Fear of Loss and OCD

Therapy with Dora has completely changed the way I think and deal with situations.  I feel so much more confident than before in myself, and in knowing whatever happens , I can help myself move through difficult times with the tool kit I have built up. I have an overall more positive outlook on life, and OCD and Fear of Loss are no longer a “problem” to me.  If those feelings arise, I just deal with them with less drama-and less beating myself up.  I cannot thank Dora enough for what she has done for me and would not hesitate to recommend her to friends and family!  Thank you Dora !!!

Social Phobia, fear of crowded places, fear of flying, insomnia and PTSD from secondary school bullying

I recommend Dora because she has helped me in 13 sessions to overcome my phobias, build my self-esteem and overcome fear of bullies, and has helped me establish a solid sleep pattern. She is very calming and makes you feel comfortable and safe.

Post-traumatic stress, PTSD, as a consequence of non-consensual sexual experience

My goal was to feel more confident commencing and in an intimate relationship and move forward from trauma. After 7 sessions I trust and believe in myself, have initiated dates and feel calm. I would recommend Dora to anyone who wants help with dealing with struggles and I love her approach.

Insomnia for 43 years

Thanks to you I’ve got my sleep and Mojo back.

OCD

Working with Dora was transformative for me. I have struggled with anxiety, depression and OCD for a very long time. I had many bouts of therapy using different techniques. Dora’s therapy and Hypnotherapy was by far the best for me, and life-changing. I cannot recommend Dora enough.

Long-term generalized anxiety

I feel I have more control, and I really feel confident that my goals will be achieved. Before the work with Dora I would not recover well from a day of anxiety. I can now visualize how I want to feel, and not worry how I did feel. Honestly I’ve tried so many things over the last two years, I could write an essay on it.
Dora has achieved more than any doctor or anyone else I have spoken to or educated myself with. I would recommend Dora 100 % to others.

Quit Smoking

From the moment I had stepped into Dora’s office, she made me feel welcome and comfortable. She has an easy, enthusiastic and curious way about her, that made the initial questionnaire/assessment stage pleasant and interesting, but I’ll hold off from spoilers. She seemed knowledgeable when explaining psychological/neurobiological basis of substance dependence and how hypnotherapy treatment works, checking if I follow from time to time and inviting questions for full transparency. The hypnotherapy session was pleasant, and I was also given a recording to listen to every night, in order to strengthen the effects of the session (which I did). I didn’t feel tempted to smoke for three weeks now and have refused offers of cigarettes from others on multiple occasions since. What also surprised me is that I didn’t experience the agitation surrounding withdrawal, but instead felt like I did before I started smoking. Having had 13 unsuccessful attempts in the past, I didn’t have high expectations, but I now have the confidence in being able to quit for good that I didn’t have in the past. I have recommended Dora’s services to friends and colleagues, and, I will be coming back to make a lasting change in another area of my life. Many thanks!
