For such a long time I was stressed out and anxious – it started to affect every single day of my life. I sought help through my GP, but medication and breathing exercises only get you so far when you’re really struggling. I knew I wasn’t supposed to be this way but I couldn’t seem to shake my anxiety, so I started to investigate alternative ways to manage it and came across hypnotherapy. I was sceptical at first, but nothing ventured nothing gained… and I’m so glad I did! It’s hard to put into words but I somehow feel like I’ve found the real me and after only a few sessions I feel like I can manage my anxiety much more easily, which is such a massive deal to me. If you’re at that point trying to decide if it’s for you or not give it a try because if it helps, then like me you’ll be wondering why you didn’t try it a lot sooner.

A while ago, I embarked on what turned out to be a monumental 6 month charity challenge that would change me forever – in far more ways than I ever anticipated.

Approximately two thirds of the way through this challenge, with all my injuries mounting up, I was exhausted both physically and mentally, and it’s fair to say that all the fun had disappeared from what I had set out to do. Whilst I didn’t talk about not enjoying openly, Linda spotted it and reached out.

At first, I was reluctant to accept Linda’s help as I didn’t want it to impact on SanaMente, but she very quickly gave me a telling me off and said something to me that I think will stick with me forever and that was “just be kind to yourself and let me help”.

I accepted Linda’s offer and it was the best thing I ever did. I was introduced to the amazing Clare who once a week for the next 5 or 6 weeks, sat me down and began the process of resetting me – in more ways than one!

It turned out to be more than just the charity challenge for Clare. She has helped me in so many different ways that I never knew I could actually be helped with, and things I had never talked about to anyone – ever!

Of course, I still have the pain from the challenge, but now I have the ability to ‘flick the switch’ and make it all go away! So, I am pleased to say I am now back in the zone and pushing on every day with a huge smile on my face.

At the beginning, this was supposed to be all about helping me enjoy the challenge again, but it’s turned out to be so much more – I now have the tricks and the tools to deal with absolutely ANYTHING thrown at me and it is all thanks to Linda and her amazing team.

Linda, I cannot believe the difference you guys have made over the last 5 or 6 weeks. I am a totally different person. I genuinely can’t thank you, Clare and the girls enough for the way you have looked after me and welcomed me in, I cannot recommend all you guys do highly enough, thank you so so much.

Lastly, If I could give you all anyone one piece of advice from my experience over the last month or so it’s….

Be kind to yourself!

If you should find yourself reading this and you have any doubts about anything at all – give Linda and her amazing team a call, it will change your life forever!

Recently a member of my family was not in a good place, unable to break out of a cycle of anxiety and worry about their health. This was despite obtaining professional medical help which had confirmed that they didn’t have a physical health condition.

It was not easy seeing a loved one in floods of tears and not have the means to help them, so I feel very fortunate to have you as a trusted business contact and able to turn to you for support.

You were able to see them at short notice and to provide expert support and therapy in a professional and non-judgemental way, preventing an escalation of the issue, to the extent that you helped them make a lasting change and to get them to a better place after just a few sessions.

In closing I would like to offer you our sincere thanks as I genuinely fear where we might have ended up without your intervention. I would not hesitate to recommend you, and the team at SanaMente, to anyone needing some help and support with their wellbeing or health.

I joined SanaMente slimmer’s for the second time about 6 weeks ago now. I have found the sessions run by Clare really relaxing which makes a massive difference to my week. The group itself is so supportive and the hints and tips given have had a huge impact on my eating habits and the way I think about food.

I now think and question every decision I make about food. It is fantastic that I am allowed to eat whatever I want while still losing the weight. My water intake has completely changed due to SanaMente slimmer’s and Clare.

I will have no hesitation in recommending SanaMente slimmer’s to anyone who wants to lose weight or change their eating habits. Finally a massive thank you from me to Clare and yourself.

I signed up for SanaMente Slimmers – it was such a great decision as I wouldn’t have been able to lose the weight I did without the group. It’s great to have other people to bounce ideas off and help each other achieve our goals. For me personally, the accountability is what helps as without it I wouldn’t be as motivated. I can honestly say I wouldn’t have lost 10lbs in 8 weeks without it.

Having been a serial dieter for as long as I can remember, but still looking for the holy grail, I was fed up with counting calories, macros, points and ‘sins’ which seemed to be taking over my every waking moment. I had become a slave to the ‘diet’ and the dreaded scales were not my friend!! I decided it was time for a new approach, well nothing was working so what did I have to lose?

