David from London kindly wrote

Dear Kirsten,

Even though we only met yesterday I want to share a few things I have noticed about the changes within myself.

I have had some conversations with people where I would have normally allowed myself to be swayed or influenced by their frustration/anger which would have led to me feeling resentful. I have found a definite sense of feeling calm and clear when communicating, but more importantly, felt so much more true to myself with an accompanying sense of ease and confidence. My mother commented that she had not seen me 'be' this way for years. Isn't that just fantastic?

Someone else made a comment that I seemed 'cold' because I said that I did not want to make any forward arrangements for Easter. I felt very good within myself for being able to clearly, confidently and calmly state that I was not being cold, merely free to choose!

I keep on 'noticing' new things and it feels very exciting and so so liberating.

It appears Kirsten, that with your skilled assistance, I am experiencing meaningful changes, that years of psychotherapy only made small inroads into.

I will keep in touch.

With kindest regards

David

Peter kindly sent me the below email after 3 sessions for weightloss. I have spoken to him since and he has now lost 3 stone!
As you can see from the email, hypnotherapy can help you to not only change your eating habits, but also the emotions that triggered the comfort eating.

Hi Kirsten,

I hope you’re well.

Firstly, I just have to say a very big THANK YOU!!!

Without a doubt, you have completely changed my life for the better.
I know it’s still early, but things are just so different now that every day I’m even more surprised.
The world seems nicer and easier to deal with, and so many people have noticed a big difference in me.
I’m not even trying that hard to be different, it just all seems to be coming naturally to me at the moment.
My inner child is very happy and content, and he also thanks you very much (I hope that doesn’t sound strange).
I’m losing weight, eating healthily, and I am totally not interested in bad foods anymore, they don’t taste nice or make me feel good.
Dealing with difficult situations has got so much easier also, as now I seem to be able to take a step back and see the bigger picture much more clearly.

Basically, you are incredible at what you do, and I will always be grateful and thankful to you.
Thank you again, and if I need a top-up later in the year I’ll definitely get in touch.

Very big and very kind regards,

Peter, London

MP Mr Derek Wyatt, had a single session for fear of heights.The Newspaper 'Kentnews'interviewed Derek about his experience.

Hypnotherapist cures Labour MP’s fear of heights

Since a visit to the Eiffel Tower at the age of 22, Labour MP for Sittingbourne and Sheppey Derek Wyatt discovered he had a fear of heights that made him feel sick and ever since he has tried to avoid being more than about 10 feet high.
This fear stopped MP Wyatt from going up ladders, using open lifts or even driving p narrow roads when abroad in France or Italy. Not only that but Mr Wyatt loved to ski and had to cover his eyes when being taken up the side of snowy hills and mountains.
When the opportunity for a Christmas skiing trip in Canada came up, the now 59 years old MP decided he had had enough and made an appointment to see a hypnotherapist.
He told Kentnews:
“If you’ve got children who want to be taken skiing, it’s not much fun if you can’t join in or have lunch with them at the top.”
The hypnotherapist initially booked Mr Wyatt in for four separate hypnosis sessions, each of which would last around 90 minutes, however, after one session of hypnotherapy she told Mr Wyatt he was cured.
When it came to the skiing trip, Mr Wyatt went on the largest ski lift in the world and did not feel even a wobble. Mr Wyatt was delighted with the hypnotherapy and went on to add:
“I had hoped the hypnotherapy would work, but at my age I’d try anything to get over my fear. I was delighted when it did. I know people who have been helped to quit smoking and all sorts of other things, so I’d certainly recommend it.”

Abbie saw me for weightloss, she had 2 sessions.

Hi Kirsten,

I hope you're well!

I'm emailing about my next appointment. I'm hoping it's okay to postpone it indefinitely? You've worked wonders, I've lost about a stone since I first came to see you in June and, amazingly, I'm still focussed (although have a couple of pounds left to go.) Best of all it's been easy as anything and the self-hypnosis you taught me has been brilliant! I haven't eaten chocolate, cake or biscuits since our first appointment.

