"Debbie has been supportive, insightful, and easy to talk to. She’s helped me work through some long-term challenges, and I’m grateful for the progress I've made. I’d highly recommended her to anyone needing some support!."

"I was initially a little sceptical about hypnotherapy, but the results have been genuinely impressive and have helped me work through my challenges. Alongside the hypnotherapy itself, the sessions explore how the brain works and include deeper conversations about the issues affecting your life. Debbie offers thoughtful coaching that helps you reframe situations and develop new strategies for approaching them.
Each session also provides a valuable opportunity to step away from the busyness of everyday life, focus on yourself, and fully relax for an hour. I’d highly recommend giving it a try."

"Debbie was very helpful and I would highly recommend her."
D, Google Review, June, 2026
"I contacted Debbie after a prolonged period of work-related stress and burnout. I was struggling with anxiety, overthinking, mental fatigue and situations where my mind would go blank, particularly in meetings and interviews.
I found the combination of solution focused therapy and hypnotherapy very calming, supportive and practical. The recordings between sessions were especially helpful for relaxation, sleep and confidence building.
During the period I was working with Debbie, I attended a successful job interview, which felt significant given the difficulties that had led me to seek support in the first place.
Debbie is warm, professional and easy to talk to, and I appreciated the structured, forward-looking approach. Thank you Debbie!."

"I’ve been having hypnotherapy sessions with Debbie at Great Minds Clinic, and honestly, it’s been life-changing. When I first came to her, I was struggling with health anxiety, burnout, and that classic ADHD overthinking spiral. Social situations felt overwhelming, holidays made me panic, and even planning something lovely – like my son’s birthday – would send me into stress mode.
Working with Debbie has been a complete breath of fresh air. I’ve had plenty of therapy in the past, but it always felt heavy and draining. Hypnosis with Debbie has been the total opposite. Each session feels like a weight lifting off my shoulders. I leave feeling lighter, calmer, and more in control.
The changes have been incredible. I’ve been on holiday and genuinely enjoyed it. I’ve planned a full birthday party for my son without stressing myself into knots. I’m sleeping better, thinking more positively, and feeling more confident day-to-day. The night-time audio has become part of my routine, and I’ll definitely keep checking in with her.
I’m genuinely in such a better place now. Debbie has an amazing way of making the process feel gentle but powerful, and I can’t recommend her enough. If you’re struggling with anxiety, overthinking, or burnout, she’s absolutely worth it."

"I’m so happy with my sessions with Debbie. She is so lovely, always made me feel comfortable and supported from the very start. Working with her has really changed my perspective on things in such a positive way. I feel so much happier, my mind feels clearer, and I’ve been able to let go of negative thoughts, manage my stress so much better, and just feel more balanced and optimistic overall!! Thank you so much. Highly recommend :)"

"Over 6 sessions Debbie helped me address years-long driving anxiety which was starting to really impact my life, both personally and professionally. She took the time to understand where the issue had come from and really helped me to understand how hypnosis could help me, with easy but impactful tasks to do between sessions. Having tried coaching and two separate blocks of advanced driving lessons to address this issue in the past without success, after our sixth session I was able to complete my aim of sharing the driving on a family trip from Manchester to Norfolk and back - I was even a bit disappointed when it was my partner’s turn to take over! I have newfound freedom and would highly recommend Debbie to anyone facing similar anxiety."
L, Google Review, September 2025
"After a stressful year at work, hypnotherapy has given me the toolkit to cope better with stress and to take a different viewpoint on situations. The audio is brilliant for relaxation and allowing me to have a more positive outlook. It's good to educate yourself on positive thinking, and hypnotherapy is very good for an overworked mind."

"Working with Debbie has been such a positive and transformative experience for me. Each session gave me powerful tools to shift my mindset, release old habits and build healthier, more positive ways of thinking. I have noticed a real difference in how I approach challenges in my life. The sessions are calm, supportive and very effective, leaving me with a sense of clarity and confidence I hadn’t experienced before.

"Debbie has really helped me see things through a different lens. She has adapted each session to fit exactly what I need at the time and always has a wonderful, calming energy. I started off our sessions with issues of over eating and feel like I am coming out the other side having grown hugely in self-confidence!"

