Success Stories

“I am so happy I contacted Pauline. I had been struggling for such a long time with menopause symptoms - Anxiety, low mood, and fatigue. As a therapist myself I know the benefits of reaching out. I knew I had to try something different and look for some support. Pauline offered me a calm space and allowed me to take a step back and breathe. My sessions allowed me to focus on lots of self-care. The hypnotherapy was so lovely, and we did different techniques each week. Each week I slowly started to feel my head was popping over the wall and slowly I started to feel lighter and lighter and had a sense of being in control again. I started to practice daily meditations (something I had let slip!) I started exercising and getting back into practicing my yoga again.
Pauline was so lovely, patient and understanding and I felt she understood exactly what I needed.
My sessions have now finished but I am still feeling the benefits from the hypnotherapy and support I received. It was just what I needed to get some normality back in my life and start living again.
I would highly recommend Skylark Hypnotherapy to anyone feeling overwhelmed with the menopause journey. And I will not hesitate to go back for more support in the future if needed.
Thank you, Pauline.”

“I had successful treatment with Pauline for a troublesome phobia. Pauline is professional and kind and puts you at ease - even when dealing with difficult feelings or reactions Having experienced the tailored programme she created for my needs, I can see how this type of treatment could be used for so many issues or overcoming limitations/limiting beliefs. Thank you Pauline.”

“The thought of hypnotherapy at first, I was wary as to what it was like. But I see now the benefit of it, is to get you in the right state of mind to be able to focus more on the tasks by being more relaxed. I loved the fact that Pauline helped me see things in a different way that challenged how I thought about things. Also, I’ve learnt some techniques that will help me now and in the future. Thanks Pauline.”

Pam, Cheshire

“I have suffered from insomnia for years and nothing I have tried has made a difference. I asked Pauline if she could help, even though I am not a person who can easily relax, was somewhat closed to the idea of hypnosis and was not convinced therapy could make any real difference or impact. From the first session, however, I was hugely impressed. Pauline’s approach is based on sound, evidence based research. She has a wealth of knowledge that she imparts with a calm, reassuring manner that instils confidence and a belief that this approach is going to help. Despite my reservations and natural barriers, I was amazed at how powerfully this technique enabled me to relax. From the very first session, I was able to reach a state of deep relaxation and the recorded sessions Pauline sent to me, helped me to learn to retune and relax more deeply. After a few weeks, I found I was waking up feeling energised for the first time in years and the difference in my energy levels, my focus and my ability to do tasks and activities I was previously finding challenging, due to chronic tiredness, has been noticeable. It has definitely made a positive difference to my life. I have already recommended Pauline to friends and am now a real advocate of this approach; testament to Pauline’s skill, knowledge and commitment.”

Nicky, Cheshire

“Pauline listened in a gentle and caring manner, showed empathy and understanding. Challenges automatic thoughts, created goals and how to get there which was very useful as at the beginning I think most people will feel stuck in a hole that they can’t get out of.

Pauline was open and honest with what she could help with. I couldn’t of imagined in such a short time I would be so different, when I look back I can see how far I have come.

I have learnt that the past doesn’t define you, what you do on a daily basis and how hard you try does! Oh and the word failure doesn’t exist!!

Cannot praise Pauline enough, what she does is simply amazing!”

Amanda, Cheshire

“[Pauline] is really helpful!

She supports me, is very understanding and the strategies she helps me put in place in my life enable me to develop a sense of calm, and help me to put my life back into persepctive.

She suggests some great approaches, which really help me to work through my issues.

She has a calm aura and a great ability to listen and empathise, without judgement, which is exactly what I need.

The many techniques that she provides me with help me on a day-to-day basis, they are practical yet also life changing.

I look forward to every session I have with her.”

Karen, Cheshire

“Pauline is an excellent therapist, very knowledgeable, very professional and she has helped and guided me so much in the sessions I have had.”

Lesley, Cheshire

“I recently had four sessions of hypnotherapy with Pauline at Skylark Hypnotherapy.
I had many areas which I wanted to address and I wasn't expecting the improvement after just one session.
It has changed my mindset and helped me stop medication for my anxiety and depression.
I can't recommend her highly enough.”

Valma, Cheshire

“Prior to the session I felt a little worried about opening up about my issue, but Pauline put my mind at ease from the outset. The discussions we had were thought provoking and insightful, I found myself thinking about things in a different way and reflecting on situations differently. Pauline wasn’t afraid to challenge my thought processes and my understanding of situations - I found this really useful as I realised my negative thoughts are manifestations of past experiences I was bringing forward. Pauline provided me with useful techniques and simple breathing exercises that have helped me to calm my anxiety in stressful situations. Pauline was great at coming back to what it was I wanted achieve and focusing on not only how to get there but how far I had come since our first session.”

Helen, Northamptonshire

“Reaching out to Pauline has proved to be one of the best decisions I have made. This wonderful woman, with her calm and understanding manner, has successfully steered me through a rather frightening phobia which was affecting many aspects of my daily life. Her knowledge and guidance, together with CBT hypnotherapy, helped me to understand and gain control of the anxiety relating to my phobia. Thank you Pauline for working your magic and changing my life. Sounds a little dramatic but true!”

Bev, Cheshire

“I started working with Pauline to overcome my fear of flying, I was unsure if this was for me.. wow was I wrong.
What a massive difference it has made to me, she was calm and understanding and showed me how to overcome any anxiety I was feeling.
I would 100% recommend working with her. I recently flew twice with such ease . Cannot thank her enough.”
