Hello, I’m Sue Wilson and I run Bedford Health and The Bedford Hypnotherapy Clinic. I’ve been offering therapy and training since 2005, helping people of all ages deal with emotional, behavioural and thinking issues. Those issues cause Fears, Phobias, Anxiety, Depression and a wide variety of unwanted thoughts and behaviour.
I can also show you how to lose weight, stop smoking or increase your self confidence, (personal or professional).
In fact you’ve definitely come to the right place because I am perhaps Bedfordshire’s busiest and best known therapist. Since 2005 I’ve been in full-time practice, from professional, confidential offices, in the centre of Bedford.
I specialise in working quickly (I don’t do any long-term therapy…I don’t need to.) Working one-to-one with you to deal with your problems sympathetically and in a way that best suits your needs and goals.
The three main routes you can go down to be free from your problems and symptoms are;
‘Suggestion Therapy’ which is the use of hypnosis plus suggestions for positive changes to thoughts and behaviour. It is used for short-term issues (exams, tests etc), for habits such as nail biting and for my Stop Smoking, Relaxed Eating and Relaxed Childbirth programmes.
Psychotherapy or Hypnoanalysis which helps you to resolve emotional issues and conflicts in a gentle, drug-free way. Allowing your mind to sort out issues in your past which are affecting you today.
A way to let go of emotion and put your past where it belongs…behind you. Then you can feel whole again, either symptom-free or so reduced it doesn’t affect you in the same way any more. These two are essentially the same therapy; one with, one without hypnosis.
and:
‘The Relaxed Living Programme’ which is a mixed therapy approach, which may include Applied Psychology with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitation and Reprogramming (EMDR), Hypnotherapy and common sense!
We’ll work out a programme to suit your needs and issues. Looking at the way you think, at your habits and learning new ways of thinking. New, more helpful behaviours to begin to live a healthy, happy and successful life.
Children as young as 7 years of age and people as old as late 80’s have successfully overcome phobias, anxiety, depression, low self confidence, overeating, alcohol and drug abuse, plus much more, with these techniques.
I have also created programmes which have been designed to help you address very specific problems such as Weight Loss, Relaxed Childbirth, Alcohol over-use and Alcoholism, Professional Confidence and Children’s problems.
Over the years, as an established professional practice, I have successfully helped 100’s of people with fears, phobias, anxieties, depression and panic attacks as well as stress and anxiety-related problems, weight loss, confidence, social anxiety, pain-free childbirth as well as helping children and young adults overcome emotional difficulties.
You’re in safe hands
I have successfully been through therapy, to deal with a phobia, anxiety, depression and low self-confidence. That’s when I decided to retrain as a therapist. Which means I know what it’s like to go through therapy AND more importantly what it really feels like to resolve emotional issues that can control your life.
You no longer need to put up with that out of control feeling because I will help you take control and stay in control of your life once and for all
Contact Sue today…just call, text or email. Even this small step could help you to feel more in control of your life
Hi Sue. You asked me to get in touch after a month. Well it's four weeks today and I haven't smoked at all. It's been a hard month as I've not been sleeping well, up at ridiculous times and a couple of personal things that have been very trying. However, I really didn't want a cigarette at all. It did cross my mind a few early morning's, but the thought didn't linger. Had I have tried to do this myself I would definitely have given in. I have really surprised myself and my family. THANK YOU SO MUCH. You should be hearing from my hairdresser XXX at some point, probably after the festive season. My daughter XXX may well be in touch at some point, I am keeping out of it and letting her decide for herself. Thanks again, regards Pat 13/11/19
Sue, thank you very much for your help. I feel so much calmer and happier in myself. Therapy really helped with my issues and restored my self esteem. I feel so much more positive about the future and feel much stronger in myself. 29/10/19
Sue has really helped my 9 year old son Archie, he was struggling to fall asleep at night on his own and never slept through the night without waking up. We only saw her for three sessions and it that time Archie is so much better, he falls asleep on his own now and sleeps through the night a lot more than he used to. Thanks so much Sue we are so much more relaxed as a family and sleep time has become a pleasure rather than a chore. 4/11/19
Just to let you know I went to my dental appointment this morning and had to have 4 injections in my mouth, at first I was slightly worried because I didn’t have time to imagine my ‘safe place’, but by the time he put the next needle in I was completely fine and calm. It definitely was not as traumatic and painful as I used to believe it was. I’m just emailing to say how grateful and appreciative I am, it really has helped me so much!
