Client Reviews

Disclaimer: Some people respond better to hypnosis than others. No hypnotherapist can guarantee 100% success with every single client.

I am a different person today because of Sara’s expertise.  Her wealth and breadth of knowledge, coupled with her friendly reassuring manner instantly puts you at ease and fills you with confidence that you are completely safe in her hands and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

- John

Sara put me at ease from our first meeting; she explained what would happen in the sessions and explained the different techniques as we went along. I didn’t feel able to approach my GP for a referral so paid privately but it was definitely money well spent and I wish I had done it years ago. Thank you Sara, I am so grateful for your help.

- Mark

I just wanted to say a massive thank you for all your help, time and guidance over the last few years. It’s really made a huge difference and helped me feel much more confident and able to live a really fulfilled life, and hopefully be good dad along the way too! Love and best wishes Christian

I would highly recommend hypnosis sessions with Sara. I have given up a 20-a-day habit with stop smoking sessions. So far I have saved over a £1000 by quitting smoking, so the sessions are tremendous value! Sara makes you feel very relaxed, and it is such a positive experience all round.

- Mohamed

After struggling by each and everyday with a phobia that was slowly overtaking my life, I decided to contact Sara to see if she could help me - and wow! the difference she has made to me is amazing! Previous anxieties seemed to just fade away and everything now seems clearer and so much easier to face. I cannot thank Sara enough and will be definitely be recommending her.

- Nina

I just wanted to thank you for your help prior to my recent operation.  Despite the worst case scenario of on the day being told I'd be in for 2-5 days (instead of 24hrs!) and being the last patient down of the day (arrived at 7am as asked - not in theatre until 3pm!) I didn't panic at all! I've taken everything in my stride and even my husband is impressed (and that's saying something!) I'm continuing to listen to my CD's and feeling better all the time. 

- Jackie

After trying to cope with a phobia/anxiety for all of my adult life, 50 years, I sought help from Sara.  Sara made me feel relaxed and welcome from my very first visit, I also knew she took my fears seriously.  After several sessions I cannot believe how my life has changed for the better, I feel excited about life and the future and get so much more out of every day.   Words cannot express how grateful I am, thank you Sara.

- Heather

Thank you for the one hour stress management treatment you gave me. I know now how to control my levels of stress and feel great not to have that nagging worrying voice and I do really look forward to playing my tape when I get home from a busy day. I will continue to recommend people to see you as my results are just great. Mandy from Narborough

I had panic attacks in public places and I couldn’t go anywhere…. After several sessions of hypnosis and Sara’s support it was as if something had just clicked into place and the panic had gone. I never thought I would get to this point but with Sara’s help I have made it, I hope this can help others see the light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you I couldn’t have done it without you”

- Shanaga

Thanks for sharing these wonderful tips. They are indeed very helpful to children who are still building trust with their experiences. A lot of adults too still have that dental anxiety that they need to overcome and they can use these tips to help them.

- Vinny

My sincere thanks to Sara for enabling the new pathway as I enter a new phase of my life. Initially it was about my poor sleep, but Sara's careful guidance and skill helped to discover the deeper issues that lay behind this... and "Don't feed the cat" has become a phrase that will stay with me.... I am now embarking on my new path with confidence and a smile on my face thanks to Sara.

- Martins

I am contacting you to say a huge thank you for all of your support when I received the cancer diagnosis. As you know I was absolutely terrified at the thought of chemotherapy. However, with you amazing help I sailed through it and all the treatments whilst I carried on working as well.

- Dawn

I came to see Sara because I wanted help with panic attacks and anxiety; I had had counselling over the years and tried many ways to help myself which had helped, but there was still a residue of anxiety which I could not shift.  This was eroding my confidence and stopping me from enjoying life and being truly positive.  

- Anne

First and foremost I want to say thank you so very much for all the help, advice and support you've given me with my constant battle with weight. At last I am in control not my appetite! The way I feel now is amazing. No more of that bloated sluggish feeling. I feel and look so much better and I've lost 2 stone in 10 weeks without really trying. 

- Jayne

Thank you so much for your help. My trip was so different and I'll be back for a top up.