"For as long as I can remember, the sight or even sound of a wasp would send me into panic mode. It wasn’t just a fear, it was a full body reaction that disrupted summer days and made outdoor moments feel like a minefield. I would constantly avoid situations where I might see wasps, especially beer gardens.
With Debbie’s support, I was guided through relaxation and positive visualisation. I was able to rewire my response to wasps over the course of 3 sessions. My phobic response has been significantly reduced, and I can now be in the same vicinity as a wasp with a sense of calm.
If you’re struggling with a phobia, I would highly recommend you contact Debbie. The results can be life changing. No more avoiding beer gardens for me. Thank you so much Debbie 😊."

"Dear Debbie, I just want to express my appreciation for your solution focused hypnotherapy sessions. The relaxation therapy and the coping mechanisms were, and still are, very helpful. You also helped me realise that the past is made up of good memories, but that the present and the future are of more importance. So, onwards and upwards, with a positive attitude. Once again, thank you for all your help and guidance. Best wishes, I"

"Thank you for all the help and support. I have really benefited from our sessions and now feeling like my old self again"
J, Google Review, August 2025
"Due to a traumatic incident when I was 16, I have for fifty years suffered from a fear of steep slopes and unfenced drops which has led me to avoid multiple experiences when on holiday. This has also affected my ability to drive on steep mountain roads and to be a relaxed passenger when close to and overlooking such drops. In the five months that I have been seeing Debbie, I have gained a much more positive mindset that has enabled me to approach these opportunities more willingly – allowing me for example to walk towards vertiginous viewpoints in Norway without significant trepidation. The self-criticism of my past weaknesses is being replaced by pride in my progress and success. I know that I still have some way to go in firmly embedding this progress, so that I can make the final few steps to these viewpoints without trepidation and support. The investment of my time coupled with Debbie’s extensive skills and experience has been so worthwhile. While I may have been slightly sceptical at first, there have been no gimmicks. An honest and open mind is all that is needed. I look forward to continuing to work with Debbie over the next few months to making the final steps in managing and overcoming my phobia."

"I can't thank Debbie enough and wish I'd known about focused hypnosis 6 months ago. I attended Debbie's clinic for insomnia as I had got to the point where I was not sleeping at all for days and had had various medications that weren't working. Debbie gave me a CD which immediately helped me establish a consistent night routine. Debbie's information about the brain enabled me to understand my insomnia and I am now consistently sleeping and feel like my normal self. I now have the energy and skills to come off my medication."

"Over the last 18 months or so, I had felt anxious, demotivated and lacking in confidence. My sessions with Debbie have helped me immensely. She listened to me and showed me great empathy with all my issues. The therapy sessions and relaxation techniques there in have been a great help, and as a result I now feel more confident and have a positive outlook on life. A truly wonderful experience, which I can fully recommend."

The help provided is very much recommended. many thanks!!"

M, Google Review, March 2025
"I was sceptical about hypnotherapy as I didn't know what to expect. Debbie explained the anatomy of the brain, and how my anxiety was working through my thoughts. I have learnt to start changing my thought processes and thinking more positively. Debbie is kind, helpful and tries her upmost to meet my personal needs. I would recommend her to anyone and continue to use Debbie myself. Trust the process, it takes time and effort, but you will get there. Debbie will guide you all the way"
A, Google Review, February 2025
"My four in-person sessions with Debbie have helped hugely in helping me to gain control over my brain and thinking in relation to my phobia. Debbie's explanation of how the brain functions has proved to be most beneficial in understanding my phobia. The relaxing hypnotherapy, and NLP, have given me the tools to gain control over my behaviour and reactions. A most worthwhile few hours spent, after too many years of being inhibited by my past experiences"
A, Google Review, February 2025
"I started seeing Debbie about six weeks ago. I was finding it very difficult to lose weight due to bad eating habits & lack of willpower. I decided to try hypnotherapy as a starting point with view to moving onto therapy. To say that I’m pleased with the results is an understatement. Bizarrely the sessions never mention food but since starting I’ve now stopped snacking on rubbish and eating inbetween meals. More importantly for me the ‘food noise’ has more or less completely gone. I wish I had done this years ago! As an add on my focus & concentration has improved greatly. I am required to listen to a cd everyday for 30 minutes. Strangely it doesn’t feel like a chore but now feels essential to prevent old habits returning. Did i mention I’ve lost half a stone!!"

