"If you are suffering with IBS (whether it is the beginning or a reappearance bout) and you want to feel better I can thoroughly recommend this programme to help.
Sometimes medicines are just not enough by themselves and you probably have your diet under control already. If you are prepared to put in the work that these recordings require then you should feel much better by the end of the programme. Making yourself spend half an hour a day relaxing (proper deep relaxation) is a great way to combat the stresses of daily life but in addition you will be given a whole host of tools and tips to aid you in your recovery. I was struggling with a nasty recurrence of IBS after several years managing it quite well and was willing to give this new approach a try. I am so glad I did as it has made a huge difference in a few short months and I can honestly say I feel much much better and also now have access to all the programme materials should I have another bout in the future. Thank you Vanessa for suggesting the programme and I hope it will help lots of other people in the future. (Viv - a very satisfied customer!)

"I have recently had a number of sessions with Vanessa to get over few personal issues and I cannot speak highly enough of her!
I went to see her for the free 30min session to discuss areas I wanted her help with and to see if I felt comfortable with her as my therapist. We spoke at length and she got me straight away. It was so easy to talk to her. Vanessa is very approachable, friendly, warm and professional at the same time.
We agreed on what we could achieve in the number of sessions I was looking to have and I was very excited to begin.
I must say, I have never had a hypnotherapy or NLP sessions before I went to see Vanessa (except few self help audio hypnotherapy sessions) so I was a little nervous and apprehensive when I arrived for the first session, but I was put at ease quickly. I had emailed Vanessa in between our initial meeting and the first session with few details as to how I wanted to approach my therapy sessions with her and she had taken full notice of this; I felt in safe, caring and very competent hands in her office, exactly what I needed to explore the issues at hand.
I liked that Vanessa is direct and her no nonsense attitude together with gentle and genuine care for me allowed me to face the emotions I had not been able to deal with for a long time. She allowed me to explore important issues that arose in our sessions, yet she easily brought me back when I diverged.
I will be definitely going back to Vanessa in the future when needed and I very highly recommend her to anyone who needs some help in their life. "

"Although I have been with Vanessa for a short time, about 3 months, I have already experienced significant improvements in my life. Vanessa is more than a pragmatic therapist, she is full of empathy, a beautiful human being with a immense heart. Working with her has been a priviledge. Thank you, Vanessa, for what you have done for me, for what you are doing."

"Vanessa was a brilliant therapist from the first session through to the last. Her quick ability to recognise why I was not reaching my full potential at school and in exams was excellent, and enabled me to access the full support I needed from school. I would without a doubt recommend Vanessa as a therapist. "

"I cannot recommend Vanessa highly enough. She has helped my son and I overcome different anxiety issues in the past. She makes you feel relaxed from the moment you sit down and helps you using her many strategies to beat your demons!
Thanks Vanessa x"

"I first discovered Vanessa several years ago when she helped me to address and work on some long term anxiety issues and also just feeling stuck and directionless. She used EFT, hypnosis and counselling. It was the first time I had spoken to anyone about some of these things and opened up, I was brought up feeling I couldn't talk about my feelings and fears etc so I never had. It wasn't easy to open up and trust a new person to begin with but Vanessa has a very caring non judgemental and loving presence and I soon trusted her completely. The most important thing was that she gave me a safe space to express myself and bring up a lot of what had been suppressed so long. We were then able to work through these issues and emotions with EFT which I find particularly powerful as it works on a physical energy level not just mind. I soon felt lighter and much more free of the past, she helped me find forgiveness to let the past go and that helped release a lot of anxiety and began a process of transformation within me which is still ongoing. Vanessa is a great therapist to work with because she cares whole heartedly....I would go so far as to use the word love.... and you really feel that with her. She will try different approaches in order to find The treatment or combination that works for you. Add to that her experience and expertise and you have a rare gem."

"When I went to see Vanessa I was in a pretty bad place physically and emotionally. I saw her monthly for about 8 months. What can I say? Vanessa changed my life and helped me through a really tough time. She made me a stronger person and taught me how to manage my emotions, to accept who I am and deal with situations in a manageable way. I am no longer on medication and she helped me come off it gradually, advising me on the best way to do it (she's more knowledgeable and gave better advise than my GP!). She's a really lovely person, amazing at her job and I can't recommend her enough. I can't thank her enough."

"I first met Vanessa four and a half years ago when my husband was looking for a doula for us for the birth of our first child.
She came out to meet us and I instantly warmed to her, she made us feel very at ease.
With Vanessa's help and guidance I practised the art of Hypnobirthing, including breathing techniques and visualisation, which I then continued to do at home between sessions.
Vanessa supported me throughout the pregnancy and I strongly believe that it was due to her methods that I was able to have a wonderful, calm birth.
When I fell pregnant with our second child she was the obvious choice to help me through this again.
Vanessa is extremely friendly, approachable, kind, and amazing at what she does. The support she has given to me and my husband, and our new family, has been incredible.
I have since used Vanessa to help me through other areas of my life, in particular to cope with medical issues, and she is an ongoing support to me.
I would strongly recommend her services to anybody who needs help in their life, I can't speak of her highly enough. "

"I met Vanessa at a very difficult time in my life, as I guess you would expect! I had tried other, maybe more conventional approaches, but 3 years down the line didn't seem to be much further along the road to recovery. I have only been seeing Vanessa for a relatively short amount of time, but despite this have already seen the biggest changes.
Vanessa is very caring and supportive but also honest and open, she genuinely cares and in my opinion goes over and above in the support she offers.
During the initial assessment consultation I had all my questions and concerns addressed, felt totally at ease, and was looking forward to working together. The emphasis really being that this is something you do together.
I always feel safe and relaxed and despite dealing with some very challenging topics have seen constant improvements in many areas of my life.
I didn't have any real understanding or knowledge of what NLP or hypnotherapy entailed and I find it fascinating, even with me as the subject. It amazes me what your mind is capable of with some expert guidance.
I highly recommend visiting Vanessa, in fact I have recommended her to many of my friends and family. It was a great decision and a real turning point in my life, thank you Vanessa x"
