Testimonials

Patsy Cain is an exceptionally professional, supportive, and effective hypnotherapist.  She helped me break through damaging patterns of behaviour that I had felt stuck in for a long time.  I deeply appreciated how she tailored her sessions to my personal needs – specifically adapting her techniques to accommodate my aphantasia (inability visualise).  Her assistance has completely shifted my thought process for the better, and I now feel much more positive in my relationship with food.  I cannot recommend her enough.

My 16 year old had weekly hypnotherapy with Patsy. She was gripped by chronic OCD, anxiety and emetophobia. She was housebound for about 6 months, out of school for 2 years and scared and avoiding most social contact. Patsy gently and thoughtfully had weekly sessions using different techniques to help her set small goals and focus on the positives mixed with calming techniques. 6 months on our daughter started to leave the house and go out again, 9-12 months later she is at college, has a social life back and life has transformed. Patsy’s regular, patient and calm interventions were an important part of our daughter rebuilding her life. Thoroughly recommend ♥️ EH

Gut-directed hypnotherapy with Patsy has had a life changing effect on our daughter. She had been experiencing stomach pain after eating following recovery from rumination syndrome, but thankfully after the gut-directed hypnotherapy sessions she is now able to enjoy eating pain free again. Patsy was able to make our daughter feel comfortable and the improvement achieved has gone beyond our expectations. Thank you, Patsy! (S Geoghegan)

After experiencing years of ongoing chronic pain which was getting worse, I finally decided to try an alternative therapy as there was nothing else that could be done for me using the usual strong prescription drugs and medical procedures.

Over a course of 8 or so hypnotherapy sessions with Patsy I have literally turned my life around. I still have the chronic pain but I now have the tools to help me cope and no longer feel that I am ruled by the limitations of my body. I have a completely different mindset compared to a few months ago and would never really have believed that some very simple techniques, taught to me by Patsy, could make such a difference.

I wish that I had seen Patsy years ago and would highly recommend anyone in a similar position to myself to contact her for help.

I thank her from the bottom of my heart for helping me to recover my life again and for giving me back hope.

Initially I was very sceptical that hypnotherapy would improve my IBS. I am an NHS consultant gynaecologist and having read the literature regarding IBS therapies and having tried a variety of medications and dietary changes I remained unconvinced that any therapy would be helpful for my symptoms. However, now I have completed a short course of Gut-Directed Hypnotherapy sessions with Patsy I am delighted to find that I was completely wrong.

I found Patsy very easy-going and fun to work with. She provided a calm, encouraging and safe environment in which to explore hypnotherapy. She is gentle but insightful in directing the therapy towards the areas you wish to improve, so it is a very individualised rather than a generic approach. I am so pleased that my long-standing symptoms have resolved and I now have a selection of tools to help me manage any potential flare-ups in the future.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Patsy to any friends, patients or colleagues.

Patsy has done an excellent job and has covered all aspects of my IBS and anxiety around it and medical situations.  I now have tools I can use to calm myself when anxious. I can use my audio sessions to help improve my situation. I feel more confident about the future. (Anonymous)

I have recently completed a 6 session course of hypnotherapy with Patsy – through her voluntary work with the Wessex Cancer Care.  I found the relaxation and coping strategies really helpful for dealing with stressful situations.  Patsy is a kind and supportive professional and I looked forward to my sessions with her.  She was generous with sharing resources to help me manage my situation and I feel that the work she did with me has a deep and lasting impact.  I would not hesitate to recommend her work.  AP

I found our sessions really helpful in exploring issues, learning how to be more relaxed and less anxious, and developing techniques to be more mindful and calm in day to day life.  I also enjoyed our chats and found you excellent company, as well as being a skilful and professional practitioner!

It is a wonderful thing to make a difference to the lives of others, and I really appreciate everything you have done for me.

The hypnotherapy with Patsy was very enjoyable and enlightening. I admit I was a bit sceptical at first on how this could work….but it did. It was not at all difficult, simply training my mind to think differently and changing a few habits. Just a few simple steps, always focusing on positivity. I looked forward to my weekly sessions. I definitely overcame a few hurdles with ease and I would love to explore some more; I would highly recommend.

Firstly I would like to thank Patsy for her solution focused hypnotherapy sessions. I felt a great benefit even after the first session, I noticed how much calmer I was feeling. Her insight and skills helped me to resolve some deep issues and as a result I am feeling so much better. She has such a personable manner and so easy to talk to! I have no hesitation in recommending Patsy.

Empowering, insightful, calming and safe are how I describe my hypnotherapy experience with Patsy. Initially I was nervous, not knowing what to expect but I needn’t have worried because Patsy is so very easy to talk with. She helped me to understand my thought processes and equipped me with ways to break the patterns which had caused my anxieties. Her calming hypnotherapy left me feeling rested and ready too, not just to face life, but to embrace it once again; something for which I will be ever grateful. If you’re looking for someone who will listen, explain, support and actually make a difference then I happily recommend Patsy.
