Confidence/Driving Test

Thank you so much for helping me with my confidence problems with regard to my driving and taking the actual practical driving test. After our one session, the change in my outlook was immediate; I lost all of the panic attacks I usually felt while driving and as such, I was able to be relaxed and focussed enough to sit and pass the practical driving test, and first time too I might add.

I'm also finding that my general approach to stressful situations in day to day normal life has improved immeasurably since our session too. So once again, a huge thank you to you John, I feel as though many more varied and interesting doors have suddenly opened up to me in my life now; and in short, it's great!

Jim, IT support analyst

Smoking

I have been delighted with the outcome and relieved to have been able to stop smoking after so many years.
Jenny, Student

In spite of being a smoker for 20 years, when I came out of the session I felt that I was non smoker - and I was!
Andy, Day-centre Manager.

I have now been TOTALLY smokeless for 5 months and also use your techniques as a general stress reliever.
Joanne, Student

Since our session, I have ceased smoking completely. That's nearly 4 months now and I am confident your "cure" will ensure that I now remain a committed non smoker.
Adrian, Chief Executive Officer

I have smoked for 46 years since the age of 14 and made several unsuccessful attempts to stop. Following an hour session with John, I stopped and haven't smoked now for 7 months.

Agoraphobia.

When I met John, I was virtually agoraphabic. Some days it would take every effort to just hang out the washing without having a panic attack. After a session with John, I was able to walk my children to school and collect them. With a couple of 'top-up' sessions, I have been able to go on a holiday, got to college and have been able to go back to work as a teaching assistant.

My family and I can't thank John enough for giving us a normal life back.

Anxiety

"Anxiety about work had triggered severe depression, and I felt trapped with nowhere to turn. John listened carefully to my problems and with calm professional assurance, and genuine warmth, he gave me some excellent advice on how to lift myself out of my mood. Gently he helped me to get better, and also provided wonderful practical tips on relaxation techniques that I use frequently to control my stress levels. I would have no hesitation in recommending John to anyone who wants to change their life, in some way, for the better."
David, Director

Depression

After just one session my spirits were greatly lifted and life felt good and sweet again; 9 out of 10. The second session was just the icing on the cake.
Gerard, Carpenter

Weight Loss

After our session for weight reduction, I stopped snacking and I did lose weight. More importantly, I had a changed perception of myself: I used to have a low self image and now I feel a lot better about myself.
Jane, Mother

Loss of Confidence

.... .loss of confidence which particularly affected my standard of golf: a single hypnotherapy session resulted in an immediate improvement to my golfing results, and a substantial restoration in my confidence ..... sufficient for me to recommend John to others.
Norma, Mother

Fear of Flying

I never dreamt flying could be such a pleasure. After years of wanting the holiday but dreading the flight, I can now look forward to the whole experience.
Elizabeth, Nurse

Phobia: Fear of Moths

I have to say, I was very sceptical about the whole concept of hypnotherapy, and I agreed to have it more out of curiosity than anything else. I can't pretend I know how it works.... but, the moths I have encountered since haven't bothered me in the slightest. I don't flinch when they are in the same room and previously I would always be pre-occupied if I sensed them fluttering around the light. Not any more.
Emma, Social Services

Headaches

I have suffered from severe headaches for the past 8 years, sometimes so bad that my vision was impaired and I had to spend the whole day in bed in a dark room.
John told me that hypnotherapy can often help, and I was happy to give it a go.
I had one session with John and I haven't had a headache since (20th Feb. 2004)
Sabine, Psychology Graduate

Panic Attacks

Our single treatment session and the understanding of the problem, which I got through reading the notes you supplied me with, means that I can now go to all my meetings without the fear of panic attacks affecting my confidence and presentation.
Joe, Accountancy Manager.

Nail Biting

I want to say thank you for your helping me overcome my nail biting habit. Yes, it's worked! For the first time I'll be able to see the inside of a manicure salon!
Brid, Advertising Officer
