SOME EXAMPLES OF RECENT CLIENT FEEDBACK:Please find below just a selection of feedback that I have received from some clients in the past couple of years. I hope their stories will give you the strength to make a start with your own healing journey. Counselling and hypnotherapy Client: Sally is quite different, and it quickly became apparent that not only was she an improvement upon the other people I had already seen, she was much quicker in identifying the root cause of my problems. Her ability to empathise was obvious, too. I soon began to look forward to my sessions with Sally, since they were a weekly oasis of calm and balm and I always left her feeling better about myself, and more positive about the challenges that faced me. In retrospect I wish that I had gone to see Sally two years earlier; conventional counselling may work for some and acupuncture certainly calmed me, but neither had a lasting effect whereas my sessions with Sally certainly did. I would commend Sally to anyone suffering from stress or anxiety, confident that they would quickly see an improvement – and that they would enjoy life more as a result." Hypnotherapy and counselling client: “ I wanted to let you know how I have been getting on. I have felt so much better over the last year. I am still seeing my boyfriend but I no longer need him to make a commitment for me to feel complete. I feel so much more relaxed and confident with myself. I am happy to enjoy our relationship each day as it comes. I have taken all my medals and just passed my grade with distinction. I am still listening to your CD which I find is really helping me. Thank you for all your help." Hypnotherapy and Counselling Client: Thank you for all your help and support over the past year or so; I am so grateful. I cannot express the difference you have made to me. I am sure I will see you again....as the journey is not over. Many thanks to you. Hypnotherapy and counselling Client: "Working with Sally has been a huge pleasure. Her amazing skills in helping people overcome their fears and release past issues has made such an improvement to my happiness and self confidence. The work I did with Sally enabled me to move on and pursue the career goals I had been hoping to achieve for many years. Sally also helped me tremendously during the birth of my child through 'Hypno-birthing' sessions. I felt completely calm throughout the birth experience and my baby was born in perfect health. I have now booked refresher sessions on preparation for the next birth! Thank you so much Sally!" Hypnotherapy and counselling client: "An Angel from Heaven : “Do you feel you can work with me” …………. These were the words that brought tears to my eyes, Sally asked me this when I went for my consultation. Nobody had ever cared what I felt or thought before, and for a person to say such simple words that meant I really was somebody, it was the beginning of the journey that would change my life. I have seen a handful of counsellors over the past 12 years and not one of them made me feel that they REALLY cared, like Sally has. Clock watching, looks of boredom, no feedback (from previous counsellors), I felt more stressed coming out of their office than going into it! The thought of Hypnotherapy was frightening but took me a lot further forward than just counselling alone. The mind is such a powerful creation and should not be taken for granted. You will be amazed what you are capable of and what you can achieve in life with knowledge, and the right guidance and encouragement." Hypnotherapy and counselling client: “An invaluable experience that has helped me to build confidence in all areas of my life and be truly happy with who I am. The hypnotherapy has and continues to be a helpful tool for dealing with everyday challenges and has been of excellent support to me. Sally enabled me to relax very quickly and provided a safe and confidential environment for me to discuss my issues.” Counselling and hypnotherapy Client: "I found you by accident really, looking for weight loss answers, and having not tried hypnosis before thought I would give it a try. As it turned out, weight wasn't the problem. Once in your company I realised what an emotional and mental trauma I was going through in my personal life. I feel you helped me see "me", helped me see that others put their insecurities on me and that I was not going mad. You helped me understand why others acted as they do. I now see things and people in a new light, see negativity in others and no longer feel the need to uplift or give so much of myself to their cause. Therapy opened new doors for me, by knowing what I want and what I will accept for myself. Having felt invisible most of my life, I now feel I am someone. It sent me on a whole learning curve of self discovery and now have the life I deserve. I do believe I had to go through the lesson, as heart breaking as it was, to be where I am today. To have your reassurance and understanding in the process has been a huge help and I believe gave me clarity to find my new path in life. I am pleased I also tried and was open to regression and rebirth. I’m truly grateful for your support and help throughout my personal crisis. I found your approach very special. I found it very spiritual. I felt it a safe and peaceful place to be, when I was in such a dark place myself." Counselling and hypnotherapy Client: "Sally ensured I felt comfortable and at ease right from our first meeting. I felt that Sally had the right balance between guiding me through the sessions and letting me choose my own journey. The hypnotherapy and other techniques that Sally used were very effective for me and allowed me to understand the causes of my anxiety attacks and in the end overcome them. Sally was supportive, intuitive and understanding. The therapy with Sally was exactly what I needed to help me through an incredibly difficult time in my life." Counselling and hypnotherapy client: “Wow, what a journey. Thank you. Your help has been invaluable!”