Testimonials
“I had a fantastic experience working with Jennifer. Over the course of our sessions, she guided me through transformative steps that greatly helped me, especially as I was navigating the end of a challenging work period. What I appreciated most was her focus on the present and future - she didn’t dwell on the past, but instead helped me take small, meaningful steps toward my goal of feeling more secure and overcoming social anxiety. Her encouragement to try new things, like attending meetups and exploring new hobbies, really pushed me out of my comfort zone in the best way. Each session was insightful and uplifting, and I left with practical, empowering lessons that I’ll carry forward. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to make positive changes in their life.”

“What a beautiful safe space to heal and find sustainable peace. Jennifer shapes her hypnotherapy style to fit each client and took such care in observing and listening to my needs for therapy. She would adapt each trance to the amount of pain I’m in or depending how much time and concentration I had dependent on my ADHD.
I felt so encouraged to work on self care outside of sessions too, being given small, manageable tasks for me that help find a little stability and healing in my everyday life. I was also given a great amount of resources, including tapes, scientific information about the brain and self soothing practices to help me access a state of calm even when I’m not in session.
There is a clear before and after Jen’s hypnotherapy. My ‘before’ involved a lot of anxiety, inability to control worries and panic attacks, a sense of hopelessness and overwhelm. The ‘after’ is filled with self love, ability to self soothe, access to peace and hope for a more stable future.”

“I started hypnotherapy as I have been suffering with TSW (Topical Steroid Withdrawal) for just over a year. I searched high and low for someone that could provide support for my mental health which had worsened due to TSW. I looked for someone who was not only familiar with TSW, but that had a personal experience with it, so after Jennifer’s profile was sent to me by my brother, I instantly booked a session with her and felt like I had struck gold (which I did)!
Being able to speak to someone that has a personal experience with TSW has helped me tremendously. Not only is Jennifer kind, comforting and lovely, she also has an incredible personality which put me at ease throughout every single session. My sessions with Jennifer have provided me with great tips and resources I can now use in my daily life to be able to see the positives in life, and take baby steps for those difficult physical tasks I previously found too daunting while tackling TSW. I have learnt so much and I would recommend Jennifer in a heartbeat to anyone!”

“Working with Jennifer has been life changing, she has helped me in more ways than I thought possible. Highly recommend for anyone struggling.”

“Therapy sessions with Jen feel like having a chat with an old friend who knows exactly the right things to say! She is such a friendly and welcoming person, I felt immediately at ease from the first consultation. After 8 sessions I feel like a different person, I am in such a better headspace now. It has been invaluable to have a therapist who personally understands skin conditions, I didn’t think anyone out there was offering anything like this and I feel very lucky to have found her at the time I did. I cannot thank Jen enough!”
- Laura, Leeds
“I met Jennifer when I was in a low and vulnerable place. Jennifer had such a warm, positive energy and was so empathetic. I felt immediately comfortable with her from the very first session. In the short time we have worked together, Jennifer has been very insightful, encouraging and has helped me build more positive habits.”
- Hellen, Vietnam
“I cannot recommend Jen highly enough as a hypnotherapist! I was drawn to working with her because she has also experienced TSW (Topical Steroid Withdrawal), and it was so reassuring to connect with someone who truly understands this often misunderstood condition. From our very first session, I felt an incredible sense of trust and understanding, knowing she had walked a similar path.
Before I began working with Jen, I was constantly stuck in survival mode, overwhelmed by the symptoms of fight or flight, particularly during my intense itch attacks. These episodes were unbearable, with my heart racing and waves of panic and anxiety only making the attacks last longer. On top of that, I struggled with horrible insomnia, finding it nearly impossible to fall or stay asleep. My creativity was stifled, and my focus at work was almost non-existent—I felt like my brain just wasn’t working.
One of the things that truly sets Jen apart is her incredible knowledge and the way she explains the science behind what we were working on. She has a unique gift for breaking down complex concepts into simple, easy-to-understand explanations. Her ability to convey the science in such a brilliant way played a massive role in helping me implement and sustain real, lasting changes.
