Success stories

I came to Lorna after struggling with anxiety, and hypnotherapy has made such a difference.

She’s knowledgeable, approachable, and instantly put me at ease. The sessions helped me feel calmer, more confident, and better able to manage day-to-day life. Highly recommend!

I can wholeheartedly recommend Lorna as a coach who can help you discover what's most important for you and then guide you towards reaching your goals.

Lorna's coaching has given me the support I needed to move forward in my career with clarity and confidence. She helped me focus on what's most important during a period when I was building my business and also experienced significant health challenges.

She showed empathy for my experiences and didn't shy away from challenging me on my beliefs. After each session I had a clear plan of my next steps which I could put into action straight away.

I really wasn’t really sure what to expect before starting the hypnotherapy, but I found each session so relaxing and calming, it was so good to let my mind relax!
Lorna is so lovely and really reassuring so put me at ease straight away. I liked that her sessions were about looking forward, and I always left each session feeling very relaxed and peaceful.
I have definitely noticed a huge improvement in my anxiety and would absolutely recommend Lorna to anyone considering hypnotherapy.

My sessions with Lorna have helped my anxiety and overthinking so much. My sleep is so much better and I'm not worrying and obsessing and replaying things like I used to. I really looked forward to my sessions in the end and I feel really happy with where I am now. Thank you!

I first met Lorna at a time when I was feeling very low, negative, and quite disillusioned with life. It took me a long time to admit I needed help (something I probably found even harder as a man) but from the very beginning, she put me at ease and created such a calm, supportive space.
After just a few sessions, I noticed a real shift — I felt lighter, more positive, and much better equipped to handle everyday worries and anxieties.
Hypnotherapy with Lorna has genuinely changed the way I think and feel, helping me move towards a happier, more positive outlook. I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone considering giving it a try.
