What clients have to say

Hypnotherapy has totally changed my outlook on life and changed me to thinking much more positive. Ian was very professional and his treatment room is a lovely relaxing space. I can’t thank Ian enough for everything.

Everything was easy to understand, and he gave me certain activities to complete, through the day, and prior to going to bed in the evening, and the results are amazing. I am sleeping a lot better, find it easier to fall asleep, but the main thing for me was waking up less through the night.

Catherine Short

Ian very quickly addressed issues I was having with just a conversation this is due to his extensive knowledge within the industry. This allowed him to get straight to work on each muscle group to relieve my pain and symptoms.

Daniel Hardman

From the beginning of the therapy my sleep improved and gradually over the sessions my symptoms reduced. By the end of my course of therapy I felt much stronger and empowered to deal with daily life.

If you struggle with food noise or feel like food thoughts dominate your day, I would definitely recommend giving hypnotherapy with Ian a try. It’s been a surprisingly empowering experience.

I saw Ian for four hypnotherapy sessions to help with my long-standing fear of flying, and the results were amazing. He created a calm, supportive environment and guided me through techniques that helped shift my mindset.

Tom East

I believe hypnotherapy has helped me to reverse a lot of and allowed my thought patterns to become more positive. This has given me the belief that I will get better.

The way Ian explained the root cause and how hypnotherapy could help made sense and I bought into this from day one. I started to feel improvement after my first session and after 3 sessions the difference was massive.

Dave Fogg

After a few weeks I felt more positive, relaxed and was sleeping better. I still have some work to do but I feel Ian has provided me with the tools to make positive changes moving forward.