Thanks to Jen, my itch attacks are now few and far between, and when they do happen, I no longer panic, which allows me to stop them much quicker. Even more incredible, I’m now enjoying 8-10 hours of blissful, unaided sleep almost every night! My creativity has returned, and my focus at work has improved dramatically—I finally feel like myself again.
Jen’s expertise, empathy, and unique understanding of TSW, coupled with her clear and insightful explanations, have made all the difference in my healing journey. I’m so grateful to have found her and couldn’t imagine going through this without her support. If you’re considering hypnotherapy, especially if you’ve struggled with TSW or any other chronic condition, I wholeheartedly recommend Jen. She’s truly a life-changer!”

“I was searching for hypnotherapists to help cope with ongoing skin issues. When I came across Jennifer’s page and saw that she had experience with similar issues, I knew she would be the perfect person to speak to! From my very first session she made me feel at ease and comfortable to chat about anything and everything, due to her empathetic nature and calm disposition. After only a few sessions I was feeling much better within myself and felt I had enough tips and strategies in my toolbox to carry on and practice what we discussed in our sessions. I continue to listen to her tracks which have become part of my evening routine to help unwind before sleep and reinforce the positive changes. Thank you Jennifer!”
- Rhonda, London
“I can highly recommend, Jennifer. It's really important for me to have a good connection when seeking professional help. Jennifer is warm, friendly and open. I immediately felt comfortable talking to her and I liked the way that she explained how the brain works and why hypnotherapy can be beneficial as a therapy for anxiety amongst other conditions. It certainly helps that Jennifer has been through her own journey with a skin condition and can relate to so many of the concerns and worries that surround a chronic condition. I would say to anyone thinking of making contact with Jennifer, take the plunge you won't regret it. I am amazed at my progress in a relatively short period of time.”
- Debbie, Kent
“I have been seeing Jennifer now for 6 sessions and in that time I have managed to completely reduce my anxiety and stress surrounding my eczema and skin condition. When I first started I was really struggling to carry on with my daily activities (let alone social ones) because of a huge flare. It hugely impacted my happiness and I was very lost. Through the hypno sessions (and just chatting) with Jennifer I have learnt that besides what is going on with my skin I am still able to do these things. The experience has helped me to establish new hobbies and interests and I feel so much more relaxed and less defined by my skin (which is actually helping my skin calm too - a huge win!). I hugely recommend Jennifer to anyone who resonates with my experience - it will truly be the best step you take. Thank you, Jennifer!”
- Grace, London
“I could not be more pleased that I made the decision to start having sessions with Jen.
I had been suffering with a skin condition (Topical Steroid Withdrawal) for just over a year and had reached a point where I felt like it was starting to take over my life and mental health.
I had no idea what to expect from the sessions; so I was a little apprehensive. However, Jen instantly put me at ease, and made me feel completely comfortable from the start. Within just a few sessions, I could really start to notice a difference in how I was feeling. I was starting to feel more like myself, my outlook became much more positive, my sleep improved, and my skin became less of a barrier to me enjoying the same things I used to.
I always looked forward to the sessions, as Jen helped me to reflect on all the positives of the previous week and set some achievable goals for the next week. The trance section of the sessions were always so relaxing and I would end each one feeling refreshed and ready to take on the rest of the day. Overall I am so grateful for Jen and the sessions, I can't recommend it enough!”

“Kismet is a word I’d describe finding Jen at a point in my life when I really needed not only a brilliant therapist but one who also got the ups, downs, and frustrations of dealing with a skin condition. I didn’t need someone to fix my skin condition, I needed someone to fix my brain and bolster my resilience. We all know how mentally debilitating it can be living with a skin condition but it’s hard to know where to go for support to deal with the mental health issues that come with them. I was so lucky that in what was one of the worst times of my life, desperately trying to figure a way out of the dark hole that I was in, I turned to Instagram to see if there was a community of people who also suffered with eczema and other various skin conditions. I came across Jen’s profile and sent her a message and within a couple of hours, I had an appointment booked for a consultation.
