Gina is utterly brilliant!
Gina is utterly brilliant! I'd briefly tried hypnotherapy before for general anxiety during a rough patch but was not 100% convinced anything could help with my totally crippling phobia of flying that developed after a couple of rough flights a few years back. I hadn't been able to board a plane since without completely panicking and becoming quite ill even with strong medication, which had stopped me from going on holiday or visiting friends. I'd run out of ideas and the phobia was controlling my life, becoming increasingly frustrating and upsetting.
I called a few hypnotherapists in the hope that hypnotherapy might help me but when I spoke to Gina I immediately felt a good connection and it was so clear she genuinely cared about helping clients above all else. Before I had even started hypnotherapy with Gina, she sent me a number of useful resources and recordings in preparation which allowed me to start the work immediately and instantly made me more hopeful.
The sessions I had with Gina were the perfect balance of supportive and caring whilst also being practical and realistic, I completed three sessions and after each Gina sent me a recording of the session to keep practising and more resources with tips and tricks to work on, so I had plenty to keep me going! She really went above and beyond in this respect.
Normally for phobias people would require more sessions but I was aiming to get on a flight within a couple of weeks, Gina was incredibly accommodating, squeezing me in for 3 sessions in two weeks and then when I was getting nervous as the flight approached, managing to fit in another one last minute for some extra support.
Gina offered to speak to me via phone or text on the day of the flight if I needed, and was keen to hear how it went, which made me feel even more supported!
On top of all of her incredible support, each hypnotherapy session itself left me feeling more confident and relaxed in the run up to my flight. Despite that, having had such a difficult time in the past I was still not convinced I could do it, but hoped that I could manage to at least get on the plane. To my surprise, I found that not only was I far, far more calm whilst boarding than in the past, but whilst on the plane I realised I had come further than I'd ever expected was possible in such a short space of time.
The hypnotherapy sessions and methods that Gina taught me for controlling my anxiety worked even better than I'd hoped and I was absolutely over the moon when I reached the other end! I seriously can't recommend Gina's services enough, she is fantastic, professional and really does go above and beyond in supporting her clients. Thank you!!!
