Some wonderful feedback I have received from clients..

We contacted Lisa to help with a few issues we were both suffering from at the time.  Both of us were lacking in mental strength, self belief and anxiety. Lisa has no doubt helped us both in our every day lives and given us that extra edge in achieving our sporting achievements -  gaining a Bronze medal for Marie and a 4th place ranking for Phil in the ITU World Championships in Denmark representing Great Britain. We consider Lisa an integral part of our team and would highly recommend her to anyone.  Phil & Marie Brush

​I have battled with anxiety for the majority of my life and I thought there was no way of stopping my anxiety, I had my gcse exams coming up and my anxiety levels were very very high and I would not of been able to even enter the exam hall as I would of panicked and cried but I started seeing Lisa and she has helped me dramatically I now feel much more confident and I have sat nearly 30 exams and been happy throughout. Hypnotherapy is truly amazing and I'm so glad Lisa could help me i highly recommend Lisa as she makes you feel relaxed and makes any issues such as anxiety much better.

Although I only had a few sessions I really feel better for it and have coped fine with a series of mini disasters since I last saw you. I just wanted to say thanks and for your straight talking reality check, putting things in perspective (sometimes need someone to smack you between the eyes with logic and reason) and just listening. I listen to your recording several times a week and feel it's a big help to maintain the positive vibe. So thank you massively.

I can't thank Lisa enough for all of her help. The hypnotherapy has given me my life back instead of constant worry and anxiety I now have control confidence and happiness in my life. She has been extremely flexible to accommodate my busy lifestyle. Amazing, thanks Lisa

I have always been a bit nervous of driving and only liked to potter around local areas and just drive when necessary and I would not drive at all when it was dark as this terrified me!!! I decided enough was enough and I thought it was about time I looked at getting some help, my first visit to Lisa was quite an eye opener as it would appear I was rather down in the dumps and very emotional, I guess I knew this really but had ignored it for quite a long time, my sessions with Lisa were amazing she made me look at everything differently and find lots of positives in life that I probably wasn’t noticing before and before I knew it I was feeling happier more confident and definitely less emotional which was amazing, and then we sorted out the fear behind the driving and it worked I am driving with more confidence and not worrying about the dark, I would highly recommend Lisa she worked miracles for me

​"I came out of the interview feeling on such a high and felt such a personal achievement. I have finally overcome my fear of interviews and know that I can be myself and draw upon my experience and resources to provide an answer. I am still amazed at how I have changed and how much more in control and confident I feel."

Testimonial from a mothers perceptive of how I had the pleasure to help her daughter - At the age of 12 my daughter refused to go to school, over the next 3 month's she just did a odd hour now and again, we took her to see a child councillor which didn't help, over the next few years she became more and more anxious she wouldn't go anywhere on her own, couldn't go to friends for tea or sleepovers and got very stressed about exams .  Finally she went back to school which then became somewhere she felt comfortable as she new everyone and they new her . She stayed on at 6th form as there was no other option for her, she wanted to get a part time job but she just couldn't do it, looking ahead she really wanted to go to uni but there was no way that would be possible for her.
Then though a friend I heard about Lisa, on 6th Feb this year she had her first appointment I can honestly say her life changed from that day 😃 before her 2nd appointment she was volunteering in a charity shop, she started going out going to friends eating out .
She turned 18 on April, she went nightclubbing and to a festival, normal thing's but things she didn't think she could do.
She passed her A Levels and on Sunday I dropped her off at Bath Spa University and although it's only a few days she is loving it, she's happy and confident.
If in January someone had told me this would happen I would never have believed them, saying Thank you to Lisa just doesn't seem enough but HUGE THANK YOU Lisa you are AMAZING XXXXXX

I love my sessions with Lisa, not only have they got me motivated, they have helped me de-stress no end. Feeling SO much better, sleeping so much better, and making better life choices all round. Thoroughly recommend

Thanks to the wonderful Lisa I am now free from the anxiety that I have suffered on and off with for years. My head is quiet and it's a wonderful place to be.

Thank you  Lisa for  helping me to believe in me. I finally rode well in our show jumping today!

