"This is incredible value for money, steps such as this will ensure QinetiQ’s benchmark improves and really drives into the future with determination and commitment"
QinetiQ is one of the World's leading defence technology and security companies. In the UK alone, QinetiQ employs several thousand people. However, the economic downturn over recent years has effected government and MOD spending meaning that research and development has also taken a downturn. Along with many other companies, QinetiQ has had to make huge cuts including restructuring and redundancies.
Sure Life Hypnotherapy worked with QinetiQ offerings an on-site hypnotherapy service to employees. On the first day of advertising this service, the response from staff was phenominal and the waiting list grew very quickly and so advertising was stopped after the first week. Word of mouth was doing all the work.
The success of this service has been phenominal. Clients have come forward with a range of issues both personal and work related that impact on their ability to perform their day to day roles.
Issues include:
- Work related stress
- Anxiety
- Confidence
- Motivation & focus
- Weight management
- Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
- Alcohol issues
Feedback from the clients at QinetiQ has demonstrated that this service is value for money, has saved QinetiQ money in staff absence, has increased staff performance and has improved staff perception of the company.

More Feedback
"I have found this service invaluable and I know that I would have taken time off with work-related stress if I had not had the help and support from Catherine to deal with the pressure I was feeling. I also know that I have learnt valuable skills which will help me in years to come through these sessions and I feel that this service is fantastic for those who sincerely want to improve in any area of their life"
"I’m using the sessions to help drive self confidence as I’m keen to make career progression in QinetiQ and feel that previous confidence issues have held me back a bit. Also, as well as the hypnotherapy, the initial couple of sessions where I discussed about myself where really useful, Catherine was able to deliver some excellent life coaching in these sessions which I’ve used to devise a personal plan with some goals."
"My reasons for attending are to improve my performance at work and enable me to better-organise my time. As a result of these sessions, I am noticing improved concentration and greater productivity as I am less distracted by tasks that are competing for my time. This is particularly important for my job role and it is helping me to take on additional activities and responsibilities".
