I had a great experience, very professional and comfortable which helped put me at ease during the session. I had been smoking ON/OFF for over 20 years, one session with Havina and I haven't touched or thought about one since.........this was over a year ago now. I waited this long before leaving an review, to see if the therapy would stand the test of time and it has. I am over the moon to say I am a none smoker.....Thank you soooo much x

I went to Star Hypnotherapy with quite severe anxiety issues. In total I have had 5 sessions with her and I saw a quite surprising and dramatic improvement. The practitioner is lovely and she effectively "lives" and practices her own teachings, is incredibly approachable and down to earth.

Star Hypnotherapy provides a professional, caring service and certainly helped me with my issues. Hypnotherapy can be expensive but this service offers package deals to help reduce the cost. I had three sessions of hypnotherapy and bought a CD to continue with at home. I don't believe there is a definite cure for the issues dealt with but I can now manage my difficulties a lot easier and it has stopped interfering in my life. I understand that hypnotherapy might not be for everyone but it has worked wonders for me.
