We are all ears...

Being a good, active listener is the bedrock of my solution focused hypnotherapy practice with clients, and this of course, included feedback throughout and after programmes, workshops or talks.

However the giving of feedback and receiving it is quite a sensitive process, and one that many of my clients have asked for pointers on.

​So having listened and learnt from my clients, here are some thoughts on how to write feedback in the form of a client review or testimonial...

All feedback aids me and other's to grow, whether you are 5 star, happy at the end of a full and complete solution you gained or you wish to guide me to become a better practitioner - feedback given with clear intention really makes such a massive difference.

It is especially helpful to help other's in the process of looking for the right person to aid them in their recovery;
​

1. Take some time to reflect on what you wanted to change before the hypnotherapy sessions, your experience/s along the way and what has changed as a result of your choices?
2. Getting these thoughts out on paper or your laptop or mobile device first can help solidify your thoughts
3. Be real and write like you speak so that it is an authentic review - other's really connect with a human story of change and growth.
4. Address specifics like did you want to reduce anxiety around public speaking, get rid of your needle phobia or improve your sleep routine to boost your mood?
5. Be honest about how you found me, your therapist, as this helps other discern if I am for them. The more specific here also helps the reader get a 'picture' in their mind about me and how I work.
6. Find the right place for you to share and also let me know where and when I can use this i.e. privacy is key here as is protecting yourself and your story.
7. Ask me to help you to craft a review with you i.e. in your last session we can go through the steps, and with your permission I can share these in marketing materials (subject to your consent).

Where can you post a review/testimonial for me?

• Google My Business https://bit.ly/YRGDreviewUs 
• Facebook page https://bit.ly/YRGDFBreviewUs 

Overall taking your time to write a testimonial you can gain more insights into the benefits you have gained from your investment, and be an incredible sign poster for others considering what help solution focused hypnotherapy could be to them.
