“As a younger child, my daughter developed a fear of needles and medical procedures which would cause her to become completely overwhelmed by her feelings and struggle to be able to be treated. When the orthodontist recently confirmed that she’d need to have some extractions, I knew that I would have to get her some professional help. I’d seen Jackie’s FB page online and having had the pleasure of working with her many years ago, knew that her bubbly, warm personality would immediately put my daughter at ease. Having reconnected, Jackie and I exchanged some emails so she could begin to build a picture of my daughter’s needs and then we attended three face-to-face sessions with her. After the first one, my daughter came away with some breathing techniques and an exercise she could start to use straight away, as well as an understanding of how it was possible to rewire her brain to change her physical and emotional responses to certain triggers; this knowledge in itself was very empowering for her. My daughter’s optimism was well placed as by the end of her course of treatment, she said she “wasn’t that bothered” by the thought of her tooth extractions and when the day came to go to the dentist, she was a little nervous (who wouldn’t be?!) but was calm, collected and able to see it through.
I’d highly recommend Jackie – she has made a huge difference to my daughter who believes that she wouldn’t have been able to have her extractions had it not been for the hypnotherapy she’d received. The techniques Jackie has given her, coupled with the knowledge that change is possible, will be things that my daughter can apply to other areas of her life, making these sessions a very worthwhile investment..

“I came to see Jackie basically at rock bottom and some.
The first session calmed me right down. Just talking to Jackie is calming as she is a very easy person to talk with. Initially I just came to calm myself down ,not knowing I had anxiety as I didn’t really know what it was until Jackie diagnosed it and started dealing with it straight away. Then the next session she dealt with a on/off depression I’d had for 30 years and dealt with it in one session. Then she dealt with a few other problems and basically turned my life around 180 Not just problems but areas that needed strengthening. I can’t thank her enough
She’s also taught me how to change and build a new life that I wanted but thought I would never be strong enough to get it.
Very calming and clever lady

“A friend recommended Jackie to me at Waking Hypnotherapy after I had tried everything possible to help improve my mental health & anxiety issues. I have to say from the first time of meeting Jackie she filled me with positive thoughts & techniques that have brought me out of a very dark place. She has taught me to understand & find ways to cope with my issues. I cannot praise Jackie enough as she has turned my life around.”
“What can i say! Jackie is amazing. I suffer from extreme anxiety and panic attacks, tried every home remedy there is. My last option was medication, which i was nervous about. I happen to have come across Jackie via Facebook. Gave her a message and with in a few hours had my appointments booked ready for hypnotherapy. This was all new to me and Jackie made me feel so comfortable and relaxed, even over the internet (covid rules.) I just want to thank Jackie for bringing my old self back, my anxiety is more or less gone and haven’t had a panic attack in a month! which is huge considering i was having them every other day.
Jackie thank you so so so much, i appreciate it!
Totally recommend.”

“Feel a lot less anxious and relaxed dealing with my fear of spiders. No longer waking up with panic attacks thinking they are in the bed. Would recommend!”
“I have suffered from Acrophobia (fear of heights) for at least 60 years, to the extent that all I needed to do was think about being up somewhere high (like a tall building) and I would go giddy and feel anxiety. I needed 2 sessions with Jackie and now I can climb up a 5-metre ladder. I still cannot run up one like a window cleaner, but I can stay up there for some time and complete out the task. It is also getting better each time I try. I used to have to go around bridges, which may have meant loads of miles and time added to a journey. Honestly, Jackie has done a wonderful job in unscrewing my head wiring. I am worried in case she puts me under and makes me start to like Coronation Street! Seriously, I have tried Hypnotherapy before, to give up smoking, but it never worked or felt like it would. I was a serious sceptic and must have been a real challenge for Jackie, but she has cured me of a long-standing fear of heights. If she can sort me out, then there are no limits for her abilities. Thoroughly Recommended.”
Thoroughly recommend Jackie to anyone. Really helped me change my mindset on weight loss, with just a few sessions I had made so many changes in my diet and lifestyle without even realising it. We also worked on some of my mental health issues and noticed positive results in just one session.
I started seeing Jackie to address my unhealthy reliance on food and its apparent control over me – I was definitely a ‘live to eat person’. To say Jackie changed my life is no exaggeration, after 40+ years of bad eating habits I have completely changed, Jackie has rewired my brain. After our sessions together I have not turned to food once in times of emotional turmoil. For the first time in years I have crisps and chocolate in the house without the need to eat it all! I cannot thank Jackie enough for her brilliant work, she is an excellent hypnotherapist, who listens, adapts and completely understood and accepted me without judgement. I cannot recommend Jackie enough for any changes to life you may like to make.
I have OCD, anxiety issues and phobias- all of which Jackie has helped me with immeasurably!
Jackie has made herself available whenever I’ve needed her advice or support and tailored every single session to my exact needs at the time. Our sessions started during lockdown when life didn’t feel too great, but Jackie immediately made me feel utterly at ease: whether it be on Zoom or in person at her new private therapy room. I feel totally safe in her care and look forward to our sessions, as I know I will always leave feeling like we have made progress! I honestly cannot recommend Jackie highly enough!

“We saw Jackie over zoom due to Lockdown for my 9 year old son Charlie’s button phobia, which he’s struggled with his whole life and which had got progressively worse over the last few months. Jackie was friendly and warm from the outset and great at putting Charlie at ease. We have definitely seen improvements since the sessions and Charlie doesn’t seem so pre occupied with his fear of buttons and a lot less calmer about it in general. Charlie was also showing some small signs of ocd traits which have also greatly improved. Would definitely recommend Jackie for Hypnotherapy sessions with children and adults whether over zoom or in person.”
I have had 2 sessions with Jackie to help with arthritis pain and fibromyalgia, it genuinely has helped me. She has also given me self help techniques to help my progress.
Would thoroughly recommend Jackie, she’s so lovely and makes you feel at ease straight away ❤️❤️xxx

“I have had 6 sessions with Jackie so far and each one has been different. Each session had a different focus and were clearly well planned and structured. The experience of hypnosis was, for me, quite intense but left me with feelings of relaxation and calmness. The things I have leant about myself though hypnosis along with the strategies Jackie has taught me have made a significant difference to me. Hypnosis is a learning process, understanding your own thoughts and feeling, and how you react to them, it has given me tools which I can now practice and continue to use to improve my own well being.”
