Ellie has been a huge help to my preschooler who had a few irrational fears. At the initial session Ellie established a good rapport with my child. They drew a nice picture together and my child really enjoyed the session. Ellie also made a couple of short audio stories to teach my child techniques for calming and encouragement. The stories were brilliant! We listened to the recordings each night at bedtime, and in three weeks my daughter showed huge progress. Most of her fears are gone and no more screaming. My child has been calmer when facing her fears and has more courage now to try and do new things. I can’t thank Ellie enough.

I feel privileged to have been a part of Ellie’s coaching journey, and as part of this began my own journey of change. Ellie’s gentle style, with quietly probing and insightful questions allowed me the time and space to reflect on my career and within a few short months, I secured a new role. With Ellie’s support, encouragement and use of reflective practice, I was able to see, accept and verbalise my strengths and abilities.

Ellie was absolutely lovely, understanding and professional. I can’t say enough about her. She’s a lovely human being ❤️

For me Ellie Lockhart is a 'Life changer'. I met Ellie out of the blue & she explained to me the basics of how the human memory works relating to traumatic experiences. When we met I had just finished 10 weeks of chiropractic work to correct a neck and spinal injury from a terrible childhood accident & was feeling a lot better after years of pain. I saw meeting her as more than good timing & everything she said- was explained well and made sense. Having also suffered from anxiety most of my life, I was keen to know if my accident had also cost me years of emotional and mental distress. So I asked if we could have a session. Ellie explained how the physical brain works so easily, I was immediately at ease with her. She is extremely kinda & empathetic and respectful. I trusted her immediately. In just a one hour session- which flew by- we conducted a very simple principle to reconnect the mind with the body. I discovered my trauma was caused by a far more recent incident - where my Photography business had been threatened by blackmailers. My fingers tingled during the session & I felt a genuine ease and joy come back to my life. TBH I had no idea I was in such a black cloud- just chugging my way through life- until after meeting Ellie. I can only say that my experience with Ellie - was profound and the process was NOT hard or upsetting. Its been a few months now, ringing in my ears has decreased and my wife says I laugh more and am generally more easy going and funny. Don't waste any more time- book a session with her PLEASE! You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

My son was going through a lot of stress and bullying. As a result, he would wet himself saying he did not feel he needed to go to the bathroom until it was too late. He had low self-esteem but put up a brave face to the world breaking down when he was with me. He was not performing at school and he was very distracted. I picked him up from school one day, he did not say a word. His sister said to me "his bully was out of line today". I saw a tear running down my son's face. It was then that I realised I needed to do more. After speaking to the school and getting help from them. I spoke to Ellie about what my son has been going through and she offered to try and do something for him. Within days she provided me with a recording. This was the story of a young padawan.....my son loves Star Wars. He started listening to this story. It taught him how to approach obstacles, how to stand up for himself emotionally, and how to be proud. When he feels down, he listens to his story while he is in bed. My son's life has taken a 360-degree turn. He now performs well at school, he is proud, and he has not wet himself in months. My son has got a new positive outlook on life and it is all thanks to Ellie. We appreciate you, Ellie. Thank you for the great work that you do.

I have been through quite a long period of counselling and health reform since I approached mental heath services in Dec 2021. I was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (re the childhood sexual abuse) which gets triggered by traumatic events This started visions of all the bad things that have happened in my life reeling over and over in my head. This affected my concentration, work, sleep, relationships, self-esteem etc. I was also diagnosed with high blood pressure and as pre diabetic and with a history of heart disease and cancer in the family, I made a decision to try and fix things up a bit. You have been instrumental in my recovery Ellie. I have benefitted greatly from all ‘your’ hard work and effort in researching practices for optimal health, studying to gain knowledge in, Psychology, Coaching, Hypnotherapy and Havening. You have a natural ability as a coach and counsellor, warm, calm, empathic, encouraging. You are the first to help anybody and everybody without a second thought. My biggest problem in being able to work through past trauma in counselling was the fact that every time I had to talk about it, it brought up all the bad memories and the ‘reeling’ started afresh. With the havening technique I didn’t have to relive the trauma or even talk about it. I just had to think about it and then tell you how much it affected me in a score out of 1-10. then you did the magic with the technique to reprogram my bio computer (brain)! I’ve greatly benefitted from a calming technique you taught me. With being able to close my eyes and envision (at will) my happy place, which I call ‘Warm Breeze’. I am and will always be so grateful for your unending support love and many wonderful talents.

I recently had the privilege to sit for a coaching session with Ellie. Through our conversation she adeptly drew my attention to an off balance that I have been experiencing, that I did not realize was affecting my performance. It was, in a sense, buried. She and I discussed its existence (which I was a little shocked that it was there) and ways to address and release this block and to elevate what I do. Then Ellie asked if she could walk me through a guided visualization. This is where Ellie shines, this is her magic. In the moment, she tailored the visualization session. This was geared specifically to me and the unique energy that this block was creating. Through the guided mediation, I was able to feel the new energy I was creating; Ellie had me connect to the process through colors, sounds and feelings. I will say that I have looked into myself in the past and saw colors and energies regarding what we discussed; this was different. This session with Ellie went deeper, the visuals were clearer, the colors richer and the relief I felt in the connection empowering. To this moment, the images, colors, and sensations from that session are easily remembered especially when I need to find balance in what was once blocked energy flow.

