Testimonials
What people often say about working with me
People come to this work at very different points in their lives, and for very different reasons.
What they tend to have in common is a desire to feel understood, not pushed and to experience change that feels natural rather than forced.
Here are a few reflections from people I’ve worked with. All testimonials are shared anonymously.
Confidence and Emotional Regulation
Amy
Before working with Lesley, I was struggling with my digestion, over-checking my phone and a lack of confidence when showing up on social media. It felt frustrating and depleting day to day.
The sessions were relaxed and supportive, and I felt completely understood. Even in the first session, I noticed a physical change and a shift in how my body feltSince working together, I feel far more confident showing up on social media. My digestion feels more settled, checking my phone has reduced noticeably, and I feel more confident trusting myself.
I’d encourage anyone unsure about working with Lesley to try. The work feels focused and effective, and the changes have had a very positive impact on my life.
Regaining a Sense of Control
Anonymous
After just one hour of working with Lesley, I felt a noticeable sense of relief as long-held emotional weight began to ease. I was surprised by how impactful that first session felt, given how long I’d been carrying some of these patterns.
In later sessions, we focused on maintaining this calmer, steadier state. Lesley’s approach felt gentle and supportive, helping the changes settle in a way that felt natural rather than forced.
I now feel lighter, more centred and better equipped to handle challenges as they arise. What once felt overwhelming now feels far more manageable.
I would recommend Lesley to anyone wanting to move beyond long-standing emotional patterns and feel more at ease in themselves.
Fear and Phobic Response
Susan
thank you for my Zoom session with Lesley during lockdown. It feels strange to remember how emotional I was at the time, but also good to have let things go.
I now feel calm when I think about situations that would previously have made me anxious, including being at the White Cliffs of Dover.
To test this, I watched videos of the glass walkway at the Grand Canyon and a glass bridge in China. I checked my heart rate on my Fitbit and noticed very little change, which felt like a real shift for me.
I now feel positive about how I’ll cope with heights in the future.
Follow-up: Some time later, I travelled to Dubai and found myself looking out from the top of the Burj Khalifa without the fear I once had.
Emotional Processing and Release
Vicky
Since our session, I’ve felt a release of a lot of stuck emotion. My body feels lighter and more settled, and I notice myself smiling far more often.
I no longer feel the same emotional charge around some difficult experiences from my past and can look back on them with more clarity.
Lesley’s calm, supportive approach helped me let go of old patterns without pressure.
Thank you, Lesley. I’m very grateful.
Sleep and Night-Time Anxiety
Debbie
There has been a major change in my sleep. If I wake up, I can now turn over and go straight back to sleep without any problem. Thank you.
Performance and Exam Anxiety
Calum
I found my online sessions very helpful for managing anxiety around exams. The three exams I had during this time went smoothly. I had no sleepless nights beforehand and felt much calmer throughout.
Emotional Eating Patterns
Paula
I’ve worked with several hypnotherapists over the years without success. I didn’t notice much change.
My session with Lesley felt different. I was deeply relaxed but stayed aware throughout, and the result surprised me. I stopped overeating sweets and felt genuinely pleased with the outcome.
I would highly recommend Lesley.
Identity and Self-Direction
Pippa
I was recommended Lesley by a friend when I needed help with several things I was struggling with. I felt I should be able to deal with them myself, but realised I needed some guidance.
Lesley led me gently through the process in a kind, caring way, and I felt safe throughout. I’ve learnt a great deal about myself and would highly recommend her.
Sensory Changes and Self-Confidence
Karly
I had a really positive experience working with Lesley. During the session, we explored changes in my taste and smell following Covid.
Before we started, I could barely smell anything and couldn’t taste milk at all. By the end of the session, things felt noticeably different. I tried the milk again and could taste the creaminess I’d missed so much.
Lesley also helped me release a lot of unhelpful emotional weight I’d been carrying for years. I found the whole experience fascinating and deeply personal.
I would recommend working with Lesley if you’re dealing with changes in taste or smell, or a loss of confidence more generally. She also helped me move past a fear of jumping fences while riding my horse.
Authenticity and Letting Go
Anonymous
I first came across Lesley after hearing her speak on a podcast. I was sceptical at first, but after more than ten years of asking the big questions, trying self-help tools and different manifestation approaches, and still feeling stuck, something in what she said made me take the leap.
I’m so glad I did. The work we did together, especially around releasing blocks that had held me back and pulled me away from my authenticity, was incredibly powerful. For the first time, I feel a sense of space and ease, and an ability to let things unfold without forcing or over-managing them. Lesley works with real care and integrity, and I’m deeply grateful for the support she gave me. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to others.