A friend told me about SanaMente Slimmers and I liked the sound of it, understanding more about my own relationship with food and how to control it, for the better.

Clare, who’s a qualified Clinical Hypnotherapist, runs the group and quickly put me at ease, explaining firstly about the reasons why people can so easily get caught with a ‘diet’ mindset that keeps us going back again & again.

I loved the friendly group approach and even though this was over a Zoom call (due to Covid restrictions) Clare led a wonderful relaxing hypnosis session, a recording of which I can listen to on a daily basis.

In a short space of time, I’ve already noticed that I’m aware, but not worrying about food. I’m learning how to listen to the right signals and take the right action… it feels good, I feel good and I’m excited to see where this will take me.

I came to Clare having suffering from driving anxiety which had reached a point that it was seriously impacting on my quality of life. I was dubious as to whether anything would work as I had tried numerous self help avenues.
It was amazing. I felt empowered and lifted even after the first session. The techniques used as part of the sessions are something I can and do use forever. I feel like the demon is back in the box. Sadly due to covid there hasn’t been opportunity to drive long distances. The fact that I’m excitedly planning trips without that sick feeling is a breakthrough in itself. I cannot recommend this place too highly. Clare changed my life! If you are unsure, don’t be. Set up a meeting and change your life too.

I walked in a broken man due to anxiety, severe panic attacks, uncontrollable stress levels and powerful over thinking. I had 5 sessions with Clare and followed the recordings she sent me each week – I did them morning and night without fail and sometimes during the day too. After 5 sessions, I walked away a different person, more at ease, happier and finally remembered what a smile felt like. Even a member of staff in the office I only had brief encounters with noticed the change in me on week 4.

On the 1st session my brain was fighting the hypnotherapy, I was struggling to relax myself and let myself go. After the 1st session I would say it’s important to practice the recordings Clare will give you and as time goes on you will be a lot more at ease and start to look forward to doing them. I would strongly recommend using Clare for any problems you are having.

I was going through what I can honestly say was the most traumatic and testing time of my life, I had severe anxiety, probably PTSD, and was in a constant state of panic. I knew I needed help to get back to my usual confident and happy state of being, but just didn’t know how to do this myself. I decided to try hypnotherapy as a friend of mine had reaped the benefits of the therapy too, so I contacted SanaMente and received a call back immediately from Clare. The moment I spoke to her I instantly knew she was the right person with whom I could talk openly, gaining an immediate sense of trust, so I scheduled an appointment to visit the practice for my first session. Clare is a very warm, open, relaxed person so I was able to discuss my fears and anxiety very freely. After the consultation I went straight into a hypnotherapy session, the first biggest step of my recovery. It was the best thing I could have done to begin my journey of healing as the results were instant, even after the first session I felt so much better that I was surprised at how quickly I felt calm and my anxiety had hugely reduced. I went back to Clare for a few more sessions, plus she provided me with recordings that I could listen to at home. By the 3/4 session I felt much better and decided that I didn’t need anymore for the time being.

I can’t recommend Clare enough, she is a very talented professional who’s nature and personality will make anyone feel at ease. I feel very lucky to have met her as she had helped me to heal and build the strength I needed to get back to being me.

I was very worried about Jack before I got in touch with SanaMente and am delighted to be able to say that the sessions with Clare have made a massive difference to him. He is back to his old self … motivated, energised and enthusiastic.

I am truly amazed at the impact Clare has had on Jack and I would be very happy to recommend Clare and SanaMente to others needing a little bit of extra help

I have been struggling with my anxiety recently due to the lockdown situation. I was worrying about leaving the house and getting back to work. I thought that I was doing ok and I could sort out my feelings on my own, but I was wrong. I had my appointments with Clare via Zoom and it has made a huge difference to how I feel – much more relaxed and calm which was very much needed.

I would highly recommend Clare and all of the SanaMente team – from start to finish they have been friendly, professional and extremely helpful.

I’d never considered Hypnotherapy before but was recommended SanaMente, so decided to book a course with Clare back in January.
The sessions were really helpful, very relaxing and have enhanced my life without doubt! I would really recommend Clare – easy to chat to – a lovely person as well as very professional.

I really enjoyed the SanaMente Group. It’s helped me to change my relationship and mindset with food so much, that it’s now a way of life. I’ve also reduced in size and weight, which has increased my confidence.