Ellie uses results driven modalities to make a difference for her clients from the first appointment. I was so impressed by her level of care and the impact that each appointment had. Ellie has an intuitive and kind nature that makes the work easy & her methods allow you to get straight to what you want to work on.
- Ingrid
Ellie has a wealth of knowledge in the realm of how to rewire our brains to move beyond stuck patterns that stop us from living our best life. She can work with you to find which modality would best suit your situation. She has such a calming manner, the ability to make you feel safe and is easy to talk with. I highly recommend Ellie for anyone looking for a different approach to dealing with issues coming up in their life, that they are ready to move forward from.

Have done some amazing work together with Ellie. First and foremost, Ellie creates a safe and secure space which allows for some amazing transformations to take place. I’ve seen my time with Ellie as a real investment in myself where I have tapped into subconscious patterns holding me back, and released myself from my own blocks. An investment that’s proved it’s value in my life everyday.
- Alex
Ellie has been easy to talk to, and has been honest about her journey as well. At times Ellie feels more like a mentor than a coach, and one who has gone through this or a similar experience. Additionally Ellie has always made herself accessible to me, and been responsive to any messages sent. Plus it has been nice that on occasion, I just get a random “how are you going?” message and it feels like Ellie has cares and takes personal interest in my journey.
- Mike
After just one session with Ellie I didn’t feel any longer like the car that I am trap in and is sinking will take me down to the bottom of the ocean. Also our second session was very helpful and resolved my problems. Ellie employs a number of technics to help her clients. Technic’s that she applied to my needs worked amazingly well. I can recommend Ellie as her personality and knowledge combined make for a professional you want to be help by. What is more, she makes time to check on how you are doing in between sessions, which I found awesome and unusual.
- Alena
Was lucky enough to meet with Ellie and what an experience. Ellie set the scene so I felt comfortable to be vulnerable and open up. Talked me through the process and we completed some havening. As the day went on and I’d gotten back to my usual day, I noticed changes in my thought patterns including best sleep for days in a row now. After suffering from a very active brain in the middle of the night. Looking forward to my next session with Ellie and seeing the continued progress. Highly recommend I cannot express enough how grateful I am to have found Ellie. Ellie has been a beacon of hope and support on my journey to overcoming huge anxiety and confidence issues. From the very first session, it was evident that her expertise and genuine care were exactly what I needed. Ellie created a safe and non-judgmental space for me to open up and explore my thoughts and feelings. Ellies insightful guidance and tailored approach to my specific needs made a world of difference (even better that we could relate on a number of things such as life and work and have a laugh together). The hypnotherapy sessions were particularly transformative. I had my doubts at first, but Ellies professionalism and skill put me at ease. I can honestly say that I've experienced profound positive changes in my mindset and self-confidence after each session. What sets Ellie apart is not just her professional skill, but her warm, compassionate, and supportive nature. She truly listens, and offers practical advice that goes beyond the sessions. It's clear that they she is passionate about helping people and genuinely cares about her clients' well-being (even sending follow up texts and checking in). Thanks to Ellies guidance, I've made incredible progress, and my anxiety and confidence issues have significantly improved. I feel like a more confident, empowered, and optimistic person. Its great to be a high functioning individual again! If you're looking for a therapist/ life coach or hypnotherapist who can genuinely make a positive impact on your life, I wholeheartedly recommend Ellie! She is a true gem in her field, and I am forever grateful for their guidance and support. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! X

I will start by saying that in my life I have had many traumas of various types, everything from repeated childhood sexual assaults to other events too complex to explain in a short review. Much of my life has been a relentless search for some kind of therapy that actually works for me. For years no modality I tried helped me at all. I even trained as a therapist myself in an attempt to better understand and mitigate the effects of these traumas on me. But still my life was consumed by the effects of my experiences. But Ellie’s adept use of the havening method has broken the pattern of failure and frustration. I have had several sessions with her, each session focussed on alleviating a different trauma. Each session was a marvellous success. After each session, the targeted trauma was either negated or reduced to a candle flicker of the raging fire it once was. I still have the memories of these events. But the emotional charge has gone from them. They are just memories, a narrative of the events. Inert. Thank you Ellie, your work has been life changing for me.

Undertaking these modules has challenged the way I see and understand how leadership works, I have better understanding now of who I am as a leader and how I can approach or do things differently to bring the best out of the team around me.
- Heather
I've had the pleasure of knowing Ellie for a short amount of time now and in that time I have seen results so quickly, havening is a new technique that has been introduced and so far the results are amazing compared to any other kind of counselling I have tried throughout the years. If you are open and willing to give this process a go I highly recommend Ellie. She's made the whole process super comfortable and inviting and I couldn't recommend someone better than Ellie.
- Atawhai
Ellie was so lovely and helpful to work with. She uses evidence based strategies and tailors them to the individual to create results that actually work. Ellie is genuinely kind and she puts so much time and care into her approaches. I would 100% recommend Ellie!
- Elsa
I found the sessions very helpful. It is an awareness training during which one is able to change one's thinking and feeling from negative to positive. I am confident that I will remain in this positive space for the rest of my days. It is like opening a door to a new and better life, paving the way for the future of my dreams. I have been able to leave behind the former version of myself by integrating the new learning into a much more real and authentic self. I am truely grateful for the assistance given to me and for the astonishing transformation of my personal self in the space of only 3 weeks.
- Sophie
I had such an amazing experience with Ellie. She helped me through some past trauma that was really impacting my life. She made me feel very at ease and I can't recommend her sessions enough! Thank you Ellie.

My biggest regret is that I hadn't met Ellie 20 years earlier.
