Marjan Asadi (Google Review) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I was lost and overwhelmed after losing my father. Laura provided a safe and understanding space for me to process my grief. Their compassionate guidance and practical tools helped me navigate this challenging period. I'm incredibly grateful for their support and would highly recommend them to anyone seeking help during a difficult time. Thank you Laura!!!!!

Mark Buddy (Google Review) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had 7 sessions with Laura working on my anxiety which I have been struggling with for a few years. I'm so pleased with the improvement I've made and feeling more confident going forward. I definitely would recommend Laura and I will being using her again in the future if the need arises. Thank you Laura.

Holly Spencer (Google Review) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I went to see Laura because I was struggling with a mix of things including anxiety, confidence and imposter syndrome. I immediately felt at ease with Laura and quickly proceeded with the 6 week hypnotherapy course. After each session I always felt a sense of calm and relaxation which stayed with me for the entire day. I believe hypnotherapy is something that you have to actively work on everyday and definitely isn't an instant fix so the audio recordings which Laura sends through after each session are really useful as it means you can carry on your therapy after the initial 6 weeks are over in order to help keep stresses and anxieties at bay. I would definitely recommend Laura's hypnotherapy programme if you are feeling at all lost or anxious as its definitely helped me to find a sense of calm and control over the challenging aspects of my life.

Cherylle Sargent (Google Review) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I have suffered with sleep issues pretty much my entire life and the treatments I have had have only really been a bandaid as the issue would get better then come back with full force. When I found Laura I went in with an open mind and positive mindset and it was a complete game changer for me. What I liked the most was that Laura got to the route cause of my issues by doing lots of different exercises and giving me tools to use and try out . In six weeks this course has changed my life. I am sleeping better, feeling less anxious and most importantly not dreading going to bed knowing I could be awake for hours and sometimes days. Thank you Laura and looking forward to seeing you again soon. Best, Cherylle x

 
Adam Snook (Google Review) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I came to see Laura for Anxiety, Health Anxiety and Bruxism. From my first meeting I felt entirely comfortable and safe to talk about the issues I have been facing in my life. I found the hypnotherapy sessions enlightening, it wasn’t something I imagined would work for me, but after each session I came away with a sense of calm. I thoroughly enjoyed my conversations with Laura, she made me think about things in a different light and often unlocked memories I thought were long forgotten. If you’re looking to better your anxieties, ground them in fact not fiction and compartmentalise them into something understandable and workable then I would recommend contacting Laura for her Hypnotherapy and CBT services. Thank you Laura for all your help, hope to see you again!

Good experience, Laura helped me solve some personal problems.

Steve Bee (Google Review) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I have suffered anxiety, anger and low esteem for over 60 years and have tried various types of therapy over that time, to no avail. I discovered Laura and hypnotherapy and over the past several weeks she has helped me beyond my expectations. I feel so much better and more comfortable in my own skin. I would recommend Laura without hesitation, she is totally dedicated to her clients. 

Adam Mitchell (Google Review) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Laura is just amazing! I was having weight and confidence issues and needed help. I have studied counselling for years and nothing was working. I I found Laura and had 6 sessions, and the results were better than I could have imagined! I lost weight, sold my business and started dating again. I wish I could give more than 5 stars. I have recommended her to close personal friends and we are all delighted. I cannot recommend Laura highly enough. 10/10 and as a side note she is lovely too and really easy to talk to. Thank you Laura.

Anita Lee (Google Review) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

​Absolutely blown away, loved every second, Laura made me feel so relaxed, and the past life regression was amazing, will definitely be going back 😊😃

Vicki Cole (Google Review) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

​I liked working with Laura and I’m so pleased with the difference in my anxiety levels in such a short space of time. I would definitely recommend her.

ADAM PRESTON (Google Review) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

​Relaxing, informative, very friendly. Helped with anxiety and insomnia, and still going to sessions. Sceptical to start with but not anymore. Better than dedicated CBT I found, although it does cover this. 🙂

Kelly Beasley (Google Review) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

From the very start of my healing journey, Laura was incredibly professional, reassuring and soothing. We discussed at length what I need to heal from and to re set my mind into a more positive happier place to be. I found the technique used, to be soft but yet extremely powerful. The therapy I endured helped me recover from narcissistic abuse, suicidal thoughts, the loss of a dear relative and how to focus or esteem and confidence. I will always hold Laura in the highest of regards and will continue to see her for any future help necessary. There is nothing that Laura cannot help with. I wish her the most wonderful future 🙏

T Westy (Google Review) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Laura is just lovely! I have very much enjoyed my sessions with Laura. I can now go forward with the tools given, which I have found incredibly helpful. Thanks, Laura!

SJ Evans (Google Review) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I really enjoyed working with Laura over the 6 week course. It’s been hugely beneficial and I have a collection of tools to continue using. Highly recommended

Natalie Wetherell (Google Review) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Laura made me feel incredibly welcome and relaxed from my very first consultation. She's helped me enormously and I can't recommend her enough. I felt very much at ease and the issues I was initially embarrassed and worried to talk about / come to terms with, she made feel normal and manageable.
Thank you so much Laura.​

Giuseppe Tavella (Google Review) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I've had a past life regression session with Laura and i wanted to write a testimonial for her. After our session I feel a little more of everything: confidence, ease, lightness, strength, joy, decisiveness, love, compassion, understanding, calmness. In the session i've released old energies and emotions that i didn't need anymore. What i loved the most is that she gave me plenty of space and time to understand and feel those emotions precisely when i needed it - which now might sound a little abstract, but when you are in the moment it's very important so these energies can be fully 'processed' and worked through once and for all. She has been very kind and soft in her approach, and i definitely recommend her :)

Katerina Crouch (Google Review) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I first found Laura through recommendation, I have previously had therapy but was looking for a different approach and wanted help instantly. Laura was available from the word go which I found really important when your mentally struggling and I just needed help, she got in touch and I was able to start straight away. To this day I am still doing therapy with Laura to keep myself in check, I’ve been having treatment with Laura for possibly the last 3 months and it helps me so much. For anyone really needing help just do it as it saves yourself, you are so not alone and Laura is so calming. I always feel she really cares at every session. So just go for it.

