Testimonials for Root-cause Therapy, Hypnotherapy & Psychotherapy in Warrington.
Anxiety & Breathing Difficulties
"‘I came to Gaynor after a traumatic medical procedure which left me with debilitating breathing difficulties. Working with Gaynor has brought a sense of calm to everything. My breathing issues have significantly improved, which has drastically improved my quality of life. I couldn't function before, would struggle to catch my breath. It was impacting my life in a big way, it hardly bothers me now.
Alongside this, Gaynor has supported and guided me to divert negative and unhelpful thought patterns to much more constructive and positive ways of processing situations. I now honour my needs with increased confidence and empathy and no longer spiral in the ‘worst case scenario’ which has been a constant for me since childhood! Gaynor made me feel extremely comfortable and at ease and I thoroughly enjoyed our sessions!
I started my new job this week and have breezed through with NO ANXIETY! I’ve felt a huge shift over the past few weeks especially. I appreciate your support 🩷
Thank you Gaynor for all your support!"

PTSD
"Working with Gaynor has been a transformative experience for me. Her guidance has helped me break habits that I have struggled with since early childhood, allowing me to live more fully in the present moment. I used to spend a lot of time stuck in cycles of excessive worrying about my future and dwelling on past regrets but I am now able keep this to a bare minimum.
Through her sessions, I’ve learnt to embrace my life as it is now and find joy in the little moments. I am able to do this whilst still working on my goals and feeling optimistic about what lies ahead. I no longer think ‘I will be happy when I achieve X’ as I know my life today is too valuable to waste.
Overall, I feel healthier and happier, both physically and mentally. Gaynor is extremely compassionate and knowledgeable when it comes to trauma, coaching and holistic health. I cannot recommend her enough!"
Toxic Cycles
"I am so grateful for Gaynor’s help and support and I know that I wouldn’t be where I am now without her, I would probably be still stuck in the same toxic cycle with my ex which sounds worlds apart from where I am now. Thank you so much Gaynor, I am so grateful and have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone who needs similar support."
Social Anxiety
"I have 7 sessions with Gaynor to help with social anxiety and a fear of “being seen”. I can honestly say that the sessions have been amazing! My confidence grew beyond what I thought possible in such a short space of time. I’ve had many, many years of counselling which kept me going around in circles. Hypnotherapy help to straighten my thought process out to think in the present and to focus on the positive in an authentic way. Social anxiety has significantly reduced in familiar and unfamiliar situations which is huge for me. I feel more focused and proactive in being able to achieve my goals and to remain calmer in difficult situations. I have so much gratitude for Gaynor and the sessions." R.Jones
IBS & Racing Thoughts
"The sessions I’ve had with Gaynor have been a real game changer for me! My IBS is 90% better! Eating so much better. I feel like a completely different person, my mindset has had a whole new shift, my confidence is higher than ever and I’m so much more focused and relaxed about life. I feel like I can achieve what I set out to do. I can’t thank Gaynor enough, she’s truly magic ✨ x