H, Google Review, November 2024
"With Great Minds Clinic you are instantly made to feel comfortable and in the hands of a professional who really cares about your particular problem. Debbie has delved into my personal reasons for need hypnotherapy and used a combination of therapy's brilliantly to dramatically improve my anxiety and glossophobia. This has all been done in a sensitive and knowledgeable way, with gradual guidance which has made a lasting and meaningful impact. She is also a lovely person and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who is in need of anxiety management."

"I’ve had social anxiety and fear of blushing for over 10 years. I hated going to the supermarket, ordering food in restaurants, phone calls, back and forth conversations, eye contact, you name it. Since starting sessions with Debbie, I feel like my mindset has changed towards it so much, I am a lot more positive. I can still go red in certain situations but it goes straight away when I use the skills Debbie has taught me and I don’t dwell on it anymore like I used to. I have to keep putting myself in these situations to keep improving but I no longer have a fear of leaving the house and I am happy to socialise which is a massive achievement for me. Thank you :)"

"Hi Debbie, I just wanted to send you a message having returned from my trip to Barcelona yesterday. I have to say that I really felt that the hypnotherapy helped me to face this trip with a great deal more calmness than I would have expected normally. I faced the outward and return trips to the airports without anticipatory anxiety and felt surprisingly calm, despite the busyness and queues. I listened to the audio several times, including while I was there and on the day of departure. It really helped to hear your calming voice and I shall continue to use this fabulous resource in the weeks and months to come, and particularly in the lead up to Greece. I no longer feel that air travel is something I cannot tackle and I was also quite proud of the fact that I was calm throughout the trip. I cannot thank you enough for all your wonderful help and support in preparing me for this trip Debbie and I have already recommended you to two people, one of whom being my son, and my daughter-in-law is also quite a fearful flyer and can get quite stressed generally, so I think some hypnotherapy might also be of help to her. All the very best and thanks again xx"

"Thanks very much for all your help and guidance. It’s really helped with my anxiety and in helping me feel and think so much more positively. Explaining what happens in the brain and the different areas there has helped me understand why I was feeling like I was. The hypnotherapy really worked. It has helped me feel calm, relaxed and positive again. Thanks again. I’ll certainly contact you in the future with any support I need."

"Debbie has really helped me to manage my longstanding insomnia. With her calm soothing manner, she is easy to talk to and explained just what is happening in the brain when sleep won’t come. After a few sessions of online hypno-therapy and listening to her relaxing audio recording I feel much more positive about sleep and no longer obsess about it. I would have no hesitation in recommending the Great Minds Clinic.

"I have been undergoing a course of hypnotherapy with Debbie and I can honestly say that this has been a fantastic experience and I am starting to see some real changes in my life experiences and I fully recommend Great Minds Clinic. I was curious about hypnotherapy and wasn't sure if it would work for me but Debbie's sessions are very informative and enlightening and changes are happening! Recommended."

"When I first met with Debbie, I was struggling to walk on wet and slippery surfaces due to a fear of falling. My life was becoming severely affected by my anxieties. Debbie was extremely professional and reassuring. Within a couple of sessions, I was able to face my fears and my walking improved dramatically. I am now back to normal which is testament to Debbie’s counselling and hypnotherapy skills. Debbie’s manner is very friendly and her method is extremely effective. I would have no hesitation in recommending Debbie’s services to anyone who is struggling with problems or anxieties. "
J, Google Review, April 2024
"Debbie has been great. I saw her for a fear of flying that I gradually developed. I had 4 sessions before a 12 hour flight and my anxiety was greatly reduced. Her teaching has not only helped me control my fear but it has also helped me so much in my general life. I take her teachings forward in my everyday life which helps me feel like a generally happier version of myself who has a much higher resilience to stress and has a very strong ability to see the positives in most situations."
A, Google Review, October 2023
"When I initially met Debbie I was feeling very low, life in general was a real uphill struggle and I couldn't see anything in a positive light. I wasn't able to put my finger on why I had these feelings. Through chatting to Debbie about how the brain works, positive thinking and some hypnotherapy my outlook on life has improved dramatically. I feel much happier, have much more energy and feel I am in control of my life again. I can't really explain how but I believe Debbie somehow managed to very gently tap into my subconscious helping me to make subtle changes which have helped me to gain greater self confidence and self esteem. I am now looking forward to the future once again. Thank you."

