I visited Hypofocus when insomnia was ruining my life after a traumatic relationship breakdown. As soon as I walked in the room I knew I was in safe, non-judgemental hands with Georgina. After just 3 hypnotherapy sessions I was sleeping better as Georgina taught me techniques to relax and practice self-hypnosis to achieve more restful nights. But more importantly Georgina helped me explore the stress and anxiety that was underlying. Although I had initially sought help because of my sleeplessness I ended up continuing my sessions for a full 8 weeks because I found them so helpful. Georgina is an

Georgina was so friendly, yet professional. She made me feel at ease. I went to see her for clostrophobia, and she cured me in one session! It was a very surreal experience testing it out 2 weeks later: I was a little nervous, but only nervous that I would get a panic attack, but one didn't come! It was weird and amazing! THANKYOU Georgina. I would highly recommend you to anyone

I submit my highest recommendation for Georgina's services at Hypfocus. She provided the tools to help me navigate a very difficult personal crisis. She is sympathetic, genuinely caring, intuitive and highly skilled. I owe a debt of gratitude to her for getting me on the path to emotional and physical wellness. An exemplary professional in her field.

I saw Georgina for Hypnotherapy to help quit smoking. I tried using Champix and Patches and that didn't help. The hypnotherapy made it easier than before. After 35 years a smoker I haven't had one for 6 weeks.
