I went to see David with a lot of hope but very low expectation since I had tried almost all sort of therapies before to help me with my anxiety and depression. His warm and relaxed approach made it very easy for me to open up to him and explain that even though I have been doing soul searching for a long time and addressing all my issues I still don’t feel happy. I had 3 sessions with him and found out alot about myself that I didn’t find in all those years. It was very overwhelming to begin with since it uncovered many unpleasant things but those what allowed me to find the missing pieces of my puzzle. I am forever grateful to him as for the first time in my 41 years I feel free!
My main reason for building the courage for booking an appointment to see David was that I was in utter despair with where my mind was taking me, with the constant chitter chatter that consumed me and the self loathing that had fully taken its grip. Day to day life wasn’t a life I wanted or desired, taking the steps to confront it was equally hard but also liberating. The work we did unearthed stuff but it made my mind redirect it and look at it from a different perspective. David is upfront but equally very caring and brilliant at what he does. I did also acknowledge that it was my choice where I wanted to go with it but I trusted David and he guided me in the right direction. My life is back on track and my thought processes are positive and more objective. I have and will highly recommend him to anyone who feels lost or stuck in life, or struggling with something that is preventing them living their life authentically and positively.
Seeing David is best thing I have done for myself. If only I had done it sooner. I have tried different types of therapy over the years to resolve my problem, but it just kept coming back. With David the root cause was discovered in a few sessions and addressed. It’s not a walk in the park but I quickly felt a very noticeable improvement and I am now looking forward to the rest of my life. Thank you David.
From the first time I met David I knew that he would be able to cure me, he knew exactly why I was afraid of flying before I did and in only a handful of sessions I was ready for my first flight which dare I say it I actually enjoyed! David is very calming and his downloads are very helpful. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to others.
When I first set out on this path of self help and self discovery, I genuinely didn't know if anyone could really and truly help me. After searching online for therapists and then researching some more, I booked a consultation to learn about the "process" and to see if David would be a "good fit" for me. The consultation was quite an eye opener for me. David was patient, understanding, non-judgemental as well as extremely accepting of all the emotions that I was experiencing. At one point during our discussion, I ended up in tears and rather than dousing me in the usual "there there, it'll all be ok", statements that I was used to, David calmly and patiently picked up a box of tissues and offered it to me then sat patiently and waited for me. He didn't try to fill the silence or try to stop me. He just let me be. We then started discussing matters again and David addressed my tears with just the right amount of empathy and understanding and made sure that I didn't feel embarrassed or stupid at any point during the consultation. I realised at that point that David may just be the solution that I needed. By my second session, I found a profound change within myself. A quiet sense of self confidence and understanding of myself and my emotions were the result and the changes within my relationships with those around me changed drastically and for the better. I had 5 sessions with David in total and they genuinely have helped shape my life in a positive direction. No, David cannot stop life from throwing problems at you, (can anyone?) BUT he can help you to understand yourself better and learn to deal with problems in a much more healthier and effective manner. I still have issues and problems, yet I have learnt and accepted that I need to work on myself on a daily basis, which is what I am trying to do and David has taught me the tools to help me with that process. I have an extremely hectic life but have found myself sitting peacefully and enjoying those few minutes that I get to myself with a smile that radiates from within. I have David to thank for that. Many may think that his session prices are expensive but I think you really have to evaluate whether a long term change in your mindset for the better is worth the cost or not. If nothing else, I would advise you to, at the very least, go for the consultation before you make up your mind. I did, and it changed my life.Moreexpand_more
David's sessions were well planned and tailored to meet my Individual needs. Always greeted me on time and very quickly was able to identify my problems and devise a remedial approach. His many years of experience soon became evident which instilled much confidence in me. I appreciated his direct manner and approach. He also willingly supplied me with relaxation methods. Many thanks!
Having suffered with stress for all of my adult life my family have been trying to encourage me to seek professional help for a number of years. I finally went to see David and five sessions has enabled me to deal with the stresses in my life a lot more productively. I worry much less about things that are not within my control and stress in general no longer rules my life.
Having spent years struggling and avoiding, my parents put me in touch with David as a last ditch attempt to help me. I can quite honestly say it was the best thing that could have happened. It was hard work getting reacquainted with memories and feelings that I had buried, David was nothing but suporrtive, thoughtful and understanding. Today I achieved something I never thought possible… My life has changed considerably and I no longer live in fear. Take the leap.