"Having an extensive knowledge of diet and exercise, but still being unable to achieve my goals, I knew there must be something else happening deeper within me that I wasn't aware of. I didn't understand why I was consciously sabotaging my diet when I so desperately wanted to lose the weight. I met Debbie and I immediately knew she was the person who would be able to help me achieve my goals. She listened to me and appeared to understand exactly how I felt. We looked at the brain and the likely cause of why I was returning to my old patterns of behaviour. For the first time, I started to understand myself a whole lot better and started to believe that I could actually achieve anything I wanted to. This enabled me to make the positive changes to my diet and exercise that remain with me today. I am on the path to being who I have always wanted to be. My only regret is that I didn't do this sooner."
K, Google Review, October 2023
"I contacted Debbie after reading several success stories from her clients who used hypnotherapy to help control IBS symptoms. I have suffered from anxiety related silent reflux since the beginning of Covid and hoped that I too could achieve similar results. I was a little sceptical at first, not being sure quite what to expect from the sessions, but I am pleased to say that Debbie has helped me to achieve better results than I could ever have imagined. Debbie uses a mix of science based explanation to describe and embed what is happening in the brain and how this affects the body, but critically, also how to teach the brain and body how to learn new ways of behaving. The hypnotherapy itself is amazing, honestly making me the most relaxed I have ever been. I’m pleased to say that both my reflux and anxiety symptoms have almost completely dissipated after the several hypnotherapy sessions that I have had and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Debbie to others in a similar situation."

"Absolutely wonderful. I saw Debbie in relation to overcoming a panic attack on a previous flight before a set of upcoming long haul flights, plus general anxiety. She immediately "got" me and our sessions were so helpful and effective from the beginning. I've now made the flight and all went perfectly so I have no hesitation in recommending Debbie. Thank you so much"

"Debbie is professional and provides informative and helpful guidance to achieve your goals. I would highly recommend her services."
H, Google Review, July 2023
"I came to Debbie initially with issues sleeping through the night due to several stresses in my personal and work life. Between talking issues through on a one-by-one basis, techniques on managing my own mindset, and the hypnotherapy we made it much more manageable. I went from 3-5 nights a week where I would maybe get 3 hours of sleep to be able to sleep through pretty much all the time. It’s been 2 months since I had my last session, but I still use the techniques and reminders and, even though life still brings stresses, I am able to sleep and manage them much better. There have been things that have come up in these last 2 months that would have caused me real issues 12 months ago so I am really grateful to Debbie."

"Debbie's like your own personal coach who enables you to work out and understand what's going on in your life and helps you formulate a plan to reach your desired goals. There's no rush, and you do what you want at your own pace. I can honestly say I have been more productive and 'go getting' in the last few months than I have been in the last few years, and that's all thanks to her. I've also ticked off a few things that I was dreading doing and didn't think twice about doing them. She's helped me alleviate my fears and conquer my phobias, and I can't thank her or recommend her enough. She's also fantastic with exam stress/management too."

"When I first met Debbie (on Zoom) I was suffering from acute anxiety. This was causing panic attacks and affecting all areas of my life, especially interacting with people, driving, going out and eating. I found Debbie professional but with a friendly approach. At no time did she pressure me but let me go at my own pace. She was supportive. The audio she provided was helpful and I still use it now. She explained what was happening in the brain and how it caused physical symptoms, which I found very helpful. Over the weeks I built up positivity and coping strategies to deal with the times when I do still get anxious. I feel more in control of my life again and can mix with family and friends, drive and go out when I want to. I would recommend anyone to contact Debbie, she certainly helped me."

"When I booked in with Debbie during the pandemic I was experiencing a lot of anxiety when we were released from lockdown and trying to adapt to new ways of living. I found it hard when travelling to new places and going out anywhere in public, even back to the office. With Debbie's techniques that I practised daily, within a few weeks I was already feeling like my old self, my confidence was starting to grow and I was having more restful sleep. I can't thank Debbie enough for all her kindness and patience at a time when I felt very lost."

"I worked with Great minds clinic and Debbie when I was at a difficult time in my life. The communication from the company was excellent and the service provided to me from Debbie was exceptional. I felt listened to, understood and Debbie spoke and treated me with empathy, which is what I needed at that time. I had counselling and hypnotherapy and both were exceptional. Highly recommended.

