I started going to see Helen a couple of months back now, completely in the dark not knowing what to expect as I've never done anything like it before. Immediately Helen put me as ease explaining how the process and the brain works. Straight away I knew I wanted to try the therapy as other interventions weren't helping my situation. After a number of visits later I feel Helen's help has changed things 100% and I'm so pleased to took the decision to make that first contact.
Helen is very caring professional and I cannot thank her enough for completely changing my work and personal life.

Where to start!?...... Helen Yorke; a friendly, warm, caring professional, who is passionate about her craft and instantly makes you feel at ease. The treatment room is a welcoming, calm place to be, with the perfect balance of relaxing sounds and scents. My 9 year old daughter has attended sessions to help with anxiety. Helen explained everything to my daughter in a way that she could understand and not feel worried about it. My daughter has really enjoyed her journey. I was able to see the small changes very quickly and now she has finished her sessions, she has a whole new outlook, which is full of positivity.
I would highly recommend hypnotherapy with Helen if you are considering an alternative therapy.

I can't recommend Helen highly enough. I lived with an absolute terror of dentists all my life. Even hearing someone mention they had an appointment would bring me out in a cold sweat. Only ever went when pain forced it (and then was horribly scared and the whole thing would be an ordeal).
Unbelievably, after a course of sessions with Helen, I am part way through a course of dental treatments to make up for those missed years. I can write those words without even a flutter of fear and anxiety.
Dental appointments are now just one of those things you do in your day.
If you are struggling with the same phobia, please do talk to Helen. I can't describe the awful terror I felt previously and this has been nothing short of magical for me.

I went to Helen because I was at a dead end. Literally. Taking antidepressants was only taking the smallest edge of a long term slog with anxiety, depression and a never ending misery that I couldn't explain. A mention in a facebook page that I followed led me to contacting Helen. The fact that she was very local to me was a massive bonus. My initial meeting was great, although I thought it was a little bit strange when Helen said to me, 'This is the best thing you are ever going to do!'...
I can honestly say, she was completely and utterly correct.
Helen explained the physical aspects of the brain and why my brain was currently making me feel the way I was. There was no hypnosis in the first meeting but I was set with a task of listening to a YouTube recording of Helen's voice, every night until we next met.
I woke up next morning with a phrase in my head. 'The future is golden.'
After eight sessions with Helen, all I can say is my life has changed immeasurably. I find it hard to put into words, the radical change I feel. Helen has changed my life! I need everyone to know how much better my life has become.
I can shrug worry off.
I don't overthink anymore.
Nights of anxiety, gone.
Things I can't change? Gone.
The future is golden!
Everything. Is. Good.
I am good, and I am worth every second of it. For the first time in my adult life I have felt JOY...
And all those things are due to Helen's help.
I could not recommend her more. If you are in doubt, please take that step. Please do it.

I have been having regular sessions with Helen for a while now and can honestly say that she is marvellous. You can’t always change someone’s embedded thought processes overnight & it has taken a while for me to reframe my mindset but my goodness it is happening at last and the results are coming. Helen is calm, patient, professional & her voice is so soothing. She is also one of the most encouraging & positive people I have ever met. Thank you Helen and viva la difference! Bring on the future 😊❤️.

Helen is my aunty. And she always wanted me to stop smoking. When I made the decision that I wanted to stop, I asked her for help.
I had tried pretty much everything over the years and was amazed at how easy it was with solution focused hypnotherapy.
It has been 4 months since my session, and I felt the effects instantly. The cravings totally disappeared, and the thought of having another cigarette doesn't cross my mind.
I would definitely recommend this for somone looking to quit, just do it.

Helen and her solution focused hypnotherapy has taken away my fear of heights in only four sessions! She is calm, professional and soothing in her approach and you feel so relaxed and safe in her company. She is a really talented therapist and I would highly recommend anyone to get in touch with her. I know she will be able to help you in whatever change you would want to make.
I am so pleased I will now be able to tick off one of my dreams from my bucket list - walking over the arch of the Sydney Harbour Bridge in the new year. Thank you Helen - you are an absolute 🌟.

Logically I was ready to stop smoking but didn't think it would really work and was a bit nervous about being hypnotised.
How could a single hypnotherapy session change a long standing habit that I partly enjoyed? We tell ourselves we will do it soon, after this or that event and just keep putting it off. I know all the reasons to stop but didn't really trust myself to be able to do it. I did it. After one session. Just like that.
I haven't had a single physical craving.
Helen helped me prepare for her session and explained how my brain needed to be relaxed to let go of the past behaviours and focus on new ones and positive energy.
I know I went into a deep relaxed state but was still aware of Helen and my surroundings but knew I was safe.
Immediately after our session I felt more alert than I have for ages and felt very positive. I listened to Helen's relaxation session at bedtime for two weeks which helped me feel relaxed.
It hasn't all been easy, I have had some stressful moments and I have worked hard to break the associations by changing my context to avoid triggers, like after a meal, and avoiding where others are smoking. I am slowly forgetting about it altogether.
I still listen to Helen's relaxation session and I think I have also learned a lot more about stress and how to manage it. I am more aware of what could be building up in that stress bucket and the importance of my wellbeing. I am so grateful for your help Helen and would encourage anybody to just do it.
I am loving my freedom.
I felt safe in your care at all times and would highly recommend your services.

Helen is brilliant at hypnotherapy!
I’ve suffered from anxiety for years and lockdown brought it home and I was feeling down. I have tried counselling, CBT and to get support over the years but nothing has ever helped. Having been to see Helen for a number of visits I am now more like my old confident self. I can deal with things and dont get all het up. I have even lost some weight as Im not feeling stressed - this is an unconscious decision. Ive felt so much calmer since the hypnotherapy with Helen. Helen is like a magic fairy! She is warm and friendly, making me feel relaxed and safe. She is dedicated to making a difference and I cannot thank her enough.🙂

I've just finished my last session with Helen and I can't thank her enough. Her excellent explanations of how our brain works and how we can successfully change our neuro paths to think and act more positively is insightful. Helen has helped me overcome depression and anxiety and helped me deal intellectually with a cancer scare during my time with her. I am confident that the solution based therapy has given me the tools to deal with the ups and downs of life in a positive, intellectual way rather than my previous negative, catastrophising way. The process is amazingly simple and Helens voice is a real comfort. Thank you Helen x

Helen has worked wonders for me! I have been suffering from anxiety or the best part of 12 years and managing it through regular exercise. What Helen has taught me in just a few weeks has equipped me with a much stronger way to tackle it. Instead of just going for a run or a swim when I'm feeling tense, I am now able to keep my 'stress bucket' empty most of the time which is an amazing feeling. Highly recommend!
