Jody Hake Counselling and Hypnotherapy

I went to see Jody in early 2021, I was was experience quite high levels of anxiety and wanted to get to the bottom of it. Jody helped me on a journey of self discovery and helped explain the "anxiety pot" and how our brains cope or don't cope with things. The biggest discovery was that the majority of the anxieties that I was suffering was the fact that I had never properly grieved for my Dad, who past when I was 11 years of age. The fact that I was drawing ever closer to the age that he was when he passed was adding to the mounting pieces of anxiety. By helping me realise that I had never properly grieved meant that I went through the grieving process again 32 years later, quite mind blowing really, but it has helped me understand who I am and why I do and think of the things that I do and think about. I am in a much better place now, I still worry about things, but I am able to process things better, as I write this I am 3 days away from matching the age of my Dad when he passed, and although this is a significant milestone for me still, it doesn't weigh me down half as much as it used to. I have also changed jobs and gone back to my old company and for now I am much happier. Thank you Jody for listening and helping me on that journey of discovery, and sorry it's taken me so long to post a testimonial!!

I came to see jody when I was struggling with depression and anxiety. I was apprehensive at the first consultation but was made to feel very relaxed. On my first appointment I had some hypnotherapy to help me sleep and a recording of the screed which really helped me. Through the course of about 8 weeks Jody helped me lay the past to bed and gave me methods to help cope in the future. Im ever so great full for the help Jody has given me. Another achievement whilst working with Jody was the hypnotherapy to help me quit smoking. Im two and half months without a cigarette and going strong. I cant recommend Jody enough. Very reasonably priced and a really genuine person.