Thank you SO much for your help.

Abbie,London

Nicole has sent me an e-mail after a single stop smoking session

I would like to thank you for helping me quit smoking! I am truly amazed at how easy it is! I have absolutely no withdrawal symptoms and no desire to smoke. And the best part… I have not been irritable!! Fantastic! I have been out twice where I have been tempted, by force of habit, but I have not done it. It is as if there is a road block inside of me that says "no thanks!" I really am a non-smoker!

Thanks so much for your help!
Nicole

Majbritt has experienced a very positive change after treatments for anxiety

A little time has passed since I was seeing you, and now I have a little more of an overview of what impact the treatments have had. I already see that things have changed. I just wanted to tell you how delightful the process was for me. I have never been so much in the present moment as I am now. It is an enormous relief. Now I do not waste time worrying about what may happen and imagining the worst. My energies are focused on the now, which give me excess energy. The old worries, anger etc. have lost their power, which means that I do not get tired so quickly, because the old stuff is not activated. This makes me stronger and less vulnerable.
I also feel that I have become much better at detecting when I am becoming angry and I am able to manage it, instead of before, when I could simply absorb the anger into my body. I also do not take on other peoples' worries or pain anymore. I can separate things better.
Overall, I feel much happier. My dreams have changed and I have not felt anxious.
Seeing you those five times was a big help for me. You are a warm and inviting person, yet you act like a thorough professional. I have been 100% satisfied with you, and I would easily and happily seek your help another time.
I hope that at some time I could participate in one of your courses.

Sincerely,
Majbritt

Caroline used to be terrified of spiders. She was looking for a house in the countryside and needed to get rid of her phobia. She got rid of it in two sessions.

Last summer I saw you for two treatment sessions for my fear of spiders.

We were looking for a house at that time and now we have found one….and a few large spiders as well. I just want to say that when I see a really fat one (one of the ones that crunch if you step on it) I just take a deep breath and remove it with a piece of paper. I was never able to do that before! I am very happy that I do not need to call my boyfriend every time I see a spider.

Again, I would like to thank you so much for your help. I will never forget it!

Best regards,
Caroline

Peter suffered from insomnia, but is now able to sleep comfortably at night.

I am sending you this note to let you know that I actually have slept through the night since I saw you at the end of June. I am so glad that I contacted you. You have helped my family and me. I sleep without problems, wake up once or twice per night, but fall asleep after using the toilet. I have been a little worried a few times before falling asleep, but I used the techniques you taught me and I fall into a deep sleep.
I notice that it has improved my mood and my everyday life has become much easier.

THANKS!

Kind regards Peter

Birgitte came in to ‘feel better’ and achieve more inner peace.

I would gladly recommend you to other people. What you did for me is so positive. Having you help other people with the same problem makes me happy.

Ulla switched to part-time hours at work due to anxiety, but after two treatments, she has gone back to full-time again and I am glad to hear that she is doing really well. It is also a very positive thing that her employer paid for her treatments.

First and foremost, I would like to thank you, because I am doing better than ever! There are no more tears and I can make myself better understood and say what I mean. It is nice! And I do not need to eat for comfort. As of today, I am working full-time at my job again!

Susan wanted to raise her self-esteem and learn to listen to her own needs.

I turned to you, because I suffered from low self-esteem, lack of self-confidence and generally felt bad. I did not feel good enough, did not feel like I was adequate, and was caught in a vicious cycle, where I was almost always unhappy and had constant headaches. My experience with you has been more than positive and even after the first hypnosis treatment, I quickly felt a change. I have been going to see you regularly because there is a lot to work with, but we are definitely making progress and I notice a change every time. I have not had a headache for five weeks, and that is big news. I have had tension headaches for close to ten years and took different migraine pills each month – and now I have not taken one in five weeks...