Hi sue thank you again for my treatment it’s been nearly two weeks now. I am settling into being a non smoker really well. I wonder why I ever smoked in the first place it just seems so pointless. I have been filling my time up easily planning new ideas for my business. I feel like I spend more quality time with my son as I’m not constantly thinking about when I can sneak out for a fag! I have been to the gym much more as I know my drive there and back won’t involve a fag stop! I feel fitter, healthier and better already. Every now and then I think about smoking but I use the tools you gave me and the thought disappears within seconds. Thank you again for helping me become a non smoker.
Hi Sue I got hypnotised from you over two years ago for stop smoking and have not smoked since.
I certainly feel the sessions have been of great benefit and I am feeling more able to cope with the IBS. I will certainly recommend you to many others
I came to Sue with a best man speech to perform and a debilitating fear of public speaking, I left with a new found confidence and outlook on life. Sue was welcoming and reassuring from the start, making it enjoyable for me to attend sessions. She not only taught me the strategies needed to overcome my fear, but lessons for all aspects of my life as well. I couldn’t recommend Sue highly enough.
Thank you - 5 months on Hi Sue! Long time no speak- I hope you are well! Just wanted to say thank you for everything you’ve done- I’m at my happiest I’ve been in years / comfortable in myself and I’m so grateful for everything! Work is going great now, taking on my responsibilities- and I’m loving it. But yes just thought I’d send you a message, everyone has said what a change they’ve seen in me and I think of you every time :-) so thank you!
Reporter Hayley O’Keeffe writes about how hypnosis saved her from a lifetime of catching the bus.
I failed my driving test six times, there I said it.
Aged 28 this was not a good thing for me, learning to drive was something I felt I should have done a lot, lot sooner, but as circumstances dictated it just never quite happened. I’ve had plenty of lessons mind you, and whenever I had any spare money would spend it on intensive courses to try and get myself that illusive pink card. But to no avail, when it came down to actually doing the test I was just so nervous. I’ve had tests where the examiner has grabbed the steering wheel, where I’ve travelled in second gear down Bedford’s London Road, and where I’ve (almost) gone the wrong way around a roundabout. If I’ve ever cut you up I’m very sorry, I was just nervous! I’ve had some great tuition too, from the ever patient Gerard Doyle of Drive Johnsons, he has had to put up with a lot I can tell you. Part of it must be to do with my age, the 17-year-olds just hop in and get going, but I think it was predominantly my mindset. I’ve always been the passenger in the car, and have never really been interested in motoring, super cars and especially not Top Gear! Being behind the wheel seemed like an alien world and was more than a little scary. So that’s where Sue Wilson came in.
Sue works at Bedford Health in St Cuthbert’s Street and is a hypnotherapy practitioner, what's more she offers a special pre-driving test session to help candidates get over their nerves and achieve focus. I booked my seventh driving test, and after much deliberation a session with Sue, would this help me pass my test once and for all? The fateful day arrived and I headed to Bedford Health for the hour long session.
Part of me thought that this would be just the ticket, another hoped that I wouldn’t come out of the treatment room quacking like a duck! But hypnotherapy is nothing like the myths. In a consultation Sue asked me just how anxious I felt about the test, what I was most concerned about and what I wanted to feel like when I was doing the test. And after the hour, which was very relaxing indeed, I came out feeling focused and ready for the test, in a way I have never felt before. And do you know what? Later that afternoon, when the examiner turned to me and said you’ve passed I was so excited, because hypnotherapy, and a little perseverance really does work!

Sue, feeling great as I have now lost a total of 10lbs
I’ve lost 10lbs in the last 4 weeks and I’ve had no problems, I’ve listened to the CD once a day. The Relaxed Eating Programme is very easy to follow; I’ve had no cravings, and I feel great. I now naturally make the right food choices that are good for me without giving it any thought, and I manage my food portions, listening to my body and know when I have had enough to eat and do not feel I have to finish what is on the plate, just because its there
I feel more relaxed, calm, more at ease, you gave me that push. I had to take in my favourite pair of trousers by a couple of inches. I've stopped picking and am thinking about food differently.
Hi Sue, I'm 12st 3 and still dropping! I have now lost 3 stone which is kind of unbelievable! Thank you so much
I have now lost 1.5 stone, which I am truly delighted with! Thank you for all your help
I've lost 23.5lb since starting! Now weight 8st 9lb
Thanks Sue ... The Relaxed Childbirth Programme helped me stay calm and enjoy the birth, which I really did, and I have been very happy and have coped very well upon returning home. Everyone commented on how well I looked and I was out and about the next day doing my shopping!
I just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you for helping me stop smoking. It was my one month 'anniversary' on friday and since our session I have not looked back. It's funny - sometimes I forget I ever even smoked at all! Thanks again!
I'm very impressed ... I haven't given in! I feel better in myself and for the baby ... I would recommend it to other mothers who smoke.
