I have been interested in Psychology for many years. I have had a lot of life experience which I believe has helped make me an empathic person. I am non-judgmental, kind, personable with a very positive attitude to life. I wanted to qualify and use my skills in something I totally believe in. I know hypnotherapy and counselling have helped a great many people to overcome their problems.

I achieved my Diploma in Hypnotherapy and Counselling Skills with Distinction. My course is also accredited by the Royal College of Nursing.  I also completed a Diploma in Counselling which I found extremely useful in it's own right, and also to support my hypnotherapy.

I had to find something to help me with ANGER MANAGEMENT, because it was ruining my life. I was stressed and strung out, constantly on edge and ready to have a go at anyone. It only took 3 sessions of hypnotherapy for my whole outlook on life to change. I was amazed at from session one I found I was so much calmer, rationalising, more relaxed about situations which would have made me flare up in the past. Everything in my life has improved, work, my marriage, being around people and I am even better at my hobbies. Learning hypnotherapy has really changed my life and I wish I had done it years ago. JW Walberton

 

When I was told I had BREAST CANCER my world fell apart. I had to face two operations, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. I was terrified, felt it was all hopeless, and depressed. I needed to get on top of my feelings, because it was doing more harm than good to feel like that. I cannot thank Vivienne enough for the mental positivity she gave me. I literally sailed through the operations. Everyone was amazed at my calmness and speed of recovery. I am still seeing her for support, but I know my experiences have been so much easier because I learned hypnosis. DT Funtington

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I SMOKED drugs for twenty five years and was desperate to get off it. My wife hated it and suggested I see Vivienne to stop. Well I cannot believe I stopped immediately and have had no desire to go back to it. It has changed our lives. I had to let others know hypnotherapy works! I was quite sceptical about it, although I really did want to stop. The freedom Vivienne has given me is amazing! Thankyou so much! PR. Middleton on Sea

 

I wanted to contact you to let you know how my life has changed  since my hypnotherapy sessions with you for IBS. Every weekend now my husband and I are out and about, doing lots of things I wouldn’t have dreamt of doing at the beginning of the year. One example was travelling up to London and spending the day with friends up there, that would have never been possible before. We often go out for meals or afternoon tea now and I just wouldn’t have been able to do that before. Every now and again I get a wobble but I’m able to use the relaxation techniques to calm myself back down and carry on – really brilliant! With grateful thanks for helping me to change my life. TV. Goodwood

 

I have been suffering from, IBS and COLITIS for 11 years and it was hard to control. A friend recommended Vivienne who had helped her get her IBS under control and into remission. I had 9 sessions and am coping so much better. The counselling sessions were enlightening and productive. We did lots of work on getting my stress levels right down, and also I had other issues from my past which were preventing me from moving on, which I have now managed to let go of. I can confidently go out and about now and life is so much better for me and my family. SR Rose Green

 

I have been DEPRESSED for many years and had become very PANICKY all the time. I had six counselling sessions with Vivienne, which included a bit of hypnotherapy for relaxation and felt so much better afterwards, more able to cope. Vivienne taught me self hypnosis too which I use every day and it's making a tremendous difference to my life. I wish I had known about this years ago. DT Bracklesham

 

I had a FEAR OF ANESTHETICS and was facing a daunting operation. I had no choice but to have a general anesthetic, so I sought Vivienne's help to overcome it. We did a few sessions on my stress levels which were very high, and then two sessions to cure the phobia. I have had the operation now and am recovering very well. I and my family couldn't believe how calm I was beforehand, and how positive I have been throughout. I am so grateful to Vivienne for her invaluable help. JS. Emsworth

 

 I had a FLIGHT PHOBIA and was planning a family holiday in Florida. The flight phobia was spoiling looking forward to the holiday. I had 4 sessions with Vivienne and successfully conquered my fear of flying. I had a great time,and wasn't concerned at all about being in an aeroplane; so much so, I have decided to apply for a job as Cabin Crew! What better recommendation is that for the success of hypnotherapy with Vivienne to get over your phobia. " LS Chichester

