Rachael was my last stop. I am well educated, successful, and I was still deeply unhappy, somehow always managing to come just short of my goals in life. I had sought help before and thought I’d dealt with my issues and had a mature attitude to life. But still…. Rachael is hard (firm), she is honest and tenacious in getting to the root of the self-beliefs I’d formed for good reasons long ago, to protect myself, beliefs that were not negative so to speak, but were holding me back in so many ways nevertheless. Beliefs that I honestly thought were healthy and good, but actually were not at all healthy for me. Things like: to be a good person I must always help others before myself. Sounds great, but putting yourself last doesn’t help in business or relationships. It also made people respect me less. The subconscious beliefs I’d been operating under, half the time I hadn’t realised how these beliefs were affecting everything I did. Anyhow, Rachael was great, and she serves up a combination of hypnotherapy, coaching and talk therapy, physical exercises, breathwork, and homework, to get to the root of the issues and change them for good, and she does it with love and zero judgement. Investing in Rachael was one of the best investments in myself I have ever made.

When I met Rachael, I had literally tried dozens of different counsellors, reading self-help books, going to yoga, meditation… the list goes on with traditional and alternative therapies. Nothing could shake the permanent cloud that hung over me, the tears that would fall for no reason when I spoke about my past, my present, or my future. I started to think that was just how life was. I met Rachael and I just really connected with her over our first coffee and thought I would give it one last go. Now, after my sessions with Rachael, I do not even recognize the person I used to be. Rachael helped me to navigate feelings, emotions, and beliefs about myself that bound me and stopped me from achieving the things I wanted to because of fear, of failure…. of rejection… of myself. Within 6 months of working with Rachael, I got promoted, I bought a flat, I have not cried (other than at the movies), I took control of relationships, myself, and my life. I am so grateful to Rachael for everything and feel like I am finally living my life, the one I dreamed of. As I write this, I imagine someone who was in my position reading it… thinking that it can’t be…. there’s no way… honestly there is. Life is a blessing and I can finally appreciate it. Rachael’s an amazing NLP coach and hypnotherapist (amongst other things). She allows you to work at your own pace, without judgment and without pressure. Working with Rachael has been life-changing. Thank you so much from my soul.

Rachael did some work with my 12-year-old daughter who was struggling to deal with a rather difficult divorce situation. She was quite anxious at the idea of talking to anyone professionally, so we combined it with a massage, and this helped to relax her and to put her at ease. She came out of the session looking like the weight of the world had been lifted. She commented on how easy Rachael was to talk to and how ‘wise’ Rachael is. Almost overnight, my daughter turned from a rather angry, hurt little girl into a much more grounded, understanding, and open young lady. She has been back several times to see Rachael for a massage and a chat. From time to time, when she is troubled by something, she tells me it’s time for another massage! I knew I could trust Rachael to handle a very delicate situation with the great care of a professional, but at the same time with the warmth and empathy which would enable my vulnerable daughter to feel able to open up – and she did. Rachael’s insightfulness and ability to identify the issues are combined with an ability to make one feel at ease and a genuine compassion and caring for the person she is working with. I will be eternally grateful to Rachael for the difference she has made to my daughter, and to our relationship.

I found DoChange because I was looking for help managing repeated bouts of debilitating anxiety and low mood. When I started my sessions with Rachael, I felt I was at a point of crisis and felt hopeless, but that quickly began to lift as I experienced the powerful benefits of hypnotherapy and NLP. I learned so much about myself and my ability to take control of what I was experiencing, which gave me a newfound sense of empowerment. Hypnotherapy gave me the opportunity to explore and move past negative memories and experiences that were still affecting me, and dispel the negative beliefs I was holding about myself. I now have a new understanding of my emotional responses and coping techniques I can take forward in the future for any stress or anxiety that might come up. The entire experience with Rachael was so positive – she is so warm, kind, and caring in her approach – she really made me feel comfortable from the moment we met. I am so thankful for the experience I have had with DoChange and would recommend to everyone to go and see Rachael!
