What my clients say

Here are a few comments from some of my recent clients, you can read more such comments on my Testimonials page.

"Christy, thanks to you I was able to go out and embrace the atmosphere, felt positive and was filled with pride when I put my GB kit on and loved it. I have come away with so many wonderful memories and a taste of what international competition is all about." - Cindy Goslar, Triathlete

"I visited Christy for smoking cessation hypnotherapy. In the past I have had numerous unsuccessful attempts at quitting including hypnotherapy from another practitioner several years ago. After a single session she managed to motivate me to stop smoking very effectively and two months in I remain a successful non-smoker. I have not caved-in or been tempted once. In our session Christy combined a very relaxing nature and persuasive, tailored argument to help me achieve my goal. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Christy to anybody considering hypnotherapy to stop smoking or any other personal change." - Robin, Woking

"Christy is by far the best hypnotherapist I've ever visited. She's been able to help me gain clarity on a number of things and make several big improvements to my home and work life. To anyone thinking about seeing a hypnotherapist I say go for it, but make sure it's Christy that you visit!" - John B, Aldershot

Are AI tools really changing the way mental health therapies are provided? Like it or not, AI tools appear to be reshaping the way mental health services are delivered. The main benefits are that they help to expand access, enhance personalisation, and support the therapists and clinicians in their work. But could AI actually replace the therapist altogether? There seem to be many positives to both therapist and client - AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants now have the ability to provide immediate, low-cost support to individuals who might otherwise face barriers such as long waiting lists, high costs, or geographic limitations. These tools can guide users through evidence-based exercises, offer coping strategies, and even detect when someone might need urgent human intervention. By lowering the threshold for seeking help, AI makes mental health support more accessible and reduces the stigma some people feel when reaching out for care. For clinicians, AI is becoming a valuable partner in diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment planning. Natural language processing can help analyse patterns in speech or text to identify early signs of depression, anxiety, or other conditions. Machine learning models can also track patient progress over time, flagging changes that might indicate relapse or worsening symptoms. This data-driven support allows mental health professionals to focus their time where it’s needed most—on human connection and therapeutic work—while AI manages routine monitoring and insights. One of the biggest risks of relying on AI alone in mental health care is the loss of genuine human connection. While AI tools can offer useful support, they lack the empathy, intuition, and 'gut-feel' understanding that a trained therapist brings to the table. Without human intervention, there’s a danger that someone might feel unheard or misunderstood, especially when dealing with complex emotions or trauma that require sensitivity and deep listening. AI can also miss subtle cues in body language, tone, or context that a human therapist would pick up on. In the worst cases, this could mean overlooking signs of crisis or giving generic advice when tailored, compassionate guidance is needed. In summary, my view is that mental health support works best when technology and human care work hand in hand. So, while ethical concerns around privacy and empathy remain, AI is not replacing therapists but rather complementing their expertise, helping create more proactive, efficient, and patient-centered mental health care. It's becoming more readily accepted that AI can enhance the process, but it cannot replace the healing power of real human connection. If you have had experience of working with AI powered mental health support, I would be delighted to hear your views and feedback. Please get in touch: christy@christyhypnotherapy.com x
