Welcome to
Brainwaves Hypnotherapy

Lovely relaxing therapy which has helped calm me through a particularly stressful year. Would highly recommend.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Helen over the course of several sessions to address my struggles with low mood and anxiety. From our very first meeting, I was struck by Helen’s warm and engaging presence. Her calming manner made it easy for me to feel at ease and open up about my challenges. Throughout our sessions, I have experienced a significant transformation in my ability to navigate overwhelming emotions. Previously, I often found myself holding back and overthinking various situations, which only added to my anxiety. However, thanks to Helen’s guidance, I now possess the tools to regulate my emotions effectively. I can recognize when my primitive mind tries to take control, allowing me to respond thoughtfully rather than react impulsively. As a result of our work together, I have seen a marked improvement in my overall confidence, affecting all areas of my life. I now have a more positive outlook and no longer engage in self-sabotaging behaviours. I genuinely feel as though I’m an improved version of myself, and I owe much of this growth to Helen’s expertise and support. I wholeheartedly recommend Helen to anyone seeking to overcome emotional struggles. Her warmth, professionalism, and effective techniques have made all the difference in my journey toward emotional well-being. Thank you, Helen, for helping me become a better version of myself!

I’ve had a few sessions with Helen and her warm and friendly manner instantly puts you at ease. The hypnosis part is very relaxing I never want it to end. I would definitely recommend Helen if you are looking for a hypnotherapist.

I’ve suffered from anxiety for many years now. Looking back, it probably began with menopause and job loss. That’s behind me now, but the anxiety has remained. I’ve experienced all levels of it, from near panic to that persistent fear feeling that sits heavy inside. I see how low I was as well – negative thoughts relentlessly churned over and over in my head – I’m sure they followed me into my dreams. The first night using Helen’s hypnosis was gentle and refreshing – I slept through. As we progressed with each subsequent session, I saw how negativity had become such a part of me – sometimes with other people, probably more often than I’d dare admit, and always with myself. I didn’t want to carry on like this. I came to realise what I was doing and Helen helped me see, without blame or judgement, why this happens to us. Helen is kind, confident and professional – I smile now at how many times she must have nudged me back into focussing my attention during the sessions. It has been an up-and-down experience; I see how that’s part of it too and I am feeling better. Nights are, for the most part, undisturbed – or if I wake up now I go back to sleep quite quickly. I simply don’t have those hours of lying awake anymore – this has been wonderful and it feels so normal. Also, I no longer default to negative chatter, and I will take myself away from situations where I see I am at risk of being dragged into negative thinking. This is so good and has changed my daily life. I also know how easy it is to fall back; I find that keeping on using my recording regularly is important, and I want to say that if anyone is fortunate enough to find Helen, don’t give up.

I came to see Helen in the hope of trying to give up smoking. I was quite anxious and Helen was just fantastic. She talked me through it all and even did some sessions with me to begin with, to overcome my anxiety. I felt so relaxed with her, the whole process helped me in so many ways. Helen gave me some information to read and an MP3 to listen to. I listened to it every night for a week before I went back to see her. I had never slept as well as after listening to the MP3. It’s so relaxing and made me so calm. I never once made it to the end of the recording before I was snoring away. I was always sceptical about the smoking… I didn’t think I would be able to do it. I couldn’t see how it would work but I had tried everything else and I was desperate. On the day of the session, I went along and took my cigarettes and lighters with me … I was very nervous and apprehensive about it all. I didn’t want to fail again. Helen was great with me. She put me right at ease and after the session was complete, I went home leaving all my smoking paraphernalia there…and I’m so thrilled to report… I have never smoked a cigarette since!! I’m so grateful that nasty habit is out of my life. I feel like a big chain has gone from around my neck. I feel happier in so many ways, it’s just amazing! I still use the recording that Helen gave me whenever I’m restless when I go to bed as it always gets me to sleep. I don’t know what it is about Helen’s voice but I don’t think I get more than 10 minutes in before I’m fast asleep. I can’t recommend Helen’s Hypnotherapy enough. It has helped me in ways I didn’t think possible. I went along for the smoking but I got so much more out of it than that. My anxiety has improved, my sleep is better and I’ve just never felt better!!!

Helen called me at a prearranged time and assured me that she felt hypnotherapy would be a suitable therapy to treat my phobia. She explained at length what the process would entail and detailed that the desensitisation process would be complete in 4 sessions. Helen then set up 4 Zoom sessions and made sure I was happy with what would happen during each session. At the start of each of the 4 sessions Helen recapped what we would cover and asked if I was okay with the process. The sessions covered the structure and function of the brain, and discussed the existence of a phobia template which had been reinforced over many years resulting in my panic reaction to any encounters with rats and mice. This template would be removed in session 3, and replaced with a template of my own design in session 4. The Zoom sessions were supported by a relaxation Audio track which Helen suggested I listen to each night before I went to sleep. The audio was completely relaxing and I never got to the end of it without me falling asleep! After the final session I was happy to report back to Helen that I’d had an encounter with a rat in the garden which passed off without me panicking and running away! The hypnotherapy definitely did its job. Helen was professional and respectful throughout our sessions and I would recommend her to anyone.

Helen has supported me through a very difficult time. She is warm and friendly but professional. Weekly sessions with Helen have helped me to work through my anxiety and it didn’t take long at all to start seeing improvements. I cannot recommend highly enough and would not hesitate to return in the future.

I started my hypnotherapy sessions with Helen being borderline terrified to get in my car and drive. It seemed simple to get in and drive, but I just couldn’t- whenever I sat in the car, all I could think of was crashing and possibly hurting someone. However, I wanted to get past the fear, I needed to for this new job opportunity. Helen has genuinely performed a miracle, and I have driven around the area feeling calm and relaxed. Thank you, Helen, you truly are amazing at what you do.
