I’m often asked what can hypnotherapy be used to treat and it’s such a difficult question to answer because the answer is just about anything where the subconscious is involved. Sometimes whatever that is doesn’t have an obvious connection to the subconscious so if you’re wondering if hypnotherapy can help you, the answer is most likely yes!

“I found Helen because I had a very poor relationship with food. I absolutely loved sweets and could easily eat a full chocolate bar, and more, in one go
I never left food on my plate and I always had to finish everything to make sure I wasn’t wasting anything. I also obsessively thought about food and tied my self worth to my body.
I had tried every fad diet out there, but they never worked in the long run. But even when they did, I still didn’t feel comfortable in my body and stayed very negative toward myself.
Thanks to the work I’ve done with Helen, I can now enjoy sweets and the foods I love in moderation and sometimes, I even say no to dessert! (yes, this’s possible!). I no longer feel the need to finish every bite on my plate and most importantly I love and appreciate my body just as it is. I know now that I am so much more than how I look.
It’s been two years since I worked with Helen, and I still see the difference. I still listen to the hypnotherapy track and use the techniques she provided. Hypnotherapy didn’t just change my mindset for a short time it truly changed how I think for good.
Thank you so much, Helen!”