- Katie

  • I started seeing Sara at the start off summer as I suffer with extreme anxiety and panic attacks I’ve had around about 10 sessions with her so far, I’m still going to continue with a few more she has really helped me come such a long way at the start of this year I wouldn’t even go to the shop with my mum without having a panic attack my life was rubbish I didn’t have one but I feel like I have my life back, I have now got myself a job and don’t worry much at all I still have bad days but nothing compared to what I used to have can’t thank Sara enough for what she has done for me would I deffo recommend her :)

    —Demi

  • I was suffering from a moderate depression, as per my GP, and with medication I was also advised to try a number of charitable organisations, which would have taken months to get a first appointment. I was presented, by my GP, with a private option of Hypnotherapy counselling with Sara Stevens, as she had come recommended. Having never tried hypnotherapy until my GP suggested it, I was at the point of a low and to be honest did not even have the energy to be sceptical and went into it with a mind that was neither open or closed. Having had only several sessions in less than 3 months, I can say that I feel like I am walking on the right path. I say this as, from what I can see, Hypnotherapy is not a quick fix, although there were some quick improvements, such as learning to relax and stay calm. We were talking about and running through suggestive thought adjustments, the easiest way of describing it is being picked up from the wrong path and encouraged to walk a different path, to avoiding triggers and situations that lower the mood and bring on depression. Sara also provided a number of tools in which to try in my own time, to help with my therapy and was not set on a regular consultation that would have lasted months and months and cost more money than I could afford. I would not think twice to return, if I felt I was straying from the new path and would recommend you try it as an alternative solution.

  • So, I'd like to start this off by saying how much my life has transformed over the time I’ve been seeing Sara. From a young man I’ve always been in the wrong side of the law whether it be taking drugs selling drugs and owning illegal dogs. I’d had times growing up when I felt cocaine became too much for me causing depression and breakdowns so id stop for a while but always return back to it. In 2014 I got sentenced to jail for 2 years where my ill father died whilst I was there. I got to attend his funeral but was never able to grieve properly. When I came home, I felt alone he was a massive part in my life. And he was gone. I took to using cocaine and alcohol more regularly approximately every other day in fact. Until I was an emotional wreck. I couldn't break this cycle alone and I knew it. I found sara by pure chance and she understood me and I knew instantly this was the help I needed. She's helped me experience journeys u simply couldn't dream of. I now understand myself in ways I didn’t see possible she has also left me with knowledge of understanding others so i can help loved ones in all sorts of life’s challenges. Sara hasn't just helped with my drug misuse but my family life and business is thriving because she's helped me become a much better version of myself. I’ve been clean for a year now and I am proud of myself and so are my family. Life's path will still be hard at times but I now have the credentials to cope and see things differently. If you feel like you need help ask for it because it’s the best decision, I’ve made to date you don’t need to do this alone

    —Declan

  • Following some life changing events over the last 18 months, I was struggling to cope with even the mundane pressures of everyday life, my confidence was eroded and I quite literally shut myself away from everyone. Sara worked at a pace that was dictated by my responses, never rushing and allowing me to make steady progress, slow at times but sometimes taking what felt like monumental steps forward. By far the strongest feeling that I came away with was that Sara guided me to seek my own answers and this gave me back the confidence to live the life I want, to face the setbacks along the way, and be the best I can be. I couldn't have asked for more!

    —JO

  • Sara gave me something no. doctors or medication could give me she gave me my life back I feel as if I have won the lottery and I have sara to thank for that I would seriously recommend her.

    —Hazel

  • Thank you for helping me feel the best I have ever felt !, I really appreciate your sessions, you treated me like a person rather than a client. I didn’t feel weird or ashamed asking for help which was a barrier in the past. I now feel much more in control in my life and now starting to make steps towards my long term goals. I now feel much better in myself and I can soothe my emotions rather than stuffing them down and avoiding them it’s like living in the light. Thank you again for all your time and support and may all of your clients that come your way feel as good as me.

    —Sara

  • I just want to thank you again for all of your help so far. You have helped me so much to look at things differently and you have taught me that every situation isn't a sales situation, and that I can be 'me' and don't have to feel like I have to hide my opinions in normal life. I think my mind was that scrambled up with pleasing everyone that I had lost who I was or even what I liked or disliked and without your help I don't think I ever would have seen that. The work you have done with me is truly amazing, because as you already know, and probably knew from the minute of meeting me, I will not/do not let my guard down easily. You have taught me to calm down, own who I am and actually live life, away from work. As said you really are fantastic at what you do, you don't judge, you didn't make me feel silly or embarrassed not even for a moment and for me, you gave me my life back and helped me remember who I truly am.

