“Before I came to see Penny, I was in a really bad place, my head was spinning, I was so full of anxiety, I couldn’t sleep, eat or concentrate on anything. My life seemed like a real mess and I couldn’t see a way out. I made the decision to speak with Penny and start hypnotherapy and to say it’s changed my life is an understatement. Penny made me feel comfortable and able to see things clearly again after my sessions, I was feeling so much better. Penny has helped me through a number of things; her kindness and guidance is fantastic. Hypnotherapy has an amazing way of making you feel so calm, I listen to it every night. Thank you so much Penny.” Female client May 7th 2025

“Working with Penny was life-changing, she created a safe, private space where I felt completely heard and supported with my anxiety issues. I’m incredibly grateful as she has greatly improved my quality of life and would recommend her to anyone looking for support. – Jake, age 19″ April 2025

“I came to Penny in 2022 when a combination of things happening in my life at the time had led to me experiencing episodes of severe anxiety including experiencing panic attacks. While I was a general worrier in life, continuing episodes of severe anxiety was not something I had experienced before. Making the decision to seek help when you are already suffering from anxiety is, as I am sure anyone can imagine, a daunting prospect. The first session was filled with a lot of tears! However, here I am 2 and a half years later and I can genuinely say that making the decision to make that first appointment with Penny has changed my life. Penny made me feel at ease straight away with an empathetic ear and through the course of our therapy sessions gave me the tools and understanding of why I was feeling the way I was, the mechanics of fear and why I was reacting the way I was at that time to it. Through this understanding I not only gained an acceptance that anxiety was normal but that it was a small part of me and there was so much more to what made Chris. This led to being content in my own skin, which I had not had to such an extent in my life to that point and has since enriched my life in so many ways. I also found a huge benefit from hypnotherapy, not something I had tried before. A lot of my anxiety came from childhood experiences of bullying and rejection, particularly from the opposite sex. The ability for Penny to work with my subconscious, through the medium of hypnotherapy, was very beneficial and led to changes in the mindset that I didn’t even know were happening. I would suddenly just stop thinking certain ways in certain situations or not react physiologically in a way I had before. I write this as someone who has since got married to my soulmate, has a new found confidence and is even learning to fly! Things I never would have been able to do before therapy. For anyone out there who is suffering in silence and is thinking about whether or not to try therapy, I cannot recommend Penny enough. She will provide you with the safe place, tools, understanding and therapy you need to overcome the situation you are in. If my experience is anything to go by then it may just be one of the best decisions you ever make. You will have an ally for life!” Chris. September 23rd 2024

“Hi Penny, great to see you yesterday. It was lovely meeting you. You helped me a lot over a real crisis. Good to know that if I need you, I know where you are. Really enjoyed our chats.”

Before meeting Penny, I struggled with severe insomnia and nighttime panic attacks whenever sleep apps, routines etc failed to work. However, after each hypnosis session with Penny, my anxiety gradually diminished. Now, I no longer panic at night when sleep eludes me. After just three sessions and nightly listening to her recordings, my sleep has improved significantly, and I now approach bedtime with a positive mindset. Penny’s guidance has been life-changing. Client. May 2024

My youngest daughter, aged 11, has been to see Penny three times in the last year, once for help after issues with bullying at school, and then twice from issues with nightmares and stress, due to forthcoming exams.
Penny was incredibly patient, and really related to my daughter, and my daughter felt very relaxed and comfortable with her, and was able to discuss her concerns and anxieties with Penny.
Penny then sent us through hypnotherapy story recordings she had created specifically with my daughters concerns in mind, for my daughter to listen to at night.
They were incredible and within a few nights my daughter seemed so much more confident and relaxed, she was sleeping in her own bed again and the nightmares all stopped.
I can’t recommend Penny highly enough. Mother of daughter. May 2024

When I first went to see Penny, I was experiencing excessive anxiety and it was inhibiting me from doing the most basic day-to-day tasks. All I wanted to do was escape the reality of life and sleep. I felt like my brain had broken and I could not get it back into gear. I found the sessions with Penny and the recordings she provided would help me get through the day. As the weeks passed. she would tailor the recordings to help me with up-and-coming events and stresses. After taking 20-30 minutes out of my day to exercise my brain, it started to pay off. I no longer relied on the recordings, but looked at them as a treat for my brain to enable it to recharge. Two years later, I still listen to the recordings every day as it is now become part of my life. I feel I have retrained my brain to be able to enjoy all the things I found too much to cope with. I will be forever grateful to Penny for helping me through the hardest time of my life and now feeling calm and confident and in control. (Ben 38 years old – May 2024)

Dear Penny, I am so grateful for the sessions with you- they have been a massive help and have really helped me to deal with things and move forward with a much more healthy approach. I shall continue using the recordings as they give me a great sense of security and of course, I know that should I need to, I will be able to come back and see you again. Many thanks.