I first heard of Lisa through my wife. I was going through a tough time and everything was going wrong. I was struggling to cope and the option was given to try hypnotherapy. I had already been hypnotised in the past so I was familiar with concept and willing to give it a try. My first session I was met with a kind and down to earth woman who listened to my issues and explained to me the science behind what she was going to do. It's not fluffy clouds and slow words with music in the background it's science. How the mind works is incredible and Lisa explained it all to me during the session and in the sessions to follow. I was then put under and once I woke up I have never felt more revived. It was like a huge weight had been lifted. Lisa can't wave a magic wand and make your issues go away but you can deal with them better because of her. Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass its about learning to dance in the rain, and Lisa helps you realise this. I would recommend Lisa to anyone who is struggling. Please if you can't cope and your willing to give hypnotherapy a try speak to Lisa and it makes a difference. 10/10.

​I had my last hypnotherapy session with Lisa Cartlidge this evening. Thank you so much Lisa. I feel so much better in myself than I did 3 months ago. I'm now back riding my horse, happily and with more confidence. Just need to get the lorry back on the road then all systems go. I'm not sure how, but hypnotherapy really does work. I would recommend it to anyone to give it a try. Onwards and upwards!

I have been afraid of flying for as long as i can remember, this has stopped me going on several impulse trips that I have been invited on.

I have still been away over the years, but the fear begins from the minute I book the holiday and carries on from there. its quite exhausting sweating and clenching your buttocks for an entire flight!, and has taken the edge off my holidays  as once you arrive you then have the worry of getting home again!
Not any more though, I booked a holiday to Ibiza earlier this year and went to see Lisa for some hypnotherapy to help me overcome my fears, I wanted my flying experience to be the same as getting on a train, which is something I love doing, all I can say is IT WORKED!, no sweaty palmed , no clenched buttocks, the experience from start to finish was a breeze, I even nodded off for a bit , and read my book easily. Thanks Lisa, totally recommend this experience :) 

I pretty much told Lisa I was broke, Anxiety, Depression, Stress, Low self esteem I had them all for a number of years. Medication, CBT and counselling had helped but I seriously thought I would be like it forever. How wrong was I! I think Lisa saw me as a challenge, just one session she said see how you get on! I had heard some amazing things from other people who were seeing her, yes I thought I would give it ago, nothing to lose. I was nervous about it, I needn't have been, Lisa was amazing welcomed me into her lovely home, put me at ease immediately. Before I knew it I had told her everything, things I hadn't even told the doctor or admitted to myself. Lisa was so easy to talk too (she couldn't shut me up) It all just came out. The process was simple I basically chilled out on the most amazing sofa in the world, whilst listening to what she had to say. I felt so relaxed at no point did I feel uncomfortable, I knew what was going on around me but all times and I felt at peace. Feeling at peace was something I hadn't felt for so many years. The very first weekend after session one I knew it was working, something major happened, an event which would have in the past have sent my anxiety on overdrive completely freaked me out. It didn't, no anxiety, no nervousness no thinking the world was going to end. I sailed through the weekend. Truly amazing, unbelievable I called it Magic. Since then I've gone from strength to strength, after discussing with my doctor I've halved my medication, I now look at things differently, I look for the good and the positive in everything! That's down to Lisa and I will never be able to thank her enough, I'm enjoying and embracing life, and yes I do truly believe it's magic. Wonderful life changing magic.

"Having suffered from depression (in the form of bipolar) for many years I was convinced that this was an illness I just had learned to keep on top of. Most of the time I did a pretty good job, but occasionally the lows would be pretty vile. I also have weight issues as a result. So in January I went to see Lisa (in all honesty sceptical that she could 'fix' me, just thought it would be nice and maybe help me sleep better) I was wrong..... 4 months later I am feeling great, no dark times at all. Still refuse to believe I'm 'fixed' but in all honesty I haven't felt this positive for a very long time. I'm much more determined and focused. Now to crack the weight issue! The power of the mind is an incredible thing and Lisa is incredible at unlocking that positive energy."

