Chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia
“I had a session with Katie because my chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia was at a point that it was causing me to be quite incapacitated. I was in a huge amount of pain and feeling utterly exhausted and I was just in this vicious pain cycle of being in too much pain to rest, but desperately needing to rest.
Since my session with Katie (and it’s been a few weeks now) I haven’t had a single recurrence of my fibro pain.
My fatigue has also been drastically reduced and is far far more manageable.
I am blown away that just one session was powerful enough to get rid of my fibro pain, and Katie has been so lovely, caring and supportive throughout I thoroughly recommend her. .”

Low self confidence and self esteem
I approached Katie to help me with my low self confidence and low self esteem. Katie is amazing! She is so relaxed, friendly and eloquent and radiates healing. Katie started our session by reassuring me that I was in good hands. I loved her tone of voice as she guided me through the RTT experience. I loved how attentive she was and how much she was truly in the moment and experience she was with me throughout the entire session. I was curious about my struggles, because on the outside, I appear to be successful and confident and yet on the inside I felt so low. Katie guided me to understand the root cause of why I felt so bad about myself and she helped me understand that it all had to do with experiences I’d had as a child that I was still holding onto, but now, as a grown up adult, I could let that go. The recording Katie made for me is so powerful and is allowing me to stay connected to my new vision of what I truly want, to feel confident in myself, and I do! I highly recommend Katie to anyone who's looking for a caring, transforming and qualified RTT therapist!

Confidence
“Katie has such a gift, to be able to help me open my subconscious mind and allow myself to work it out. Her passion in her voice made me feel so safe. RTT is such a great opportunity to help assist in clearing my history to be able to have a future. Katie’s transformation recording is a must have. I listen to it and it makes me feel I am worthy, I am enough, I can…. What a great feeling to be able to reconnect to yourself.”

Body image
When I came to Katie I felt as though I was presenting her with an unfair challenge, but it was something that I had suffered with for so long and I was desperate to be free of it. I wanted Katie to help me with a form of body dysmorphia that I had suffered with since my early teens. I had not tried to address it at any other time during the 40 years that passed as I was too embarrassed to draw anyone's attention to it. I consciously avoided wearing shorts or taking my top off, if at all possible, even with a doctor. But in my 30s it became impossible to hide when going on sunny, family holidays to beach resorts, and swimming with my wife and small children. My issue became worse and reinforced when I would see people stare at me and I could hear the remarks being made about me. It felt ignorant, cruel and hurtful. Even from my initial meeting with Katie I felt that I was with someone who didn't judge, and who showed nothing but warmth and care, and I felt that she wanted the very best for me as she prepared me for the session, and I was completely at ease about being hypnotised. During the session I felt Katie guide me through various steps, and at a point which felt like it was halfway through the session, I experienced a very sudden change and realisation and I remember smiling. From that point on the following steps diminished the old way I thought even more, and I felt a very empowering self image taking shape within me. The positivity was reinforced with a recording given to me to listen to for 21 days. The first test came a week after my session when a neighbour knocked at my door. I was wearing shorts and I didn't go and quickly change, and I accepted her invitation to a barbeque exactly as I was. Thank you for freeing me, Katie. You have changed the thoughts I have about myself and that has changed so much more in my life, in addition to the issue I came to you with.
I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Katie to anyone. Her smile radiates her kindness, empathy, and energy, which just add to the gifts she has as a phenomenal hypnotherapist.

Weight, diet and exercise
I needed Katie’s help with my weight, diet and exercise. From the moment we first discussed my intake form, Katie put me at ease and almost at once I knew I was in safe hands because I felt listened to and understood. I felt Katie had a great way of being warm and friendly but at the same time, professional and thorough. I had lots of questions about what would happen to me during the session and she took the time I needed to explain until I felt reassured. Katie’s energy and her ability to be down to earth and relatable stands her apart from any other therapist I’ve known. The session was exactly as Katie had said it would be and she reassured, guided and checked-in all the way through. I was comfortable and deeply relaxed throughout the hypnosis and able to talk as normal. I re-listened to my recording of our sessions for 3-4 weeks afterwards, and now, 8-months later, I’m still amazed how quickly my choices and behaviours changed….it felt like watching myself on autopilot, effortlessly making life-changing and healthy decisions that I’ve struggled with for decades. I’m naturally quite cynical, but Katie has performed some kind of miracle and I can’t thank or recommend her highly enough!

