āWe came to Andrea with quite a complex requirement for help with our 15 year old daughter. Due to eating issues she had been out of school for several months on a re-feeding programme. The return to school was proving to be very difficult due to low self-esteem and school anxiety.
The eating issues stemmed from an extreme fear of sickness (emetophobia) and that was Andreas first challenge! Andrea spent time getting to know my daughter and then used a technique called EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing therapy). This was hugely successful and after a few sessions her fear of sickness had almost completely gone. The fear she had of sickness stemming from childhood incidents have been re-framed in her brain and she doesnāt always go back to that fear in her day to day life. She is now eating much better and had the confidence to eat in other places away from home - which is a huge improvement.
Andrea then addressed the school anxiety issues that my daughter was experiencing and worked with her using a combination of hypnotherapy, NLP and mindfulness techniques. After several sessions we started to see an improvement in her confidence and she has been able to access school. Andrea has taught my daughter so many techniques that she now uses on a daily basis. Andreas ability to engage with my daughter allowed her to speak open and honestly and challenge some of her thoughts. My daughters life has almost returned to normal, she is in school and her eating is better. I credit that to Andreaās care, compassion and expertise. Andrea helped us through some very difficult times, she is a very special person.
I would not hesitate to recommend Andrea she is wonderful. Thank you for helping my daughter find herself again. ā
