Testimonials
Comments from some clients
From a client when I was training and not allowed to charge.
What was the situation that led you to work with me?
I came to Sylvia in October 2020 suffering from extreme anxiety, so extreme was that anxiety that my body mimicked heart attack several times a day. I'd been in and out of hospital, thinking I was dying. I'd had tests done . . . . . there is nothing wrong physically with me. It was all in my head the doctor said . . . . I tried to deal with it alone but it just wasn't happening. Then out of nowhere popped up this lady offering free hypnotherapy sessions. I grabbed that offer with both hands, what did I have to lose and the truth is I haven't looked back since.
What was your experience like working with me?
I had to admit things I'd rather not in order to move on but with the tools Sylvia teaches the impossible suddenly becomes the very possible. The hypnotherapy is a definite life changer, but I found Sylvia herself as the therapist was also a huge part of the healing. A lovely lady who invokes trust, which is immensely important to me, she was very patient with me throughout the entire process, encouraging, motivating, interesting, non-judgemental.
​What is your situation now?
None of it is easy, I had to and still have to work hard on myself. She helped me find my mojo, helped put a smile back on my face and a spring in my step.
What would you tell someone considering working with me?
I cannot recommend her highly enough and I will forever be grateful. If you’re ready for it, if you really want change and are willing to work towards that goal, then you are in the right place with the right person. Don't hesitate, contact Sylvia now and allow her give you the tools you need to walk forward into a better future.
Anxiety
I can't thank Sylvia enough for the help she gave me in recovering from the depression and anxiety I suffered from for months during lockdown. I was initially sceptical but agreed to give hypnotherapy a go and haven't looked back since.
​
We started just with relaxation sessions, which are like a sort of guided meditation. To my great surprise, they calmed my frantic mind immediately and I began to look forward to them very much.
​
I was undergoing CBT through the NHS at the time too and, although my practitioner was helpful and the CBT useful, there was always the pressure of time. That wasn't the case with Sylvia. She always made me feel completely relaxed and, for some reason I can't quite put my finger on, I felt it was much easier to open up and be honest about my feelings with her.
We had a number of sessions over a few months and after each I felt a little more grounded and a little less lacking in motivation. Although it was the CBT and the hypnotherapy, hand in hand, that helped me recover, I would give the lion's share of the credit to Sylvia. She is calm, understanding, thoughtful and has a lovely reading voice - I have a recording of her reading a relaxation script and still use it.
​
So, thank you Sylvia, from the bottom of my heart. I owe you a great deal and so appreciate the time you spent with me.

IBS
I have irritable bowel syndrome, (IBS) which had been so troublesome for months that I felt desperate. There was nothing specific that caused it except possibly my habitually stressed, anxious and tense state of mind.
So I underwent a short course of hypnotherapy with Sylvia Miller to try to reduce my stressed state.
​
I felt an immediate improvement from the very first session, something which I would not have believed possible. I experienced a reduction in my fears from the outset.
​
I started keeping a daily journal listing anything, however small, that I enjoyed each day. I was surprised to discover how very much I think negatively. But I was also surprised to realise how very many things I also enjoy, every day, even small details.
​
After only four sessions my IBS was so much better and I didn’t worry or stress about it as I used to.
​
This has helped with all aspects of my life and I now feel confident that I can deal with any further attacks of IBS. This is very liberating: I am feeling very much better in every way, physically and mentally. I am very grateful indeed for my hypnotherapy sessions.

Phobia of blood and medical procedures
I just wanted to drop you a email to thank you for your therapy sessions, can't quite believe I'm saying this, but it has worked and I now no longer go into panic mode or feel faint around blood!
Thank you for your help, I will be recommending you to my friend who has similar phobias.