Now I see myself as a worthwhile human being with many good qualities and a lot of offer. I am more happy-go-lucky and I do not get bothered by other people. My excessive desire to please, which I have had for many years, is about to be a closed chapter in my life. Now, I believe in myself, and object to things that are not okay with me. It is a new and delightful experience to be able to do this without having a guilty conscience.

I am getting my sense of humour back. I can laugh and smile again, which is a relief in itself. I have always been a fun-loving, happy and positive person, but a few difficult, personal problems (divorce, jealousy, disappointments/failures) put me on the wrong course. I fell into a hole, which was difficult for me to get out of. You empowered me to change course and come up out of the hole, got me to believe in myself and get a hold of myself again. I thank you so much for this and there is no doubt that without you it would have never worked out...

I am continuing my treatments with you. But coming so far after just five treatment sessions is something I could not have dreamed of. I know that I am going in the right direction, and that my self-image will eventually change, so that when I am finished with my treatment, I will be new person. Namely, a girl who lives in balance and harmony with herself, who is strong and believes in herself, and who does not need to adapt to or please other people. In my opinion, the good effects have not been limited to the actual problem, but also to earlier times and childhood, and the effect has spread like a drop of water in a pond, and has gotten me to see things clearly. I can finally start to distinguish between what is right for me and what is wrong.

Your personality affected me to a great degree and made the process unbelievably smooth. You are unbelievably pleasant and good at what you do and appear to be very soothing and inspire confidence in all situations. I would clearly recommend you to everyone...

I look forward to continued positive changes with you.

All the best
Susan

Karen has sent an e-mail after one treatment session for fear of flying.

Yes, as you can see I survived the trip :o)

It went SO well. I was still mildly stressed at the beginning, but otherwise I was totally happy and relaxed. I could look out of the window and thought it was beautiful, I watched a movie, ate and read without problems, and the best thing was that I had such complete confidence in the pilots that the plane was almost my friend :o). We even came across another plane on the way, which we closely flew by, and I thought it was fun, where I would have been close to death before. I had the feeling that it was a method of transportation like any other, and I should just lean back and enjoy the ride, and I did just that. My experience with you has been incredibly positive. You were very good at getting me to relax in this new situation. You quickly demystified the word hypnosis. It was worth gold that you explained and painted a picture of how the process works, and gave a few words and examples that anyone could understand. The trauma treatment was very good, because you were able to turn a very unpleasant experience (flying) into something fun, and can actually get me to smile.
Otherwise, I had a pleasant and warm vacation.

So, much thanks for your help, I would clearly recommend you to anyone I meet with a phobia.

Sincerely
Karen

Excerpt from a postcard from Lena, who had hypnosis treatments to improve here athletic performance.

"...I would just like to say thanks for the tools that you showed me. It is exciting to learn to use them myself and access the resources I have. I have become stronger in a whole other way than I thought possible. I have learned to listen to myself – and trust what I hear!..."

All the best
Lena

Paul sent an e-mail after 3 sessions. He felt nervous and anxious about meeting new people.

I decided to write you a follow-up note about the treatment I got for my anxiety around meeting new people, because it appears that I have gotten an unbelievable amount out of the treatment. So, I would just like to say thank you very much for a very positive and effective treatment, since it has finally withstood the "real test". It is nice to know that it also works in other situations.

Best regards
Paul

Here is a little follow-up message on the treatment I got from you almost 2 ½ weeks ago.
The effect of the treatment has been really good. The change has been exactly what I wanted it to be. It is a great help and a great relief to know that psychological help and tools are available, which can quickly remedy the frustrations and problems in a very gentle and relaxing way and that you can notice that "it works". In my experience, the good effect was not only centred on the actual problem, but also spread to other parts of my life and got me to see things more clearly and distinguish between what is right and what is wrong for me.
It is equally important that the therapist is friendly and welcoming, which are clearly qualities that you possess.

Best regards
Kris
