Alleviate Depression
The panic attacks and terrible depression I'd suffered since my Mum's death have been gone since I saw Dee in 1992. I went back to see her in 1996 and can still hardly believe I haven't wanted to smoke since!

Build Confidence
PreviousDear Dee, fantastic news! Holly just smashed the technical score at a big competition last week in Sheffield and now has the entry qualifications for the British Figure skating championships!! Last year only 38 girls under 13 qualified from throughout the Uk, so it’s a big deal. She is one of two girls to qualify from Aberdeen in the last 8 years. She is so happy! Also, 0.25 score off qualifying for the GB development squad – she’s aiming for this now. Thank u so much for giving her confidence & the belief in herself.

Dee helped me greatly to sort out a crisis of confidence I was experiencing after some particularly tough times at work. After just one session I felt calmer, more relaxed, and less stressed.

Compulsions
I went to see Dee for 3 sessions in total. At the beginning, I'm sure like most people, I was skeptical. I had never been to hypnotherapy before nor did I really know much about it but at this point, I had nothing to lose. I had never eaten vegetables even as a baby I spat them out and now being 24 I really had enough of it being such a huge burden on my life. First with my family and now with my husband. I had countless motivations to do it but most of all for myself. This is one of the first things we spoke about during the first session. Dee really did make me feel comfortable and at ease from the start We didn't go right into hypnotherapy as I would have thought it to be but we chatted about general things and she got to find out a bit more about me personally. I knew going into it there wasn't going to be an instant magical cure where I would be eating buckets of vegetables that same day but even the initial stage of just talking to Dee and hearing her support and positivity made the world of difference. (The usual reaction from other people would be 'omg you don't eat vegetables?!?!' In disgust) The hypnotherapy itself is hard to explain and is something you have to go on your own personal journey with. By the end of the 4 other sessions I had such a positive outlook on eating vegetables and now I am regularly trying all different vegetables. Slowly but surely! Although I am not eating full platefuls of veg for me this is a HUGE step! I use to pick out onions from Bolognese sauces and gag if I ate a bit of greenery! I do believe hypnotherapy is what made the switch in my mind and take down the barrier I had up before. I will be forever grateful for Dee and her support throughout my journey. And look forward to one day sending Dee a photo of me demolishing a big plate of salad!

Control Weight
I had five sessions with Dee about 2 years ago. My only regret is that I did not see her 10 years ago! I had a massive sugar addiction and would eat even if I was not hungry. Despite having a relatively healthy diet, my 'treats' were causing me to be overweight and feel terribly guilty about my sugar binges. Since my hypnosis, I no longer eat unhealthy sugary foods and I don't eat unless I am hungry. I also prefer eating the healthy option, however, I do occasionally have 'naughty' moments where I'll eat chips or crisps but I'm only human! Over the past two years, I have lost 2.5 stone, I love exercising and no longer feel guilty about what I eat. I would definitely recommend Dee, she has helped me improve my health and feel so much better about myself.

Emotional Upsets
A friend introduced me to Dee when my life was at its very bleakest and I felt I could not go on. For several years I had been living in a black hole with no escape route. I was empty and hollow inside and could feel no emotions whatsoever. This was due to a string of tragic family deaths and that of a good friend plus the agony of two divorces. After each death the hole I was living in became deeper and darker. Dee helped me deal with my grief and feelings of self hatred and in turn I have discovered my self esteem and developed much needed self confidence. I now have a good life worth living which the sun often shines on! Without Dee's help I would not be where I am today, she completely turned my life around full circle. Two of my children have also since consulted Dee with similar symptoms – bereavement and the after effects of divorce. Dee also magically turned both their lives around and got them back on track. I am still working on getting my other son to see her too. I also consulted Dee on my binge drinking problem which was also a symptom of my deep rooted despair and self loathing and which then developed into a bad habit - I am now completely teetotal. The ultimate compliment I have received since Dee worked her magic on me was when my lifelong best friend said to me "Jenny you are now back to your old self again, the Jenny I knew and loved as we were growing up and teenagers together before all the shit started happening to you". And believe me it is GREAT to be back! Thank you Dee for always being there and for giving me and my children a life worth living.

