I came to Rachael, because I knew that whilst what I was doing was working, I was not doing the best I possibly could at the level I was.
I knew I was fundamentally capable of going to even greater heights, but had exhausted my own personal toolbox to help myself.
RACHAEL is a personal and professional empowerment coach and helped me find the subconscious beliefs holding me back from achieving personal, creative and professional fulfilment.
Rachael helps you ‘do change’. If you are open to exploring on a very personal level, how to shift limiting, unresourceful, or negative thinking and behaviours, then you should come to Rachael. She uses a variety of techniques and methodologies to help you, finding customised solutions for you because she recognises that each client is unique.
I’m extremely grateful to Rachael for the empathetic, safe space she provided for me to share intimate aspects of my history with not a shed of judgement. This allowed me to go deep and really work through the emotional blocks I was unaware I’d been carrying.
I’m deeply grateful and would thoroughly recommend Rachael!
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 new found 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 about my emotional responses and coping techniques I can take forward in the future for any stress/ 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!

I went to see Rachael with fairly average expectations based on previous therapy experiences. Rach is an amazing listener and very good at what she does. She did a great job of driving to get to root issues without being pushy.
I felt 100% at ease in her company – she was open, genuine and friendly in every session. I also felt that I could call outside of sessions if I needed to which, for me, really highlighted how much she genuinely cares and made it very easy to put my trust in her.
I had not long stopped taking antidepressants when I had my first session and was very fearful of slipping back down that slope. But – while things don’t happen overnight and I know there will be challenges in future (and in fact I would like to continue to see Rach on an ad hoc coaching basis) – right now I can honestly say that I don’t feel I will need to go back to medication.
Rach helped me enormously and is by far the best therapist I’ve worked with – I would 100% recommend her to family and friends.
I decided to see Rachael as I was feeling slightly lost and couldn’t get myself out of a constant feeling of being stuck in a hole. Even if something positive happened I could never enjoy it fully because I was enjoying the positive from the bottom of the hole. I also had unhealthy relationships with family members which were making me dread going back home for visits. These relationships were bringing me down too, I felt like I was getting nothing out of them just acting as the person who sorted out problems.
I didn’t know what to expect from hypnotherapy but Rachael made the sessions so relaxed and comfortable. Each session you were greeted with a herbal tea and fizzy water and made to feel at home. Rachael is a very easy person to open up to and her ability to review discussions from the previous week and offer advice was amazing.
I always left the sessions feeling enlightened in some way. I feel so much better than I thought I would. I feel so much more positive. Even during the times when I feel naturally fed up with something that has happened I just don’t feel as bad as before I had the hypnotherapy sessions. I feel so much stronger and I am able to give advice and support to friends that are going through problems. My relationships with family members are so much better. Since the sessions I have had the strength to have open conversations with family members talking through the issues I had with them.
I can’t recommend Rachael enough. She is such a lovely person and you really feel like she has a real interest in you and takes enjoyment out of seeing people improve. If I were ever to experience a bad patch in life again I would definitely return to Rachael to help me through it.

Rachael was absolutely brilliant in accommodating my time-pressured request for therapy to cope with my performance anxiety. I called Rachael just under a week before my piano performance exam. While I understand that this one-off session by all means didn’t solve all my problems, Rachael did her best to maximise the outcome within the limited amount of time we had.
Unlike the previous therapy sessions I had experienced with another professional in the field, Rachael’s method required a much more active role to be played on my part. I felt very present in the session and felt like while Rachael was guiding me, I was the one who actively had to go through the changes. It was exhausting but I definitely felt the mental change straight away.
It was a very practical application that I learnt to execute on my own. During my exam, while I still experienced some level of anxiety, I managed to recall what I had been through with Rachael and succeeded to pull myself together, into a much more relaxed state and enjoy the experience.
Rachael directs a lot of care and passion at you, but she is also willing to challenge you and she seems to know when you need this more direct approach!
I had accepted that my body was always going to feel a certain way and with that came a sort of entrenched mentality about some things… well, Rachael showed me how to shatter that mind set, which was truly liberating and joyful! I think I’m more aware now that if certain stresses come along & I may be repetitively behaving in a negative way, I can recognize it, then change it.
Rachael went to great effort to ensure I was comfortable and could totally relax during the sessions, which meant I could engage much more in the therapy. There were moments when I found the therapy emotionally draining, but Rachael never gave up on being anything other than optimistic and determined. Her zeal and energy drives you through the therapy and ultimately gets you to a palace where you feel equipped to make positive changes.

When I reached out for Rachael, I was feeling down and upset, but mostly I was questioning my own abilities and had low self-esteem. I knew that I had to change my mentality and I needed some help, a facilitator. I could completely trust Rachael and after coming to terms with myself I approached her. She made it clear to me that she could help me, facilitate the process, but it was up to me to change. It was important that she reminded me of that a few times, as I was resistant to changing when I felt scared. I wished I could outsource it to her, but thanks to her reminders I could take ownership and use her valuable help to go on and change.
The process wasn’t easy and I had to face a lot of my fears. However, facing them with Rachael’s support was better ad achievable.
The result was letting go of many and building strength to face new challenges by myself. To illustrate how I felt about the process, I’d tell you the following – it was as if ‘I’ (my consciousness), talked to her and then she talked back to ‘me’ (my sub-consciousness. By that I mean that she facilitated the link between I and myself.
It was a really wonderful experience that will help me through the final months, let alone the labour so thank you very much
I feel the hypnotherapy really helped me and my confidence is so much better than it was. I quit my part time job about a year ago and now I’m making more money doing just [business] alone 🙂 ‘
My fiance’ and I are getting married in 3 months time so that’s all very exciting! I’m feeling positive about the future and just wanted to say thank you for being part of my journey.
I hope your hypnotherapy business is going well and that you’re busy.
’m probably one of the most difficult clients for a hypnotherapist, because I also have expertise in what Rachael Hudson does. She has a special talent for helping me get past my intellectual barriers, right to the heart of what is important. With her direct and well considered approach and hawk-eyed ability to spot my little resistances, she has helped me to make more than one really significant breakthrough in managing my health and wellbeing.
This has been so valuable in those areas where I’ve been unable to help myself. My admiration for Rachael is enormous. Not only is she deeply skillful and professional, but she has a sensitivity and compassion that makes it so easy to accept her help, and to feel safe. She can also be tough and insistent when it is needed. I like the way she keeps in touch and follows up to see how I’m doing. I trust Rachael with my most personal of issues, because I know she has absolute integrity.
In my experience, Rachael Hudson is an excellent and highly effective therapist, and I want to recommend her wholeheartedly.

