Southport Therapy

I am very grateful to Viv for achieving what to me seems like a minor miracle and which is enabling me to get on with my life. For decades I believed that sensitivity to skin products on my face and neck was a straightforward (and gradually worsening) allergic reaction. But with Viv’s help I came to see that an underlying anxiety disorder was playing a big part in my skin problems. I had a course of hypnotherapy with Viv and the major turning point came after a de-sensitisation session. In the days following this I am able to use cream on my face that I haven’t been able to tolerate for months. I have found Viv to be very caring, thorough and knowledgeable in her work and I am convinced that she wants the best for me.

Vivienne has really helped me understand my challenges around anxieties and insecurities and more importantly where they originated from in my life. Hypnotherapy and Self Hypnosis have resulted in a calmer, more confident well being. Techniques that are easy to understand and follow, which have given me such a positive outlook. I can greatly recommend her, very easy to talk to and has many techniques to suit all.

I would like to express my gratitude for the guidance I received from Vivienne Dent. At a time when I was unable to think rationally or make sense of some of life’s difficult challenges my sessions with Viv (hypnotherapy / relaxation) helped me immensely and enabled me to move forward. I felt welcome and at ease at every stage. So I’d like to say ‘Many Thanks’ for your invaluable support.

Hi all I visited Viv on the 4th of January this year for help to stop smoking after smoking for the last 30 years. I have to say since then I have not wanted craved or touched a cigarette and will never again. Thank you Viv you are one in a million a friendly lovely caring lady. If you are thinking of stopping then I strongly recommend a visit to this wonderful lady.

I had hypnotherapy to stop smoking over 8 years ago. I have never wanted, craved or smoked since. It really does work. A brilliant therapist and wonderful lady.

Having suffered from deep depression on and off for many years I was fortunate to be allocated Vivienne as my therapist. As a consequence of some deep seated issues I was certainly a challenge for any therapist. With the Tenacity and experience of Vivienne we soon worked our way to the root cause of my destructive coping behaviours. After the application of an appropriate therapy Vivienne turned me from a broken man with far too many powerful prescription drugs for my own good back to the happy self-confident man that I had hidden for far too long .

The transformation is miraculous and all down to the expertise, compassion, dedication and consideration that Vivienne demonstrated when dealing with me and my mental wellbeing. Vivienne, I thank you for helping to have the courage to plan for the future.

Viv was recommended to me by a friend, from my first session I knew I had found someone who could really help me. Viv is easy to talk to and I immediately felt relaxed in her company. The therapy was tailored around me and what I needed. Talking therapy helped me to find and understand the issues I was having and I felt at ease to express my true feeling, knowing I would not be judged.

Hypnotherapy was explained to me in terms I understood, giving me confidence in the process. It really helped with my anxieties and gave me real, tangible techniques to use in situations where anxiety and panic would have taken over.

Viv introduced me to EMDR, a therapy I had never heard of. This really changed things for me. This technique helped me to let go of emotions attached to things in my past and I honestly feel that it has allowed me to move on and progress in life.

Viv is a true professional. If you are looking for a therapist who genuinely cares about their clients and offers tailored to need sessions, then Viv is definitely the person you need. Highly recommended.

I could not recommend Vivienne highly enough. I liked her calm, approachable manner and felt safe in her hands. I went to see her for help with a needle phobia and after only a few sessions was able attend my hospital appointment and give 16 samples of blood without any fear, anxiety or physical reaction occurring. I was amazed.

Vivienne used professionalism and expertise to assess what treatment would benefit me and although at the time I had no idea how the treatment was going to work, I trusted that she had the knowledge to help me. She used a treatment called EMDR which worked by reprogramming my unconscious thoughts and I also experienced some relaxation under hypnosis which felt wonderful. I was given relaxation and self hypnosis CD’s to take away with me to use in the future. Overall it was a very interesting experience with amazing results. Thank you Vivienne.
