I had met Gillian years ago when I had a Reiki session with her. It was a great experience and one that brought me a lot in terms of mental and physical health. Over the summer this year, I was preparing towards taking my driving test and started to consider hypnotherapy as a means to help with some blockages that I believed might hinder my chances of passing. I had a phone consultation with Gillian and we agreed on two sessions. Gillian was very supportive and listened attentively to my needs and what I was expecting from hypnotherapy. Gillian is a very intuitive practitioner and she made me feel I could totally trust her. I really felt in safe hands and I do believe our sessions made a huge difference, not only to my ability to show up confidently behind the wheel - I passed my test! - but also to the way I showed up in other areas of my life. I highly recommend Gillian and I hope to work again with her in the future.

I went wanting to quiet the negative voice that had become unbearable in perimenopause, but left having achieved so much more. Gillian helped me speak to parts of myself that needed to know they are safe, loved, and strong, and to let go of what was no longer serving me. Gillian is a truly wonderful woman.

I sought help from Gillian after a spell of poor health, where I needed a bit of a reset in order to move forward. Working with her has been truly life changing. The sessions themselves were wonderful - relaxing, enveloping and very powerful, and Gillian herself was warm, insightful and incredibly intuitive. The periods between sessions allowed for integration of new ideas and ways of being, and now that my four sessions have come to an end, I can honestly say that they have provided deep, tangible change. I cannot recommend Gillian highly enough. Thank you for all you've done for me!

Gillian is amazing at what she does. I had hypnotherapy to stop smoking and it was a success. Gilluan is lovely to work with and thoroughly explains everything that will take place. Cannot praise enough.

Fortunate enough to have experienced Gillian’s fantastic work several years ago and the time was right to visit again. Gillian is a wonderful, talented, empathetic, knowledgeable and kind person, I could easily continue with more positive adjectives …. as anyone who has been her client will attest. My pre and post self having being ‘Gillianed’ are worlds apart - I am so much happier, I am kinder to myself and the future looks bright. Cannot thank you enough Gillian, take care and wishing you nothing but the best - just like you 🙏🌟🙏 xxx

I had reached a point in my life where changes had to be made. After speaking with Gillian we both felt some sessions together was the best way forward. I am so glad I have done this and feel I can take on life again and move forward thank you so much for all your help Gillian.

I reached out to Gillian when I needed to reset after a few challenging years where bad habits were becoming too regular in my life. I didn’t realise how much I needed to clear out my clutter and how quickly I felt more energised and empowered. To this day I don’t know how it works but it works - I found working with Gillian to be a very fulfilling experience and would thoroughly recommend it - reconnecting with myself has been a humbling, joyful experience - grateful, thank you Gillian.

Having struggled for most of my life with worry and anxiety, and coping with this by binge-eating junk food, sweets and chocolate, I had reached a point when I was in a constant battle with myself and my mental and physical health was deteriorating. After some research I found Gillian and after the initial 30 minute chat I went ahead and booked 4 sessions with her. What a great decision that was. The help and support she gave me was nothing short of life-changing. I have to admit I was a little worried about the hypnotherapy itself but once we started at no point was I scared or unsure - it was a very comforting and positive experience. Gillian's toolbox of techniques combined with her experience and wonderful caring attitude makes sure that you get the very best out of the sessions - and yes, it has worked!! I am now indifferent to the rubbish foods I previously craved. I feel calm, happy and have a self-assurance that had been missing from my life from a very early age. I have also stopped doing other distracting things such as biting my nails. I would recommend anyone thinking of hypnotherapy to get in touch with Gillian and talk to her (the initial chat is free) - you have nothing to lose.

What can I say about my hypnotherapy sessions with Gillian : I was both cynical and sceptical about this treatment but I had tried everything and nothing worked for me long term and this had been going on for a long time, decades really. After sessions with Gillian my life has had an amazing turnaround and all around me can see the peace, happiness and contentment in my life now. I cannot thank her enough it's been amazing. Gillian is both a calm and caring lady who wants you to get to a better place of thinking and the hypnotherapy sessions have been so valuable and life changing for me.

I am so very glad to have found Gillian! After 4 sessions of hypnotherapy (my first ever experience) the sadness I have carried for years has gone and I feel like a new woman! Such a relief and freedom. Gillian's work with my subconscious really has changed my thought processes. The best way to describe before and after is 'transformed and empowered'! I have confidence now that I can cope better with whatever lies ahead and will have no hesitation, if otherwise, in contacting Gillian again. Thank you so much Gillian, you are wonderful!!

Rosie McCallum

25 July 2025

I can't recommend Gillian enough - she has been able to connect me to a part of myself that I didnt know existed. I now feel and believe that I have the mental fortitude to face my issues/phobia head on (if said issues even arise as she seems to have unburdened me from those aswell). If you are considering hynotherapy, don't hesitate with Gillian. It will be the best investment for your mental well being that you can make. Thank you so much Gillian, Rosie

Gillian helped uncover a deep-rooted issue in my subconscious that I wasn’t even aware of. Since then, I’ve felt mentally stronger, more grounded in myself, and far more capable of building healthy, positive relationships without feeling emotionally drained. Her words are incredibly powerful and healing. I genuinely feel lighter and more connected to the world around me. Highly recommended for anyone ready to change!

