Experience

Sue believes that every client has a therapist who is right for them. She has quickly become a resource for clients who have tried other therapists and other modalities without relief. Anxiety figures largely in her practice, from agoraphobia to generalized anxiety.

She advanced through her studies quickly and graduated with High Honors. Clients report excellent results with habit changing and a feeling of ultimate relaxation after working with her, in particular. In the words of one client…

She has a fantastic sense of humour and is a real people person leaving you feeling very content and most importantly understood and cared for.

He further extolled her skills:

Sue has a real knack for taking complex principles and breaking them down into a simple and comprehensive manner, helping me to understand my past traumatic experiences, reactions in my life now I am older, and how this is manifesting through the anxiety and stress I experience.

Another client summed up her experience with Sue thus:

The Hypnosis Motivation Institute has provided Sue Tatro with incredible tools and skills. Her talents and passion shine and spread warmth.