I was at a point in my life when I’d try anything from crystals to chanting, but thankfully NLP proved to be something completely different. On the day of our session I was hesitant, expectant, nervous and excited; and of course not entirely sure what to expect. What I did hope for though was a change, and I was ready for that as I’d spent many years of my life feeling empty and trying to find something to fill the void.
….Fundamentally, with Rachael’s approach, the change comes from within the client and being ready to make that change is the first positive step. During our session there were plenty of tears, plenty of laughs and huge amounts of soul searching, but I came out of it refreshed, as if I’d woken up after a very long nightmare. I’d never really realised how shockingly awful I’d felt about myself and life in general until Rachael and I had our session. The really strange thing is since my first session with Rachael, it’s not just how much better I feel inside, but also the comments I’ve had from other people “You look ten years younger”, “where have you been on holiday?”, “What’s happened? That’s a very cheeky smile”, I’ve even given up smoking!
I consider myself very lucky to have had the chance to work with Rachael. Life changes for the better every day, and each day I wake up ready to enjoy that day rather than rolling over and trying to catch up on the sleep I was losing having nightmares.
I went to Rachael at a time when I felt particularly low. She helped me to overcome issues with my self-confidence and the effect that had on my personal relationships. We began by speaking about problems I wanted to deal with and how those may have arisen so that Rachael had a thorough understanding of the triggers we had to work on.
I was pleasantly surprised by the hypnotherapy treatment: both in the way it worked; and the results it achieved. I had been cynical about this type of therapy but was intrigued and was in a place where I wanted to do whatever I needed to, to help myself feel better. I found hypnotherapy deeply relaxing and it cleared my mind in a way I’d never achieved alone. Very quickly, I was able to calm myself down when I was feeling anxious by using techniques Rachael had taught me.
The results, after just six sessions, were better than I could have hoped for. I felt I had the courage to find some direction. I immediately ended a bad relationship and embarked on a healthy, happy new one! Not only this, but I felt generally confident and less anxious. Rachael is a calming influence, a great listener and guides the way to finding your own direction.
I was fortunate enough to work with Rachael to help with my weight loss.
Having tried to lose weight in the past on my own, I knew I wanted someone to help me on the way and give me some internal emotional and mental support for my goals that was lacking.
Rachael was a brilliant therapist – knowing exactly when to push me and when to listen. I wouldn’t have made the progress I did without her.
When I met Rachael, I wanted to form a ‘natural’ weight loss habit and that’s what she did for me. I left her feeling great and seeing the numbers on my scales moving steadily downwards without any crazy crash diets or gimmicks.
I would recommend Rachael and DōChange to anyone looking for hypnotherapy or help with weightloss. At every turn she will make you feel relaxed, supported and give you the results you’re looking for.”
I hadn’t been feeling myself for a long time, months certainly. I felt under serious pressure at work and for the first time in my life I found myself feeling uncomfortable in social situations, struggling to make conversation. Sleeping was difficult and I seemed to spend my nights and days worrying. I felt like the wrong person was inside my head.
Out of the blue, I saw a hypno-therapy ad on a noticeboard. I took down the number and let it sit in my wallet for a few days before finally deciding to try it out. I regard most things in life with a healthy degree of scepticism and I admit as I made my way to meet Rachael for the first time I gave the experience about a 50/50 chance of having any sort of effect. Rachael immediately put me at ease and encouraged me to talk and relax.
Our first session provided me with an opportunity to “bring out my dead”, verbalise the negative thoughts and emotions that had been on repeat inside my head. What felt like a few minutes was actually a few hours. I was out in the pub with some friends that weekend and noticed the banter flowing more easily than it had for a while. Over the course of the next three or four months I met with Rachael maybe 6 or 7 times.
Each session was different and covered different areas, not necessarily by my design or Rachael’s, but whatever came up. Whatever needed to come up. Rachael often gave me a little exercise to do or a technique to try out, each designed to help with a particular aspect which I felt I needed help with, such as stress or handling difficult people and situations.
There was no specific turning point, or at least no one single eureka moment but over a relatively short period of time things started to get a little better in my life. Work started to flow much better and I started to get recognised and praised more and be less hesitant. My sleep patterns improved and my social relationships got back on an even keel. I seemed to get my mojo back.
That’s not all though. I felt more confident generally and started once again to really enjoy life. Wednesday night is salsa night these days. Rachael would say that I was the one who helped myself get through the door and I guess she is right, however I would say back that she was the person who helped me decide to make the move, pack my bags, pointed out the door and hinted to me where to get the key to open it. She is a skillful, effective and wise therapist who shows she genuinely cares through listening, observing, playing back and helping make sense of what modern life leaves us with in our heads. I genuinely feel Rachael has made a positive difference to how I choose to live my life. In the year
