From the moment I met Rachel, her calm and soothing presence immediately allowed me to feel comfortable and at ease. Over the course of our sessions, I noticed a significant reduction in my anxiety levels and I found myself more grounded and able to cope with stress in a more balanced and calm way. What stood out to me was Rachel's attentiveness and ability to guide me through the process with such care and professionalism. Each session left me feeling relaxed, and I gained valuable tools to manage my anxiety outside of therapy. If you're struggling with anxiety and are open to alternative methods of healing, I highly recommend Rachel. Her expertise in hypnotherapy has made a significant difference in my life, and I am incredibly grateful to have worked with her.

Phobia

I first went to Rachel to help with my anxiety of airports following Covid. Rachel was amazing. Her warm and welcoming approach made me feel relaxed and safe. Rachel has also helped me with a fear of taxidermy. I have had this fear for 40 years. I thought I would have it for life! Last week I went to the restaurant on holiday with stuffed animals on the shelves and over the doorway. I was calm and I wasn't fearful at all. My husband asked me if I was using any techniques.

I could not have done this without you.  You have turned my life around and opened up new, exciting and happy adventures for me. I feel free and I will be forever grateful. Thank You. You are a wonderful lady.

Rachel helped start me on new journey away from embedded thought patterns developed over 10 years after the death of my wife. Even at 75 it’s never too late to change. I’m indebted to her.

The techniques I have learnt from Rachel have been extremely effective in helping me to address issues I had with flying. The support from Rachel, her caring and positive attitude and belief in me have enabled me to start flying again after 7 years of avoiding it. The positive thinking approach is also very helpful in lots of other areas of life.

Rachel was absolutely amazing. At first I was skeptical but after only a few weeks the effects of Hypnotherapy were noticeably positive. From the initial discovery call to the very final session, Rachel put me at ease. She was extremely professional, kind and supportive throughout. I am so grateful to Rachel and would definitely recommend Acorn2oak Hypnotherapy.

I tried hypnotherapy as a last resort after getting diagnosed with idiopathic urticaria and physically not being able to leave the house in full honesty thinking nothing would come out of it but Infact it was quite the opposite. I had a session with Rachel once a week and could genuinely feel myself getting better and better every week within a couple of months I had completely cured my urticaria which was a complete miracle and this was no doubt thanks to Rachel and the hypnotherapy I wish I could rate it higher than 5 stars as this is truly amazing stuff and I couldn't recommend enough

I was initially unsure about hypnotherapy and was nervous to take that first step, but from my very first consultation, Rachel put me at ease. She made me feel safe, supported, and understood from the start which made a huge difference. Over the past six weeks, I’ve seen a real shift in how I manage anxiety and those overwhelming feelings. Each session is a calming, positive space to breathe and reflect. I’m so grateful I started this journey and would absolutely recommend Rachel to anyone feeling stuck or overwhelmed. It’s truly been a turning point for me and I’m excited to carry on this journey.

I’ve struggled with mental health, motivation, and confidence issues for decades, and tried many different therapies along the way. I was surprised at first that Rachel’s approach wasn’t just about being hypnotised; the real benefits came from the combination of talking therapy / coaching, and the trance part of the sessions. I’ve definitely noticed a big change. I find it much easier to lift my mood, stay motivated, and get more out of my day. Rachel has a very down-to-earth, honest way of working, which made the whole process easy to understand and easy to follow. I know that maintaining progress will always take effort, but I do feel I have a simple, practical approach that has genuinely worked for me over the last 6 weeks. I would definitely recommend Rachel to anyone looking for support.

Rachel is professional, caring and intrinsic to the best pathway to take when considering individual treatments. As I had attended hypnotherapy sessions before I had some understanding of the process and went with a specific flight claustrophobia fear that I wanted to work on. Rachel tailored the sessions to this and on a recent holiday abroad I honestly cannot believe how my mindset was different. Even to the point where I purposefully looked for triggers to see if that spurred on uneasy feelings but to no avail. I had complete faith in the process but I was still shocked! If you have any doubts/ concerns share them with her and give it a go. Honestly you won’t regret it!

I highly recommend Rachel. I felt considerably less stressed even after the first session and the following sessions really helped me with my menapause symptoms and stress.

I first went to see Rach following my diagnosis and treatment for breast cancer. Finding out I had cancer floored me! Just a routine check that knocked completely off course for a good while. As a result, I found I was more fearful about the future, anxious about what was round the corner, and really not sure whether I could go back to enjoy things the way I used to, not to mention work – could I actually still do my job having had time off and everything ticked along without me! The solution focussed hypnotherapy sessions with Rachel really helped me to unravel all of these fears, and anxieties, and helped me understand that I was still me, and that whilst I couldn’t control what happens or what people say or do, I could still control how I dealt with it. I started to build resilience back and recognised the positives and possibilities that life still held. Rachel’s kind, gentle and patient approach to these sessions really helped me. She is very insightful and knowledgeable about how we humans tick! And listening to her and following her guidance through the sessions along with the hypnotherapy helped me to regain my mental strength to focus on the future and feel lucky to be able to. Rachel you are fantastic, and I can’t thank you enough for all of the support you’ve given me to get me back on track.