I have found SanaMente Slimmers to work perfectly for me. The weekly meetings keep my cravings in check and keep me focussed through the week. They also address any issues that I may have, like emotional eating. They are also very educational. I would definitely recommend Clare to others who are feeling stuck losing those extra pounds.

I’m now in my third 8-week journey with SanaMente Slimmers and have reduced my weight by over a stone. To me it’s not all about reducing my weight it’s about having a platform to change habits. It’s about talking to people about the similar eating or health issues we have and realising you’re not alone, and that making small changes and breaking habits will change how you see yourself and how you can achieve the person you want to be, inside and out. It’s also helped reduce my stress and anxiety and promote my own wellbeing. I needed a program that allowed me to make changes long term and not just a short fix and I found this was the perfect group for me.

I have just had an excellent online relaxation session with Linda. Her experience and expertise helped me to calm my mind for the first time in 2 weeks!
With everything going on, as a small business, I am very worried and uncertain on what will happen in the coming weeks and months. This was well needed and very welcome!

I have absolutely loved working with Linda and recommend her and hypnotherapy to everyone. I had tried mindfulness to relax and keep my head clear but it was hard work compared to hypnotherapy. I was amazed at how quickly my head learnt to create space to be able to systematically deal with big and small anxieties. I hadn’t realised that I was even stressed until I realised how much easier everything was after hypnotherapy. And it lasts – over my time working with Linda I’ve learnt from her amazing well rounded experience and insight (and without any effort on my part) to be able to keep a clear head so that I feel that I can not only cope but excel in any situation. I can not recommend SanaMente enough.

I wanted to say thank you for all of your support so far on my journey to being at one with myself.

Although I still feel at the beginning of this journey you have already helped me in so many ways. Learning different coping mechanisms, letting go and supporting me to deal with day to day life.

Already as I approach one of my usual trigger times of year, my stress and anxiety levels are lower than they have ever been. I am able to recognise different emotions, take time out and re-focus. Being equipped with the right tools to deal with whatever may occur.

Thank you not only from myself but also for the ongoing service and support you have provided to both colleagues and clients alike.

I have been suffering with a very painful bout of sciatica for the past 3 weeks. I cannot lie, when you mentioned about hypnosis I was a little skeptical of whether you would be able to put me under, how wrong was I! Within a count of 10 I drifted into a coherent but fully relaxed state of mind and although you were very clear that the treatment would not cure me, the relaxation methods you provided have very much helped alongside my other treatments.

I have been able to make more decisive decisions in a variety of areas that were affecting my life. This has lifted a large weight off of my shoulders and impacted on both my business and personal life.

I would like to thank Linda for her help with my son when he was experiencing some anxiety and could not sleep on his own. Linda was confident that she could help and this was so encouraging. My son was immediately reassured and put at his ease by Linda’s gentle and kind manner.

I have no hesitation in recommending Linda. I wish we had seen her ages ago!

Linda was recommended to me to help with my anxiety. As a family we had had a difficult few years with my Mum’s deteriorating health and then her death at the end of 2018. I was badly affected, whilst trying to cope with this and run my business and support other family members. I have learnt a huge amount from Linda and now have some great coping strategies to help me not only at this time but for the rest of my life. This is not hypnotherapy as you see on the stage. Linda is kind and understanding, supportive and calm. I can’t thank her enough. It goes without saying that I would highly recommend her to anyone.

I have experienced incredible results through my work with Linda and would highly recommend the sessions. As soon as I met Linda I felt at ease and that she understood the issues I was having. I look forward to my sessions and always leave inspired and motivated to make the changes I need to and face the challenges ahead. Linda has helped me to see things more clearly and has inspired me to make changes that seemed impossible before I met her.

I took my son to see Linda as there was a lot going on in his life, he was unsettled and was using anger to express his feelings.

Seeing Linda just chilled and sorted him out completely. Its like magic, I can’t explain it. I would definitely recommend hypnotherapy and Linda to anyone.

I signed up for hypnotherapy after suffering for years with stress and anxiety. I would never fully commit to anything as I was afraid it would raise my anxiety levels and I would have a panic attack. Linda and her team have worked miracles. I am so much more confident and no longer feel I need to hold back in any area of my life.

