I just wanted to say a big thank you for putting X forward for this intervention, she has really enjoyed it and I believe also really benefitted from it. We’ve certainly seen an improvement in her going into school more happily and with greater confidence. She’s certainly picked up and understood how different parts of her brain work and how to manage the fight, flight and freeze responses. I’m amazed at how much you have covered in just six weeks and I hope many more children have the opportunity to benefit from this intervention.

Lydia is a knowledgeable and professional therapist. She gave us superb information about what she offers our children, arranged meetings with parents and engaged the children right from the beginning. We feel very lucky to have Lydia supporting children in school and know this is such a valuable session for them. Child, staff and parent feedback has all been extremely positive.

It was very calming. I felt comfortable and like I could be honest and not be judged. I feel as though I have gained techniques to help me whenever I feel anxious or stressed which makes me feel more confident in my ability to cope.

Working with Lydia has been perfect! She is professional and approachable and the one to one sessions with students is a brilliant way of starting the sessions without the pressure of a group scenario straight away. We believe this resulted in good attendance for our students, which resulted in excellent impact.

"Couldn't recommend Lydia enough! From the first meeting my son left feeling excited about going to the meetings on his own. He seemed interested and excited about having therapy, a space for him to focus and express whatever he wanted.
The effects are priceless and noticeable after a short time. I love how relaxed it all felt and informative.
I wish I met Lydia before and saved us all months of stress and frustrations."

"The change is quite unreal! It didn't take long for the effects to show - a much more positive outlook on things, a calmer child, more loving and communicative. The whole house has relaxed thanks to him seeing you and we are forever grateful!
His teacher also commented how much more positive and productive he is at school and how his attitude seemed to change."

“I can’t thank Lydia enough! I went to see Lydia suffering with anxiety after being diagnosed with a long term health condition that was making me feel scared and anxious about what the future holds. Lydia has helped me to understand why our brains make us feel the way they do. She helped me to change my thought process to be more positive and has helped me live for the day!
Lydia’s kind, professional and caring nature has helped put me back on track and she has given me all the tools I need in case of any bad days.
Solution focused hypnotherapy gets a thumbs up from me!”

“I could not recommend Lydia enough! I have had a huge phobia of wasps for many years to the point I would stay in my house some days in the Summer from fear. I now feel comfortable enough to be around them without freaking out and making a fool of myself! Thank you so much Lydia!”

“I thoroughly recommend Lydia. She offers a calming, nurturing and reassuring space for people to feel safe in and therefore allow them to be able to take on board all the support and self-help strategies she can offer them. My 15 year old daughter appears calmer and more able to have conversations which might be challenging for her. She is polite and responsive within the family group and doesn’t shut herself away so much!
Thank you so so much!!”

“Working with you was like a dream. Like so much weight was lifted every time I saw you. You have such a lovely, calming voice and I now know how to look for signs when I am starting to feel stressed and know how to help myself relax and to not be so hard on myself.”

“I would encourage everyone to take sessions with you! Your techniques and advice are so logical and make so much sense but everyone sometimes needs a bit of help to set them back on the right track. We spend lots of time exercising and looking after our physical wellbeing – after my sessions with Lydia I can see how important it is to invest in mental wellbeing – I wish I had thought to do this years ago.”

"Lydia delivered three awesome sessions on wellness, resilience, and the psychology of change in partnership with us on an awayday for a film entertainment client. The event was rated 9/10 on average and 100% of participants said they learned something new about both wellness and resilience. I look forward to working with Lydia again in the future"
