I went to see Ailsa after my fear of flying got so bad I had to cancel a flight to my favourite place, Paris. Just a few days before we were due to go i said to my husband I cannot get on that plane I’m sorry! We lost the flight money and I had to pay to get there on the Eurostar it was not cheap. Then I knew I had to do something, so I had hypnotherapy with Ailsa, and it was the best thing ever.  Now I feel really calm about flying and the anxiety just is not an issue. Ailsa is a very intuitive person and extremely professional in her work I would not hesitate to recommend her to my family and friends.”

I had already quit alcohol and changed my life for the better and so Ailsa asked me why was I there to see her if I could achieve all this on my own, well we all know how hard it is to stop smoking otherwise you wouldn’t be reading this.

I had a really comfortable and frank consultation, after which I had my hypotherapy session and since then (2 weeks) I can stay in control still and I have to remind myself sometimes that I haven’t had even a glimmer of a thought of smoking, which is weird but incredibly satisfying.

If i can stop smokingusing this method, anyone can.

Thankyou Ailsa for helping me to achieve this last bit of freedom in my life.

Having been in and out of depression over the last eight years, had anti-depressants at various points and even anger management therapy at the Priory, hitting my 65 year old father and trying to throw my wife out of the house after drinking too much was the final straw. I  had taken my anger out on those that I loved and was about to loose everything.

I needed to do something different if my family and I were to survive this and I found East Cheshire Hypnotherapy’s web site.

Nervously, I rang Ailsa, but she was friendly and professional and we booked a consultation to discuss the process and me in more detail.

We started the therapy the next week.

Having always bottled up my emotions, sharing them with Ailsa was no mean task and opening up to myself, let alone Ailsa, was something that  I was convinced would not happen. However, over the weeks I became more relaxed, went deeper under hypnosis and more importantly built up a trust with Ailsa. She was not judgmental, not critical but just aided in a process of self discovery.

So how did Ailsa help me help myself in the end?

I had been angry in the latter years of my childhood after my parents split up, but as I grew up and matured this anger dissipated. However,  problems at the birth of my first child left me feeling helpless with situations out of my control. This and the pressures of a new addition to the family and also conflicts at work sent me on the spiral into depression which I roller coasted for the last 8 years, never really finishing the ride.

We found, when looking back on my life under hypnosis, key moments  where re-occurring feelings and emotions of helplessness and anger had  occurred. Eventually we found the first time I’d felt like this: after  witnessing a major argument between my mother and father as a child.  Recognizing this simple event and looking back with an adult mind at the emotions I was feeling has changed my life.

I am now more confident, know what I want from life and a now feel able to get on with it. I have stopped blaming others for my anger and it is now as if that part of me has gone. I feel human again and the only challenge seems to be getting my wife to believe that I am again
the carefree confident person she married.”

When you said to me, at the start of the sessions I had with you, that it would be a few months after we had finished that I would feel the benefit, I had no comprehension of what you meant, let alone how it would feel.

Well, I do now.

I feel fantastic: my thinking is clearer, I am far more confident, I am more organised, more pro-active and I am regaining parts of my old self that I feared were lost forever. Moreover, I can speak up for myself without fearing I am starting World War III.

I am still recovering from M.E. but wake up every morning really looking forward to the day ahead and feeling great to be alive. I am so excited for my future……Thank you for helping me get to this amazing place and time in my life. Take care and best wishes ”
