I reached out to Linda when I had reached the end of my tether with anxiety and IBS. It had taken over my life. Rarely could I leave the house without taking a ridiculous amount of medication just to cope and get through the day. In just a few sessions everything changed… I felt confident, relaxed and more able to trust myself and my body to do what it needed to do. With Linda’s support, in just a couple of short months, I’ve achieved the unthinkable! IBS no longer rules my life, I have much more control and I feel as though I’m living my life normally again. I’m so grateful that I reached out when I did – I just wish I did it sooner!

I visited Coda hypnotherapy after having some traumatic experiences very close together including losing a parent and a miscarriage. The worry, anxiety and stress of these experiences started to seep into my day to day life and my mind would run away with worrying about worst case scenarios happening. I experienced stressful & disrupted sleep, not wanting to leave the house, low confidence, lack of motivation and what felt like a constant state of panic and stress.

I had previously tried counselling but didn’t feel that worked for me.

At my first session, Linda helped to reassure me by educating me on how the mind works and that change was possible.

Linda’s approach and setting was comforting, reassuring and safe. The trance was very calming and I felt in total control.

After each session, I felt ‘lighter’ in my mind. I felt uplifted and positive. I have been able to change my mindset & reframe situations which my mind may have previously catastrophised.

The positive mental approach continued, having a ripple effect by moving into day to day social interaction, physical activity, work and any other change I was experiencing. Enabling me to feel more productive, motivated and comforted.

I would really recommend giving Coda hypnotherapy a try!

Linda has been wonderful. She has really helped me to understand what is going on in my mind and body. I feel so much calmer and able to cope with what life is throwing at me. It’s made a difference to not just me but also my family.

Has changed my life, I think. Without Linda’s help I wouldn’t have overcome my needle phobia at a time when I needed both injections and blood tests.

I can’t recommend Linda highly enough. I initially went to Linda for help with a skin picking habit, however there were bigger underlying issues that I needed help with that were affecting me day to day and I’m not exaggerating when I say her help has changed my life.

I would constantly worry about things that hadn’t happened yet, stew over things that had happened in the past, put too much pressure on myself and expected too much of myself, particularly at work, and causing myself unnecessary stress. I would wake up in the night and it would take me hours to get back to sleep which everything buzzing around my head.

I only worked with Linda for 8 or 9 sessions and my whole outlook has changed. I don’t catastrophise things anymore, I’ve stopped overthinking things, I’m calmer, happier and less anxious. My sleep has improved, with the help of her audio.

And if anything of these old negative thoughts creep back into my head, the logical part of my brain instantly quiets them, she’s the boss now!

Hypnotherapy is not the ‘look into my eyes, look into my eyes’ nonsense you see on TV, hypnotherapy can help you make positive changes in your life that you never thought you’d be able to do.

Thank you for everything Linda.

I was extremely nervous and constantly avoided public speaking and presentations for fear of things going wrong, looking incompetent and being judged. I knew I needed help to overcome the problem if I wanted to succeed in promoting my business, so I approached Linda for help.

I had a few 1-1 online sessions and she instantly put me at ease with her friendly and down to earth personality. She was empathetic and professional and helped me overcome my fears and phobias with hypnotherapy sessions that were calming, relaxing and above all enabled me to overcome my fears, by boosting my confidence and self belief. I was able to present to a small audience, something I had avoided doing for years, due to past bad experiences and judgements, but Linda helped me to move on and put them behind me. Linda explained in detail why we have these anxieties and why and how our brain reacts to them.

I would highly recommend Linda and Coda Hypnotherapy if you are struggling with phobias, fears or stress, insomnia or anything.

Linda has helped me tremendously.  She is so kind, made me feel safe and that I could share anything with her from the very first session.  She helped me with breathing techniques to help my anxiety and this reduced my anxiety levels so much.  I would highly recommend to anyone needing help with anything.

Went to see Linda to see if she could help me with my chronic pain.  She is lovely and explained the way the brain reacts to pain very clearly.  We did some relaxation techniques and I now feel more able to cope and am definitely sleeping better.  Don’t be put off by the word hypnotherapy!!! Give it a go, it might just change your life!!

After years of symptoms of IBS I came to Linda having read about the benefits of Gut Hypnotherapy.  I have tried many things in the past to help, including medication and alterations to diet but nothing helped, in fact my symptoms were getting more painful and I was having more frequent bouts of IBS.  Linda’s scientific background and approach gave me confidence and after just a few weeks I feel I have had a ‘mind reset’, I have significantly fewer and less severe symptoms and I now know IBS doesn’t have to rule my life and what I can do.  I’d definitely recommend Linda to others in my position.
