Ann Bowditch

Having run her private practice for over 11 years, Ann has found her passion in the various therapies she uses to work with people to overcome issues which have been holding them back and facilitate a positive change in their lives. Sessions can be held online from the comfort of your own home or in Ann’s lovely and private studio in Guernsey.  You will feel at ease in Ann’s company.

You never know what is possible until you make a change.

Working with the subconscious makes total sense because our beliefs come from our subconscious mind. All our memories, conversations, learned behaviour and traumas are stored there. We therefore need to make changes to the subconscious mind to bring about positive changes to our lives. “I have seen such dramatic changes in so many of my clients sometimes after only one or two sessions. Often this is after years of negative emotions causing unwanted habits and behaviours as well as physical and emotional pain.”

“Those who commit to the treatment will reap the greatest rewards.  I love to witness the changes in my clients to have grown in their understanding of themselves and others and to feel more empowered.”

As a competitor in three Commonwealth Games, three times National Hill Climb Champion and a multiple Island Games Champion, Ann is well known for her cycling achievements. She applies the same level dedication and energy that she has put into her sporting success into her work.  “I look upon myself purely as a facilitator of change. You have the ability within yourself to make the changes you need to and, with some guidance from me, you can make the improvements you wish to.

Ann is qualified in many therapies and has developed her own unique way of working creating great success.

Having brought Colour Mirrors into her work, Ann’s studio offers a calming and welcoming setting for all. Ann explains “we are all subconsciously in tune with colour and therefore can use colour to help us gain greater understanding of our life as well as heal trauma and help to break away from negative patterns. In particular the colours are a real hit with children.”

Travel Anxiety

Thank you Ann for all the time, help, support, encouragement, advice and expertise you have given to our teenage daughter with regard to her severe anxiety whilst travelling through airports. We came to you in desperation after two years of being unable to fly with her due to this. Six months later, after a variety of sessions (mainly hypnotherapy) with you, we enjoyed a wonderful family trip to Portugal, travelling through four airports!  Not only has her anxiety at airports gone but her self-confidence has increased.  She has also learnt to manage anxiety in other situations. We would not hesitate to recommend you to other people in similar situations.

Alcohol Addiction

I went to Ann for an addictive behavioural problem which I was finding so hard to stop. I reached a point of desperation and didn’t think it would be possible to change my behaviour without help. It was getting me down so much and one memorable morning I knew I had to do something.  I had heard about Ann and, having nothing to lose, called her to see if she thought she could help me. Fortunately, I didn’t have to wait too long and saw her for an initial assessment. After that first session of talking and having my first experience of hypnotherapy I didn’t look back. I saw Ann regularly and looked forward so much to my sessions with her. Hypnosis was amazing - it made me feel so relaxed while giving me the inner strength and ability to deal with my problem. We chatted a lot, laughed a lot and each time I underwent hypnosis. Ann was so calm and I trusted her totally. I never felt unsure, I could hear everything she said during the hypnosis and could remember everything at the end.  I didn’t want the hypnosis to end! A year on I am dealing so well with my problem and know I am in control. If I need to see Ann again I know I can go back to her. Thank you so much Ann. I am in such a better placed after having had my sessions with you. This has been such a positive experience for me

Sport - Confidence

I contacted Ann after a friend had recommended her for help with mental preparation for my upcoming swim challenges. Ann is brilliant! Being a high achieving sportswoman herself, in a similarly solo sport, she understands the demands and pressures all too well and has an immense tool-kit of strategies that she can train you to re-call when the going gets tough. Ann is extremely professional and very calming; I felt completely relaxed after each session. We worked a lot on visualisation, which was invaluable preparation, meaning that by the time I entered the water I had already gone through all the possible obstacles to success and visualised the triumph, which helped me to feel calm, relaxed and completely in control of the outcome. Ann goes above and beyond.  She took an active interest in my well-being and goals, throughout my training, beyond the session time. I would highly recommend Ann!

Confidence - Motivation

Ann creates a lovely safe space for you to express and work through your inner most thoughts and problems. She takes the time to listen, understands what you need and it feels like there is no ’set plan’. Instead Ann is flexible and versatile depending what you need. I felt a great shift in my self-confidence and self-belief within a few sessions and found myself much more motivated and productive. I also feel I have more skills to work through problems and question what might be going on. I can catch myself before going down a negative thought spiral and stand back to question is what I am thinking/believing true or not.

Fear of Dogs

My daughter had a severe fear of dogs which was starting to impact her day to day life (not being able to go to friends houses that had dogs, go to the park etc). After 1 session with Ann this fear has pretty much disappeared! She no longer so much as flinches when she sees a dog, she has even asked some of the owners if she can stroke their dogs which has never happened before! I can’t thank Ann enough.

Confidence and Negative Thinking

Ann’s caring approach put me at ease immediately and it was easy to open up to her. The hypnotherapy sessions were lovely.  You are aware of your surroundings but feel very relaxed. Ann helped me to focus my thoughts and I learned some simple techniques that I could use myself on a daily basis. I came away with a fresh mindset and a feeling that I could tackle anything

Weight Loss and Confidence

With your help I have turned a corner and found positivity and all of the other things I was missing. As I said before, it’s early days so I’m not going to make any long term plans yet but fingers crossed in the coming weeks or months I will be perfectly able and happy to do so. I literally haven’t felt this calm, positive, happy and sociable in years, and it’s all down to you.

Anxiety

A family member suggested I contacted Ann because I started suffering with anxiety which was “totally out of the blue’.  I soon learnt it can get in the way of dealing with tasks in everyday life. I met with Ann.  The first session, I broke down.  It was also relief that I had someone I could talk to. Realising I was still grieving and Covid had brought its problems in work and life in general. My second session, I felt a little bit nervous but I really didn’t need to be. Ann continued with Hypnotherapy where I was totally in control.  Ann helped me to break down these negative emotions and to cope also using EFT. The third session was about who I was as a person.  It reminded me that I am still this funny, lovable person.  This gave me back my confidence. I am so glad I was able to recognise that I needed help and support when I did, and I found this in Ann. I recently had a fantastic holiday to France, at one stage my husband asked me if I was missing home and I wasn’t (RESULT). THANK YOU Ann. I know I couldn’t have done it without your input and support.
