Lauren was recommended to me by a friend. Lauren is very professional and made me feel at ease and relaxed straight away. I wanted help with eating habits and weight loss. I am amazed at how this has worked and changed the way I look at food. I would highly recommend Lauren.

Posted on Sarah Cunliffe15 October 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have a severe needle phobia & after several failed attempts to go to have necessary bloods done I was desperate. I researched the best way to try to get over this I came across hypnotherapy. I googled the best in my area & found Lauren at Fylde Hypnotherapy & I’m so happy I did (although I was a little sceptical!). She was so caring, kind & professional. After just 3 sessions I have actually been & had my bloods done, with no nerves or anxiety. I have now booked in for a stop smoking session, thank you so much Lauren, forever grateful from StevePosted on Claire McCarthy29 September 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t put into words how much Lauren has changed my life. Before seeing her, even simple things like the school run or popping to the shops would trigger panic and anxiety. Just one session later, I’ve gone a whole week completely free from it. The biggest test was a trip to Alton Towers. I was surrounded by crowds, faced long queues, and yet I felt calm and confident throughout. For the first time in so long, I felt like myself again. I honestly feel free, and I’m so grateful to Lauren for giving me back my confidence and peace of mind.Posted on Alexandra Smith13 July 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I got told about Lauren from a family member who'd also been for hypnotherapy. I went a month ago for my nail biting habit that I have had for 26 years. Lauren was so lovely and made me feel really calm while in the appointment. Since the appointment I have found that my habit is massively reduced and that I notice when I go to bite my nails and stop myself. This has made me feel so good and proud of myself because for the first time in forever my nails are actually growing. Thank you Lauren you've really helped me stop this habit 😄Posted on Lisa Rayner13 July 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I took my 12 year old son to Fylde Hypnotherapy for his fear of flying. His first flight after the sessions was amazing, he was like a different child. I am so glad it worked, he now isn't scared and has many more opportunities available to him.Posted on Lynn Mallinson3 June 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Lauren is extremely professional and made me feel at ease straight away. I would definitely recommend (and have 😊)Posted on Sarah Chapman4 May 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Would highly recommend Fylde Hypnotherapy. I have smoked over 40 years without success at quitting. Recently my health dictated I needed to try something to quit for good this time. I booked in with Lauren who listened without judgement as to the reasons why I smoke, the reasons I didn't want to quit as well as recognising the reasons I needed to quit. It was the best thing I did. I haven't smoked for over 4 weeks now and I know this time will be successful. Thank you LaurenPosted on Abigail Welsby18 February 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lauren has been truly life-saving with her experience, knowledge and expertise, and has helped us where other NHS practitioners have not. I have recommended her to countless others who have children who are struggling with anxiety, EBSA, anorexia etc both personally and professionally. I would recommend Lauren in a heartbeat. You will not be disappointed and your life as a family will be changed for the better, undoubtedly.Posted on Maria Walsh17 February 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I contacted Lauren because I wanted to manage my anxiety and sleep better. I found the hypnotherapy extremely relaxing and have experienced a great improvement regarding my anxiety and sleep. I have recommended Lauren to my friends and would go back to her if I had issues with other things as I believe it’s made a lasting difference in my life. Thanks Lauren, for listening and all your help.