    —Rachel

  • I came to see Sara because I had a problem with blushing, I would go red all the time and it severely affected me. I was very skeptical of hypnotherapy but felt that I was prepared to try anything to stop blushing. I went for a few sessions and then used the CD's at home that Sara gave me, the other day I was thinking how my anxiety had practically gone and I hadn't even gone red even at times when I normally would. I didn't even realise it but the treatment has worked. I would definitely recommend to people who like me suffer with blushing. Thanks Sara.

    —Kirsty

  • I started to see Sara to try to help control my IBS but by the end of the consultation session Sara had found out that the real problem was my underlying anger issues. The smallest most insignificant thing would cause the red mist to drop, but after a number of sessions I began to see an improvement. By the end of my time seeing Sara, I am now able to fully control my anger and that I can now think before I react. This is something that I should have done years ago and it has totally changed my life. Sara, Thank You.

    —Dave

  • 5 months ago, Following some life changing events over the last 18 months, I was struggling to cope with even the mundane pressures of every day life, my confidence was eroded and I quite literally shut myself away from everyone. Sara worked at a pace that was dictated by my responses, never rushing and allowing me to make steady progress, slow at times but sometimes taking what felt like monumental steps forward. By far the strongest feeling that I came away with was that Sara guided me to seek my own answers and this gave me back the confidence to live the life I want, to face the set backs along the way, and be the best I can be. I couldn't have asked for more!

    —Joy

  • I had been suffering with quite severe insomnia for many years, sleeping little for several days in a row, and often waking very early. This was having an obvious negative impact in various areas of my life. Doctors had prescribed sleeping pills and made practical suggestions, but nothing really had helped. I approached Sara as a last resort, open minded, but also a little skeptical. After a few sessions it was clear that the hypnotherapy was having a strong positive effect, and I haven't had any major bouts of insomnia since. Its still fairly early days, but I feel confident about the future, and looking back the whole process makes sense even though it was at first mysterious. Many thanks Sara!

    —Dylan

  • Amazing results! Having suffered from a fear of heights for nearly 30 years, I was desperate for help to try and cure my fear before a planned trip of a lifetime to Las Vegas which involved a number of height related activities which I knew I would never be able to do. A friend recommended Sara to me, I was skeptical about hypnotherapy and couldn't understand how this could possibly work for me but felt it was worth a try. However after 5 sessions, I traveled to Las Vegas and was amazed and thrilled to find the hypnotherapy had been a complete success. I was able to do the Skywalk, The glass walkway over the Grand Canyon, the helicopter ride over the Canyon and Slotzilla, the Zipline 77 feet above Fremont Street with absolutely no feelings of fear whatsoever, I just felt a feeling of excitement and elation at being able to do these activities. Thank you Sara for your help and for now opening up so many more opportunities which I could never have dreamt about before the hypnotherapy. Thanks again

    —Mel

  • Many thanks for helping me become the confident person I always wanted to be. I was brilliant at the hearing and I am still amazed at how confident I felt, I walked into the room with no anxiety (I particularly thought the eye movement helped), my reading was clear and calm (almost BBC style!) I answered all the questions with confidence and even dealt with the defence barrister well and was very alert answering his awkward questions. The outcome is that the committee found me to be a credible witness and have found him guilty on all my complaints and is being reprimanded sufficiently. Once again many thanks, I still cannot believe it.

    —Angela

  • I can’t thank Sara Stevens enough for all she has done for my 14 year old son. He is now talking with confidence after 10 years of stammering. The results are amazing, he is hardly stammering at all now and at times he is completely fluent. We are absolutely delighted. My son needed just five sessions, but we could start to see results after just one. Sara was recommended to us and I would definitely recommend her too, we found her to be very understanding and professional.

