‘Thanks for your help Carys, I came to you seeking an answer to a problem that I have endured for ten years or more. I take part in a group activity that I help to run, during this activity when I take responsibility for the group, I have to stand before up to 30 people and explain what will happen and what risks are involved during the next few hours. I have always had an aversion to public speaking, I get anxious and nervous the evening before, and also on the way to the venue, this has the unpleasant effect making me incontinent, I saw my G.P who recommended that I give up the activity, this I declined to do and so sought the help of Carys at Oaks Hypnotherapy. We had a long consultation, followed a week later by the first session of hypnotherapy, I found this to be a pleasant experience, and on driving home was aware of being more relaxed than I am normally. Days later I visited my autistic grandson, who because of his condition is hyperactive and repetitive, I have always found it stressful to stay with him for any length of time and get very irritable, but I found that I was calm and relaxed, I was able to interact with him and after two hours was still happy in his company. My wife observed that after a shopping trip how different my behaviour was and how I had no complaints about taking her shopping and how relaxed and easy going I was. Finally, having met with my group on three occasions, I was cool, calm and collected, I fulfilled my duties with calmness and confidence, and no nasty surprises. I would recommend anyone who has a problem with anxiety and nervousness to seek help and ask for a consultation at Oaks Hypnotherapy. Thank you again Carys.’ Mr B – Gwent.

‘I had tried to stop smoking for many years with little or no success. I met with Carys for a free consultation and then had two sessions of hypnotherapy. I felt energised after each session and eager to put her work to the test. Success. I haven’t wanted to smoke and the thought of it now repulses me. Thank you so much Carys, you have changed my life. I wish you every success for the future’ LS, Blackwood, Gwent

‘After being involved in an air crash in 1999 it has become progressively harder for me to fly. I hoped that by flying every year it would become easier, but the stress and anxiety only got worse. In 2015 I decided not to fly again, as I could not cope with the feelings of extreme anxiety, which would usually ruin my holiday. That was until my husband and I had to plan our honeymoon. I didn’t want my fear of flying to restrict us, so we went all out and booked a 10 hour flight to Mexico! I was willing to try anything to make flying bearable, so I turned to Oaks Hypnotherapy. I was not convinced that I was lucky enough for hypnotherapy to work for me, but I was determined to give it a go, and I can now say it was one of the best decisions I have ever made! Carys was a fantastic practitioner and tried everything possible to help me. I didn’t feel particularly different after my sessions, but the proof was in the pudding when I arrived at the airport. None of the usual anxiety, shakes, tears and nausea. I felt so in control and went on to complete a 10 hour flight with relative ease. I was so amazed and still can’t quite believe I did it. I was not expecting such drastic results! This has now opened up a whole new world for me and I have Carys to thank for that. If you are considering giving hypnotherapy a go, please do, as it may just change your life.’ KG, Blackwood, Caerphilly

‘I had hypnotherapy to quit smoking, I was smoking 20 a day for 13 years, I had 2 sessions with Carys and haven’t had a cigarette since my 1st session! It works.  One month today smoke free, no substitute! Great service, excellent value for money, no price on life itself, also such a lovely friendly woman, would and have recommended to others, thank you Carys so much x’  AC, Blackwood, Caerphilly

‘My work involves public speaking, and though I tried to manage the stress it caused, I found the nerves just mounted and I was unable to sleep the night before doing it. Dealing with this fear in sessions at Oaks Hypnotherapy meant that I was finally able to treat it as just in a day’s work!’ WB – Cardiff, South Glamorgan.

‘As a student I’ve done better in coursework than exams because I panic in exams. My college helped me by letting me sit exams in a room with just a few others. My mum and dad found out about hypnotherapy. I’d never heard of it but Carys was very sympathetic to the problem and helped me make my exam writing reflect my abilities not my nerves.’ SF – Pontypridd, Mid Glamorgan.

‘A couple of years ago I started drinking. The problems I was having got better but the drinking didn’t. A friend told me about hypnotherapy and what surprised me about the sessions was that they helped me do what I wanted to do, but couldn’t manage on my own. Working with Carys was a life changer.’ EB  – Caerphilly,  Gwent.

‘I decided to have hypnotherapy for a fear of flying which I’ve always had.  I wished I’d done it sooner as after only a few sessions with Carys, I was able to fly off on holiday without a care in the world.  I must admit, I was a little sceptical at first but can honestly say that my fear of flying is now gone.  I’m delighted’ AH – Newport, Gwent.

‘I’d been experiencing intense anxiety for a few years which was starting to affect all aspects of my life.  I contacted Carys and explained how nervous I was about hypnotherapy, which she fully understood.  I had six sessions of therapy with this lovely lady, what a difference she has made. I honestly can’t thank her enough.’ PT – Pontypool, Gwent.

‘Having been unable to give up smoking for many years and trying every remedy on the market, I decided to try hypnotherapy.  On meeting Carys, I felt immediately at ease and relaxed, she is an extremely warm person who is very passionate about what she does.  Thank you so much Carys, I haven’t smoked a single cigarette for six weeks now, and haven’t wanted to, you have changed my life!’ SC – Blackwood, Gwent.