"After failing my first driving test (of only three attempts) to become a driving instructor, due to severe nerves, that literally just consumed me. I utilised Debbie's services. I can honestly say the change in my mindset and how I approached the test following a session with Debbie made all the difference. It was a polar opposite experience than my first attempt and I really do doubt that I would have successfully passed if it wasn't for her help. Can't recommend this service highly enough for anyone that needs to get through any situation where nerves may be affecting your performance. You won't regret it!"

"I can't thank Debbie enough for all the help she has given me during my recent spell of anxiety/depression. She is an excellent counsellor with a wide variety of experience.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Debbie if you are looking for a counsellor to help you."

"Debbie has helped me more than I can say and cannot recommend her enough. I started seeing Debbie after finding out I was pregnant and feeling extremely anxious and panicked about hospitals, doctors and medical tests. This has been an ongoing problem for me and something that I didn't think could be helped. In only a few months Debbie has helped me more than I can express. My perspective has completely changed and I am able to calmly deal with everything that my pregnancy has involved, and I know that I have developed a positive attitude towards medical anxieties for the future. Debbie is very calm, kind and empathetic and being able to talk to her about my anxieties has been a hugely positive and helpful experience. I am extremely thankful to have found Debbie and for everything she has done to help me!"

"I came to see Debbie with a couple of phobias, desperate to get them sorted to be able to get on with my life. The first one we looked at was that I just couldn't be a passenger in a car, it was like a white knuckle ride everytime!! We spent a couple of weeks talking about and trying to understand the brain along with hypnotism. I wouldn't say I was a sceptic but I didn't understand how it could work...but it did!! After 4 sessions I was due to go away for a few days and was all set to go by train. Debbie talked me through it, with lots of visualisation and exercises and I just got in the car and my partner drove all the way there with no panic or white knuckles. I can't thank her enough and thoroughly recommend you contact her if you need any help!! She is so calming and puts you at ease from the first session. Thank you Debbie"

"Debbie was incredible. I went to her in a bad way mentally, really concerned about my career. She helped me turn my thinking around and in just a few months I felt so much better, with a better mindset to take on the world. I'm not saying I'll never need help again, but if I do, I know exactly where to go."

"Hi Debbie, I hope you don't mind me emailing you. I just had a call with my manager and she was saying since January how much I've grown in confidence and really taken the reins in my role and because of this she's given me a 15% raise in my salary. I didn't ask for a raise, she just believes I need to be paid more for all my hard work. The first thing I thought of when I heard this news was reaching out to you and saying thank you because honestly without your help and guidance I wouldn't be in this position. Our sessions were so helpful and I just wanted to thank you again for this. It has helped me so much. I'm so grateful I went with you for therapy! I feel so lucky. Thank you again.

"I just wanted to let you know that my race went extremely well. I enjoyed every km I ran with a massive smile on my face. I never thought I could run 100km in under 10 hours and I did. I came in first of the women at 9hrs48min and 6th of the general (men & women) It was amazing as I didn't let anything get to me. I still can't believe what a race I did... But what I do believe is that when I put my mind to it and not let anything pull me down I can do anything and I just wanted to say thank you for all your help"

"I can't thank Debbie enough. I went to Debbie as my anxiety was extremely high from work and had no self-confidence from this. While in each session we talked through difficult things, I looked forward to my session every week because I knew I would feel so much better afterwards. Debbie is so kind, empathetic and really listens. Unlike previous experiences, I am still using the tools and techniques Debbie taught me to make sure my anxiety is under control."

"I reached out to Debbie after years of struggling with anxiety and panic disorder. It became so bad that I could no longer do everyday tasks like visiting the supermarket or going to work. I was concerned that I’d never be able to live a normal life again. Debbie helped me identify why this was happening and essentially retrained my brain to eradicate negative thoughts and behaviours. In just a few short sessions I found myself able to do the things I couldn’t do for a long time. Not only have I not had a panic attack for some time, I am now more confident and excited for the future. Debbie is fantastic and I would certainly recommend. Thank you for your help!"

