Testimonials
Medical Worries
Having to face a masectomy, hysterectomy with chemotherapy after a cancer diagnosis left me an anxious tearful wreck. Being a squeemish person, carrying trauma from a childhood injury made my stress and fear even worse. I knew I needed outside support and found my angel in the form of the lovley Dee Muchmore. Reaching out to her has been the best ting ive done. Dee has taught me a number of different tools and skills to use daily and at times of anxiety and panic, even in public places, I now have the ability to use these skills and techniques to ease the panic and anxiety wherever I am. This has given me a sense of control and peace of mind over my future treatment, im facing months and months of hospital visits, but im totally relaxed now. I use the skills dee has taught me on a daily basis, they are all a major part of my life. They will always be a part of my life and as just as important as eating. Im so fortunate to have found dee, highly recommended.
Medical Worries
Hypnotherapy has helped me 100%, all thanks to you. It’s definitely helped with my medical problems, which can be debilitating at times. I’m at terms with it all, it’s absolutely helped.
Medical Worries
Dee helped me over a period of 6 weeks, to ready myself for some out patient surgery. She was very positive, encouraging , and calm. I found the process to be very relaxing and helped to take away the fear I had about the situation. On the day of my surgery I felt prepared and as calm as I could be, which was due to Dee's help. Thank you!
Medical Worries
I had an open mind as I was unsure what was achievable through hypnotherapy. It went far beyond any expectations. I feel much more confident in myself. My stress levels have decreased considerably and I feel much happier than I have ever felt. I am ready to face each day with new vigour and now look forward to each new day ahead. Dee is compassionate and caring and knows what she is doing so well. I felt I was in safe hands, and the sessions were also enjoyable. I could not have had a better counsellor.
Long Covid
The main utility of the sessions felt to me that I enjoyed them and looked forward to them. After each session I left feeling much better than before (lighter, more relaxed, more optimistic) and they were a positive experience. I often surprised myself with all of the positive things I could come up with, lead by Dee’s questioning and probing. My long-covid symptoms did get better over the course of the hypnotherapy.
Perimenopause
I listen to Dees hypnosis download regularly and it's been a game changer for me - as someone who is going through the perimenopause, I struggled to get to sleep and wake up most nights. Dees voice puts me straight to sleep and I always wake up feeling well rested. Not only does it quiet my mind, I can feel the stress and tension leave my body. Her voice and way about her is very calming and relaxing.
Phobia
I can recommend Dee. She’s been helping me with my fear of flying - and it works! She explains the science behind hypnotherapy really well from the start. It’s not weird or scary - it’s just retraining ur brain and binning old negative thoughts - and it’s very relaxing!!!! I’m noticing I feel better day to day since starting the sessions - calm and more able to deal with life’s day to day stuff
Anxiety
I was hoping that I would be able to improve my anxiety. I certainly have. I now know the signs and act. Taking time out has stopped me ending up in a loop/ rehashing. Dee was amazing.
Stress
Dee's sessions brought me a much-needed sense of serenity, helping me unwind and let go of the stress from work. This positively impacted my relationship with my partner and gave me the space to reflect on what truly matters in my life. My husband was initially skeptical, but after listening to Dee's audio recordings at night, he experienced deep relaxation and started falling asleep much faster than usual. We both highly recommend Dee's sessions - they’ve been transformative for us and would make a thoughtful gift for someone you care about.
Panic Attacks
When I first spoke to Dee, I was shrouded by a haze of constant anxiety, insomnia, and impatience. Due to years of unresolved trauma and anxiety, I had undergone a personality change and was wholly unhappy with my life and myself. I didn't recognize myself when I spoke or when I looked in the mirror. I was desperate to understand why I was plagued with these things. Initially I was anxious to begin hypnotherapy sessions because I had incorrectly assumed that we would have to dig back into my past (a past so traumatic that even thinking about certain events would bring me to a panic attack). I was afraid that I would have to let myself go and let unwanted thoughts run rampant in my psyche, potentially making me feel worse or deepening this unwelcomed personality change. I couldn't have been more wrong about the processes and outcome of hypnotherapy!!
Dee never asked about specific events from my past, nor did we ever speak about anything unpleasant or traumatic! This was a very welcome experience and truly helped me reach my goal of getting back to who I am. She listened to me fully without interruption or judgement, encouraging even the smallest wins and amplifying them for me. She helped me come to see that life is about focusing on the good things in front of me and dismissing the pain of the past, as it is no longer relevant or helpful. I cannot overstate the degree to which Dee helped me, and without her, I doubt I could have come to such conclusions on my own.
Because of Dee and her work I have been equipped with the tools to create a positive mindset and thus a better life. Aside from her kindness and empathy, she shared information about the brain and its functions, which was absolutely necessary as an aid in changing my mindset. She helped me immensely because she explained how sleep and meditation are important for helping the brain let go of what it holds onto. She explained to me how the brain operates in relation to panic and anxiety. This was a massive help to me. I highly recommend her and her services to anyone considering hypnotherapy or therapy in general.
While I work with adults facing a range of challenges including stress, anxiety, low confidence, and life transitions, I have a particular interest in supporting women experiencing medical or health anxiety. Together we work to ease the fear, uncertainty, and emotional strain that can come with symptoms, illness, or treatment, helping you reconnect with your inner steadiness and strength.
While many of the people I work with are women, I welcome anyone who resonates with this approach and is looking for supportive, practical therapy that helps them move forward.
