Kathleen Phythian Advanced Hypnotherapy — Hypnotherapy service in Liverpool, England

Judging from Kathleen’s Instagram (lots of conspiracy, racist and religious posts) and lack of reviews in recent years I can only imagine she’s stopped practice but I wanted to leave a review regardless. I spent all my savings on our sessions and ran out of money, in which she encouraged me to ‘find other savings’ and warned me off anti-depressants despite how unwell I was. She would join our sessions from her sofa which would make loud squeaks on the video calls which was distracting but refused to move. Overall I spent over £1,000 with her during the worst period of my life and desperately wish I would have spent it with a registered psychotherapist earlier.

After having a year of counselling I felt I had started to claw my life back together but I still had a fear of driving. I contacted Kathleen and she said she could help me. I had 6 sessions with her and she changed everything. I passed my test 4 years ago but never got in a car as I was to afraid but after the 5th session I was driving home from Liverpool city center, it was a miracle! Initially I was sceptical but willing to try anything and I'm so glad I did it. For me counselling was like cleaning your house and rearranging the furniture, but hypnotherapy was like cleaning the loft out and getting rid of stubbon issues. I highly recommend Kathleen she was amazing.

I spoke to Kathleen via FaceTime for just over two months, I hand crippling anxiety with daily panic attacks that had been going on for 6 months. We spoke twice a week via FaceTime and I felt an immediate effect with feeling calm and gradually got better over the two months. Since our last session I haven’t experienced any panic attacks or anxiety. I finally feel present and like myself again and am able to stay in the moment which wasn’t possible before. Kathleen made me feel very calm and safe over the phone.

After being skeptical about the entire practice, one conversation with Kathleen made me want to at least give it a try. I was nervous and anxious to go and explain my problem but the second I stepped in I was put at ease and assured I was in complete control. I can't thank Kathleen enough for transforming my life, something that I thought I'd be stuck with for the rest of my life was gone in less than 2 months. I can't express enough how important it is that if you have problems you are ready to fix, give Kathleen a call. They're not permanent.

I can’t begin to thank Kathleen enough for our sessions together. After various therapies for health anxiety Kathleen is the first person to really help me overcome it. As well as this I have made massive improvements in my family relationships and other areas I had avoided for so long. Kathleen is so approachable and friendly, I looked forward to our sessions and always felt so positive afterwards. I will really miss seeing Kathleen weekly! Thank you for changing my life just in time for my baby girl arriving.

Having tried and failed to manage my own relationship with food and binge eating throughout my life, and especially during 2020, I contacted Kathleen to arrange an appointment before Christmas. Kathleen was so enthusiastic and keen to help and I had my first session booked in within a week of calling. Having attended for five sessions I now feel ready and able to manage disordered eating and feel as healthy and happy as I can remember being in recent years. I honestly don't think I would have been able to break the cycle of binge eating and guilt without Kathleen's expert help. I have found hypnotherapy to be a truly life changing experience and would highly recommend Kathleen's services to anyone who thinks they have tried everything and have nowhere else to turn. Thanks so much Kathleen and best wishes for the future.

After being a survivor of years and years of Narcissistic abuse I got in contact with Kathleen to see if she could help me get rid of all the remaining consious and subconscious issues that I could not shirk off due to that abuse. After a good consultation (a really good gab as she is such an lovely easy going and down to earth person) I learned that she too has suffered the same abuse as I had and completely understood where I was coming from and which way I wanted to direct my life in. She made me feel comfortable and relaxed in her presence and I had no issues in trusting her with my delicate mushy mind. Even after just a few sessions I could notice a considerable difference in myself, confidence, happiness, calmness. Things that I had thought I could never feel ever again. By the end of my time with Kathleen the immense feeling of finally cutting that emotional cord was life changing for me. I feel great and I am now looking forward to a bright future with plenty of new opportunities that I never thought I could achieve. I strongly recommend this amazing lady she has helped me turn my life around.

I’d initially contacted Kathleen in the midst of what felt like a 6 month long panic attack... the level of anxiety I was experiencing daily was out of control and effecting my life immensely. From the minute I first spoke with Kathleen over the phone, she made me feel at ease, with her nonjudgmental and empathetic approach I felt safe and understood. Although my journey with Kathleen and hypnotherapy is not over yet, the progress I’ve made so far has helped me undoubtedly deal with past traumas and how they were effecting my current life. Highly recommend not only as a professional hypnotherapist but also a kind caring ear.

I visited Kathleen last year, I was still searching to be fully free of depression and physical stress symptoms; I'd had hypnotherapy in the past but this time it was like Kathleen had helped me to 'clear out all the debris' and now I feel free again. I now feel really relaxed and content, I even got pregnant in my 40's after trying to conceive for 15 years! I think visits to Kathleen cured my mental physical state. She is a also a lovely person to talk to. A weird thing to say maybe, but I miss going!

I've gone through a hell of a journey with Kathleen, and I came out on the other side feeling fantastic, optimistic and extremely content in life. When I first met Kathleen I was miserable and angry all the time, and I felt so alone as I was burdened with tonnes of shame and guilt. I had (what I felt at the time), tonnes of insurmountable problems and weird behaviours. I never imagined in a million years I could be even half the person I am today. I am so grateful for everything Kathleen has done for me, and all the patience and empathy she has shown throughout. A true professional through and through; I would recommend her to anyone struggling with any type of personal issue in a heartbeat.