“Dear Penny,
I would like to say thank you so much for all you have done. It has helped very much and I have no troubles of getting to sleep. I do not have to ask for any reassurance and can control my own anxiety. That purple spiky star no longer exists. I have been so pleased that somebody has finally been able to have help me and ever since I started seeing you I have had no worries. Thank you.” F.O May 2023

“We had been struggling to get the right treatment for our son who was missing huge amounts of school due to a serious eating disorder. Finding Penny was a Godsend. After the first session alone I could see the difference in our son. There was trust, hope and a light again. He just connected and looked forward to the next session. Within 5 sessions our son was strong enough to finish this treatment and face a change of school, where he is now thriving and has been signed off by the local NHS Eating Disorder Specialist team. He is eating normally and has regained all weight lost. A remarkable transformation from where he was. For any parent seeking a fresh approach to treat their child’s eating disorder I would wholeheartedly recommend Penny. Best MT” May 2023

“Dear Penny,
Thank you for sorting me out, particularly my bladder urgency problem.
Thanks to you and the hypnotherapy sessions I am now only getting up once per night instead of three to four times and sometimes not at all and I don’t worry so much about finding a loo when travelling, I certainly don’t have to stop at every service station anymore!! I also feel much better in myself as my anxiety problem is easing and I can now go places without overthinking things. I would like to say thank you for encouraging me to talk about my late wife it helped a lot thankyou and if there are future problems I know where to come. Thanks again Penny and I will miss our little chats!!” Client May 2023

“I went to see Penny as I was experiencing debilitating anxiety and social anxiety. I found my sessions with Penny very rewarding and enjoyable. She is a lovely person and very easy to relax and open up to. We covered all sorts of issues and talked through everything in a structured informal way and then we followed with hypnotherapy. The hypnotherapy was very worthwhile and I found it easy as I had practiced mindfulness and meditation previously. The hypnotherapy session is recorded and could be listen to again, which I did on a daily basis. Penny has totally transformed my life. I feel like a different person, now being calm and confident. The change for the better is fantastic, I only wish I had visited Penny sooner. Thank you Penny.” EC April 2023

“Thank you so much for everything you have done over the past few years with my sister. From what seemed like a hopeless point and in the depths of despair of such a tragic loss, we have seen her grow in her ability to manage and rebuild her life to include joy and purpose again. This was some thing we hoped for her but didn’t really know if it would ever be possible. But I should know now, to never underestimate my awesome big sister. The bravest person I know! In no small part, you have been incremental in this and we will be forever grateful. I realise there will always be dark days ahead but we know now that she has the tools to manage and draw upon to keep moving forward and always with her family’s full support. Your work really does make a difference to the quality of people’s lives. Thank you so much.” Nov 2022

“Hi Penny
I can’t praise you enough for the difference connecting with you has made to my life; it truly is remarkable, thank you. I know it’s early days and Christmas is going to be a real test, but the way I feel now fills me with confidence that I’ve changed my mind-set in a positive way.” Dec 2021

“After 50 years of not eating Cheese, I decided that I wanted to do something about it. I knew a few people who had used Hypnotherapy successfully, so choose that as the best option. A quick internet search and I found Penny’s practise. We did the first appointment via Zoom because of COVID restrictions and then two further face to face sessions.I was a little apprehensive at first but Penny made me feel relaxed very quickly and I really enjoyed the appointments. The sessions are recorded too and I listened back to them a few times between appointments to help enforce the messages.After 3 appointments I was happily eating cheese on Pizzas, Burritos, Gratin Potato’s and Lasagne and enjoying the taste.I am extremely pleased I choose to use Penny and delighted with the results. It has changed my life for the better”

