I met Nikki at a psychic fayre in Tavistock and felt that I connected with her straight away. From then I had a free consultationa and then 5 sessions. Nikki is amazing and has a weath of knowledge. She really knows her stuff. She adapted the sessions to suit me and my goals. My main concerns were my menopause hot flushes and weight amongst other things. I was amazed that after the first session of working on my hot flushes, they reduced to the odd one or two warm moments. I have so far lost half a stone, slowley but surely, but mosty of all i have my mojo back! Nikki takes time to talk to you and get to know you and all sessions were followed up with hand outs and recordings. I can't recommend her enough. I will definately be back should I need any further help with anything else. Thank you Nikki, you really have changed my life! 5 stars all the way.

I've taken part in the 6 week ideal weight programme with Nikki Hoare. Years ago I used to be overweight, yo-yo dieted for 2 decades then 6 years ago I made a lifestyle change that helped me lose the excess weight and get to a reasonably healthy state. But, those last few KGs just wouldn't shift. This summer, having followed Nikki's programme I finally managed to achieve my ideal weight and a few months on, so far so good. I genuinely don't know what to think of hypnotherapy, I'm a pragmatic person, so it's a bit woowoo, but paired with the practical advice in the introduction I can relate to, it's been successful. I'm happy to recommend Nikki's programme.

I went to see Nikki, for some help with my sugar addiction, mainly chocolate. At the time of my appointment I was eating chocolate/cakes/sugary foods everyday, it was controlling my life in some many different ways. After just a couple of sessions, I can barely look at it!! The transformation has me nothing short of incredible, Nikki did give me the option to only eat it occasionally but I didn’t personally want that, I no longer want it in my life. That’s certainly what has happened!! Nikki’s kind, empathetic, welcoming approach really put me as ease from our first meeting. Fabulous ❤️

I am writing this review for my partner Stuart Thomson. Stuart went for hypnotherapy in order to attempt to stop smoking some four and a half weeks ago, following an interim chat a week beforehand. Chris was very thorough in his explanation of how the session would be conducted and what would happen. Stuart had been a long term smoker of over 50 years smoking three packets of Amber Leaf tobacco per week. I am extremely happy to report that he hasn’t touched a cigarette since and apart from the usual habit of going outside in order to do so a few times (forgetting that he doesn’t smoke anymore), he has continued to be cigarette free. He is feeling better in himself, can taste his food far better and is feeling fitter. He is also saving around £90/week. He has no intention of ever going back to smoking. Thank you Chris for making this possible. We are entirely in your debt.

I was rather nervous and sceptical at the start but I was so desperate to stop smoking i had to give hypnotherapy a go chris soon made me feel comfortable and relaxed. I can honestly say it had been the best thing I have ever done. So if anyone needs that help to stop smoking I highly recommend chris

★★★★★★★★★★Lisa ColeOct 2024

Incredible. Chris made a terrifying hospital appointment into something very manageable. The massive phobia has gone, leaving just a tiny bit of natural anxiety that made it possible to get the treatment needed. I'm so impressed with your hypnotherapy and I can't thank you enough.

I took a huge step today & had my 1st Covid vaccine, something I couldn't have even contemplated booking 10 days ago. I haven't been near a needle since I was 19, now 45! Due to my HUGE needle phobia. I can't put into words what Chris has done for me, my friends & family. Thank you, I along with others were sceptical but as they say the proof is in the pudding. Thank you.

★★★★★★★★★★Ross CouchJun 2021

I contacted Plymhypnos as I was dreading having my Covid-19 vaccine. Chris was brilliant, he offered an excellent session that was kindly free of charge. I now feel confident that I will be alright when I go to have my vaccine despite struggling with a needle phobia.

★★★★★★★★★★Jamie WMay 2021

I got in touch because I've always been bad with needles (with a very embarrassing tendency towards falling off my chair afterwards) and was dreading my Covid jab - Chris kindly fitted me in very speedily and didn't charge, which is hugely generous. I honestly couldn't believe how quickly the session went - it felt like 5 minutes, not 90! I now have my jab booked and feel much better prepared to cope with it. Thank you so much Chris!

★★★★★★★★★★Trish WMar 2021

Treatment for needle phobia with Nikki: I was fairly skeptical about this, but very happy to give anything a try that meant not having to go to a GPto get a prescription for sedatives/benzos ahead of getting the COVID vaccination. I can't quite describe how or why, but I'm quite confident that this has worked. I've gone from feeling my heart-rate drop and feeling physically sick every time I think about injections, to feeling only slightly apprehensive. I'm now quite excited to go the the appointment when it rolls around, and before I wasn't sure whether I'd be able to physically get on my bike and cycle there when the time came. Nikki put me in to the strongest guided visualisation that I've ever experienced, and I was able to make connections to events that I'd never considered might be relevant to my phobia. Feels like months of therapy packed in to one 90 min session. I highly recommend giving it a try if you have a problem you'd like hypnotherapy to solve- I think wanting and being ready for it to work is quite key.