"Being in receipt of Debbie's expertise, over Zoom, has enabled me to feel calmer, more centred, feel proud of my achievements and embrace challenges as opportunities. Debbie delivers her therapy in such a kind, compassionate and skilled way that she has enabled me to minimise self-doubt and old belief systems (which were toxic and completely overwhelming me) and empowered me to rebuild my self-confidence in my skills and abilities within my career as an NHS Health Professional and my performance world. Thank you, Debbie, from the bottom of my heart.

"Debbie is fantastic. I came to Debbie as I’d heard great things about hypnosis and wanted to try it for my anxiety. Debbie gave me great insights into the brain and how it works. We then developed my reframing of situations and it has helped me greatly. Along with the sessions I was given an audio to do in my own time and I still use this. I would highly recommend giving it a go"

"I have tried different talking therapies in the past and I admit I was apprehensive of this type of therapy. The anxiety and phobias I have controlled my life, stopping me from living, so I thought there was no harm in trying hypnotherapy. The sessions have been so beneficial to me and I have seen a change in myself, I am a lot less stressed and events that would have previously caused panic attacks and emotional breakdowns I can now easily brush off. Not only feeling better in myself I have managed to put the work to test with nervous flying after having a traumatic flight, I did have some doubts that a panic attack would appear however I completely enjoyed the long distance travelling something I have never been able to before and without any medication. I would really recommend Debbie as she is easy to speak to and so calming. Each session focuses on positivity and learning about the brain and how it works - which has really given me an understanding and helped me feel better about my diagnosed conditions. I come away from each session motivated and relaxed. I am excited for further sessions that I am planning to use for different challenging areas of my life"

"After recently taking part in some therapy sessions with Debbie, of the Great Minds Clinic, I can highly recommend the benefits they bring. Debbie is patient and non-judgemental; kind - without being patronising. She is professional in her approach whilst maintaining a relaxed and friendly, supportive atmosphere during sessions. She is a good listener and gives one the ‘space’ and resources to explore any issues and problems, gradually opening the way to new perspectives and resolutions. At no time does she ‘tell you what to do’, rather she ‘encourages and enables’, helping and allowing clients to grow in confidence and ‘steer their own course’. Thank you for your help Debbie"

"I had a really positive experience with hypnotherapy. Unlike with other therapies I've tried in the past, hypnotherapy helped me focus on positivity and optimism for the future rather than the past. It also helped with my self esteem and taught me some amazing techniques for helping with my anxiety (ones that I still use frequently now that I have finished the therapy). Overall, it was a lovely relaxing experience"

..."A few months ago I was completely consumed with anxiety, feeling caught in a loop of worry that I couldn’t seem to get out of. I had reached a point where my anxiety was having such a destructive impact on my home life, I had no confidence and felt incredibly low. I decided I need to do something. I reached out to Debbie and it was one of the best things I have done. After my initial consultation I already felt as if a weight had been lifted. My sessions were tailored to my needs and Debbie allowed me to be open and honest and was incredibly approachable. This process has been invaluable to myself. I looked forward to my sessions as Debbie has a way of retraining your thought process and provides relaxation techniques that really work. Over time my confidence has increased, I’m much calmer, I recognise my negative thoughts and am able to deal with them in a more rational manner. I can honestly say this form of therapy with the approach Debbie takes has helped me, I feel more myself and much happier. If you are uncertain whether to try this, please do. Feeling anxious can feel all consuming, lonely, terrifying and bring out fears of dread and despair. I hope others will benefit like I have"

"Talking through my week, and setting goals has helped me feel less anxious and more confident in tense situations. I have learnt how to deal with my heightened emotions. Within a few weeks I felt much better about every second of my day. I would thoroughly recommend your sessions"

"When I approached Debbie during the lockdown, my anxiety levels were through the roof. I was struggling to sleep, I was exhausted because I couldn't switch off from obsessive, negative thoughts and I just wanted some peace and to enjoy life. Debbie was patient, warm and calm, which helped me feel at ease from the first conversation we had, and the therapy started to work from day one. Debbie made me realise that the positive power is in me, and she helped me unlock this. Now I am sleeping over 8 hours a night, have no negative thoughts, feel stronger mentally and am enjoying better relationships with others. Life is fun again! Thanks Debbie"