 

I went to Vivienne because I was three stone overweight. She suggested having the HYPNOTIC GASTRIC BAND treatment, and I cannot believe how easy it has been to lose all that weight after years of yoyo dieting! I lost a steady 3/4lb a week. When I reached my target weight she did a session to loosen the band so I could stay the weight I wanted to. I would never have had real surgery for it. I have maintained my goal weight for six months now and am determined to stay this way. My whole life has changed because of this. Vivienne was so positive it would work and she gave me hypnotherapy so I would eat smaller portions and stop snacking. I can honestly say this was the best investment I have ever made. Susan Bognor Regis

 

I came to see Vivienne for WEIGHT LOSS three months ago. I have finally found something which really works for me. I had done so many diets but what Vivienne pointed out to me was that my thinking about food hadn't changed so kept going back to old ways of behaving around food. That's all changed. I've lost 1 stone 2 lbs so far and with Vivienne's help am determined and focussed to continue till I've lost another stone. LC Bognor

 

I had a FLIGHT PHOBIA and was going on a big family holiday to Florida. I just couldn't look forward to it. The thought of the long flights were just petrifying me. I was convinced we were going to crash. I had TWO sessions with Vivienne and she uncovered that I had inherited this fear from my mother. After the first session I felt much better and was able to go shopping for holiday clothes. After the second session I just knew I was going to be ok. Well I just got back and had a lovely time and actually surprised myself at how I managed the flight! Was actually fine, with very little turbulence (which definitely helped). Thank you for your help, and am now looking forward to my holiday next year! LD Emsworth

 

We all know what to do when we have a lot of clutter in our house or garden, or anywhere else around us. It takes a bit of energy,but once it's in the bin, it's gone for good. Then your Then your house/ garden/surroundings look spotless and it feels great. That is how it feels after  just four sessions of hypnotherapy with Vivienne,only that's how I feel about myself. I feel wonderful, because I feel like myself again, without the EMOTIONAL BAGGAGE or inner obstacles or sad memories. I am not a worrier any more, I act on problems. I am not a silent victim any more, I speak up. I am not an anxious person any more, I just do whatever needs to be done. I now talk to anyone without feeling inferior. I even walk more confidently. Hypnotherapy has done so much for me in such a short time. I have only praise for Vivienne and her wonderful work. She is a caring, kind and gentle person. She is genuinely interested in helping people get rid of unnecessary baggage. She takes every care in order to achieve that. AS Chichester

 

When I found out Vivienne could help with MEMORY ENHANCEMENT, I booked some sessions to help me remember parts of my childhood that were just blanks for me. On the fourth session, she did a REGRESSION session to take me back to when I was 9 years old. I am now 54 years old. It was truly amazing. I could remember everything down to the pattern on the carpet of my other's house! What an interesting experience! My memory is much improved generally too. Thanks Vivienne. KJ Oving

 

I visited Vivienne for HYPNOBIRTHING a few weeks in advance of my labour despite a lot of sceptical views surrounding me as I was very nervous about how I would cope with the pain.  When I went into labour I practised the hypnotherapy by listening to Vivienne's CD in the bath and repeating a few phrases which she had provided me with.  My labour didn't go exactly according to plan, I wanted to give birth in a birthing pool but ended up having a 9lb baby via forceps however in spite of this I remained very calm throughout which my birthing partners said was remarkable.  I would definitely recommend hypnobirthing to others and will definately practise it in advance of any future labours myself. LC Chichester

 

I had hypnotherapy before for STOP SMOKING, and it worked for a while, but then I started again. I knew hypnotherapy worked, but was concerned I had gone back to it and was never going to stop permanently. With Vivienne's help, we discovered the reasons behind why a part of me still wanted to smoke, and I was able to address that and stop for good. I have given up for a year now and am confident I will never go back to smoking. T J Bognor Regis

 

