PHOBIA: "Nicola helped me get over a very severe phobia I've had since childhood, using a combination of techniques. Absolutely fantastic results. Highly recommended!" Anna P
CHRONIC PAIN: "I have worked with too many practitioners than I can count and none provided the awareness and change that I experienced and received with Nicola Todd. I am in awe with her effectiveness and skillfulness to ask questions and bring my conscious and subconscious new ways of addressing issues which have adversely impacted me since childhood. My entire day has been better since we worked together this morning. Thanks again." Gersh G
SLEEP: "Having struggled with chronic sleep problems for many years, as a result of unsociable and erratic work patterns, I consulted Nicola on the advice of a colleague, who had had similar issues. By following the methods she gave me, which were clearly and very precisely set out, the problem completely alleviated itself within days." Adrian S
CHRONIC PAIN "I've had chronic pain in my lower spine for 30 years which has often been debilitating and greatly affected my life. No treatment of any sort has ever helped even a tiny bit. But after just one session of hypnotherapy with Nicola it was gone. It's still hard to believe, but it has. I would absolutely recommend Nicola to anyone with a similar seemingly untreatable pain - the change was instant and total. Over a year later, I am still pain free." Tim G
FLYING PHOBIA: "Before seeing Nicola I thought I would never get over my fear of flying, I'd tried everything from relaxation techniques to attending 3 fear of flying courses to no avail. I remained terrified with this crippling fear, which affected my daily life as even looking at a plane in the sky filled me with dread !! When my daughter moved to Australia I knew I had to do something. I was recommended to Nicola through a friend who also overcame his fear of flying with Nicola. I then went to Australia and completed 16 flights in 6 weeks!! I'm a totally new person and can honestly say it's given me confidence in other areas of my life. I can't thank Nicola enough. With her caring, compassionate nature and soothing voice, she got me there." Mandy S
EXAM CONFIDENCE: "I thought you'd like to know that the exam went swimmingly yesterday! The session with you not only kept me calm before the exam but on the day itself no butterflies at all. The ability to remain calm facing the prospect of the exam made my revision much more efficient and focused as my mind was able to take on board and retain the information."
Heather B

We had an in depth consultation and not only did I get through October without drinking, I now find I don't want to drink at all. I have been so pleased with the result and my life is getting better and better without Alcohol in it. I have recommended quite a few people now for different things. Thank you Nicola. " Clare W
PTSD: "You are clearly gifted to be a therapist in this field and I have done nothing but talk about how AMAZING you were/are your calm and kindness radiates from you and made me feel instantly comfortable in your company, considering my then condition and being complete strangers about an unknown science I think that’s pretty amazing. ” Rachael B, victim of New Zealand earthquake (using EMDR)

PUBLIC SPEAKING: “I cannot thank you enough for your help. I feel like a different person! The event went well and I actually added a lot to the occasion. By being calm and focused, I actually enjoyed the experience of presenting, and had many compliments for my work. Some people asked if I did it regularly and others thought I was a professional! I could have got you a lot of business as the majority of speakers were staggeringly ill prepared and nervous as anything. I now feel so happy, calm and confident and would relish the opportunity to do it again!” Heather G
PRESENTATION: “Just wanted to let you know about my presentation…I actually can’t believe how well it really went, it was like a dream and ever since I have been on cloud 9! On the morning of the presentation I felt calm, relaxed and was almost looking forward to it! I did mine second in the class and as soon as I stood up my nerves remained basically non-existent! I really enjoyed it in the end. It lasted 25 minutes and not once during it did I feel nervous! Most amazingly my voice was strong and confident throughout and did not shake once! Everyone congratulated me on my presentation and how confident I was…they even said how strong and confident my voice sounded! I can’t believe how perfectly it went. Thank you so much for all of your help and support… the effect that the hypnotherapy had on me was amazing and truly life-changing.” Emma B, Student
PUBLIC SPEAKING: ” I just wanted to say thank you so much for all your help with the public speaking. It definitely made a difference for my presentation and I got some excellent feedback afterwards. I felt much more in control of my nerves and was able to speak more slowly, my voice was steady and clear, and from the feedback I received, I didn’t appear remotely nervous. So it’s been a fantastic result. Thanks again for all the useful techniques you gave me!” Angela S
SPIDER PHOBIA: “Whilst all alone in the house, I came across my first house spider, and have successfully captured it under an ice cream container! I am really proud of myself! Thank you!” Sarah S
SKIING PHOBIA: “You’ll be delighted to know that our 2 week skiing holiday was a complete success. I skied almost every day and more importantly actually enjoyed the experience! I’m already looking forward to my next chance to get on the slopes.” Charley L
FISH PHOBIA: “Before meeting Nicola, my fear of fish made me too scared to even paddle in the sea. Since undergoing therapy, you can’t get me out of the water and I’m about to embark on a scuba diving course!” Charlotte (3 sessions)
DENTAL PHOBIA: “All through my life (from 4 years old – I am now 75) I had an unreasonable but very real feeling of the fear of dentists. I used to shake and perspire; wet palms and a wet shirt were the orders of the day. Sleepless nights prior to the visits were quite usual. I saw Nicola and the fear subsided and now I am in the middle of dental treatment which is involving extractions and implants. It is a great therapy that Nicola offers and what is important…it works. I only wish I had had the opportunity to experience it sooner; it would have saved me years of unhappiness and apprehension. It is now wonderful... I have no more fear of the needles and all the contraptions that dentists use and I can talk and write about it!! What a relief not to have that black, fearful cloud hanging around.” Brian J