My experience with Gillian has been transformational. I feel like I am now in control of food and not the other way around. I thoroughly recommend Gillian to anyone thinking about therapy for weight loss. I really do wish I had done it sooner.

A top-class service from Gillian, who is such a kind, understanding person. My hypnotherapy sessions were extremely beneficial and addressed many issues I had. Gillian helped me deal with these and, in the process, helped build my self-esteem and confidence.

I can honestly say that my experience with Gillian helped me in so many ways - with grief, stress, anxiety and lack of self confidence. I was going through a really hard time in my life and Gillian has helped to ease a lot of the problems. Can highly recommend.

I had the pleasure of working with Gillan over four sessions of hypnotherapy, and the experience has been truly transformative. I initially sought help for anxiety (and a million other issues)that had been holding me back in several areas of my life. Thanks to Gillan’s approach, I’ve seen a significant change—not only has my anxiety decreased, but I’ve also been able to return to work and start doing things I previously avoided due to fear or discomfort. Gillan creates a calm, supportive environment that made it easy to open up and engage in the process. The sessions felt tailored to my needs and I genuinely feel more empowered and in control than I have in a long time. I would absolutely recommend Gillan to anyone considering hypnotherapy. I didn't just have 1 issue, I had several and she works in a way that helped me through it all. If i struggle with anything else, I feel reassured to know that Gillians services are available and I will get through it. Thank you

I had the most wonderful experience with Gillian who was lovely and attentive and who very quickly understood and attuned to the specific problem I had. I only needed to go back for one extra follow up session to help me on my way and I felt a whole shift in my perspective.

I reached out to Gillian in January 2025 after experiencing recent emotional traumas resulting in low self esteem, self worth ,lack of self confidance and anxiety issues , the consequences of which had hugely impacted my sense of positive mental wellbeing. The hypnotherapy sessions with Gillian have completely changed my life around , so much so , I felt the need to write a 5 star review highlighting my positive experience . Gillian’s outstanding professionalism , counselling, hypnosis skills and intuitive healing modalities , underscore her level of expertise in this field to achieve the positive changes one desires and so much more. It’s a privilege to highly recommend Gillian Dalgleish Therapies as the overall positive results in my life have brought lasting peace of mind and an overall sense of positive wellbeing all thanks to Gillian’s expertise. With Gratitude Eileen

Life Changing! I have had hypnotherapy with Gillian for over a year, for a multitude of issues: the dentist (eliminated in ONE session), fear of failure, imposter syndrome & a catalogue of other issues related to cPTSD. This has been instrumental in my life. All of course aided by her other spiritual gifts, when i need a little direction.

Kim McLaren

I would highly recommend Gillian. From the very first introductory call I felt really ‘heard’ and completely at ease and that I could trust her and be completely honest about the anxiety I was experiencing around a particular issue. My first four sessions have been such a positive experience and genuinely allowed me to move from what was a very negative mindset (irrational forecasting) to a strong and positive one that has had wider reaching effects. I have always struggled with a level of worry and overthinking and would describe myself as ‘sensitive’ and Gillian really tuned into that throughout the sessions to support me. I found it really empowering to sit in the ‘chair of change’. Can't thank Gillian enough for her care and will be returning to consolidate the sessions.

Sophie Robertson

I would highly recommend Gillian. My first four sessions have been life changing. I have always struggled with claustrophobia and to be experiencing significant shifts is simply amazing. Can't thank her enough. Gillian is also an absolute pleasure to be around and I find the sessions very relaxing!

Lorna MacDonald

This is the second time I've had sessions with Gillian, and she is a truly gifted and talented hypnotherapist. I feel amazing after each session! Her compassionate and intuitive approach creates a safe, calming environment which really helped propel me to make a long overdue change in my life. If you're looking for someone who can genuinely guide you towards lasting change around negative beliefs or mindset, I highly recommend Gillian.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Gillian, and I can confidently say that she has changed my life for the better. After years (40 plus!) of struggling with smoking, I decided to try hypnotherapy as a last resort. From the moment I spoke and subsequently met Gillian, I felt welcomed and understood.Gillian took the time to listen to my story and understand my motivations for quitting. Her approach was both professional and compassionate, which immediately put me at ease. Since that session, I’ve been smoke-free since13th September, and I feel fantastic! I no longer have the urge to smoke, and I’m amazed at how much clearer my mind feels. The tools Gillian provided have empowered me to stay strong in moments of temptation.I highly recommend Gillian to anyone looking to quit smoking or make any positive life changes. Her expertise and genuine care make all the difference. Thank you Gillian for helping me reclaim my health and freedom!

Steph Price

I wish I’d found Gillian years ago! I had been suffering a bad spell of anxiety and i can’t believe the difference after my four sessions. I feel completely different having worked with Gillian. I can’t thank her enough for what she has done to help me.

