Success Stories
Eileen Hannington
"New Girl on the Block"... that's how I see myself now that I have been given the confidence to quit smoking after more years than I care to remember, it's been the case of 'been there, tried that' and nothing ever sustained me long enough to give me the confidence to quit for more than three weeks.
Maureen had helped my son get through a tough time previously, so not wanting to be considered "anti social" and an "outcast" I asked Maureen for help and boy am I glad I did. I already knew what great work she did but of course there is always a bit of doubt like 'will it work for me?' Well it did and now my problem is where my next holiday is going to be as the savings jar is flowing over. Thank you Maureen.
Kay
(Writer). After two early miscarriages were followed by 20 months
of unexplained infertility, I felt very low. Both times previously, I'd become pregnant quite quickly, so I couldn't understand why it was taking so long now. While I realised that I was very stressed out, and that this probably wasn't helping matters, I found it impossible to relax. When a friend mentioned Maureen, I decided to give hypnotherapy a try. And I conceived the day after my first visit.
I now have a gorgeous little girl and can't thank Maureen enough
for her help.
Janet Benn
After two long and painful labours, one of which was at home, I found myself pregnant again very soon after the last one. As the pregnancy progressed so did my fear of actually giving birth and the subsequent post-natal depression that followed my last child. I was very frightened of feeling out of control in labour and out of control emotionally with three children under five.
I voiced my fears to a friend and she suggested I visit Maureen. I was also finding the pregnancy quite hard with nausea and exhaustion looking after two small children. After my first visit to Maureen I felt the most relaxed and focused I had done for a long time. She helped me separate the wheat from the chaff and instilled some coping mechanisms for when I was stressed during the rest of the pregnancy and afterwards.
Her visualization I learned for labour was also a total lifesaver and I had the dream labour I had always hoped for. Very quick, not that painful, totally in control and no screaming! Danny came into the world peacefully and has blossomed ever since. I bonded with him the second I saw him, rather than months later as with the first two children and every day has been wonderful.
I can honestly say visiting Maureen changed the way I coped with giving birth and parenting. I would recommend a visit to her for anyone with similar fears. The day I gave birth for the third time was the happiest day of my life!

I started seeing Maureen in September 2005 and up to now still do, but less frequently. Maureen is a fantastic therapist who I found worked in a straight forward, honest and highly intuitive way to communicate and understand what is at the core of the issue. Her abilities to work with whatever comes her way in a self-empowering way for the client is extraordinary.
All done in a conscientious and sensitive way with a great sense of humour which helps the process along rapidly. I initially visited her for assertiveness work, which literally took 1-2 sessions and after that we addressed various emotional issues which, leading to insights and empowerment each session. I gladly recommend her to anyone I know.
Laurence Cohen
(Black cab driver - Green badge). I came to see Maureen as a friend had recommended her to me. I was under a great deal of pressure as I was going through the knowledge and needed to help to remember a vast amount of material to attain my license as a black cab driver. She helped me not only to memorise all my routes but also helped me to calm down and give a good performance at each.
I know that with her help I got there far quicker and I did not experience the anxiety that I saw the other guys going through.
Her strategies made the difference and I would encourage anyone who needs more confidence and a better memory recall to go and see her - she made all the difference to me.
Pippa
Sam and I had been trying to conceive for almost two years when I went to see Maureen. I'd had numerous tests and after it was established that I wasn't ovulating (but the medics couldn't fathom why), I tried all the initial avenues of treatment prior to IVF. None of them worked. My husband and I gradually became resigned to the fact that if medical intervention wasn't working we'd have to think about adoption. At that point, my father (who is an obstetrician) suggested I seek a Hypnotherapist. I spoke to several on the phone and immediately I knew that Maureen was the one I wanted to see. She is such a down-to-earth, warm lady and straightaway I felt at ease with her and able to trust her.
On the night of my third and final session with Maureen, George was conceived - completely and utterly naturally. It was like a miracle and what followed was a very happy and healthy pregnancy. What Maureen did for me was to help me to relax. All my worries feel away and I finally stopped obsessing about having a baby.
I stopped punishing myself for why my body was failing me and began to believe that it would function - in its own time. I can't recommend Maureen highly enough - lots of my friends have subsequently been to see her and they rave about her too. I firmly believe that it is because of her that we have such a beautiful, healthy son and I feel very lucky to have met her.
Joyce Barnes
With an impending operation on the horizon and also a horrendous cough that made me sound like 'Battersea Dogs Home' I felt it was time to look at smoking with an entirely different attitude. Was this going to be an easy thing to do? Quite honestly 'NO' was the answer until a close friend told me about how Maureen Kiely had helped her son control his nerves for a life-changing career that he was embarking upon.
I took courage in both hands and made the appointment. Although sceptical of hypnotherapy, and on meeting and talking with Maureen I was quite relaxed and I felt that after all these years I was not a "lost cause" - just somebody who needed help. This help I received from Maureen and I am glad to say I've not smoked since, and that is some two months ago now. (August 2007).