"All my life I have suffered with anxiety as I got older it got worse to the point where it stopped me from going to school and being able to do normal things like get a Job or go out with friends to unfamiliar places. When I was offered a place at university I decided to seek help. Lisa was amazing, from my first session I felt more positive and confidant, I wrote a CV before my second session and began volunteering a charity shop before my third. My life has completely changed and I feel like a new person. Lisa is an amazing lovely person who is easy to talk to and supportive, strongly recommend her."

"I was going through a lot of changes in my life and I was finding it difficult to cope. When I first saw Lisa I rated myself a 3 in the scale of happiness, from the outside people kept telling me that I had so much to look forward to but I kept seeing the negatives which was bringing me down.
When I met Lisa I instantly knew that if there was anyone who was going to change my perception on life it would be her. Lisa's energy was amazing and I could already feel the negative devil sitting on my shoulder shrinking. Lisa has extensive knowledge in the subject, she understood how I felt and she was able to explain why. I enjoyed my time with Lisa and always came away feeling a lot better about myself, the best thing was that if there was ever a time I felt low and needed a pick me up she produced a recording that allowed me to relax in my own space.

I saw Lisa a number of times and I can say that I feel like a different person. I'm now in pushing a 10 in the scale of happiness and extremely grateful for what she has done for me. Thank you Lisa."

​"Lisa has given me back my life.  I have suffered from crippling anxiety from an early age, she has set me free, I’m happy, positive and able to deal with life.  Bloody amazing!  I’ve also been able to stop taking medication.  Lisa has helped me to look forward to a brighter, happier, positive future.  I have never felt so good.  Thank you for saving me Lisa."

"We came to see Lisa as my 7 year old daughter was becoming very anxious at bed time. We had never had "bed-time" troubles ​before, but she had started to have panic attack like episodes. Thinking she wouldn't breath and generally getting extremely upset and fractious.  We went to see Lisa.  My daughter was very relaxed in her company and clearly felt comfortable.  Lisa spoke to my daughter in a great manner, clearly explaining about hypnotherapy and how her brain works.  After each session my daughter came away very happy laughing and joking.  She wrote down her positive thoughts from the day before bedtime.  She is still carrying with her positive thoughts and is quickly filling up her book.  I can honestly say we have not had one "episode" since. It's help my daughter amazingly and I almost cannot remember the stress we had with her before.   Also due to my daughters age, I sat in on the sessions and have found that myself being extremely anxious has benefited no end.  I have learnt to look for the positives, and in situations that would have really worried me before haven't been half the problem.  We would highly recommend Lisa and hypnotherapy and I personally thank Lisa hugely."

"I would like to say thank you to Lisa for helping me to overcome my fear of driving. Before going to hypnosis with Lisa I found driving very stressful so I wouldn't drive at all and rated myself as a 2 on a scale of 1-10. After just 7 sessions I now feel like a confident 10 and I am happy to drive anywhere. Each week Lisa helped me to think about the good things that had happened and adopt a more positive mind-set. This meant I was able to set a target that I felt I could achieve before the next session. This, combined with listening to the CD recordings, really helped to give me a clear focus and feel more confident about myself and subsequently I am now totally calm and relaxed when driving. I would definitely recommend Lisa to anyone as my experience was invaluable."

"I was recommended to see Lisa by a horse riding friend as when it came to jumping my horse I have a debilitating anxiety which used to stop me riding which therefore meant the horse stopped and I fell off which exacerbated the problem!  I’d been feeling generally more anxious about life since the birth of my daughter whose lack of sleep for 2 ½ years really impacted on my mental health, but I could control it in most other spheres of my life.  Even after a couple of sessions, I felt as if I could actually breathe and relax!  Not just in my horse riding, but in everyday life. My anxiety has lifted and generally I can relax and enjoy things rather than just survive the day.  I am managing to sleep better, even though some nights are still disturbed, I am coping much better.  When it comes to jumping I am no longer getting sick with anxiety the night before, thinking about what might happen.  Coming into a fence I can relax, breathe and ride, enabling my horse to jump.  I was unsure what to expect from hypnotherapy and while I can’t explain it, there has been a huge positive impact on my life and my horse riding.  It has got me out of a spiral of surviving and got me back to living."