Wow, what can I say, I was desperate when I came to Gillian for help with weight loss. This is a fabulous process for getting your sub consciousness on board. Gillian has a way of making you feel so at ease and listened too. I can truly say this has been amazing and I have learned so much about myself on the process. She listens and tunes into the problem, personalising her work just for you. I highly recommend you take advantage of her services with anything in your life you want to manage and change, I keep pinching myself at how easy I am now finding working towards my goal and its all thanks to Gillians unique positive attitude as well as her practices. I look forward to updating this post when I am 3 and then 6 months into my journey. I know as someone who has struggled with weight I was searching for how to lose weight, which of course I already knew I just kept sabotaging myself. Thanks to Gillian this is no longer the case, I highly recommended her support and services.

I recently completed four sessions with Gillian in August 2024, and the experience was both highly effective and unexpectedly enjoyable. Gillian's expertise as a seasoned clinical hypnotherapist was evident throughout. She managed to create a structured yet effortless process, allowing me to feel completely at ease and in safe hands at all times. Her approach made the entire journey simple and incredibly rewarding.

If you’re wondering if this is for you, as I was, Gillian will have an initial discussion with you to explore you own questions and explain how she can work with you. I found this enormously reassuring and constructive. Having now completed 4 appointments I wish I’d know about her years ago. A totally positive, life affirming, energising and transformational experience. I have now recommended Gillian to several friends and happily do the same to you.

Clair Kane

I didn't research endlessly for a Hypnotherapist in Edinburgh, but I felt compelled to contact Gillian. Writing I'm glad I did is an understatement. I instantly felt safe and hopeful on our first meeting. She has a beautiful aura and you feel like she has known you forever. I was dealing with childhood trauma amongst other things. The way I feel now compared to my first session is night and day. My life has changed irrecoverably. Not only has Gillian helped me deal with past trauma and self doubt, she has enlightened me. I will forever be grateful and in honour of our sessions I will pay it forward and become a healer myself. To anyone hesitating hypnosis I implore you to contact her, as soon as you hear her voice, you will know you have made the right decision. 💫✨🌌

If you are here means you just did the first step, now go and book this lady! She helped me a lot, I've overcome some of my challenges, I'm recommending her form the bottom of my heart! If you are facing some life turbulences this is a way to go! Gillian will navigate you and help you overcome many of troubles.

From the initial informal chat I had with Gillian over the phone, I was set completely at ease. My first experience with hypnotherapy, this has delivered real results for me, and I'd highly recommend Gillian (and her powerful 'chair of change!') to anyone considering it. Gillian shows great warmth and understanding, and I felt really tuned in to me. So, thanks so much, Gillian, and no doubt I will be back for a top-up session if I feel I need it!

This is the 4th time that I have had sessions with Gillian. Gillian is a very experienced therapist. If you have any behaviours/beliefs that you wish to change in your life for a more positive healthy outcome Gillian is the person to go and see. She has helped me enormously change negative behaviours that I have done for many years! I can’t thank Gillian enough as I feel that the changes which I have successfully made have helped me lead a healthier more positive life. I would highly recommend Gillian. Thank you

I have been working with Gillian for more than four years now, and she has done an incredible job of supporting me with anxiety management, which thankfully, I no longer suffer from. In addition, Gillian has also helped me with weight loss and many other concerns. From the very start, Gillian made me feel comfortable and at ease. Investing in five sessions with her was the best decision I ever made!

I am very glad I've been working with Gillian. She is a top professional and highly intuitive. I was impressed with the programme from the first appointment I had. It is been my first time using hypnosis and I immediately felt notable changes. She made me feel very welcome and comfortable which, it was so important for me. I would definitively and strongly recommend her. Thanks so much to you Gillian.

I have just completed Gillian’s 4 week course for weight management - having hit a difficult time and seeing my weight rise dramatically. She has helped me reconnect with myself and find inner peace, alongside supporting a change to a healthy and sustainable lifestyle. She is worth every penny and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is considering her services.

MarkH

I had 3 sessions with Gillian and I can honestly say that I have never felt as relaxed and stress-free as I do now. Honestly it was like a mystical re-wiring of my thought processes, and where there was anxiety there is now peace, and where there was self-doubt there is now confidence. I can't recommend her enough. Truly transformative, and I will be forever grateful for her guidance and inspiration.

I suffered from anxiety and panic attacks since my husbands death in 2019 . Having tried numerous treatments on the NHS with no success I decided to try private hypnotherapy. I found Gillian and I am glad I did. My life has changed and I feel great since my treatments with Gillian. She is a professional . She is the best. I thank her from the bottom of my heart for what she has done for me. 5*

Pauline McNeil

26 July 2023

I had 4 hypnotherapy sessions with Gillian a few months ago, and can honestly say the experience has been completely life-changing. There was so much holding me back in my recovery from Long COVID, part of which was psychologically crippling anger. Gillian’s hypnotherapy has somehow lifted that yoke from my shoulders, and I feel more emotionally light and free than I have in years. Thank you Gillian, from the bottom of my (recovering) heart 🙏
