Birkdale Hypnotherapy 

Cathy originally did tell me my issue of biting nails in one session, and must admit i did nt have the same confidence, but walked out after our first meeting knowing i would nt bite them again! Can nt fault any process of the procedure s, made to feel very relaxed and welcomed and would fully recommend Cathy to every one 👍

I came to Cathy with anxiety and depression. I had no knowledge or experience of hypnotherapy, and which hypnotherapist to go to was very much a shot in the dark for me. I was very, very fortunate to choose Cathy. It was immediately clear that she is very well qualified in her field, but I subsequently discovered that she is also very well versed in the latest research and willing to employ new techniques that may benefit her clients. She also proved to be very friendly and personable, which made her an exceptionally easy person to talk to. As a result, right from the very outset she was able to settle me down and explain to me very clearly what the sessions were all about and what they would achieve. With this understanding I found it very easy to relax and get the most from the time I spent with her. She explained what could be quite complex concepts in simple terms, without ever talking down to me. I cannot fault her on any level - the practice room is immaculate and very calming, she herself is very welcoming and good at helping people to relax, and her knowledge of her chosen field is extremely impressive. She stands out because of that knowledge and also because she has the perfect personality to make the best use of it when dealing with her clients. I have no hesitation in saying that the improvements I have seen in myself have come about as a direct result of my sessions with her, and I would recommend her to anyone who has problems with depression and/or anxiety.

Cathy is an exceptional hypnotherapist, very professional. She explained how the brain works which made it a lot easier for me to understand my thoughts and feelings and gave me goals to achieve weekly.

Honestly never imagined to get such a life changing out come from this, seen hypnotherapist before but never came close to Cathy, she made in interesting and i would recommend it to anyone!

I saw Cathy to help me stop my 23-year smoking habit and have been amazed at the results! Since she treated me I have not been tempted once to have a cigarette, nor have I had any of the horrendous cravings that I was plagued with during previous attempts at quitting. It's absolutely fantastic! My mood hasn't been anywhere near as bad as it has been upon previously trying to stop (my husband will testify to this!) and the slight mood swings I did have initially only lasted a day or so. I also find that I actually have to stop and count the weeks since my last smoke – I totally lose track – whereas before I was counting the hours, days and weeks. I found Cathy to be extremely understanding and patient throughout our session and very thorough in her explanations, without being at all condescending or judgemental. I am so grateful to Cathy for helping me to quit a habit that I have been trying to break for many years now and I would highly recommend her to anybody who wants to stop smoking, but needs that helping hand. Thank you so much, Cathy – you are literally a life-changer!

Cathy is a very caring and extremely competent hypnotherapist. I have always found her to be very professional and she always treats her clients with the utmost respect. She is very knowledgeable and approaches even the most sensitive issues with thoughtfulness and kindness. I would definitely recommend her.

I have had a terrible phobia of heights all my life , I am now 63 ! Cathy was recommended to me to help . I had 4 sessions with her and then went on holiday . I had to go in a panoramic lift, up a mountain and finally on the highest cable car I have ever seen . I can honestly say that the hypnotherapy enabled me to do all these things , perhaps not with no concern, but certainly without the crippling fear I would have felt . I cannot recommend Cathy highly enough . The therapy was so enjoyable too , relaxing and invigorating at the same time . Thanks Cathy !

From the first contact Catherine was a very open positive and helpful person. She has a professional but caring approach to her clients and has helped me greatly. This sort of therapy is hard to quantify because of the very personal aspect to it's nature, but from my experience it has helped me very much and I would highly recommend her service to anybody needing help.

After trying numerous diets, medication, slimming clubs and dietitians with no effect, except for me to have an overwhelming cycle of guilt feelings, failure and with an eating habit that I felt was total out of control. It was with trepidation and apprehension and a little dash of desperation, I made an appointment to see Cathy.
From the moment I met her I felt valued as a person in a non-judgmental way. Her positiveness gave me feelings of hope for the future and a belief that i could change.
After the first couple of session nothing appeared to change. I was following her program and attending sessions. I cant say when things started to change or why but they did in a big way.
over the last few weeks I have lost over 30lbs in weight and lost over 4 inches from my waist but I have not been on a restrictive diet, counting calories or feeling hungry. I was just eating healthy and feeling happier with my life.
But it not just the weight loss, it is the other changes in me that have been surprising. I now go to the gym 3 or 4 times a week and really enjoying going. My sleep has improved considerably, I am more positive in my out look, my work energy as improved dramatically and I feel more confident in myself.
I don't know what the future will hold and will take it own course but for now I could not be happier and that is down to Cathy and her treatment.
I would highly recommend Cathy and this form treatment. Going to see Cathy was one of the best decisions I have ever made.
Thank you Cathy for all your advice and support you have been a star.********

I went to see cathy to help with relaxation as u was having trouble sleeping. After 2 sessions I felt much calmer and the cd she gave me was an added bonus. I used it regularly at bedtime and was asleep before I knew it. I only need to use this occasionally now as I have now got into better sleeping habits. Highly recommended.

A friend of mine recommended that I go and see Cathy with regards to an issue that I have had for many years.
The way Cathy conducts the sessions puts you at ease from the very start and I felt the changes very quickly and feel better and more confident.
Cathy is very professional and I am happy I chose to go and see her and would recommend her to anyone.

I would not hesitate to recommend Cathy for her professional and caring attitude. I was sceptical at first but she totally put me at ease and I have had fantastic results which have surpassed all my expectations. Worth every penny I only have praise for Cathy.

I came for anxiety and it has helped me travel again, which I thought I never would. Cathy is professional and experienced and I found it interesting learning about the brain and why and how the change happens.

Great surroundings and really a worthwhile experience. Going back for another session.
