Testimonials

I was suffering with stress and depression (not unusual these days) and had inwardly become numb and exhausted with everything around me. Sonia was instrumental in my journey back to ‘day to day life’. I was sceptical at first, but soon found my hourly sessions compellingly interesting, during which Sonia, very understandingly, used a mix of psychotherapy and hypnotherapy – not an out of control hypnotised state, more a calm, relaxed, peaceful, positive state of mind. I slowly began to ‘see’ and ‘feel’ again. I was taught certain coping and empowering mechanisms, which still come into play in my daily life when times get difficult.

Sonia is passionate and caring, and has found her perfect niche in what she does, and because of this, is able to help many sufferers of varying of issues, to regain their confidence and happiness

Had around 10 sessions with Sonia.. she’s is very friendly.. and immediately makes u feel at ease… she has been amazing and has made a real difference to our lives.. I can’t thank her enough!!! highly recommended.

Sonia is friendly and approachable. When working with her I am calmer and much more focused on my goals and my anxiety subsided. Highly recommend this lovely lady.

Had my last phobia session two weeks ago, can’t express what a difference Sonia has made, was sceptical to start with but from the start, listening to the cd or youtube, I started to sleep better, anxiety levels lowered, now I can join in with the family and be relaxed and enjoy our time together, thank you Sonia, can’t recommend you enough xx

I recently had hypnotherapy sessions with Sonia to help with my anxiety regarding my driving test. I have previously failed my test twice and I was really nervous about my upcoming test. I was a bit hesitant about hypnotherapy as I wasn’t too sure if it would work for me but after my few sessions I could tell such a difference in my confidence and I passed my driving test the day after my final session with Sonia!
The hypnotherapy room is such a lovely relaxing space and Sonia is so lovely and friendly I felt calm and at easy and I really enjoyed my hypnotherapy experience. Its really helped me and I would highly recommend Sonia!
Thank you Sonia for all your help!

Sonia is very professional. From the start Sonia made me feel welcome and safe. Sonia’s treatment room is relaxing and a place where you feel secure, to explore your primate thoughts. I can honestly say that I have felt the difference of my anxiety levels and cannot thank Sonia enough for working her magic. Highly recommend.

Where to start, when I first started seeing Sonia I had anxiety issues maybe not as bad as some others that suffer but bad enough to prevent me from relaxing or switching off after work, not sleeping very well was an issue as well but from the moment we met for our consultation to talk through my problems she put me at ease straight away with a warm welcome relaxed environment I was able to open up about me and we were able to put a plan together to start getting me back on track, i say me as when your see Sonia you are the sole focus and that for me helps you feel comfortable and speeds up progress. I never thought I was a negative thinking person but after a few sessions with Sonia it was clear I didn’t think as positive as I thought but now focusing on positives not negatives has had a massive impact on my life no matter what comes your way there’s always a positive there. the YouTube audio has made a big difference as well it enables me to relax before falling asleep helping me have that restful sleep and wake up feeling as though I’ve slept well without a doubt I would recommend Sonia to anyone who needs help, solution-based hypnotherapy is the way forward don’t sit at home wondering should I get in touch do it you won’t regret it.

Whilst continuing with the daily radiotherapy treatment, this morning I have had the pleasure of my third consecutive hypnotherapy session with the lovely Sonia Swaby SF Hypnotherapist sonswaby@hotmail.co.uk.

Hypnotherapy makes me think of Paul McKenna and the T.V series “back in the room” I mean why would I want to do that? Bark like a dog or reveal some dark ugly secret I have in my subconscious!? I’d rather not!

Hypnotherapy is a complementary therapy for relaxation, stress anxiety reduction & many other mental health concerns. Sonia is helping me and talking to me, explaining how my body had had a shock, helping me understand my emotions and regain control and positivity during this difficult time. During hypnosis, I remain totally conscious and aware of my surroundings. 

It is with great passion that Sonia believes hypnosis will make my mind more open to new and positive ways of thinking, acting and feeling.
After just a few sessions I can feel something changing, I’m giving in to relaxation in trace, laid down on a relaxing couch and … I really like this place I go too.

Whatever I’m doing, it’s for me and my wellbeing. If it gives me comfort and helps me feel more relaxed & come to terms with the physical and emotional effects of breast cancer then I’m embracing it!

Thank you Sonia for helping me.
