Testimonials

Here are a few comments from clients who have experienced Bev’s hypnotherapy treatments…

Having delayed my New Year’s resolution to quit the smoking habit until mid January- I’m proud to report that I’ve done it!!

 I have previously tried and failed several times and have probably tried and tested most methods from patches, gum, self help books and the complete withdrawal/willpower method.

 Through recommendation from a close family member who had herself successfully quit in readiness for her wedding in August 2008, I made one of the best moves of my life and contacted Beverly Southall to give her hypnotherapy a try!

I am so pleased to say that following a very pleasant, relaxing two hour session, I have not contemplated smoking or craved a cigarette and have rarely even thought of my old habit. When I have done so though perhaps because someone has lit up in my presence, I no longer have that agitated, deprived feeling that I used to have when I was trying to quit- just a glowing positive attitude that I have learned through the therapy which overpowers any fleeting negative thoughts.

As a result of this I feel happier, more relaxed, confident and now feel that I can achieve virtually anything I want if I put my positive mind to it. I also feel full of energy and put the time that I wasted smoking to far better use. My husband and children no longer spurn my advances for a kiss or cuddle due to the horrendous stench of nicotine and I have also noticed an improvement in my skin, eyes and hair.

What is more, I don’t feel as if I have given up anything. I have quite simply gained a wonderful sense of freedom!

I made an appointment with Bev, having given it all much thought. I was suffering low self esteem in all aspects of my life for many reasons and ,although life was bearable I knew that it could be a whole lot better. So I entered into the process with a totally open mind. If it worked – great – if not at least I could say I tried.

So I had an initial chat to Bev who is so easy to talk to. I have to say that some of the questions she asked were very searching and I really had to work at answering them! That in itself was so helpful. When do we ever afford ourselves the time to analyse our lives and thoughts?

Following the initial soul searching I decided that I wanted to work on my positives. Bev asked if I knew what to expect and to be honest I had no idea. She explained what would happen next and feeling quite anxious we began. I honestly never expected it to be so wonderful Bev took me on the most amazing journey! I remember thinking that it was like unblocking a blocked drain! Not the best of images I’m sure but it really does explain the process. It would be wrong to try and explain what I experienced because it is so personal to me. It is enough to say that I have never experienced anything like it! Truly amazing, powerful and extremely emotive. Throughout the process I had total faith and trust in Bev-she inspired that confidence in me.

Since then the experience has lived on with me. I can honestly say ‘it has worked ‘which is such a cliché and I really am not one for clichés. Friends and family have been aware of the new positive me. The experience is growing daily as I recall things from my ‘session’. How long will it last? I am sure it will be with me forever. I wish I had discovered Bev and her ‘powers ‘ a long time ago except I may not have been ready for it then. I just hope Bev can help others the way she has helped me.

Thank you Bev. You are truly amazing and need to be discovered by so many more people.

” Bev. Your professionalism and relaxed style immediately put me at ease; I didn’t feel like a ‘patient’. Having suffered with Bruxism for years, it was a recommendation from a friend who you had also successfully treated that led me to see you, as well as a partner fed up of the grinding!

After just one session I stopped the grinding, and sleep much better. Your relaxation techniques left me with a great feeling of well-being, and a year on I find that I can still relax better now whenever I feel stressed. My dentist is also very pleased!

Thank you so much, I would recommend you to anyone who is considering seeing you.

” I went to see Bev for hypnotherapy on 12th March 2008. Bev has a bubbly and warm personality which puts you at ease from the very beginning of the treatment. She makes you feel at home and the room in which she does the therapy is warm and comfortable and very relaxing.

I went to Bev for smoking and was a bit dubious as to whether it would work for me or not. I spent half an hour chatting to Bev about the reasons for wanting to stop smoking and then she started the therapy. Although I did not ‘fall asleep’ as I expected to, I felt floaty and completely relaxed throughout the whole experience. When the session came to an end, I felt good but did not feel any different and expected to get in the car and light a cigarette straight away. However I did not have the urge to smoke at all. It is now 5th August and I have not felt the need to smoke, despite socialising with people who do.

I am extremely pleased with the outcome, particularly because I have not become a dreaded “ex smoker”. I do not preach to people about the dangers or to stop smoking. That is their choice and none of my business and I feel that whatever Bev said to me during the therapy has helped me to refrain from being an ‘anti-smoker’ which I am grateful for. I would recommend Bev to anyone who has a problem, phobia or habit which needs treatment as I believe she has the ability to help anyone.”

“I went to see Bev Southhall about a month ago because I felt like I was having some confidence problems, I was also smoking cannabis at the time and found it hard to quit, so I went to see Bev, she sat me down I explained the problem to her, she was very friendly and understanding and after hearing what I had to say we started the session. After the session I went back home feeling better about myself. It’s been a month now and I have quit the cannabis and feel much better for it, anyone else feeling like I did should give the the hypnotherapy a try, I found it works.”

“I have been skiing for 7 years now and, for some reason, last year had a panic attack at the top of the mountain and couldn’t get down.  It ruined everyone’s holiday as I wouldn’t ski again and said I wouldn’t be going with them this time.  I decided to get some help through hypnotherapy, did some research and came up with Bev Southall.  She is such a lovely person, put me totally at ease from the first minute.  I have just returned from a skiing holiday in Andorra, had a great time,skiied 5 days out of 7 and we are already planning next year’s trip.  On top of that I have started swimming again, another sport I was always anxious in doing.  I would recommend, and indeed have done so, talking to Bev about any anxieties or difficulties you have.  I plan to have, at least, annual ‘top-ups’ as I feel I have become a different person, more assertive, less anxious and have an increased feeling of self worth.   Thank you Bev.”