Jen is brilliant and explains how the brain works, and gives you some information of what a typical session will look like, and she encourages you to be as relaxed as possible (cup of tea, in your pyjamas). The sessions are great and Jen gives you the tools and real world goals that get you back living your best life, along with a lovely trance leaving you feelings very relaxed. I’m in a profoundly better place now than I was a few months ago, and contacting Jen was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.”
- Anthony, Northampton
“Would highly recommend working with Jennifer for anyone interested in hypnotherapy and solution-focused therapy. Jennifer helped me hugely when struggling with anxiety and low mood related to severe skin flare ups. She is also the warmest, kindest person and instantly makes you feel at ease.”
- Caitlin, London
“Jen is an amazing hypnotherapist, she's helpful, positive, kind, empathetic and comes up with great goal-based solutions to solve whatever problems you are trying to overcome. Her sessions are all about moving forward, not looking back. Having gone through the trauma of a skin condition herself she is very understanding of the struggles it can bring. I cannot recommend booking a free consultation with her enough, even if you at first think it may not be for you.”
- Elspeth, Australia
“Having hypnotherapy with Jennifer Austin was the best decision I ever made. She's wonderfully warm, welcoming and empathetic. Who would have guessed that after struggling for years with my issues, that in the space of 6 weeks I became a different person.
I have had conventional therapy before, and while it helped me understand why I am the way I am, it didn't help me change that person. I was in a downward spiral, unhappy, anxious, ruining my health and my relationship. Jen is the first person who helped me change those habits, forge new ways of thinking, and enabled me to take control of my life.
If someone told me I could change my life in less than 2 months I wouldn't have believed it. I am a different person, I'm so grateful to Jen and it's amazing to feel happy and proud of what I've achieved. I highly recommend Jennifer and urge anyone considering hypnotherapy to contact her, she's an absolute diamond in her field.”
- Julie, Norfolk
“I came to Jen, following a recommendation from a friend, at a time in my life when I was suffering from depression, awaiting an ADHD/Autism diagnosis, struggling with my self esteem and feeling lost and she has without a doubt helped me to turn things around! The sessions are a great mix of reflecting on what’s been going on in life and some relaxing hypnotherapy, I’ve found it such a positive form of therapy, something I’d not always experienced preciously. Jen always helps me look at the good things in my life as well as helping me through the bad with her positivity and calming voice. I would recommend Jen to absolutely anyone and feel very lucky to have had her as my therapist.”
- Beth, Durham
“Jen is one of the most lovely, down to earth and supportive people I have ever met. I started hypnotherapy after feeling low and wanting to try a new style of therapy. After a friendly and empathetic consultation, I decided to have weekly sessions. Jen always had a really supportive and positive attitude, which made me look forward to our sessions each week. She helped me to set manageable, small goals that would help me work towards where I wanted to be and she always celebrated my successes which helped me to feel proud of my achievements. The trance aspect was always helpful, calming, and allowed me to focus on the present moment and consolidate what we had discussed. Jen really has changed my perspective to think more positively, which has made the future look more promising. I cannot express how thankful I am to Jen.”
- Chloe, Norfolk
“Jen made me feel very comfortable and calm. I was always cautious of doing online therapies after only ever doing in-person but I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed them! Each session felt like I’d lightened the load of stress, like yoga for my mind. I’d leave the sessions feeling what I can only describe as totally zen! Hypnotherapy is great, for me felt like a hybrid of CBT! Jen has this voice that instantly calms you and makes you want to open up and she truly cares ! Cannot recommend her enough!!”