    —Yvonne

  • Sara Stevens has changed my life...... and, yes Sara, I now find myself smiling for no reason. After decades when no one would listen, and when my GP (again) dismissed my fears saying you've reached your age without anything untoward happening to you, so carry on Sara's understanding and guidance has changed my life. I still believe the initial problem was physical (not a panic attack) but without any help from my GP it then turned into a major eating and drinking phobia. After several sessions, and with the continued use of Sara's relaxation CD’s, life gets better every day. I am so much more relaxed and looking forward to a happier future. The practice environment is first class, very professionally run, and Sara put me at ease very quickly on my first visit. Thank you Sara so much for changing my life.

    —Gali

  • We are so grateful to our GP for recommending us to Sara. After frequent visits to see him he said that my 15 yr old daughter was suffering from cancer phobia and it would really help to go and see Sara. My daughter was suffering from severe anxiety attacks brought on by the smallest ache or pain. She had a lot of time off school as she struggled to cope with the anxiety and stress. My husband and I were both quite skeptical about going down the hypnotherapy route as it was nothing we knew about but Sara has literally changed my daughter's life. I was able to sit in on all the sessions and could see the progress that was being made. We cannot express how grateful we are to Sara and have been so impressed that several members of the family have now been for a range of other issues all to great effect. Thank you Sara

    —Amanda

  • I just want to say a BIG THANK YOU to Sara; a family member suggested I saw Sara as she had had a positive outcome from her sessions. I was unsure how this treatment could actually help me. I was struggling emotionally with issues around fertility and miscarrying twice. I was already blessed with a beautiful boy however longed for another one. This was causing serious issues between my husband and me. I saw Sara over a few months I also used the CDs and still do. I went through very difficult and upsetting sessions but felt that I needed to do this in order to move forward. Further into my sessions Sara recommended I took Red Raspberry to support my hormones and fertility issues. I strongly believe the results from the sessions addressing the issues emotionally / mentally, the red raspberry and a healthy diet have been more than fantastic. My relationship with my husband improved dramatically, I no longer felt the anger and frustration. We agreed to try fertility treatment for one last time and to our total delight found out we did not need it as we were already pregnant. During my scans we were told I no longer had PCOS the reason why we had issues conceiving and a contributing factor in miscarrying. I had had this syndrome for the past 15 years and no longer had it. We are now 25 weeks pregnant and feel sooooo blessed to be in this situation again, I believe that if I had not been to see Sara and addressed my emotional block and taken the red raspberry I very possibly would not be in this situation, not just the pregnancy but feeling better in myself and within my marriage. I would strongly recommend (and have) anyone see Sara, it is expensive but well worth the cost. Thanks you Claire 20.2.13

  • I just wanted to let you know my progress and to say a huge thank you. Last month I had 3 sessions with you for my fear of flying. I was unsure whether my treatment had worked but last week I flew out to the Maldives on my honeymoon and had no fear. It was wonderful and for the first time I actually enjoyed the experience which I never thought possible. I am sure you have many success stories and I am definitely one of them. I cannot thank you enough for the treatment you gave me and for making a real difference in my life. I will highly recommend you in in the future.

  • Thank You Sara, my meeting was good, I was cool and calm and full of ideas with very little nerves. I could even say I quite enjoyed it. I feel like I’ve had an amazing transformation. Thanks for all your help. I’ll definitely recommend you to friends.

    —Linda

  • i just wanted to say a massive thank for the brilliant work that you have done with me over the last 6 month to put my life back on track. Somehow I found myself in a really bad place where anxiety had taken control of me and I knew I needed help. Thank god I didn't listen to my doctor who offered to put me on beater blockers! My Dad found you and I gave you a call. Just to hear you say don't worry I can help you with this was a massive relief, what you do is very special. I realised that you have to be very brave and face things head on when everything in your mind is telling you to do the exact opposite. I feel like I have come out the other side in a much stronger place and I'm going to use this as a chance to push on with my work life and my life in general. I had my 9th wedding anniversary in March and my wife put in my card that she was so please to have her husband back! Thanks again for everything, keep up your special work.

    —Guy

  • Just to let you know that since our last session nearly a month ago my diet has gone really well, I have stuck fast to the the health options and I am now used to smaller portions. I am so pleased to have still managed to lose weight without feeling that I going without little treats and I now feel confident in my ability to make the right choices. I can't thank you enough for putting me on the right track.