“forgot to say, thank you Penny. I can’t tell you the difference you have made to me, I feel calm and comfortable in my own skin. Don’t feel I need to ‘perform’ to be noticed or liked, my whole focus has changed. I’ve started a new healthy lifestyle… eating well, exercising more, even started riding again, which I’m loving. I’ve lost a stone and a half, feeling much better and more in control of everything…. for now!
Thank you, thank you…. I still listen to you at least once a week
May see you soon” Ness Sept 2020
“Hi Penny,Well, I’m back in the UK, the big question is, did it all work out?I can say with hand on heart, the best skydiving trip and experience I have ever had, thank you!!!Calmness, I have never felt so calm in the preparation for a skydive. Walking up to the group of 16 or 48 people with confidence of feeling part of the plan and belonging was unbelievable.Confidence, was extremely high, I have never felt do confident in my ability to perform in whatever position I was given, especially positions I have always avoided in case I fail.Focus, oh boy I was on it!So, I can safely say that progress has been made and I feel this is just the start. I left California with a massive sense of accomplishment and fulfilment. As soon as I arrived back home I immediately emailed the DZ in California and booked myself on not one but two further training camps on consecutive weekends, a total of 12 days skydiving, on my own in May.I cannot thank you enough for all your help, life changing, thank you”.

