‘Biggest spider I’ve ever dealt with by far!’

I had worse than a fear of spiders to be honest. I had full blown arachnophobia. I had nightmares about them most nights, had invasive thoughts during the day, couldn’t use our bath (would only shower instead so I could get out quick if one appeared) and had a breakdown last year where I nearly left home because I genuinely believed we had an infestation (we didn’t)!
Exposure therapy didn’t work and citalopram took the edge off but it wasn’t until Katie helped me that I have finally got to the point of dealing with them!
When I went to get on a zoom call earlier there was a whopper of a spider on the wall. I caught it with my new spider catcher and it sat next to me throughout the meeting until I then released it outside. Biggest spider I’ve ever dealt with by far. If it’d been 6 months ago I would have had to conduct the zoom call elsewhere, would have felt physically sick and become really teary.
Thank you Katie!!

‘I’m undertaking things that I never thought possible!’

Katie helped to bring the real me back, in fact I’m ‘better’ now than I have been in ten years- truly the best version of myself. I am fearless, I have coping mechanisms when thoughts may occasionally start to spiral, and I’m undertaking things that I never thought possible. I can’t thank her enough! She works clinically, and I love that- my graph of progress that we review each week went from 2/10 ‘unhappy’ to 10/10 better than I’ve been in years in a few short enjoyable sessions. What was great for me was that the sessions are positive and instantly helpful- not about focusing on the past! I couldn’t recommend her more highly!

‘I would not hesitate in recommending both Katie and hypnotherapy to a friend.’

I decided to try hypnotherapy with Katie as I have always struggled with insomnia and anxiety. In my initial consultation Katie explained how our brains work, why we feel stress and anxiety and how future sessions were going to work. Even after this first session I began to understand how and why I felt the way I did and this was such a relief. Katie has helped me to understand my feelings and thought processes and this in turn has helped me to make progress in addressing my sleep and anxiety problems. Katie is calm and reassuring, you can tell she genuinely loves what she does and in turn this makes you feel at ease from the beginning. I would not hesitate in recommending both Katie and hypnotherapy to a friend.

‘Helped myself and my family through the worst time of our lives.’

Due to 2020, having covid myself, the loss of my Grandad and Uncle and dealing with being a single Mum to two crazy boys I decided it was time I needed a few sessions with the amazingly talented Songbird Hypnotherapy. She has helped myself and my family through the worst time of our lives so far and for that I will be forever grateful.

‘Hypnotherapy has absolutely worked for me’

I have known Katie for a few years so I felt comfortable to approach her when I needed some support as I was suffering with anxiety and bad sleeping habits.

Katie has given me tools to improve my sleeping pattern which has made a huge difference to my mindset and how I approach lots of different areas in my life.

Hypnotherapy has absolutely worked for me and I would recommend Katie to anyone who feels they need some form of help/support. Katie is so warm and friendly that it makes her sessions very comfortable and relaxed.

‘I found myself’

Katie was recommended to me by a friend who had attended her sessions. I wasn’t really sure what to expect having never spoken to anyone, apart from a couple of friends, about my lack of love for myself.

 

I attended four  sessions during lockdown via zoom which I found very relaxing. I found Katie very calm, soothing, non judgemental and easy to talk to. She helped me concentrate on the positives and she asked questions that made me question why I was acting in certain ways and who I was doing it for. Katie lead me to question what made me happy and feel good about myself. I stopped comparing myself to other people, stopped judging other people and concentrated on the positives.

 

One of the things Katie asked me to do was write a list of the things that made me happy/smile. These could be anything from hearing the birds sing to laughing at something I heard/read. This is something I will continue to do.Another thing I will continue to do is listen to the tapes thatKatie sent me. I may even get to the end of one without falling asleep!

 

When asked what I did in lockdown I can say I found myself.

If you need help or guidance give Katie a try, what do you have to lose?
