I would like to thank those people who have provided the following testimonials and given their permission for them to be published.
These are direct quotes:
"I had a great experience working with Rachel. When I was referred to her, I was feeling overwhelmed by my anxiety when speaking in front of groups of people. I wanted to be able to speak confidently and comfortably, but the anxiety just got in the way.
Rachel worked with me and taught me some techniques for staying focused on the conversation at hand rather than letting my mind wander off into anxious territory. She also taught me ways of having a more positive outlook on things. The result? I'm now able to speak confidently and comfortably in front of groups. I also have recently volunteered to speak at a Conference of 1,000+ attendees later this year, something I would have never dared to do before.
Rachel's hypnotherapy has been transformative for me, and I can't recommend her enough!"

"I had hypnotherapy to help me with craving for chocolate and to help me try new foods. I still enjoy chocolate but on odd occasions rather than every day. Prior to starting hypnotherapy I did not like or eat any fruits and now eat (and enjoy!) a banana and apple everyday as well as eating other foods I previously disliked, such as eggs.
Thank you Rachel for helping me make these life changes, which have made me feel better about myself, and for making the sessions fun!!"

"After two years of suffering insomnia, sleeping two hours or less a night which eventually led to depression and anxiety, I booked to see Rachel for hypnotherapy. After just two sessions I was able to sleep full nights and my health improved greatly. I would recommend Rachel to anybody suffering the same promblems as myself."
"I had hypnotherapy sessions with Rachel for sleeping problems. Rachel put me at ease straight away with a calming, relaxing and friendly manner. The sessions were extremely helpful in enabling me to find strategies to relax and begin to enjoy a full nights sleep again. The spin off for me was also in the techniques I acquired from Rachel to just help me to relax and take brief but productive time out during the day
to de-stress and chill out."

"I attended hypnotherapy sessions while pregnant. Rachel was very warm and welcoming and I immediately felt comfortable in her presence. My partner attended the first session with me and this was useful as he was able to support me. The sessions assisted me when I went into premature labour and I was able to draw on the techniques that Rachel had coached me on. I felt very calm and in control.
I also have a phobia of needles and Rachel linked some of the sessions to this. It really helped as I had to have a huge amount of needles during my time in hospital!
I had a positive birth experience and believe that the hypnotherapy sessions I had with Rachel really helped with this."

"Hi Rachel. I really enjoyed the session of self-hypnosis I had with you. I also felt you were open to talk about other aspects of self-help such as mindfulness and there were no rules and rigid structures to your teachings - I felt totally at ease with you and I am sure we will meet again in the future."
"Rachel, thank you for your valuable time spent with my wife and myself (on your self-hypnosis day).
Although there needs to be much practice to really ensure the techniques work, we love the simplicity of the techniques. The relaxation techniques bring calmness and a sense of well-being. We shall be continuing to develop what we have learned."

"My grand-daughter enjoyed the self-hypnosis session and went home, had a shower and a relaxing sleep! Hopefully she may use the techniques to relax herself when necessary. I enjoyed it too - and also had a sleep later!"
"I found the sessions I had with Rachel really helpful. She put me at ease and I came away feeling more relaxed and in control. It has helped me to control my eating habits as well as helping me cope with stressful situations. I have managed to lose weight gradually without feeling I am depriving myself of things I enjoy. Thanks for all your help."
"The hypnotherapy I had with Rachel was very, very good. I was able to relax very quickly and I was surprised about that. I enjoyed the whole experience. Throughout the whole thing I had no anxiety. I came away with a definite sense of hope which I’ve never had before."
"Rachel has such a kind and caring manner that you instantly feel at ease when attending a session. The hypnotherapy is calming and relaxing and this feeling stays with you after the session. Rachel is dedicated to helping people and takes the time to find visualisations that will work specifically for your needs. The whole experience is both uplifting and soothing and taking time out of your busy life once in a while really improves your sense of well being."
"I have been going to Rachel’s sessions for a while now and
am so impressed by her flexibility and professionalism. The sessions often take a twist and she uses
a variety of skills and invariably flows between different techniques to meet my needs. I have every faith in her and would always be
willing to recommend her to others."
"I had one treatment with Rachel Broomfield and I have to say Rachel made me feel relaxed and engaged in exactly what we were trying to achieve. I was looking for a more focused positive thinking, and Rachel meticulously put together a hypnotherapy session for me that was so detailed and precise, I can only say that since then I have to think back to that day because I am most certainly more positive. What's more impressive is I've never been so busy either, I am self employed.
This is a good testimonial to Rachel and I recommend her services to anyone."

"Rachel is professional, approachable, calm and made me feel at ease right from the beginning of my very first session. She got down to the root of my problem and made me see things in a different way. I highly recommend her."
"I had been suffering with anxiety for a long while and felt that the condition was getting worse rather than improving. I was reluctant to see my GP as I did not want to go down the anti-depressant route. I did consider counselling but was not prepared to commit to long-term treatment. I had worked with Rachel for many years and considered her to be an excellent colleague and a trusted friend. I was aware that she had re-trained as a hypnotherapist and after an informal chat with her decided that maybe hypnosis/mindfulness could be the answer.
I found her manner and approach to be calming and reassuring. I immediately felt that she had a genuine desire to improve my well being and as a result of Rachel’s sessions I have developed strategies for coping with my anxiety so much so that my quality of life has improved dramatically. I am so glad that I made this choice. I unreservedly recommend anyone to seriously consider hypnosis and mindfulness as a means of tackling many of the issues of modern life. Rachel, in my opinion, is an excellent practitioner and could be just the person to change your life for the better."

"Rachel I just wanted to let you know how your hypnotherapy sessions have helped to turn my life around. I thought I would never be free of the condition I had suffered from for many years. It had taken over my life! But after just 2 sessions I felt in control of my life again.
The whole process was a calm, relaxing and positive experience delivered in a professional, yet friendly, manner. Thankyou Rachel."

"I suffer from an anxiety disorder and the relaxation therapy I had with Rachel was extremely helpful. Rachel was very friendly and really put me at ease. I would highly recommend her."
"I had
suffered the daily pain and discomfort in my knees and back for over 10 years
and taken many prescription pain relieving drugs. However, I was fast
approaching the point where I no longer wanted to become dependent or reliant
on drugs for pain relief and decided to explore other avenues of pain
management; hypnotherapy was an option. Rachel had previously worked with my
wife in Education and although there was more than 10 years since they had
worked together they had kept in contact and when Rachel left teaching to study
and train to become a hypnotherapist it was something which we discussed about
how it could be used to help relieve and manage pain.
I was rather sceptical initially, however Rachel's calm professional approach helped to alleviate my doubts.
At the first meeting, Rachel asked me about my medical history and the pain I was experiencing and the medication prescribed. She made me feel totally relaxed and at ease, listening carefully and with sincerity to my explanation. During the hypnotherapy session I closed my eyes while Rachel talked me through how the pain affected me on a daily basis by asking questions etc. A warm feeling blanketed over my pain. Hypnotherapy has helped me to discover techniques to help control my pain management thus minimising the use of prescription drugs.
I would recommend Hypnotherapy if you are suffering constant daily pain and are seeking a prescription drug alternative. Rachel has a fantastic calm, and knowledgeable personality but without being overpowering or false; she immediately puts you at ease."
