* An Inspirational Client Story - Linda 

I was delighted when Linda, one of my previous clients, kindly agreed to allow me to share her story as an inspiration to others considering hypnotherapy to help them to make the positive changes they desire for their lives.

Linda booked up for the Hypnotherapy Gastric Band in January 2014, which involves 3 x 1 hour individual hypnotherapy sessions and a follow-up CD. While her story is not typical, it is remarkable for anyone who is interested in learning about the power of hypnotherapy for losing weight, or indeed any changes they want to make in their lives. I was delighted to receive the following email message in May, only 4 months later.

* "Hi Vicky,

I hope this email finds you well,

I am just sending you an email to let you know my progress.

After having the last gastric band session with you on 27 January this year I have lost to date 5 Stone 1 Pound and I have dropped down 4 dress sizes.

I want to thank you and let you know that it has changed my life drastically, I am a lot more confident than I used to be, I am not on a diet I have made a complete lifestyle change, I haven't had any crisps, chocolates, cakes, sweets anything that's not healthy for me since you helped me.

Again this was just a message to thank you again.

Linda"

Linda prior to her Hypnotherapy Gastric Band


Linda participated in my pilot of the new Weight Loss & Confidence Workshop Programme in August, at which point she had proudly lost just under 7 stone. 

To ensure she is achieving maximum benefit from the hypnotherapy received in January, she booked in for a single refresher session in September, with which she received a new follow-up CD. She continues to make steady and effective progress towards her target, and has achieved not only weight loss, but a complete change, achieving a healthier lifestyle overall for herself, and also her family.

I had a number of sessions with Vicky and she was quick to get to know my story and exactly where I was coming from, so she could then help me accordingly. She even gave practical exercises to take home to be done in my own time after certain sessions which I feel was a great touch and aided in the therapy quite significantly. I would definitely recommend Vicky! - Robbie, July 2026, Google

Vicky is kind, empathetic and diligent. I have worked with a number of therapists over the years and Vicky is definitely one of the best I have come across. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. - Doug, July 2026, Google

I went to see Vicky to get help in overcoming my fear of bridges and heights. My ambition was to walk over the old Forth Road Bridge, and not to panic when crossing the Friarton Bridge at Perth. Vicky gave me an exercise to do and between us a mantra to ' enjoy the view.' 

I can now drive over the Friarton Bridge and the Queensferry Crossing completely calm. On Sunday 3 November 2024, I walked over the old Forth Road Bridge and back again.....and did enjoy the view! Thank you Vicky for your help! - Christopher, Nov 2024, Google

Vicky is incredibly patient, empathetic and understanding. I’ve seen Vicky for a while now, and have noticed a marked improvement in my well-being and ability to cope with challenges. I’ve always felt supported and accepted by Vicky, and I highly recommend her.   - Susie, Feb 2024, Google

I went to Vicky about my fear of flying. This was a fear that ruined every holiday and with my partner having a big birthday we wanted to celebrate in America.
Vicky was so patient with me and gave me the best help ever. I have now been to USA where I never thought I would get. I took 5 flights in a fortnight and actually enjoyed the experience. It was the first time ever.

Vicky takes time to get to know you and really investigates the problem fully. Vicky has changed my outlook on holidays and both my partner and I are ever so grateful.
Thank you so much for all your time, patience and solutions.

I felt very calm relaxed during my session and found I thought about what she had said during it and out it into practice which I found really surprising. Looking forward to my next session. - Emily, Aug 2019, Treatwell

Vicky was very friendly and welcoming. I felt instantly at ease. We covered a lot of my background and I felt that Vicky was really listening to me and understanding my issue which is quite complex and multilayered. I like that we are working in collaboration and I’m not just being ‘fixed’ as Vicky gave me exercises to do to encourage me. I’m really looking forward to future sessions. - Anonymous