. Long term counselling client: “I began seeing Sally Elizabeth just over 2 years ago. When I began therapy I was a lost soul, a frightened child and basically an emotional wreck. I’m a 35 year old woman and can now only say I am an emotionally healed and stable young woman due to the therapy I have had with Sally. Sally has listened to me and encouraged me to find the courage within my self to deal with all the past traumas and excruciating pain that I have endured since the age of 5. She provided me with a secure and safe place to go to and when I enter her room I immediately feel at calm and at peace, which has really helped me in my journey to complete healing. She has always been so empathetic and understanding and allows me to just talk, cry and laugh, sometimes all at once. I was a victim of sexual abuse from a young age which led me to be emotionally traumatised, unable to believe in myself at all, always believing that I was a really bad person and that it was all my fault. Along with that, I felt dirty, cheap, ugly, unlovable and unable to feel comfortable or acceptable to other people. But as my therapy has progressed I have been able to deal with the pain and little by little let go of all the years of trapped inner pain, almost as if the prison bars around me have been removed and I am free. Sally has always allowed me to deal with the pain at my own pace and allowed me to say as little or as much as I have wanted to or been able to at each session, which has been absolutely helpful. I gained trust in Sally almost immediately after our 1st session (which is very rare for me……. or shall I say was!). I feel Sally has never judged me for what I have said to her, even when the things that I have told her have, to my own feelings, seemed really bad. I was unable to cry tears for many years and at the start of my therapy I talked about the pain but I cried inside not allowing the tears to fall. She made me feel that there is nothing wrong or weak with crying and so she taught me how important it is to actually release the years of pain through tears and allowing myself to feel that pain and that I did not have to believe that to cry is weak. Now I have become somewhat a ‘cry-baby’ and it feels good. Through all the sessions I have come to know the person I really am and I began to like myself and to enjoy finding out who I am. I have been through many harrowing hospital admissions seeing physiologists and psychiatrists back in S.A. but none of them ever really listened but instead put me into a category and treated me as a number. Sally has always treated me as a person and a respected one at that. Without Sally Elizabeth’s help and gentle understanding and patient manner I would not be where I am right now. I was a frightened child, scared of everyone and everything, thinking I had to just allow people to continue to walk all over me and treat me as they wish because I thought I deserved it. But now I can stand tall, laugh spontaneously and have found true happiness and fulfilment. She helped me to do this just by listening to me and believing in me and this has given me self confidence and the ability to face life’s challenges and work through them positively and effectively. Sally gave me therapy exercises to do and doing them has been amazing and helped me on my journey to recovery. I still have some way to go, but from the beginning till now I still sometimes look at myself in the mirror and say “Is this really me?..... Am I the same person?.....”. From a brittle, dried out flower I have blossomed into a lovely flower. Without her really amazing therapeutic techniques I could not sit here with laughter in my heart and write this. So to end off, I have to always thank her and I truly believe that there are many lost, hurting people who could benefit from this therapy and change their life and become happy and fulfilled as I have.” Counselling and hypnotherapy Client "Sally was recommended to me by a friend. I had been in a dysfunctional relationship for over 7 years and despite numerous attempts and pleading from my friends I had been unable to end it. Without ever making me feel embarrassed or telling me what course of action to take, Sally guided me through the process of addressing the issues preventing me from taking the final step and the aftermath that ensued when I was ready to take it. I have no doubt that my personal wellbeing has been greatly enhanced by the time I spent with Sally as she was an invaluable support when I needed it the most. I would recommend her understanding, kind and calming nature to anyone thinking of trying counselling or therapy. Sally lets you set your own pace to the healing process and seems to know instinctively which is the best course and methods to take. I have whole heartedly recommended her to a very close friend who is now one of Sally's clients." Counselling Client: "Thank you so much for your help and support over the last few months. I can see things differently now and feel more at peace". Short term hypnotherapy Client: “This time I have given up for good (smoking – had tried other techniques before). I didn’t tell anyone I was doing it and my friends can’t believe it. Thanks again. There is someone else who I know could do with your help so I’ll be in touch”
Counselling and Hypnotherapy Client: “I just wanted to say thank you again for all your support, ‘advice’ and encouragement during the past year since I have been visiting you. I have got so much from our sessions together and I am hugely grateful to have found you. ….You have taught me how to focus my mind, keep calm and put things into perspective. These are priceless gifts I’ll work hard to keep. All the best to you Sally”
Counselling and Hypnotherapy Client: Dear Sally, I just wanted to say thank you for the way you are helping me. This is the first time that I have talked to someone in the UK that I feel cares for the way I feel, wants me to get better and can help me. Thank you.
Counselling and Hypnotherapy Client: Just to say thank you for everything you’ve helped me with over the past couple of months. I feel much happier now with how things are going and that is down to you being so good and being patient with me! I hope you are well and I will always call if I need a top-up, it is well worth it. Thank you once again! Everything’s looking up! :-) |