Emotional eating
I immediately connected with Katie and felt completely at ease. Her warm nature was so comforting, and she was very relatable. I’ve always struggled with snacking & sometimes binge eating. I mostly maintained a healthy diet, but I tended to leap from the wagon rather than fall & whilst I might be good all day, come the evening I would end up snacking then feeling guilty. I recognised that this was an emotional eating pattern and have done a lot of shadow work on myself but couldn’t seem to break this pattern. Through my session with Katie, I found the root had nothing to do with what I had originally suspected and been working on! Memories surfaced that I had no previous recollection of but made total sense to why I was covering my feelings with food. Since my session I have noticed the desire to snack has significantly decreased and I have found I am maintaining a balanced diet with ease. I feel so much freer and in control. I highly recommend working with Katie as she has a unique gift at facilitating the process and holds the space beautifully for you to go deep into your subconscious. You’ll be surprised at what can be uncovered, and how seemingly insignificant events in childhood can have such an impact on your habits as an adult - and by uncovering those you can shift yourself into a whole new upgraded way of being. Thank you so much Katie

Low self confidence and self esteem
This was my very first RTT session, I was quite nervous and very excited at the same time. My apprehension vanished as soon as Katie called me on Zoom and we started chatting. She is a beautiful lady with an amazing ability to connect with the client even through a flat screen. Katie's friendly, comforting personality put me at ease within seconds. All through the session she was very attentive and absolutely on my wavelength. My problem, I turned to her with, was confidence. While we were casually chatting and also filling out the intake form, she quite rightly pointed out, that my presenting problem is not so much confidence but self-esteem and rather the lack of it. I was very impressed how good she was at picking it up as my issue. The intake was amazingly smooth, and it was similar to chatting to a friend, which I really liked. Going into hypnosis seemed quite straight forward and easy. The scenes didn't come easily but with Katie's guidance I managed to go back to them. As far as I had been concerned, my confidence self-esteem issues stemmed from my mum's strict and consistent way of bringing me up. But NO, it was to do with school bullies and the immense stress of failing to achieve. It felt so liberating. I love my mum so much but in the back of my mind I always thought that she couldn't accept me, whereas it was to do with my perception of what I suffered from my peers. I was and I am ecstatic. At the end of the session, I was so happy, I phoned my mum straight away and told her everything. She was very happy for me and wasn't hurt by my presumption. After the session, I was light as a feather, felt free and loved. Listening to the recording made me a new person. I never doubt myself and my abilities and my relationship with my mum is just bliss. I can handle our differences much better, and I can't believe I had ever thought she was the reason behind my issue. According to my husband, I'm glowing. I feel like it too. Thank you Katie for freeing me from self-doubt and making my relationship with my mum just perfect.

Stress eating
Absolutely fabulous session with Katie Vinyard on the subject of “stress eating”. Katie helped me get to the roots of why I found it so difficult to function normally around food and I can now confidently say that I’m released from that burden. Thank you Katie - you are a legendary hypnotherapist

Examination confidence
I had a session with Katie for my anxiety over up and coming exams, I needed help with not only the anxiety but also the fact I was worrying about retaining what I was learning in order to pass them. Katie's session taught me what was at the root of this issue I had - it was transformational because she helped me understand why! The bespoke audio recording she made for me was such a benefit as it takes me into deep deep relaxation which in turn helps me with my studying and retaining important things I learn in order to pass. I have much more confidence in myself than ever before and also I'm a different person in terms of my anxiety as I fully understand what was causing me to be like this. I highly recommend a session with her to anyone looking for a better quality in their life of any sort because RTT gets right to the root of why you experience certain issues in your life, do it and you will never look back! She's just fantastic at what she does.

Sleep issues
I had a session with Katie to deal with my sleep issue. Before the session, I couldn't get myself to sleep on regular times as I dealt with anxiety of not being able to complete my to-do list/daily tasks. Katie is very skilled in her job as a therapist as she was able to get to the root cause and help me understand the reason for the presenting problem. I had an aha moment where I just felt the shift. Post the session, I have felt a wave of freedom and my to-do lists no longer seem burdensome to me. This has also enabled me to sleep when its time without the inner conflict. I would definitely recommend Katie if you are looking for a wonderful therapist, who is patient in listening and will help you understand the cause of the issue in a very empathetic manner, as that's the key to bring about the transformation.

Relationships
Katie is a phenomenal therapist! Her vibes, kind words, therapeutic skills and big love for people have made a long-lasting imprint in my heart. I cannot thank her enough. I came to see Katie to deal with my lack of confidence in a successful relationship with a man. Before the meetings, I did not know, deep down, I did not believe I was worthy of a good man. Katie helped me discover the root causes of why I may have this belief. She encouraged me to break through from the past and start to believe there is a good man out there for me. I shall not lose faith. She also created the most amazing transformational audio for me to listen for 21 days. It is truly an enjoyment to listen to her voice. I feel it is my honour to have met Katie; and I am so glad she is my therapist. I highly recommend her.

