Confidence

“Hypnotherapy was a mystery to me, and I really wasn’t sure about whether it could help me, but I am a curious person, so I went into my first appointment with an open mind. I am so glad I did, as the outcome has been astounding for me. More than counselling alone has been previously.

Iona put me at ease straight away and after an overview of hypnotherapy and of me, we explored aspect of me and my life we should work on. I chose confidence because many years of mental illness and ill-health had robbed me of all confidence.

The sessions have a structure, so you know what to expect each week. We explored confidence and what it means to me, and each session focused on exactly that. I learned about the three Ps of positivity and how my confidence ties in with the methodology.

The hypnotherapy aspect of each appointment was a breath of fresh air. Settle down, relax and listen to Iona take me on a journey of exploration. Iona’s voice is beautifully relaxing and makes trusting the process a breeze. The theme of confidence ran throughout the hypnotherapy and helped me so much to develop exactly that.

The aspect of the appointment that was most profound for me was rating my feeling of confidence in different scenarios and seeing a score. After just three sessions, my score shot up the chart and from there onward I saw a steady growth. This encouraged me so much and just seeing this improved my confidence. There were, of course, dips along the way, but that’s life, but growth continued throughout. I was able to experience real confidence out in the real world and deal with situations I had never done for many years.

Hypnotherapy has changed my life for the better, without a doubt. My quality of life has improved, as has my resilience. I can now take on new experiences with confidence and feel real joy seeing how much I have grown over the months of hypnotherapy. I apply what I have learned in the real world and now my life is a happier place.

Thank you to Iona for her belief in me, her encouragement, and her enthusiasm at seeing me grow in confidence each week. This positive feedback helped me grow even more!”
