“Debs is calm, positive, and warm. Our 6 sessions made a massive difference to my life (no exaggeration!). The tools and confidence that the sessions have gifted me have meant that I have been able to change the way that I work, think and live daily. I would absolutely recommend Story Healing with Debra to anyone who wants to overcome a block or change a script that no longer serves them.”
Business and operations coach, Emma, shares her experience of online hypnotherapy sessions with Debs at Story Healing. Her stressful job came to a close, causing her low self-esteem and anxiety. The therapy sessions improved her confidence and opened the door for her to found her company, The Coaching Point. https://www.thecpoint.co.uk/

Emma, in her mid forties, was recommended to book in with me because she had been struggling with increasing anxiety at work. She was unexpectedly let go from the job which left her feeling tearful and with low self-esteem, causing her anxiety about the future. Having moved to a new home location, the pressure had been on her to rebuild her income and social life. She says, “I had poor self-esteem and a huge amount of uncertainty as to what my next steps were, or even what I wanted to happen next. It felt as though I was swirling in doubt and confusion. I was lucky enough to get a session that same day with Debs and when she asked me what my ideal outcome would be, the answer that came out surprised me: I wanted to feel confident and ready to move forward working with clients in my own business. It was like hearing someone else say it, because my words were so sure.”
Although she acknowledged that she had plenty of commercial operations experience to help other businesses, Emma realised it was her confidence which had stopped her in the past. So that was where we started our sessions.
To support her sleep, Emma began listening to the hypnotherapy relaxation track most nights, especially when waking in the early hours. “The relaxation track kept me calm, especially in those moments when I woke up in the middle of the night, anxious about the future. I just hit play and let her words lull me back into a relaxed state to fall asleep again.” The sound track includes positive messages about confidence and relying on one’s own resources, which lays a foundation for recovery and peaceful acceptance of self.
In sessions, we talked about what had gone well each week, reflecting on all the positive actions Emma had taken and what plans she had in the weeks ahead. Soon, Emma had pinpointed her desire to complete her coaching case studies and begin to help businesses transform their operations and financial management. Her background in business, event management and operational support led her to follow up enquiries from local business owners who needed support to bolster their capacity. As Emma described, “From the sessions, I gained tools to use when the anxious thoughts threaten to invade, and I began being much kinder to myself and trusting myself more.”
Within six sessions, Emma had restored her confidence by taking positive actions to design a product approach and a website ready to launch her services. She founded The Coaching Point (The C-Point) and was hired by three businesses, working in their frontline operations. As she said, “A mere seven weeks from the first session, I had direction, three clients on board and conversations booked in with two more. Debs had, in fact, waved a magic wand and granted me my wish! I am much more confident talking to potential clients and it has made an incredible difference to my life. She has helped me see that my future is a lot brighter.”
Emma created packages for her business that explain what she offers into categories - of ongoing online business management; growth and funding readiness; operations overhaul and leadership and team development coaching. Having focused on her own challenges and resetting her approach, Emma’s first resource for clients was an ‘Honest Year Review’ to help people assess where they were and what they wanted to move forwards. She has since given a public talk to a local business community group, appeared on a panel for a women’s business network and launched a podcast with her co-host, Helen, featuring business owners and their challenges.