Thank you Laura x

Wendy Bonham-Carter (Google Review) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I cannot recommend Laura highly enough. For years I had been entertaining a bad habit which I just couldn't seem to kick, Laura guided me into a new mindset and through her hypno-coaching I have now managed to completely eradicate that bad had habit and as a result I now feel more confident than ever. Thank you Laura!

Sarah Barrett (Google Review) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I consulted Laura because I was feeling unusually anxious. I knew the anxiety was pointless and tiring, but I couldn't find a way to reduce it. I liked Laura's web page, and hypnotherapy seemed worth a try.
Laura gave me a free half-hour to begin with, so that I could decide whether I wanted to invest in a six-session package. I did, and I found it really helpful. The first hour of each session was spent talking, trying to draw out what made me anxious, and how I behaved around anxiety. The final half-hour was a hypnotherapy session. It was quite like a guided meditation session. Laura was able to draw on what she knew of my anxiety patterns to devise a visualisation therapy. I found I was able to look at my feelings in a different, slightly objective way, and to access resources within myself that I hadn't really thought about before. After each session, Laura sent me a recording; she also offered several other useful and simple guides to reducing anxiety.
I feel noticeably calmer having completed the sessions with Laura, and I think I've learned some very useful techniques. Laura is a very calm and pleasant therapist to work with, and I'm very grateful to her. All in all, very much worth it.

Johanna Wareham (Google Review) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Before starting hypnotherapy, I was the typical sceptic, who didn’t think it would work. However, after losing my job, being unable to go anywhere in public, or meeting up with anyone including close friends and family. It was time for anxiety to stop controlling my life, my father suggested I tried it and I’m thankful he booked sessions with Laura for me.

I’m the typical textbook anxiety case. Panic attacks, nausea, numb and painful limbs, migraines, you name it I get it. Medication was only doing so much. Laura really has changed my life.

I have learnt the tools needed to get me through basic life tasks that used to be like facing a den full of hungry lions. I can go food shopping on my own again, which seems like a basic task, but before I would be close to fainting at the thought of being in a shop.

She has given me the skills to be able to open scary emails, answer phone calls and make them without any feeling of nausea. I can now meet new people and talk freely without any thoughts creeping into my mind. I can finally go into crowds and not feel like I’m being suffocated.

Not only has she given me confidence in myself again but has given tools for me to use weekly to carry on this state of mind. Should it be needed, there are options for repeat sessions in the future to stop me getting to the lowest point again.

I could not recommend this enough. If you’re thinking about having sessions, do it. It truly is life changing and will change the way you view your anxiety and give you the tools to acknowledge it but not let it control your life anymore.

Ivonne from Canada (Private Testimonial) 

Thank you so much for helping through my anxiety. I have told my close friends and family just how life changing your practice is. You guided me in finding my confidence and strength to over power my anxious triggers; something I felt so consumed by, now does not hold real estate in my mind. You showed me the tools and techniques I need to manage anxiety and continue to grow as a confident individual. Hypnotherapy helped me reach a level of understanding of myself that gives me the ability to lessen those anxious triggers, which in turn has now given confidence to even accept my ‘failures’. Thank you so much Laura.

Hazel from Honiton, Devon (Private Testimonial)

I thoroughly enjoyed every hypnotherapy session with Laura and really enjoyed her company. I felt better after each session and it really helped my hip pain. Thank you so much, Laura. 

Liz from Ilminster, Somerset (Facebook Review) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Laura's non-judgmental and expert skillset helped me to become (almost!) half the woman I was just over a year ago. She has helped me regain my body, which, in turn, has helped me regain my life. I am incredibly grateful that I found her. If you need to change any habit, I can't recommend her highly enough. Thank you so much, Laura. 

LD from Ottery St. Mary, Devon (Private Testimonial)

Your sessions have really helped me to not get caught up worrying about things. I found the thought observation exercise was really helpful because it got me to separate myself from thoughts and learn no not let them overcome me. The last session was particularly helpful around building confidence. Thank you so much for all your help. It's worked wonders for me. 

PF from Honiton, Devon (Private Testimonial)

I found working with Laura to be an immense help. She was able to quickly identify my issue and develop ways to remove the blocks. She has a calm and reassuring manner and soothing voice that makes you feel in safe hands. She also went the extra mile to provide meditations and exercises that I could use between sessions. I would highly recommend her! 

Nigel from Lyme Regis, Dorset (Private Testimonial)

Dear Laura, just a big thank you from me for sorting out my mind and thoughts. You are truly inspirational and a great guider of thoughts. I would 100% suggest anybody who is going through a rough patch or suffering bad thoughts or struggling with life's ups and downs, consider have hypnotherapy by Laura, you will be amazed how it will help you look at things in a different light. After six sessions my mind is totally clear as to what direction I should take, it has put all things into perspective.