- Katie, London
“I really enjoyed my sessions with Jen working on some PTSD and specifically looking to help me stop having nightmares. I have never done hypnotherapy before so was a little nervous and hesitant going into it but Jennifer just puts you at ease and is really friendly and personable. My nightmares have dramatically improved and everything Jen went through with me (teaching about the brain, responses, keeping a positive outlook etc) has really helped my mental health! Jen set me the task of writing down some positives each day which initially I struggled to do, now I am able to point out positives so much easier and enjoying life and each moment in it. I'd recommend Jennifer to any of my friends and family!”
- Louise, Norfolk
“I am so happy I decided to reach out to Jen about some hypnotherapy sessions to help me with sleep and anxiety. Jen was never judgemental and always so lovely and calming in our sessions which I really looked forward to every week. She has made me look at life differently... look for the positive things, things that make me happy! My anxiety has halved and I get off to sleep easily every evening now with the help of trance. Thank you so so much Jen you are wonderful!”
- Emma, Norfolk
“I started having sessions with Jen initially to find ways of coping with the chronic illness I was living with (topical steroid withdrawal). I am generally an introverted, somewhat awkward person so I was nervous about sessions online and I had never had hypnotherapy before, but Jen put me at ease as our sessions went on, and I quickly felt relaxed and would look forward to the sessions.
Having sessions with Jen often feels like talking to your own personal cheerleader, and I always look forward to telling her “What’s been good” in my life as she is so empathetic and really celebrates your wins with you. Her sessions helped me find positives in my every day during a time that was, without doubt, the most difficult period of my life, and she helped me find and achieve realistic goals to improve my overall well-being.
If you are looking for someone who can help you make genuine positive change in your life and help you overcome things that feel completely out of your control, Jen is absolutely the person to call.”
- Beth, Dorset
“I first came to Jennifer for help with self-worth, trauma, depression and letting go of guilt. I was quite sceptical about hypnotherapy at first, however today I would not hesitate to recommend anyone to Jennifer. She has a wealth of knowledge and expertise, and will help you create an invaluable “toolkit” to enable you to actually change your life – not an exaggeration!!
I am quite socially anxious, and the thought of even online sessions seemed quite daunting, however Jennifer made me feel totally at ease and relaxed for each and every session.
I read a quote the other day that I felt sums up my results. “Happiness is not the absence of problems, it’s the ability to deal with them” (Steve Maraboli). I now sleep better at night, I am at peace with myself, I find joy in each and every day, and amazingly I am no longer taking IBS medication.”
- H.P. Warwickshire
“I can honestly say that my sessions with Jennifer have been life-changing.
Not only is she empathetic, kind and a great listener, she also gives advice and tools that I use on a daily basis to improve my life and how I react to triggers that have plagued me as far as I can remember.
I had never done hypnotherapy before but am a convert.”
- Natasha, Norfolk
“When I first started with Jen, I was finding it very difficult to name/remember any good things that had happened during the week. I've been with her for a couple of months now and find myself actively seeking them out, and even celebrating little wins that I previously would have thought not good enough to mention. Now I get excited for that part of the session because I can't wait to tell her all the good things that happened that week, and any plans I'm working towards in my business, or future things I have coming up to look forward to.
She has such a wonderful way of helping you to be proud of yourself, and it feels like she genuinely cares and enjoys hearing about them.
She's helped me form good habits as well (to help with my executive dysfunction that makes me struggle with things like keeping up with a consistent hygiene routine for example). I've since incorporated her suggestions in to my weekly routine such as coffee showers (having my morning cup of coffee whilst in the shower and singing along to my favourite music to help me look forward to them, in fact I kind of wanna have one now!).
In summary, Jen has a fantastic, infectious energy that has given me a renewed outlook on my life, and I've seen such positive changes since we've started. I thoroughly recommend her for anyone looking to draw a line in the sand to their old way of thinking and look ahead to creating a new mindset for yourself and for your life.”

