Our qualified therapist is Naomi Hill. She is a qualified Advanced Clinical Hypnotherapist, to HPD and DipCAH level, and is also a trained practitioner in NLP, which is used routinely with clients as an effective means of bringing about positive change. Naomi is one of only a very small number of BWRT practitioners in Scotland, a new and ground breaking method used in facilitating change.
It is a fact that in the UK today, one in seven of us suffers with anxiety and its physical symptoms at any time. Most of us will have all experienced anxiety at some point and will know how unpleasant it can be to have overwhelming feelings of nervousness, fear and uncertainty. Yet these feelings can sometimes be useful, for example when waiting for a driving test or an exam, when feeling anxious can actually help us to feel more alert.
The good news is that research shows that when done correctly the success rate is slightly over 66%. Two-thirds might not sound like a good success rate, but given that the success rate of trying to quit on your willpower alone is just 5%, that of using behaviour therapy is just 25%, and that of using nicotine replacement products is just 25%, you can see that hypnosis is a very strong candidate indeed.
Everyone wants to get the best of themselves when it matters. Whether that is in sport, if you practice competitively or not - or at work, if you have that all important job interview or presentation. It is as human beings that we all experience fluctuations in our performance and focus.
We can be affected by all sorts of things - health, sleep quality and routine, stress levels elsewhere in our lives, diet, alcohol consumption, anxiety, etc. Often when we most need focus, calm and to give our best performance, this can sometimes elude us despite our very best efforts to influence matters in our favour.

We have been working collaboratively over many months with leading nutritionists and experts in health and the medical profession, to bring together a totally new approach, which differs from our other programmes for weight management.
This safe and highly effective programme focuses on health and nutrition in its approach to weight loss, and so is preferable for those clients who wish to take a wider view of long term health and fitness, as they work their way easily towards their desired weight and shape.

After my smoking cessation session with Naomi I am now a non smoker not only do I no longer look for a cigarette at the times I normally would have but I have no stress or anxiety I used to feel when I craved a nicotine fix. I find myself more relaxed and getting more things done,the feeling of general mental and physical well-being is amazing and I can’t recommend this session highly enough to anyone who,like myself,genuinely wants to be a non smoker.

Lockdown caused my anxiety to be at an all time high and was spiraling into in a scary place but since November 2020 Naomi has helped me battle not only my anxiety but my needle phobia too. I'm able to go to work feeling more in control of my body and my symptoms, my panic attacks aren't as often and I can control them a lot better and I've also managed to overcome my needle phobia after only 4 sessions.
I'm now waiting on my second Covid vaccine and I've never been more excited to get a one!
I can't recommend Naomi enough to anyone struggling, she's been fantastic!

One great thing to come out of lockdown was meeting Naomi on Zoom. After only 4 sessions, the intense spider phobia which was beginning to take over my daughter’s life is under control. Naomi was a pleasure to work with and I am amazed at the results she has achieved. Spiders are no longer a huge ordeal in our house!

Naomi is a must for anyone suffering anxiety, depression or stress. At the office there is a wonderful relaxed atmosphere and you can be assured that whatever your 'issue' there is no judgement only help. I have no hesitation in recommending Naomi and would urge anyone needing that little bit more help to speak with her & give it a try. Best thing I ever did!

Naomi at West hypnosis is very friendly and easy to talk to, I am 14 years old and for the 1st time i found it really easy to talk to someone about how I was feeling. She has helped me so much. I will be forever grateful the the help Naomi has gave me, I feel like I've got my life back on track.

There comes a point where it doesn't matter how big, old and daft you are - you need some help in sorting yourself out before you become completely overwhelmed by your own thoughts and where you find yourself in your life.
I've been on a bit of a roller coaster for the last few years with the "D" word, and without the support of Naomi at West Coast Hypnosis, I think I would be in a far worse place than I am now. She has helped tremendously with various facets of how I have been and help me target something for the future that will hopefully see me rid of this millstone.
It's never great to admit

I visited Naomi for a few session at the end of last year into the start of this year, for a condition which was seriously impacting my day to day life , but which i managed to hide from almost everyone, Naomi put me at my ease and made me realise i wasn't the only one with this issue and it was also something that could be "fixed". i have just returned from a stress free holiday fort the first time and my normal day to day life is so much better and easier. i am just sorry i didn't contact her years ago!