I will be the first to admit that was I was a bit sceptical about hypnotherapy, however after the first appointment with Kris I could tell that I was improving. Kris was very professional and made me feel comfortable and relaxed in every session. I’ve suffered from anxiety problems and panic attacks and am pleased to say that they have completely stopped and for that I can’t thank Kris enough.

For a long time I have struggled with high levels of anxiety around school, exams, friendships and other people. Linda helped me over a few weeks to be more at ease with myself and to be calmer in stressful situations. I am really grateful for how she has helped me, and her help has lowered my anxiety level a lot. Although sometimes I still let my worries get the better of me, I now feel so much more ready to face my exams in the Summer and with many new pressures that will arise in the future. I thank Linda for that.

If your car is broken you call a mechanic, if your heating is on the blink you call a tradesman, so if you have a problem yourself why not call for someone to help you. Linda is a warm, caring person whose goal is to help you solve your problem and she will support you all the way. Trust me you won’t regret it, she will sort it. Every journey starts with the first step so go on take that first step after all, what have you got to lose!

I heard about how great Linda was through a friend at work and I thought it might benefit me with some personal challenges I had at the time.  As soon as I spoke to Linda I felt comfortable and confident she would be able to help. After the few sessions I had, I felt more energised, relaxed and felt my issues were no more.  

I would highly recommend Linda for anything small or large that is a mental challenge in anybody’s life.

I had a stroke in April 2015 and suffered with depression.  I was given Linda’s number and told I should give hypnotherapy a go.  Linda has really helped me and I can’t recommend her enough.  You should definitely give hypnotherapy a go, even if you’re sceptical.

I’m open to anything that will give me an edge in business and talking to Linda and using hypnotherapy has certainly helped me massively. I just feel better, more confident, happier. And I’m amazed at how well Linda “gets” business. All in all, it’s a gift, it’s super, thank you Linda.

Working with Linda has been life changing, it’s amazing how much she has helped me to turn my home life around and my work life. I always feel so uplifted after a session and I look forward to my sessions.

I first came to Linda in a very desperate and vulnerable state. I was in pain and had no idea how to deal with this. Linda guided me through this patiently. She listened, soothed and understood without any judgement. I felt safe and calmer. Linda is such a warm and wonderful woman who has helped me to put my life back together. I can’t thank her enough for all her help.

I visited Linda after a developing a teeth-grinding habit over numerous years, I constantly had to buy guards which was costing so much money. I decided to give hypnotherapy a go, I wanted to ensure I was in safe hands, so Linda was a no brainier with her extensive background.

I went for a few sessions in a calm and relaxing environment and had recordings to listen to in between, I am pleased to say I have not had to buy another guard since!

I was quite sceptical regarding hypnotherapy but I had two sessions with Linda and the result was quite astounding. The coping mechanism that I was taught has proved invaluable.

My misconception about hypnotherapy was that it was something that was done to you, and that it may leave unwanted triggers in your mind. This is not the case. What Linda offers is not a gimmick, with her medical background her purpose and manner are sincere and caring. She helps people overcome habits and issues. After an initial consultation, Linda created a bespoke course of treatment for me. I always felt that I was in control of the process, with Linda helping me to achieve my goals. Linda and I spent time discussing what I wanted to achieve, how I had or hadn’t made progress and what we could do next. I can sincerely recommend Linda’s approach for taking control of your habits and generally feeling more positive about life.

I thought I’d try hypnotherapy with a slightly sceptical (part of my problem) but open mind, to try and give my battered confidence a bit of a boost. After four sessions with Linda, not only has my confidence greatly improved, but I now also have a far more positive happier outlook on life. Thanks Linda.

Sometimes you think that you know the problem, I thought mine was I wanted to lose weight?? What I really needed was to take control of my life and get all areas in order. Linda helped me to find ways to exercise more and eat healthier. After 5 sessions I have so much energy, I am eating better, sleeping well and exercising every day. I am someone who always thought I was in control and now thanks to Linda I really am!!

I was going through a difficult time both personally and professionally so had been recommended Linda by a friend who had been to see her. 

To be honest I was very sceptical at first, but I knew I had to give it a try before going down the medication route, and I’m so very glad I did. 

I’ve benefited massively from hypnotherapy and can’t thank Linda enough. Her calm, warm yet professional approach to our sessions has helped me changed my mind-set about my anxiety completely. Her sessions left me feeling so relaxed and clear-headed.

Hypnotherapy has so many benefits, that it’s definitely worth a try.
