Phobias

Dental Phobia

I have suffered a severe phobia of the dentist since the age of about 6 and after many anxieties, I thought it was time to address my fears.

Through a recommendation of a friend’s success with Philippa, I decided to give hypnotherapy a try. After 2 sessions with Philippa, I have worked through my fears of the dentist and addressed some other issues.

Hypnotherapy has completed worked for me, Philippa’s kind and caring nature has produced results I thought unachievable.

I cannot thank her enough and can say without hesitation hypnotherapy has addressed my fears and I feel a calmer and confident person.

Fear of Heights

I asked Philippa to help me overcome my fear of heights for an up and coming family ski holiday. I recognised I would never be great but because of my phobia, previous holidays were filled with anxiety.

Philippa put me at ease and despite being mildly sceptical I did relax. I was fully relaxed but aware of everything being said and also given a relaxation recording to follow up my session.

The holiday was a great success, still rubbish skier! But could laugh at myself. Enjoyed the ski lifts more than in previous years. Last week I surprised myself by enjoying a coastal walk, with some cliff edges. I was aware of the danger but recognised I was not in danger.

I would recommend hypnotherapy as it rationalises the irrational.

Fear of Flying

I was recommended by a friend to visit Philippa last July as I was struggling to book an overseas holiday. With a large degree of cynicism, I agreed to an initial 90-minute session with Philippa as I couldn’t logically understand how this could assist with my fear of flying.

How wrong I was.

An hour and a half later, I was brought out of a deep trance and advised that I needed no more sessions, however, I was told not to discuss anything of the session until the following day (i.e. sleep on it)

I did this and lo and behold the nagging doubts around flying has gone from my head. A holiday was booked to Portugal. I am going to Portugal again this year in July and September – so much easier than driving to the South of France.

I have already recommended Philippa’s service to a few friends and colleagues.

Regards,

Brian

Bereavement

I saw Philippa for hypnotherapy in relation to a bereavement issue. She was kind, genuine and truly understanding. She helped me piece together the problem, understand it and move forward. It wasn’t complicated, or judgemental and such a helpful process. I felt comfortable at all times and can’t thank her enough for helping me to make some really significant changes in my life without realising! The unconscious mind is amazing. I would recommend her to any family member or friend.

Thank you

Public Speaking

I had 2 very successful hypnotherapy sessions with Philippa and I was surprised by how subtle yet effective this was in helping me with a long-standing issue of public speaking.

Philippa’s friendly and calm manner quickly put me at ease and she gave a good explanation as to how hypnotherapy works and what would happen in the session.

I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her to family or friends in the future.

Thanks again for your help.

Weight Reduction

If you want to change your like talk to Philippa, She’s certainly changed mine for the better. Having struggled with my weight for years a couple of sessions gave me the motivation to try again. No diets this time just a picture of what I wanted for me and what success would look like.

I’ve reduced my weight by over 3 stone and it’s been so easy and more importantly this time it will stay off. I am truly grateful to Philippa and would recommend that whatever the problem you want to talk to her.

One very happy size 12.

Agoraphobia

I first came into contact with Philippa after about 44 years of suffering from agoraphobia and associated social phobias. I had managed to suppress and control the problem with alcohol and prescription medication, 3 spells in psychiatric hospitals and 9 years on Prozac but the agoraphobia would not go away.

Philippa came as being an extremely competent hypnotherapist, she had experience of agoraphobia from her solid background in mental health. I could rarely leave my home and was completely dependent on others for my day to day existence. After two sessions of hypnotherapy, I could leave the safety of my own home and go out, shopping for my own food which previously had been an impossible and nightmare experience.

Several months later I am now 90% independent and in control of my life again, whatever I want to do is now possible. No fear, panic and full confidence. I am still building up my self-esteem and self-worth but after 44 years of fear and self-doubt, that’s only to be expected.

Philippa Gallagher in 7 months has turned my life around, she has given back to me my freedom and independence, without sounding ‘over the top’ without Philippa’s help and support I would not have the life, freedom, independence and ‘looking forward to the future’ that I have now. Thank you, Philippa.