"So I was apprehensive of seeking help from anyone to be honest, but I read all the reviews of Debbie's work and booked a session. At the time I was stressed to the hilt, worrying about my career, future, finance and it was impacting my family. But after only a few sessions with Debbie, I have my confidence, drive fully back, and more importantly an inner calm I didn't have before. I can't recommend her work highly enough, and wouldn't hesitate recommending Great Minds to anyone ! "

"I cannot recommend Debbie highly enough. Most of my adult life I've struggled with anxiety, depression and an eating disorder. Although I was doing better generally, there was a piece of the puzzle missing that meant if I encountered any kind of stress, I'd go right back to those unhealthy eating patterns and panic attacks. Debbie helped me understand why and, more importantly, gave me the tools to stop those recurring patterns. I was sceptical, I'll admit, but I can't deny that it's like something has 'clicked' in my head. I don't comfort eat, I'm going to the gym more often (and enjoying it!) And when I feel sad, I do not go into a self-hating spiral. There will always be ups and downs in life, but I now feel more able to cope with them. Thank you for all your help, Debbie"

"Out of all the areas I covered with Debbie; it was the understanding of how the brain works, positive thinking, and hypnosis (including driving specific sessions), that helped me the most. Also the audio for listening to at home. I am now feeling less stressed generally, I have increased confidence with my ability to do motorway driving. I would recommend to friends and family because of the method, the professionalism, and the value for money"

"I am more positive, feel calm and no longer feel like a weight is being carried. I am able to deal with situations calmly. I wish I had had hypnotherapy before. I cannot believe the difference in myself. I have suffered for years with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and had numerous other therapy services. Nothing as worked as well as hypnotherapy. Debbie is very calming and I have been telling all of my friends how wonderful I feel"

"I cannot thank Debbie enough for all the help she provided in the past few months. Due to stress experienced at work, I developed a severe social anxiety associated with panic attacks, that forbade me to go outside of my house for simple activities such as a a walk in the park, grocery shopping, driving or tram journeys to work. The simple thought of going to the office and having meetings was absolutely frightening. My sleep deprivation and lack of appetite made me lose weight even though I was already too slim. Debbie's help was amazing, her hypnotherapy and counselling sessions helped me understand the anxiety process very well, she taught me how the brain works, which are the coping mechanisms and how important positive thinking is. The audio I listened to every night helped improving my sleep, the sessions released the constant pressure I felt in my body, her gentle and soothing voice made me feel secure and confident that everything is under control, which in turn made me feel calm and relaxed. After only a few sessions I was able to get back to my daily routine and even cope extremely well at a very demanding job.I would highly recommend Debbie at Great Minds Clinic as her sessions have had such a positive impact on my life in such a short period of time!"

"Counselling was the most useful to me as I was able to go through events and gain some clarity. The sessions have helped me think much more positively and to deal with my anxieties. I found it a very positive, useful experience and it was a safe space for me to talk. I would recommend Great Minds Clinic as by doing both counselling and hypnotherapy I have been able to overcome past challenges and start to train my mind to be more positive to move forward"

"I have found understanding how the brain works to create anxiety, the trance work and the goal setting most useful. What has changed for me is that I feel less anxious, and more relaxed about situations that would have previously caused me anxiety. Relationships (both at work and at home) have massively improved. I would recommend Debbie at Great Minds Clinic because the sessions have had such a positive impact on my day to day life. The sessions are manageable and the audio is really easy to fit into my routine"

"I chose hypnotherapy for anxiety and overthinking / panicking about issues in my life. It is so easy over the years to fall in to a pattern of feeling low but thinking you can’t do anything about it. Debbie was nice to deal with, very calm and explained everything in detail. After the sessions I definitely had a brighter outlook and I’m determined to not fall back in to the old habits. I now feel more positive and am putting things in to perspective, not reverting to thinking worst case scenario all the time. It helps to put you on a different path and slowly change your way of thinking"

Hypnotherapy helped me to understand that a lifetime of negative thinking was making things harder for me and reinforcing poor self-esteem. Hypnotherapy helped me to be more positive and challenge automatic negative thoughts. I feel more positive and more confident now. I would recommend to friends or family"

After a stressful year at work, hypnotherapy has given me a tool to better cope with stress, and take a different viewpoint on situations. The audio is brilliant for relaxation and allowing me to have a more positve outlook. It is very good for an overworked mind, and I now feel more relaxed, calm and can deal with stress better"
