Hear what people say about Louise's work at Yellow Bird.

'Louise helped me through a dark place following a divorce, a collapse of my business and my burnout from years of overworking.

I went to therapy hoping for a magic light switch to make everything better with a click of a finger. This unfortunately does not exist. However, Louise provided the guidance, support and empathy on my journey to give me the strength to turn it all around.

She helped me change my mindset, focus on what is in my control, look at situations from other perspectives and see all the amazing opportunities in my life.

After finding our teenage son was suffering with anxiety about his body image and seeking advice from the GP, we came across Louise at Yellowbird Cognitive Hypnotherapy.

 We went to our initial appointment and as a parent I sat in for the first part, and then left my son with Louise to talk about things. Afterwards, we went away to discuss whether Louise was the right person my son felt comfortable to talk too. My son decided he wanted to return to speak to Louise on a regular appointment.

 After a few sessions, you could begin to see signs of improvement but, unfortunately, something at school happened and set my son back, Louise was there to offer a great support of help and advice to my son. After working hard together he overcame the worst of his anxiety, and although it may always be there, with Louise's excellent support and strategies he has managed to begin to live his life again.

 I will forever be grateful to Louise for giving me my boy back and for helping him in his hardest times, so he could carry on to enjoy his life like he is now, thank you so much.

Mum to teenage boy - 2023

Sometimes in life, difficult challenges appear, you don't understand why or where they have come from. Just that you feel different, less confident, vulnerable, and sometimes frightened, and unable to make sense of how you are feeling and coping.

I have a very loving and supportive family, and at a time when I was struggling, they encouraged me to seek help and advice. I contacted Louise, whom responded quickly to my email, and I made an appointment to see her. Louise listened to me, and how I was feeling, and gently steered me to understanding myself, and talk me through my concerns. Louise has helped me in her quiet and calm way, and I know that if reassurance is needed in the future, it gives me great comfort to know that I can email Louise for an appointment to see her again, and talk things through. Louise gives you the opportunity to try and understand yourself, and in doing so, gives you the confidence to go forward.

 Thank you so much Louise. Mrs C.S Retired 2023

"Our Daughter has been attending sessions with Louise at Yellow Bird Cognitive Hypnotherapy for the past four months. In the absence of immediate help from the local authorities it was essential that our daughter was seen by a professional therapist immediately.

 And this came in the form of Louise, what a pleasure it has been to get to know her better through this process and learn that she is indeed a capable and compassionate therapist.

Louise dealt with our daughter with a personable and humanistic approach tailoring the treatment needed to lift her spirits, attitude and confidence levels.

Before treatment my wife and I were at ‘rock bottom’ with no way to turn, now sixteen weeks on and we have our daughter back! Louise carefully nurtured her and instilled reliable and practical coping mechanisms by using cognitive hypnotherapy, designed to give her a method of dealing with her fears and anxiety about attending school.

Our daughter experienced serious bullying episodes during Yr7 that were mishandled by the local Academy leading to her school refusal, something I do not wish on any child to have to deal with. Today our daughter manages her anxiety successfully and has returned back to school full time and is enjoying life much more!

 Although every day is a battle for those of us that deal with anxiety issues; she now has emerged a brighter, stronger and well prepared young person. And the credit is due to Louise for helping bring our daughter full circle."                       Mr & Mrs Overjoyed Parents of Stilton -2016
