Living for me
★★★★★
“ I was at a stage in my life where I was trapped by my life, family, work and my failing relationship. I was constantly angry with myself, the situation I was in and how everything seemed to be my fault. My sessions came about when my boyfriend told me I needed help and how I had anxiety as I never wanted to do anything. At this point I started the sessions for him, to keep him happy!!! I've learnt alot from my sessions "I was a people pleaser" I was keeping everyone around me happy... I basically served all close to me but this was never returned. I am now single and moving forward. On my bad days I practice Mindfulness, I keep a dairy and concentrate on the positives and take time out for me... which was so hard as I had never put myself first or told myself to stop and breath. It all sounds so simple on paper but I was not doing the simple things. Now and in the furture I take my life one day at a time, some days are hour by hour. I plan little trips away to recharge my soul and I have become a "me person". I have my responsibilities.... my son and his needs, home life and work but this isn't just what I'm about....I am Rachel and I am living for me and breathing.”

Grateful for kindness
★★★★★
“ I knew I needed help when I found Alison online, I just wasn't sure exactly what help I needed. It was easy to set up our first meeting and even though I was very anxious before it, once I got talking and told Alison my story, I felt very comfortable. From our first meeting Alison was able to figure out what I needed and the direction my sessions should take. These sessions helped me show kindness to myself and make sense of the things I was struggling with, for which I am extremely grateful.”

Great assistance in finding coping mechanisms
★★★★☆
“ Anxiety and panic attacks mainly based on the concept of long distance travel, namely plane and car journeys. I was encouraged by a workmate to try hypnotherapy so felt positive about the sessions. As a result, I have been assisted in understanding potential reasoning behind the feelings of anxiety, and most of all learned an all-important mechanism to deal with feelings of anxiety. I have since been on multiple flights and long journeys and dealt with the anxiety quickly whenever I’ve needed to, enabling me to enjoy my experiences rather than fear them. This is hugely beneficial to my personal career development, and carried over to my private life.”