Family & Relationships
I had coaching from Katie whilst going through an extremely tough and challenging time in my life within my family. I was completely at the end of my tether, felt so lost for how to deal with this situation, I have always coped well otherwise but this was something I could never have gotten through on my own. Katie is extremely nurturing and went in depth with me to help me to find the answers I needed, and for me to realise I had the answers I needed inside! I just could not have done this on my own and I didn't feel like I was in a coaching session because I was at such ease with her. After each session I felt closer and closer to where I needed to be to go through this time of my life having the strength and confidence, I had lost but really had to have. Now I am absolutely equipped to handle any future challenges that come along my way due to my overall experience with her and also have my amazing 'go to' tool kit that she taught me to use in any challenging situations - which are invaluable!!! Thank you Katie, you truly have made a huge shift happen in my life.

Procrastination
I had a coaching session with Katie to help me deal with my procrastination around several issues that I have just allowed to stagnate for years. Hiding behind being busy and working hard but maybe not clever. The session with Katie gave me new impetus to tackle things I have shelved for decades and to seize the opportunity to get my house in order as it were. I didn't have a passport, I do now, I had not done anything towards setting up my own business, I am taking definite agreed steps towards that now. It was a case of examining the tasks I was delaying completing and getting on with it. Katie's calm kind advice and encouragement made it impossible for me to stay hiding in my rut! She ensured I had an action plan in place and it was very much my action plan and I felt able to get on with the various small tasks I needed to complete to break my inertia and reach my bigger goals.. I have no hesitation in recommending Katie to anyone for coaching, she is knowledgeable, diligent and professional. Katie demonstrates great empathy and helps you feel empowered and able, no beating about the bush but kind and understanding and helping you take steps in the right direction, a direction I found a lot easier to understand and make strides on after talking to Katie about it. Its also great to have her as a cheerleader, to help you appreciate that what stops you taking action is not insurmountable it just needs to be looked at and tackled in a more empathetic and human way. That any step in the right direction is worth celebrating and that being kinder to yourself and not losing yourself in task orientated activity is a good way to break free and move on.

Vision & Headaches
I had a session with Katie to deal with vision issues. Before the session I used to have tired eyes, headaches, and blurred vision. During the session, I was able to recognize the root, and cause of this issue. Since the session I am able to identify why certain negative emotions are coming up. Katie has been very professional and helpful. She has been checking on me regularly.

Finding Love
Katie had literally changed my life and my perception of love.
During the session we had, she helped me understand why I had so many broken relationships in my life and why I couldn't find true love ,which was so powerful and liberating!
​
Katie tailored an amazing transformational recording for me, which was a blessing to listen to and helped me manifest true love.
In a couple of months after the session I found a loving, kind and amazing person that loves me unconditionally and values me for who I am.
I'm immensely greatful for Katie's help and I highly recommend her!
Nail Biting
Tom
I was recommended to Katie by a friend as I was embarrassed about my habit of biting my nails and decided that I needed to stop before my 30th birthday
They told me how lovely she was and that I would feel comfortable with her which I did immediately
I was not entirely sure how she was going to help me as I had tried stopping before but nothing had worked, I couldn’t see how talking about it was going to help but I thought id give it a try anyway.
​
The session uncovered where it started, and I had an aha moment. I instantly felt a shift and I am pleased to say that I haven’t bitten my nails since and that was over 3 months ago. My nails are not perfect as I have bitten them for so long that they are damaged, but they do look and feel so much better and and I no longer need to hide my hands when talking to people. My girlfriend is delighted that she doesn’t have to sit and watch me continuously bite and pick my nails!
Thanks, Katie for our session it was great

Confidence & Self Worth
From the 1st moment I met Katie I felt completely at ease . Katie helped me feel relaxed with her calm voice and her confidence in her ability to be able to help me was very reassuring and I felt safe and in good hands . During hypnosis I felt at ease and in control. Katie helped me understand how my childhood experiences , what they meant to me and how that negative self-belief was playing out in my life today . Although there were a few tears , they were a healthy release for me and a chance to let go . For me my Session with Katie will always be a turning point in my life . I still have my memories, but they don’t have the same power over my emotions anymore I still have my moments, but I know a better way of thinking now I’m free . Thank you Katie