"I just wanted to say thanks again for all of your help and everything you’ve done for me so far, Gaynor - you have made a big difference and I’m really beginning to see and feel that now and it’s a really lovely feeling so thank you!"
Panic Attacks & Fertility
"My entire life changed for the better. Gaynor’s wisdom, insight and advice are unmatched. Within a few sessions she had such a huge impact on my life and not just my fertility. Her advice during sessions helped me to conquer my panic attacks and get control of my anxiety."
Hoplessness
“I’ve actually felt extremely calm, relaxed, carefree and feeling much happier. So it has totally lifted a dense feeling of insecurity, a huge feeling of hopelessness (like how will I ever feel better) and now I feel like I’ve massively moved away from that hopeless feeling.”
Low-Self Esteem
"I cannot thank Gaynor enough for the incredible support she has provided me through her weekly sessions. Since becoming redundant, I've faced significant challenges with anxiety, sleep issues, and a dip in my confidence.
Gaynor has created a safe and understanding environment where I can openly express my concerns. Her guidance and strategies have been invaluable, helping me manage my anxiety and improve my sleep patterns. I’ve also seen a remarkable boost in my confidence thanks to her encouragement and practical advice.
I truly appreciate her dedication and expertise, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for support in navigating life's challenges. Thank you, Gaynor, for everything you do!"
Fertility Trauma
“When I started the sessions with Gaynor I was in a dark place, feeling anxious about the future and fearful of our next steps. Triggers were everywhere and they were sending me into a spiral of anxiety and depression all the time, After all this time I feel I am coping better with triggers by using the techniques regularly, I am allowing myself to say no and look after myself without guilt, and I feel stronger and more resilient again. I am so much more hopeful that our time will come.”
Negative Thinking
"Gaynor has a great wealth of knowledge & more importantly has a deep understanding of myself & my life issues I am facing currently. The live sessions I have had with her over a 3 month period have been amazing as she has shifted my thought patterns & self beliefs by providing me with the right information & practical activities I have undertaken with her. I would highly recommend Gaynor's business to anyone who is seeking a deep level of self help & support by such a loving & caring individual"

Specific Phobias
Toxic Cycles
"I started weekly sessions with Gaynor in December 2024. I was a couple of months into a really painful break up and was feeling really low in myself and stuck in a toxic cycle of choosing emotionally unavailable partners or partners who weren’t fully choosing me. I didn’t feel present in my life and I was ruled by my emotions which were very up and down. I have having debilitating daily panic attacks which were having a huge impact on all of my daily tasks, it was terrifying every single day and made every interaction I had with someone extremely difficult.
Gaynor explained the workings of the brain in detail and I understood how I had been stuck in my primitive brain rather than my pre frontal cortex. This explained why I was very reactive and found it hard to focus, I felt out of control and stuck.
We set small goals together during our weekly sessions. I started to learn more about how to tune into my body and listen to the signals it had already been showing me. It was challenging, we had to ensure that I worked slowly through small goals rather than taking on too much.
I started to see the shifts in my life. I am now more present and focused and I feel so much better in myself. I have a solid plan now for what I want to achieve in my life and I am steadily working towards this. I feel good in my own skin and my self confidence has dramatically improved. It’s early days but I am now dating someone who is completely different to my ex partners in a much healthier and grounded way. My friends, family and colleagues have all noticed the change in me. I do still get a little panicky on and off but nowhere near to the extent that I was, I am now feeling much more in control and my personality is able to shine through in conversations rather than constantly worrying about panicking.
I am so grateful for Gaynor’s help and support and I know that I wouldn’t be where I am now without her, I would probably be still stuck in the same toxic cycle with my ex which sounds worlds apart from where I am now. Thank you so much Gaynor, I am so grateful and have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone who needs similar support."
Mental Health Related Issues
“Gaynor was always kind and empathetic in her approach whilst also keeping us on track and focused on the issue in hand. She skilfully managed the sessions so that I felt heard and validated but that momentum towards change and progress was maintained. It was clear that Gaynor was able to draw on her experience of a range of approaches to provide a tailored and effective intervention. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for help with their mental health or related issues.”
Fertility Anxiety
“I first met Gaynor after we had been trying for a baby for just over 4 years and on our 3rd round of IVF. We had reached rock bottom and I knew I needed to do something to change my frame of mind. Gaynor went to work straight away helping me re-set my negative thoughts through guided relaxations and breathing exercises. Gaynor helped me through the many early stages of IVF from testing days to the early scans, and the tools/techniques she taught me to handle these I still use today to help me stay in the positive mind set and shift any negative thoughts. I am now 14 weeks pregnant and I can honestly say I don't think we would be where we are without the help, support, advice and guidance from Gaynor, I just wish I had met her sooner in our journey!”
