From Panic to Empowerment

“I used to have panic attacks daily. Since working with Leah, they’ve completely stopped — and I’m seeing myself with new compassion.”

Living with panic and self-criticism

This client had recently discharged from the ADF and was navigating multiple mental health conditions, including panic disorder and deeply rooted issues with self-image. She often experienced panic attacks multiple times a day and carried internalised self-criticism that made daily life overwhelming.

Initially seeking coaching support, she was drawn to Leah’s hypnotherapy offering — curious but uncertain whether it could truly help with their complex history.

Safe space to heal deeply

Leah created a space of safety, care, and non-judgement. Through hypnotherapy, the client was able to gently access and shift the subconscious patterns driving both their panic and negative self-perception.

She found the process unexpectedly powerful. Leah’s guidance allowed them to stay present and calm, even while addressing difficult inner experiences — unlocking a profound shift in how she viewed themselves.

Freedom from panic, a shift in self-image


Not only did the panic attacks stop, but a lifelong pattern of self-hate started to dissolve. The client began noticing themselves offering compliments rather than criticism — something she never thought possible.

Daily panic attacks
Constant self-criticism
Overwhelmed and withdrawn

Panic-free and emotionally steady
Speaking to herself with kindness
Feeling safe and empowered

“I never imagined I could feel this way. I’m not just coping anymore — I feel empowered, grounded, and finally free of something I thought I’d have forever.”
