternally thankful and am telling everyone about you.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!

Lots of love, C"

Julie, Hampshire - Claustrophobia & Fear of Travelling on Trains

"Hi Anne

I am delighted to give you a testimonial for my therapy:

Today, I find myself standing on the busy Bakerloo line back-to-back with the other commuters, deep in the tunnels of London wondering "what was all the fuss about!".

Six months ago, even reading this statement would have sent a shiver off fear through my body. I was unable to travel on the underground, refused to get in a lift or lock a toilet door. Even to the point where I was starting to stress about going in a cinema, or on a fun fair ride. Anything that I was unable to "get out off/out of" would cause me anxiety.

When my children started to take the stairs instead of the lift, I decided enough was enough and I searched the web for help and found Anne. My first consultation was encouraging with Anne saying she could help me. These words where like a breath of fresh air!!!

I was sceptical about hypnotherapy as my knowledge was little, but Anne directed me through my 11 sessions. I felt confident and safe with Anne at all times and really believed in her!

My controlling fear is now released and I find myself doing things I thought were impossible for me. Thanks Anne, I could'nt have done this without you.

Lots of love, Julie"