I was expecting my first baby and wanted a NATURAL CHILDBIRTH. I was rather anxious about the whole thing and a friend suggested some hypnotherapy. I had 4 sessions with Vivienne, and my son was born a few days after the last session. Vivienne taught me self hypnosis which I used before I left for the hospital, and while I was in labour. My husband and parents couldn't  believe how calm I was throughout the whole difficult birth, and I found to my surprise, I was able to tolerate the contractions, which I never would have done before hypnotherapy, having a rather low pain threshold. I would highly recommend hypnotherapy to help with pain free childbirth. CL Lavant

 

I was advised by a Hospital Crisis Team to seek counselling for my ANGER ISSUES, and found Vivienne through the Hypnotherapy Directory. My marriage was in tatters because I couldn't control my anger. I had seven sessions with Vivienne. We went through where I was at that point, what I had experienced growing up and how that had affected me, and I learned new ways of coping and controlling my anger. I had some hypnotherapy along with counselling sessions which helped me relax, and slowly the fog cleared and I could see how my behaviour had ruined my marriage. I learned new coping strategies, using cognitive behaviour therapy as my new building blocks. I am in a much better place now, and am going about trying to get my marriage back on track. I am so grateful to Vivienne for all her help, at a time when I felt so lost. LW Chichester

 

I have Meniere's Disease, a disease of the inner ear, which started two years ago, and one of the problems I had was CONTROLLING STRESS levels, which is a contributing factor. I decided to seek help from Vivienne, and after a few sessions with her have managed to remain calmer and cope with situations a lot better. A problem that goes hand in hand with Meniere's is Tinnitus, a condition of noises in the ears, and she also helped me with that. I am now in remission again and feeling very well, so hoping this time it continues. I practise the self-hypnosis Vivienne taught me at home now, and I find it definitely helps when I need that extra support. LN Bognor Regis

 

 

 

I have recently been promoted at work and have to do presentations and conduct meetings. I was petrified of PUBLIC SPEAKING. I had 3 sessions with Vivienne and knew even after the first one that something in me had changed. I wasn't getting anxious beforehand, and was even looking forward to being in the spotlight. What a difference this has made to my life. MJ Chichester

 

My HEIGHT PHOBIA was interferring with my work. I had ONE session with Vivienne and was amazed how I had improved the next time I went up high. What a shame I hadn't had the courage to see a hypnotherapist sooner. My work colleagues commented on how much more confident I was. She is very personable and made me feel relaxed in her company." JW Bognor Regis

 

I had some hypnotherapy sessions with Vivienne to help me IMPROVE MY GOLF GAME. I found I was always tense and nervous before a game. She taught me to relax into my game and as a result I played so much better. I am certainly hypnotherapy helped me. I know how good it makes me feel. RB Chichester

 

My daughter was getting married, and I had to make a speech at the reception. I was so nervous about PUBLIC SPEAKING it was making me sick.  After hypnotherapy I was so amazed at how calm I was, even adlibbing in my speech! I would certainly recommend hypnotherapy for any kind of public performance nerves! RP Pagham

 

I have a particularly STRESSFUL JOB and couldn't seem to leave the stress behind. Vivienne's empathic approach very quickly changed the way I deal with problems, and as a result I am a much calmer, stress free person. I wish I had known about hypnotherapy before now instead of suffering for so long. JG Midhurst

 

I was very ANXIOUS ABOUT A JOB INTERVIEW coming up, and knew I wouldn't give a good impression because I was so nervious. I had two sessions with Vivienne which calmed me down so much, and gave me confidence I never knew I had. I was offered the job and now look forward to an exciting career. Hypnotherapy was a great help to me! FE Hunston

 

I had a PHOBIA OF BALLOONS since I was very young, and I was petrified of going anywhere where there may be balloons. I had twin girls last year and wanted to give them a huge 1st birthday party. I plucked up the courage to contact Vivienne and could hardly believe after ONE session, the fear had gone. I just wanted to go straight out and buy balloons, and I did, and I touched them!  It was incredible. My mum cried because she knew how badly my fear had affected me. G.L. Petersfield
