Testimonials

Over the years I have received letters from many satisfied clients. These are just a few unedited extracts from letters in my files. I have withheld any details of the clients to protect their identities. All my work is of course totally confidential.

From a lifelong smoker.

I just wanted to write to say thank you for helping me to give up smoking. It was something that I wanted to do for a long time but could not bear the thoughts of withdrawal symptoms and weight gain. To my amazement, after a few visits to you my habit of 28 years is now behind me. Thank you, once again, for making me a much healthier, happier person

Fear of Flying. A postcard from Portugal.

The flight was actually enjoyable I even watched out of the window as the plane came in to land!

Anxiety

Many thanks for all your help, I have come along way since my first meeting with you some five sessions ago. It has changed my life around in a very positive manner. Many thanks again.

Examination results

I would like to take this opportunity , in the light of my successful exam results, to say a big thank you for all your help, encouragement, tender care and understanding you gave me throughout my study period. I know without your help I would never have had the confidence to be able to succeed.

Stress and anxiety

Thank you for your kind attentions during the last few weeks. I find the changes in my life as a result of the Hypnotherapy treatment nothing less than amazing. I would never have credited that the concentration on relaxation was such a useful key to unlocking other problems. I used to be an extremely nervous passenger in a car, and yet within two weeks I was able to make a journey of some 80 miles on the Motor way in some of the worst weather that we had that month. It was only when I arrived home that I realized I had actually enjoyed the whole day and remained totally free of the anxieties which had previously blighted so many journeys. On an everyday basis I am no longer rushing about to meet self imposed targets and deadlines. The result of this that free from these anxieties I have been able to enjoy the trivia of everyday life. The cumulative affect of this has meant that I now enjoy life so much more and so do those around me. After thirteen years I am no longer taking sleeping tablets and the amount of sleep I get is increasing albeit slowly but I have every confidence it will continue. Had I not experienced it myself I would never have believed such major changes could have been made so imperceptibly. My husband is equally surprised that such positive changes to our lives could have been made in such a short space of time. We would both like to thank you for the benefits that we have derived from your treatments. Please convey our best wishes to Sue who never failed to make us feel so welcome and at ease.

Changed my life

I am writing to express my thanks for the kind and sympathetic way that you have conducted my hypnotic treatment over the past few weeks. I am delighted with the results and had no idea at the beginning how successful this type of treatment could be. It has changed my life so much that I will always feel grateful.

Frog Phobia

From a national daily newspaper QUESTION : My wife does not like frogs. How can I dissuade them from coming into my garden- without hurting them? ANSWER : Further to the earlier answer, I too suffer from a frog phobia. I was so terrified of them that I could not even write the word "frog". I tried everything then, as a last resort, I visited a Hypnotherapist who helped me confront my fear. I am sure I will never like frogs but I am now able to cope better than I ever thought possible. My garden is now somewhere to enjoy rather than avoid because of the possibility of encountering a frog. I was that hypnotherapist

Extreme blushing

I would like to say thank you for all the help your help over the last few months. You have helped me in more ways than one, not only with the blushing but you have taught me how to relax and change my way of thinking. To be honest, I never even thought about using Hypnotherapy to help me. As you know I almost resorted to having an operation, but I am so glad I didn't. It gives me even more confidence, knowing I have done it on my own! (with your help of course) rather than by a needle! Overall it has been a great experience, being able to talk openly and relax at the same time. I feel like a new person & I am glad I did it! Thank you so much.

Studying & exam nerves

I just received my results for my University Law degree studies. I achieved exactly what I wanted ( a 2.1 ) I wish to once more thank you for your great advice and assistance in helping me realize my goals.

Panic attacks

I would like to take this opportunity of thanking you for the help you gave me over the past weeks. Panic attacks have, in one way or the other, controlled my life from the age of 5 and up until now I have tried to cope by avoiding situations where they are likely to reappear. Through your instruction I have been able to face my fears, work through them and feel in total control of myself. I would never have been able to do this alone, and thank you wholeheartedly for giving me a much more confident future. I would totally recommend you to anyone I know who could improve the quality of life through stress management. My thanks to you and Sue for treating me not just like a patient , but as a friend with your caring attitudes.

Drink & stress. (3 yrs ago)

Hello Keith, Thought I would send you an email just to say thank you for your help again, been over three years now since I visited you and still going great. Have not had a drink in all that time thanks of course to your help and life is still good. Family is all well and life in sunny Devon is lovely and relaxed. Hope you and well and not too busy dealing with everyone's problems but your are good at it. Once again thank you.

Smoking then loss of her baby.

Dear Keith, I came to you for help to give up smoking and found so much more. I can not put into words how much you have given me in the two months we have been working together. I was half the person I am now. I was six weeks pregnant and desperate to give up smoking for the health of me and my baby. Every week I grew stronger and had more self belief. Self hypnosis was a pleasure to learn. So easy to do and can be done anywhere. The power it gave me at work was encouraging; I no longer get nervous before a big meeting or presentation. Self hypnosis gave me a whole new lease of life. Tapping into my subconscious memory, I never realised how many unresolved issues played on my mind. You gave me the facility to be able to deal with these. To settle them once and for all, to say what I needed to say. You encouraged me to look deeper into what had happened in my past to be honest with myself. The relief I felt when I walked out of your house on a Friday was immense. I never realised how much these things had still bothered me. Through the tragedy of loosing my baby you gave me the courage and strength to deal with my loss. You let me talk about it. You listened to my pain and wiped away my tears. I treated it like therapy because to me it was. I feel like a different person, I have taken control of my life for the first time ever. I no longer smoke but better than that I know I will never smoke again; I will always be in control of my life. I will always feel as good about myself as I do now. And the best part is it wasn't even difficult. I have gained so much in the time I have worked with you. The money was never an issue; it was well worth every penny. Thank you for showing me how hypnotherapy could help me. It really has been. I will be forever grateful.