Miscellaneous
PreviousDee helped me to change almost unrecognisably for the better in just a handful of hours. She is a very powerful, gifted healer who I'd recommend to anyone.

I can confirm that I have known Dee for 15 years in my position as a General Practitioner working in the North-East of Scotland. I have referred my own patients to her for Hypnotherapy and have had very positive feedback. I have been made aware by my patients that they have been treated in a wholly professional and courteous manner by Dee.
Dr. Graham S. GordonRhynie
Dear Dee, I may only be 19, but I already know it is rare to have someone truly listen to you. You listen, for this and so much more I want to say thank you. I find it almost strange that I have only met you three times and yet you seem to understand me and take me more seriously than anyone ever has. You seem to see something in me that even the people closest to me don't notice. I owe you so much, you have no idea how much you've helped me. You have such a kind heart and some kind of magical spirit about you. You have taught me how to love myself for who I am and not for who other people think I should be. There have been a few people try and help me and failed terribly but in such a short space of time, your magical words have transformed me. I hope this isn't the last time I see you, but even if it is, I want you to know that you are and always will be my magical mermaid! With all my heart.

As a satisfied client of Dee Buchanan's I would recommend her hypnotherapy services to others without hesitation. She demonstrates a high degree of professionalism and client empathy in her work and the service she provides is an essential component of the range of mainstream and complementary health-based services currently being offered to the public. I am also aware of others who have benefited enormously from the Hypnotherapy services provided by Dee Buchanan.

Nail Biting
I consulted Dee when I was going through the break up of my marriage. She restored my self-confidence, and as a bonus, she helped me to stop biting my nails so I now have beautiful hands I'm proud of.

Phobias
I’m still able to be in a room with a spider without freaking out, although I don’t actually handle them. And I still don’t eat crisps (!) or feel I’m missing out when folk take cakes into the office and I don’t have any! Thank you.

Psychological Infertility
My husband and I had been trying for years to conceive. After years of trying, an ectopic pregnancy and lots of stress we, or I should say i had given up. I decided to book an appointment with Dee. I’d never been to anything like it before, but I didn’t know what else to try. Dee made us feel very comfortable and relaxed. After only a few sessions Dee had managed to release a lot of stress and anxiety from myself and made me feel more relaxed about the whole situation. She helped me see it as a wonderful thing other than the chore it had turned into. And now, we have a beautiful little girl who will be 4 this year! I would recommend a session with Dee to anyone who has concerns over fertility problems. It’s sometimes the underlying things that you don’t think are bothering you, that may just be hindering your journey.

Sleep Deprivation
PreviousI suffered from poor sleep quality for as back as I can remember, difficulty falling asleep then waking frequently during the night, sometimes hourly. Trying to deal with this issue I started tracking my sleep using an iPhone sleep tracking application. The app tracked and recorded my sleep duration along with the quality of sleep. On average my app recorded around 60% quality, 70% at best and 20% at the lowest. I had a single session with Dee, that evening I fell asleep with complete ease and did not wake the next morning with the sound of my alarm. I felt refreshed and wide awake; I was amazed when I checked my sleep app, not only had I slept the entire night my sleep quality was 100%. Since then I listen to the MP3 each night and my sleep quality has remained really high 97-100% each night since. A single session with Dee completely transformed my sleeping patterns and I now sleep soundly each night.
Louise DorneyCults, Aberdeen
Dee is a very magical woman as she has totally changed my life. Dee has completely transformed my sleeping at night, I could not get to sleep easily but now I sleep much better and even find my husband snoring soothing. I am a much calmer and less anxious person, I am more relaxed. Dee has also helped me with my long term fear of flying, worked wonders with my life and helped me with my long term grief problem. I now feel that I'm back to my normal self.

Stop Smoking
I am still happily a non-smoker since I left your house and have an amazing mindset about smoking! Though I obviously wanted to stop, I am utterly convinced your therapy assisted hugely, even though I wasn't convinced prior to attending. I'll happily speak to any local folk if they want.

Trauma Removal
I wish to express my thanks to Dee who has helped me greatly in the past in overcoming a personal family trauma which I experience some years ago. Dee's help and patience was truly remarkable and I could not have overcome my emotions without her. I would have no hesitation in recommending her - she is simply a great healer!
