I came to see Nichola after having some panic attacks in my new work environment. This was a particularly upsetting experience which consumed me each day with the worry of an attack. Initially I had hypnotherapy with Nichola then some cognitive therapy sessions. Nichola made me understand that what I was experiencing wasn't uncommon and the therapy helped me overcome my fears of panicking and how I could deal with stressful situations for which I am grateful for - I have not had a panic attack for 6 months now' - Panic Attacks - Joanne
Having been sent home 3 hours earlier at 2cm dilated, the midwife looked sceptical that I was back and was reluctant to check me due to the risk of infection. However she told me, looking shocked and quite impressed that I was now 8cms dilated in a very short time. 1hr 30 mins later my beautiful daughter was born in the birthing pool with only gas and air.The midwife who delivered my baby said it was obvious I had coaching of some kind.I would highly recommend Nichola's sessions to anyone having a baby. For me it helped me be prepared and in control and also conquered my fear. Thanks again Nichola for all your help and support - Fiona
My 9 year old son had been suffering with severe lack of focus and concentration for as long as I can remember, something we feel was initially caused by severe glue ear as a toddler and developed into a bad habit of 'switching off' and not paying attention. It was more of an issue when it came to anything academic and this impacted significantly on his development in school and inevitably lead to self-esteem issues and behaviour problems at home. After 3 sessions with Nichola, we have already seen a significant improvement in his concentration, both at home and at school. In fact after only the second session, he was nominated 'Star of the Day' for good work and concentration and he is just generally more focussed, doing better in school and listening which is something he definitely didn't do before! His confidence is improving also. I would thoroughly recommend Nichola ... she had a great way of dealing with Leon and he warmed to her immediately which made return visits very easy!" Amanda
I came to see Nichola with a hang-up I had over an aspect of my physical appearance that was really making me quite miserable.It was something I had been bullied about at school and as a result it had ended up being something that I constantly obsessed about - literally all the time! I'd think about when I woke up, on the way to work, at work, when I went out at night, when I was with my friends, boyfriends, on holiday - it really was all consuming!I'm so grateful to Nichola, because, although this is still something I don't 100% love about my appearance, the scale of this problem has been massively reduced. It doesn't constantly occupy my thoughts anymore, and I'm much more rational in my view of how other people see me.Doing hypnotherapy really has been one of the best decisions of my life because, to everyone else, and even myself it seemed like a silly problem - but Nichola acknowledged how seriously it was impacting me and really helped me completely transform my perspective."Carolyn
Before Nichola we tried various therapies last year, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) & Scheme Therapy. Although these were all useful it was Nichola’s direct, firm, empathic and thoroughly practical approach that worked wonders for our relationship (we have been together for 18 years). She dealt with issues head-on in a concise and targeted way. Nichola helped me gain emotional perspective on a traumatic childhood event (which happened 30 years ago) and also on more recent emotional scars. She will certainly be at the top of my list if ever I need this kind of support in the future - Elizabeth

Well it’s good news… absolutely no cigs….. It is so very weird not to be a smoker anymore. Not unpleasant either – just unusual. My sense of smell is much more acute & I am not eating more to compensate.You should be very proud of yourself that after 36 years of smoking you have deprogrammed me! Thank you!!Mia x
You hypnotised me over three years ago at Chiswick Esporta and I have not touched a cigarette to my lips since - insane" Jordanna
Hi Nichola,You may recall, you treated me a couple of weeks ago to help me with my fear of skiing, open spaces, being out of control, mountains, heights etc, etc. I thought you might like a bit of feedback on how it went!!Well I loved it!! I had no fear whatsoever. The first morning was the most challenging waking up to heavy snow and being rushed down the ski hire shop by the holiday guides to boot up then off up the mountain in a big group in blinding snow!! After a few anxious moments, I was fine!! On lifts, on pistes etc no problems (apart from being freezing) . The weather cleared up on day 2 and it was glorious, the views amazing.I did find out however that I am a very very bad skier!! So I just skied at my own level and did not let myself be pressurised into doing things beyond my capability. Next time we go I shall have one to one lessons to try and improve my technique (particularly stopping!)Thanks for everything Nichola, I shall recommend you to all my friends! What could have been a nightmare turned into a fantastic holiday - Lynn
I went to see Nichola for hypnosis after smoking nearly all my life. I must admit it wasn't easy at first, but she gave me my free back up support immediately when I lapsed & I must say now that it has been a great success. I feel fantastic & full of energy.Thank You Nichola you've changed my lifeAnnie
For the first time, after a life of diets, food regimes, starving and bingeing, I have a structure of eating that I actually enjoy. From my initial session with Nichola my excess weight easily and painlessly dropped away and my body, which was fast becoming shapeless and frumpy, looks youthful again. Menopause symptoms have subsided considerably and I have more energy. In addition I now have an awareness of emotional eating triggers and am equipped with methods to overcome them. I am very grateful to Nichola for guiding me into and showing me this new freedom"Sandra