Stress & anxiety

You asked for my thoughts on Hypnotherapy. I am amazed at the difference it has made to my outlook on life. I feel good, more relaxed and thinking positively. It is as though a door has been unlocked and released all my feelings of guilt, frustration and anger. Thank you for providing the key. I am sure my life will change for the better. I have really enjoyed the sessions, although it has been strange to see my life pass before and at times very emotional. Thank you with all my heart for your sympathetic understanding and patience. Thank you also to Sue for her calm and friendly personality - it has been a pleasure to meet you both.

Stress related illness, Executive burnout. Loss of confidence.

Just a few lines to let you know I am now happily ensconced in my new job, and am thoroughly enjoying being back in the work fray! My new colleagues have helped me settle down and are very appreciative of the contribution I am making to the organization. All this seems so far away from when I arrived for my first consultation. Suffering as I was then from stress related illness, executive burnout, my self confidence in tatters, and questioning my ability to perform in a management roll again. As each consultation progressed, and as I practiced the advice being given, I was able to restore my self-confidence to such an extent that I was able to face quite 'stressful' situations ( e.g. a job interview, and latterly, a contract negotiation ) with a remarkable degree of control. Still working on the relaxation exercises, I have been able to concentrate on my work with renewed vigour. I can certainly feel the results in a much improved level of job satisfaction! And this is having a very beneficial impact on my family and social life. Thank you for all the help you have given me.

Fear of water. Lack of confidence & stress

I'd just like to thank you for all the help you have given me. Over the past few months I've done things which I would have dreamt of before. This includes learning to swim after over coming my fear of water. My last lesson ended with me jumping in the deep end of the pool, treading water then swimming off. Previously I was terrified of water and doing such a thing would have been inconceivable. One of the most important things I've learnt to do is relax. It means being in control of situations and being able to cope with stress. Listening to your relaxation tape on a regular basis enables me to maintain this state of calm. I've also become more independent and confident. I don't need anyone to "hold my hand" before I do things. I've discovered a whole world full people, places and activities waiting to be explored. Hypnotherapy is a way of re-writing the messages in the sub-conscious mind. It really does work! I know that should I ever find myself in a situation which my conscious mind doesn't know how to deal with, the answer will lie with Hypnotherapy. Wishing yourself and Sue all the very best.

A teenager with Stress, Eczema & asthma.

I am now three years older and wiser. Soon to turn eighteen, I have never and will never forget how you helped me to come to terms with myself & life in general. I often take a step back from mundane chores and general tensions of everyday life & just think about the gardens / beaches and far off places you took me to in my imagination. They were safe havens in times of distress. My excema has gone completely, as with most of my asthma. I achieved 10 grades A - C in my GSCE's and have been predicted 3B's for A level. And I am planning to go on to University. I did promise I'd write to say 'Thank you' & I never did. This is that Promise!

Terrible panic attacks.

Thank you very much for your help with my terrible panic attacks. I am really well and have been away for Christmas and had a really good time and didn't even feel panic stricken at all. I wish I had had help from you sooner.

No self confidence.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all of the help that you have given me - even though our meetings have been brief. From the moment I met you, you made me feel very comfortable and at ease and showed a great amount of empathy and understanding. You have been a true inspiration to me, and I am already beginning to feel more positive and confident about myself and my capabilities. Your tape is of great benefit to me- and the relaxation element is wonderful! I think you are a very talented man, who is obviously an expert in his field. In the short time that I have known you, you have already opened up a world of opportunities for me, and made me realize what a special person I really am- and that I can be and do what I want! I do really appreciate you sharing with me how you got to where you are- and how you came about having a major career change. It is always encouraging to know that the people who are helping and advising you have been through it themselves- and been extremely successful in the process. Regarding my office job, you have made me see that I need to hold on to this for the security and stability- and use it to my advantage while I am researching and discovering my true vocation. Thanks again for your support and encouragement.

Weight & Stress.

I am writing to you, to give you an update on my progress since I finished my course of therapy some weeks ago. I cannot express my thanks enough, for the new outlook on life that you have given me! When I came to see you, you told me about the benefits that could be gained from therapy that would help me do more than just lose weight ( the original reason that I contacted you). I have left it a while before writing to you , because I wanted to find out if the confidence and general feeling that I felt at the end, were long lasting & not just due to letting go of a number of problems that I had in my life sorted out.( I can remember you telling me that engineers had enquiring minds!!! ) Well I am happy to report that I still feel as good now as I did when I left the comfort of your chair for the last time. I have lost two stone in weight & I feel better about myself, than I have ever done in my life! I have recommended you to a number of friends & I know of at least 2 who have come to see you. Keith after experiencing Hypnotherapy first hand, I cannot think of anybody who could not benefit in someway from it. Once again thank you for everything.

Stress & Nail biting.

I am writing to say 'Thank You' . Since starting Hypnotherapy, my life has changed considerably. I have been to see many therapists and counselors and thought no one could help me, until I came to you as a last resort. Since then my life has really improved. I can now wake up each morning looking forward to the coming day. I feel much happier in my self and my confidence and self esteem have been much better. I can't than you enough for all you help. PS I still haven't bitten my nails! Thanks!

Sleep

Thank you for your help during my recent course of Hypnotherapy. I can honestly say that I feel a different person now that my sleeping pattern has returned to near normal. I wish I had saved myself years of worry by seeking help a long time ago, but better late than never!

Smoking

I thought you would like to know that I am still off the 'evil weed' which after one years abstinence is quite marvelous, and I have no intention of smoking again - and the money I've saved from not smoking is partially financing a Big Trip!
