I can confidently say that Katie has been so supportive over the last ten sessions I have had with her. For many years, I had terrible self-esteem and a negative outlook on life. I would always tell myself, “I am good enough,” “People don’t like me,” or “I would never achieve much in life”. These crippling thoughts constantly kept me up at night and prevented me from enjoying things in life, like going to school & university, talking to people, or even learning how to drive. I never understood why I felt how I felt and never pictured myself getting to a better place if I am honest. When I had my first free consultation with Katie, she instantly put me at ease and explained my thoughts in a way that made so much sense. Over the next ten sessions I had with her, Katie encouraged me to not dwell on the past and work towards being my ideal self. She set me homework to 1) note at least five positive things that I had done or achieved every day and 2) listen to a sleep track every evening. It was tricky initially, but it made me sleep better, think positively, & empty my overflowing stress/anxiety bucket. I feel more confident, and I am a lot kinder to myself. I am focusing more on the good things in my life, which has made me feel so much better. Thank you, Katie, for being so wonderful and helping me when I felt like I had little to no hope.

‘Back to feeling like me again’
I had sessions with Katie after lockdown took it’s toll. I was struggling to sleep, everything was upside down and I felt like I’d lost my mojo. I also wanted to sort out a few things that were niggling away in my head. I’m quite resilient generally but I felt that it was time to call upon someone that could help me to step back and focus on making positive changes both physically and emotionally. I do it all the time at work – bring in the professionals when you need them – so why not do it for your own wellbeing? I liked Katie’s scientific approach and the focus on solutions / positive actions for change. Simple techniques that I now apply each day have made a huge difference. I’m now back to feeling like ‘me’ again – more confidence in myself, more focus and am sleeping well for the first time in years. If you want some help getting your mojo back, talk to Katie.
‘Sessions with Katie have helped me out massively’
Sessions with Katie have helped me out massively. I went to her as an anxious mess and over the weeks she has slowly managed to get me out of that mind frame and thinking positively. The sessions are varied and not always the same which I really like, would highly recommend.
‘Sleeping again and back to my old self’
I don’t actually know where to start with this lovely lady. Throughout lockdown I developed the worst insomnia. I was confused, upset and frustrated. I am never a depressed kind of person but I really struggled, no mater how many sleep hygiene tips I read I couldn’t get to sleep. Someone asked me if I had considered hypnotherapy as it was becoming a big obsession – I would wake up after a shocking night’s sleep sometimes not even sleeping at all to the worry I wouldn’t be able to sleep again and I got myself into a really low place. I found Katie and went for her free consultation – instantly she made me feel at ease, I told her my issues and she explained everything so well as to why this was happening. Finally, after 5 months I felt like I understood my brain. After 6 sessions with Katie I am now sleeping again and back to my old self. She is absolutely incredible at what she does, I still can’t believe I am “normal” again. Her level of care and detail is second to none. if I ever struggle with anything like this again or anxiety/depression I shall be returning without a second thought. Katie thank you so much for everything you really have changed my life. Book in with this lovely lady you won’t be disappointed.
‘Would definitely recommend’
I started Songbird Hypnotherapy sessions as my anxiety was taking over and impacting my job, personal life and my desire to have a family. Since I started the sessions I have gained the confidence to get a promotion at work and am now pregnant and looking forward to the future. Would definitely recommend.
‘Has honestly changed my life!’
I started hypnotherapy with Katie wanting to focus on weight loss. I have always been obese and never quite got to the root cause of why (obviously I knew I was eating too much!). Working with Katie I now understand my triggers and how to avoid these, whilst also making rational food choices, something I have never been able to do before. Our sessions have honestly changed my life and throughout I have managed to lose around 2 stone, which I never thought I would do, whilst still eating healthy balanced meals. Katie’s techniques don’t focus on food or calorie counting so if you want to try a different way to lose weight then contact her as you really won’t be disappointed.
‘Feeling more like myself again’
I’ve just finished 6 sessions with Katie which have left me feeling energised and more like myself again. I had gone to see her after noticing I wasn’t sleeping well, which is a sign that I’m stressed. Katie helped me to remember what helps me to feel less stressed and to look at ways I can add to my usual routine. I am now sleeping much better, which is helping me to look at things in a different way and feel less overwhelmed.
‘So happy with the results!’
After my sessions with Katie I began to think more rationally, my thoughts became way more positive and I started to feel a lot better in myself and found that my bad habits were gradually going. Would definitely recommend! I was made to feel extremely comfortable and at ease during sessions, I’m so happy with the results and would definitely come back if I ever felt I needed to.
‘My life has completely changed’
I’ve been struggling with my mental health since I was a teenager. When I went to Katie I was at one of the lowest points of my life. My anxiety was sky high and I hadn’t left the house by myself in months. I was very irrational and had formed many unhealthy coping mechanisms. My relationship with alcohol and food was really negative and I had zero confidence. To be very honest, I was hopeless and thought it was never going to get better.
Katie was recommended by my mum, because she didn’t focus on the negatives. Katie made me think about the positives of everyday and how I can better myself. It was hard at first to see the positives and I was sceptical of hypnotherapy. However, I’ve kept going and it’s been the best decision of my life.
Since seeing Katie my life and the way that I think has completely changed. I’ve learnt to take a break and be kind to myself. To take little steps instead of big ones. That I cannot change the past or predict the future, so to live for today.
I feel confident in myself and finally in control of my life. I don’t think twice about leaving the house anymore and feel less anxious about going into new experiences. I’ve stopped using alcohol as a way to cope and improved my relationship with food, losing 3 stone in the process. I no longer see the world as this big bad place anymore. I’m starting to see the positives in everyday. All of my unhealthy coping mechanisms have turned into healthy ones and I’m so excited to keep growing.
Thank you so much Katie! I couldn’t have gotten here without you!
