Libby Allard - Cognitive Hypnotherapy

When we first visited Libby, my 15 yr old son had already been suffering from a chronic gastro condition for a year, symptoms included constant nausea and daily vomiting (under GOSH). During that first session my son experienced relief from his nausea. This greatly helped my son cope with his awful chronic condition and strengthened his resolve. Libby was a supporting figure throughout. Easily contactable for advice between sessions. After each session my son improved both physically and mentally all thanks to Libby's help. Libby is mentioned in my son's medical notes and the success of her hypnotherapy has been acknowledged by 3 of his consultants at GOSH.

Libby is an excellent hypnotherapist. 4 sessions with her helped me more than 8 months of counselling. I suffered with terrible irrational anxiety for 11 years, it got even worse after the lockdown. It stopped me from doing things I love, socialising and being able enjoy things. Libby spotted some details of my life and made me dig dipper, some sessions were harder than others but she made me feel at ease and relaxed. I feel so much better and we uncovered cause of my anxiety, worked on it as well as uncovered some confidence issues and also worked on that. All work was done on Zoom and it was great, I was in the comfort of my own home on a sofa with my cat. If you want to give hypnotherapy a go, Libby is the right person.

I had more than 10 sessions with Libby over the past 6 months to work on childhood trauma which had over 25 years created certain anxious/negative patterns of thinking. Since becoming a new Mother this mental conditioning and repressed emotion was really unhelpful with developing new coping mechanisms and was making my experience less joyful. We spent many sessions delving back and replacing sadness, anger, fear and deep emotion with a sense of reassurance, strength and love. This alongside frequent reflexology sessions created much more resilience and space for me. This was an amazing, holistic approach to mental health which is worth every penny. The medical alternative which always results in synthetic chemicals in tablet form is not the answer. We hold the answer in our brains. Our brain wants to heal itself, it doesnt need synthetic serotonin or dopamines. It needs trust and a healing power which Libby can provide you with in abundance. I miss seeing her but I know my body needs time to digest all the work we have done together. So very thankful for her and the incredible results we found together.

After just finishing around 6 sessions, I would like to share my experience with Libby. I originally booked in to see Libby with my fear of flying, being a light aircraft pilot, I could not enjoy the time that I spent in the air flying. After a couple of sessions on my fear, I then decided to have further sessions on the anxiety that I have had for the last 6/7 years. After experiencing all kinds of anxiety & having CBT therapy & spending nearly 1,000 with other hypnotherapists, including a London hypnotherapist who I spend 350 on for 45 minuets with, I lost hope with hypnotherapy for my anxiety as it didn't seem to work. Libby was always attentive & made me feel calm & relaxed. I decided to give hypnotherapy one last go for my anxiety & I'm really glad I did. My anxiety, for the first time in years, has basically been 'Zapped' out of me using different techniques that I didn't know existed. This has honestly really helped me overcome the anxiety that I was experiencing & I can now finally close that chapter in my life & look forward to the future again. I would 100% see Libby again if anything else cropped up in my life that I needed help with & I think the 5 stars that was doesn't do enough justice for the experience I had with Libby. I would recommend her to absolutely anyone that needs help with something that's going on in their life that needs attention. Again, thank you Libby. Tom.

Libby's clarity and vision session leaves you feeling super positive. You focus on your character strenghts and visualise how you might practically implement these to lead your best life: a useful chance to reflect on where you are at in your life and remind you of what you are capable of. Libby guides you through a carefully constructed narrative that really helps focus on your inner self, leaving you with a boost and positive attitude that lingers long after the end of the session. It's more than just a coaching session: Libby does not give you advice, she is there to help you follow your own narrative and embed it in your subconscious and I'm already looking forward towards becoming my best future self! It's also very practice-oriented, so I was able to come up with actual and achievable to-do's on a list that mean the results from the session are tangible. As a one off session, this is a really useful, quick way to bring some clarity and encouragement to anyone, whether you are working through anything, or finding you need some reflection in the current climate, or are just curious to see what your most successful self might look like.