“I went to penny with a real fear of driving on the M25. she quickly understood my personality, my triggers, and my history. She worked through many techniques with me and I fully trusted her experience and sensitivity to my situation to help me overcome anxious thoughts. She came on two ‘field trips’ with me, and through a lot of practice and commitment, I am now able to drive on the M25. I even took myself shopping at Bluewater today! It is so liberating to feel in control again. Thank you penny” Jan 2020
“I contacted Penny for advice and support in relation to our 8 year old daughter. She had been experiencing difficulties settling to sleep for several months and due to chronic sleep deprivation, displayed challenging behaviour. When asked why she couldn’t sleep, she’d say she didn’t know why and spent a lot of time distressed and extremely tired. During my consultation, Penny asked a lot of questions, some which I found very difficult, but answered truthfully as our home-life was very strained and we needed help. Penny suggested that it would be beneficial for me to meet with her in the first instance, to which I agreed. I had experienced two major sudden bereavements and had not accessed support as I thought I was fine and getting on with things! There was a 10 day gap between my consultation and initial appointment- this was the start of a new beginning, like a switch had been flicked and everything started to improve and life felt ‘normal’ again. I met Penny and shared this and Penny has already expressed she felt my daughter was acting out my emotions and was potentially relaxing as I was speaking to someone and getting help. I must admit I was a bit sceptical, however, embraced my consultation and went to what I now call ‘my special place’, I had my first experience of hypnotherapy and cannot explain what happened apart from having heavy hands, heavy feet and a fuzzy head. I couldn’t remember the content of the 16 minutes it lasted, but Penny reassured me that my subconscious would take onboard everything she had said. Off I went with my recording and religiously listened to it every night and returned a month later for another session. Again, I visited ‘my special place’. At this point I felt so much better in myself, was sleeping well, certainly wasn’t as anxious and we were enjoying family life again without the chronic sleep deprivation and challenging behaviour.The ultimate aim was to have our happy, content, bubbly and well rested daughter back – which is exactly what we had! The transference of my emotions and the manifestation of sleep difficulties and challenging behaviour had become a ‘thing’ of the past. I can only explain it as truly amazing and a life changing experience for us as a family. Three months following my initial appointment and after just two sessions the outcome is phenomenal. I cannot thank Penny enough for her expertise and guidance and will certainly be returning as well as recommending her to family, friends and colleagues. Thank you Penny, you have really helped us at a very difficult time! Many Thanks“. SB Apr 2019
“My daughter, aged 14, visited Penny because of her anxiety. Only 9 sessions later and we have a totally different child. Penny was approachable, professional and made us both feel at ease the moment we stepped through the door. Hypnotherapy became my daughters ‘favourite thing!’ The strategies taught will be with her for life and the change in her is beyond belief. And for that, I truly cannot thank Penny enough.” HP Apr 2019
“Penny was recommended to me by a very good friend (and very heavy smoker) who had given up smoking a few years ago after visiting Penny for 3 sessions. I was sceptical because i had visited a hypnotherapist in the past that didn’t work and it is a lot of money. I made myself a deal – whatever happens I would give up smoking for at least the time it would take to have spent £395 on cigarettes. That way I’m no worse off. I visited Penny on 2nd October opting for the one off session and have not smoked since. It is honestly like turning off a light switch. No cravings, I don’t think about smoking, I don’t want to smoke. It feels like a miracle and I only wish I’d visited Penny sooner! I really can’t recommend her enough.” Nov 2018
“As you know I was very wary of hypnosis when we first met. My previous experience with it had been a bad one and I was (and to certain extent still am) cynical about hypnosis. But I needed to stop and you had been recommended by someone who I knew and trusted so I got in touch. I was a 20+ a day smoker and had been smoking for 25 or so years. You took the time to talk to me before I committed to the process and that allowed me to discuss my reservations/ cynicism with you. This got me comfortable with you and how the process was likely to work. I haven’t looked back since and am nearly two years from my last cigarette. I couldn’t have done it without you and since then I’ve been very happy to recommend you to my friends and family” JB Oct 2018
“Hi Penny. I’m sorry I haven’t messaged you sooner as I’ve been busy and travelling all over the place. I just wanted to let you know I got A* A A in my a levels and got into bath! Thank you for all your help and support. I’ll be taking my cds to bath with me when I start next Saturday.” Sept 2018
“I wanted somebody who had a good understanding of children for my young sons treatment. Penny instantly built up a good rapport with him and had him distracted with his favorite toys, she had an excellent way of turning the therapy into a game! My son was able to work well with Penny and after just two sessions he was feeling much more positive. I would highly recommend Penny for childrens anxiety issues.” VL Sept 2017
“Penny, I just wanted to let you know that my tinnitus has not returned! I also wanted to say thank you for your support and help during this dreadful time, having been told that there was no cure for my tinnitus by my doctors, you can imagine my relief when you calmly took hold of the situation. I had never contemplated hypnosis as something I would ever need indeed it was something which I had always looked upon as a bit too alternative for me. How wrong I was ! I cannot believe how lucky I was to have found your website and as a result a cure for my tinnitus. Many many thanks for all your help.” Aug 2017
When I first visited Penny I was suffering panic attacks as well as experiencing a constant gnawing anxiety. My stomach had been churning with butterflies for around two years and I could feel a physical pain. This had the effect of causing me to be depressed and I would find myself giving up on work projects and avoiding friends. I felt as if I was in a cycle, going from anxiety to depression, low self esteem and lack of confidence in my skills, to an occasional ‘normal’ period and then back again. I visited Penny in the third week of July 2016. I am now writing this on the 4th October 2016 which is over 2 months since my sessions. After the second session the physical feeling in my stomach had completely disappeared. Two months later, I have felt no anxiety and I feel more calm and centred that I have felt in a very long time. I feel at peace with myself, happy and positive and it feels like a real gift to feel this way. It’s no coincidence that my children are also in a really happy place right now, and I really feel that the effect on my wellbeing has had a huge effect in my whole family. We are closer, more affectionate and a lot more fun! It feels like a miracle and it’s actually difficult to remember how bad I felt at the time. My first session with Penny I actually broke down and sobbed for almost an hour. It feels like a million miles away and I now look to the future with real optimism. Life feels good. Thanks so much Penny, you are a magician! JG Oct 2016
I took my son to see Penny as he had developed a phobia of wobbly teeth. She was fantastic and really helped him with techniques to overcome his anxiety and hypnosis to calm him and change the way he thought. I would recommend her to anyone. She was extremely friendly and understanding, and immediately put us both at ease. He feels completely differently now and we are keeping our fingers crossed that the next wobbly tooth will not be so traumatic for him. LS. Apr 2016
When I first went to see Penny I had forgotten how to smile. I was depressed, extremely overweight and finding it difficult to see the joy in life. Penny was friendly yet professional. She took the time to look behind the obvious and try to uncover the feelings and events, some deeply buried, that had built up over the years and left me struggling to cope. Now, I am a different person! I have far more confidence and belief in myself and my weight is still coming down. It has been hard work – you have to put the effort in if you want to see the results – but with Penny’s support and encouragement to keep me going, I have learnt to smile again. HM 2016
Just to say a huge thank you for your help. I gave a talk on Monday evening to the Meopham Garden Club and it went really well. Then I did another one last night to the WI in Hadlow with a friend about bees which was also fine. A few nerves at the beginning but once I got going it was OK I was surprised how many hours went into preparing the presentations, so it’s probably not viable when it fights for my time in the nursery etc. I have to say the build up to it was a bit nerve racking and it’s not something I want to do all the time but I overcame my fear and that was the aim. It was strange how they both ended up on consecutive evenings (nothing to do with me) but I was good in a way as they are over now and I can concentrate on the garden and nursery. JL Mar 2016