“There are so many wonderful things about Jen and our sessions together. She’s kind, empathetic, genuine and caring, and gives you so much space to feel witnessed, heard and seen, in the knowledge that whatever you bring to your session is safe and held. I have tried lot of different therapy styles over the past decade, and I have to say hypnotherapy has been one of my favourites for helping me manage my stress levels, untangling my mind, bring back the joy and helping to calm my ADHD brain and often overwhelmed, wired nervous system. Jen has a wonderful way of holding space for you, and has genuinely been a lifeline for me in the past few weeks and months working together.
When things have just felt too much, I know I have my session to look forward to, to help me regulate and instil some calm into my routine. Jen gently helps me refocus my priorities, get my mind back on track and helps reframe my negative thinking to shift my thought patterns back to lighter, more positive ones which I have found to be so immensely helpful. She is genuinely amazing at what she does, and is so knowledgeable, passionate and proactive as a therapist and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone.”

“When I first heard about the opportunity to have hypnotherapy, my first thought was that I’d be clucking around the living room like a chicken, waiting for someone to click their fingers and tell me I was “back in the room”. It’s not something I was familiar with, and I was certainly quite skeptical. I’ve never had counselling or any kind of therapy before as the thought of “talking things through” seemed too daunting and something I’ve never felt comfortable with. However, Hypnotherapy is very much solution focused, and emphasis is on the future and moving forward. So, with an open mind, I decided to give it a go. From the first session Jennifer made me feel really at ease and was so down to earth and friendly. I knew straight away that I didn’t have to worry about feeling “weird” or “judged” (something my social anxiety unfortunately lead me to feel daily).
After our first meeting I remember saying to my husband that it was “nice, but I don’t really see how it’s going to make a difference”. However, after about 4 weeks, I started to notice small positive changes. Fast forward 3 months, and I would go as far as to say that I am a completely different person. Jennifer has taught me so much, realizing my self-worth and finally being able to let go of past trauma, which had such a hold over every aspect of my life.
My sleep quality has improved as has my IBS. I have achieved things that I honestly would never have thought possible, something which I cannot thank Jennifer enough for.
I feel strongly that you will get out what you put into the sessions and in between, so commitment and effort is needed. I’ve pushed myself in ways I’ve never done before, but the rewards have been enormous.
Of course, I’m still a work in progress (I think we all are really), but I now have a skill set and range of coping mechanisms to face situations head on which I know I will carry throughout life. If anyone is unsure about whether to give hypnotherapy with Jennifer a go, I would 100% recommend it. Like it has done with me, it might just change your life.”
- Helen, Birmingham
“I’ve been working with Jennifer for help with insomnia and anxiety for a while now and I can honestly say I’ve learned so much while working with her.
My life has definitely improved for the better through the skills and coping mechanisms I have learned from her. She’s taught me a brand new ways of thinking about my anxieties and has helped me think more positively about life in general, as well as being professional, friendly and completely non-judgemental.
I’ve had hypnotherapy before but I feel like I’ve seen far more improvement while working with Jennifer. I would definitely work with Jennifer again, and can wholeheartedly recommend her for hypnotherapy.”
- Megan, Aberdeen
“I didn’t know anything about Hypnotherapy until I spoke with Jen. In the past, I had tried CBT and had found it to be successful but at times gruelling, it wasn’t something I particularly enjoyed! However, by contrast I found myself really looking forward to each of my Hypnotherapy sessions. Together we worked on issues of anxiety, low mood and fatigue. I enjoyed the small, but achievable steps and the overall process.
Jen explained about the brain and its functions in the first session, this helped improve my understanding and knowledge of what was happening in my mind and body and therefore it seemed easier to work on issues.
I liked looking forward as a focus and I felt that by concentrating on the small positives within my week, it definitely became easier for me. I experienced an improvement in my mood and have been grateful for these sessions. I also appreciated the incorporated trance and found that helped me to relax.
I found Jen to be friendly, kind and professional. I like the structure and organisation she brings to each appointment, and I would highly recommend booking in with her.
Thank you for my sessions, they have really helped me when I was having an especially difficult few months.”
