I researched online for a hypnotherapist and psychotherapist with great reviews, and was pleased to find that Louise was working close to where we live. My daughter had already received a course of counselling but still needed help with a phobia and general anxiety issues. These were affecting both her school attendance and her home and social life increasingly negatively. Louise was the perfect practitioner for her. She helped her understand the basic science behind anxiety reactions and phobias,  encouraged her to voice her goals and she is now working with her towards achieving more positive emotions and mindsets. My frequently monosyllabic, hormonal teen transforms under Louise’s care, becoming verbally open, calmer and has improved after every visit. School attendance is markedly improved, too. We find ourselves referring back to Louise’s techniques whenever normal life situations are becoming tense or if my daughter experiences a trigger for her phobia. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Louise’s services, in fact, I already have! Thank you so much, Louise.

I have had multiple sessions with Louise for anxiety and from day one came away feeling more relaxed. She provides a friendly, calm environment which really helps to feel at ease and make progress. I have come away able to do things I never could before, and feel more in control of my mind. Highly recommend.

Louise provided 4 sessions at short notice for a family member with a severe bout of OCD, (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) l was allowed to sit in and was very impressed with her knowledge and approach in helping us understand what the mental mechanisms are that were an underlying trigger. In the space of 3 weeks there was a massive improvement in mindset with a focus on positivity, calm atmosphere and calming manner which reduced their anxiety. We cannot thank her enough and would highly recommend her.

I really enjoyed hypnotherapy with Louise both face to face and online sessions.

Only 6 sessions changed my life 100 times over. She helped with my anxiety and lack of confidence. She explained what actually is happening to me, why I felt the way I felt and gave me lots of new tools to manage my emotions. She always made me feel welcome. Louise is a very warm and trustful person. I’d highly recommend Louise Barnes Hypnotherapy.

I enjoy my life again !!!

Thank you Louise.

I went to see Louise because I had dartitis and her hypnotherapy really helped me get over it.

She is absolutely brilliant at what she does , I would recommend her to anyone.

Thank you for helping me Louise.

“ I consulted Louise for several months recently and found the service really good – the opportunity to have talking therapy along with Hypnotherapy helped a great deal – high level relaxation- and I know if I need help again I can return“

Louise has been amazing. She has helped me so much with my anxiety, and I highly recommend her. I was unsure about hypnosis at the start, but she put me at ease straight away with her soothing demeanour and wonderfully positive attitude. I felt so relaxed after every session, and the audio really helped that feeling continue even after the sessions were over. Thank you for all your help.

Hypnotherapy was recommended by my GP after suffering badly from anxiety I have to say I was a little sceptical but after speaking to Louise I was much less so . I can honestly say I feel so much calmer and in control of my emotions can’t thank Louise enough.

I contacted Louise after a friend had used hypnotherapy to overcome a fear. In the initial consultation, Louise explained to me the way in which your brain can follow unhelpful patterns of thought, and how hypnotherapy can help to change them. 

I attended sessions in person and via Zoom. I’m really glad I chose to pursue hypnotherapy. At no point in the process did I feel uncomfortable, or not in control. It was instead a relaxing process which made me feel calm and positive. 

Over the course of a few weeks I began to notice a number of changes: I found it much easier to exercise and eat healthily (this was the problem I had initially wanted to address), but also I realised I could cope better with stress in general, I was sleeping better, and generally felt more relaxed and in control of my life. 

To anyone with a specific problem which they would like to overcome, I would definitely recommend booking an initial consultation to discuss hypnotherapy with Louise.