When I first came to David I was not sure he could help me. I've been to him a few times now and I have to say, he is absolutely brilliant! I have come on so fast and made so much progress it's really astounding. David does not use "quick fixes" in hypnotherapy by suggestion that you see a smaller plate as satisfying for example. He goes to the root causes deep inside which you never knew made you who you are, including those parts that aren't so easy to deal with (putting on weight, phobias etc) If you decide to go to see David I can tell you from my experience that you will meet a genuinely caring person who does indeed have the tools to really help you. Fantastic guy, thank you David.
I've seen David about 7/8 times now. During my consultation, he knew so much about my phobia I immediately felt reassured that he obviously had a lot of knowledge and experience. He's easy to talk to, and makes you feel very safe and comfortable and most importantly, understood. Its not a quick fix, don't expect to have one session and walk out rid of all your sufferings, instead it changes how you think in what feels like a very subtle way, but the impact it has when put into practice during stressful times, is really quite impressive. I have suffered with anxiety and emetaphobia all my life, and I have had various different therapies since I was 7 (now 25) and nothing has seemed to do much. This is the first time I feel stronger, and like I can cope better. Its difficult to explain but I feel like I care less about all the nonsense that preoccupies my mind. I still suffer with everything I did before I saw David, but I'm understanding and experiencing how the same subconscious mind that makes me feel as awful as I often do, is the same mind that has the power to help me, in fact its the only thing capable of helping me get over/cope better. I will continue to see David and practice the techniques I've learnt.Moreexpand_more
A friend recommended David to me and, to be honest, I was doubtful that he could help me with complex problems stemming from a disordered childhood and a dysfunctional family. But I was at a very low point and phoned him. He reassured me that he could help and so the sessions began. The effects of David's work were subtle but after my second session I experienced an unexpected and big shift. These changes continued and by my sixth session I felt quiet self-confidence, I found myself relating and responding to people in a subtly different way. For the first time in my life I felt secure and happy with myself. Life's ups and downs still happen of course, but they don't throw me as much, I know my equilibrium will be restored quickly and I am happy to be me. I use the download David sent me every day and find it reinforces the effects of our sessions. Thank you David, I'll always be grateful for your skills, empathy, and wise comments on life.Moreexpand_more
Anxiety and Bataphobia. After years of trying different remedies and self help methods I decided to seek professional help. I had read that Hypnosis had a very high success rate. After doing a lot of research online I came across David. His expertise and experience convinced me instantly that this would be the person to help me. After our intial Skype convetsation, we agreed on a date for my first session. I was very nervous and excited at the same time. As soon as I met David he took me into a relaxed state of mind. His confidence and empathy really made me feel that I trusted him and I wasen't going to be judged for the reason's I had intially gone for. Every session I became more and more at peace with myself and the missing pieces of the puzzle made sense at last. David had unlocked the mysterys I had never neen able to find and finally the demons had left my thoughts. I have never had this inner peace that I feel and i'm conqouring fears head on that I couldn't face for years. Finally I am getting my life back, but this would never have been possible without David. The insight he has into how you think and why is truly amazing, i can't thankyou enough for giving me hope again and showing me a new chapter in my life. Zoe Rust.Moreexpand_more
It's hard to really express in words how much David has helped with my anxiety. It took place over four sessions and unearthed some interesting things. I approached it with a positive mind and got the results I want. Yes there are cheaper out there, but David is worth every penny having got the results I have.
After a lifetime of anxiety and several bouts of depression, followed by 2 years of therapy, Ii became depressed and very anxious again and was in despair as to whether I would ever be truly well again. I was managing the anxiety …. Just, but the depression was very deep. A dear friend gave me David's number and an appointment was made for the following Saturday. From the first moment David shook my hand I felt calm and relaxed, something anyone who has suffered depression would understand how rare that is when meeting someone new. I had 6 sessions with David, not all of them easy, but David was always there to talk or e mail me when things became tough. What followed over those 6 sessions is nothing short of miraculous. Not only have I picked up my life again, lim actually enjoying challenges that in the past would have been stressful to say the least. I am convinced that working with David made this possible, he has an amazing gift. I am now a 63 year old grandmother who is still riding her young Arab horse and leaving the youngsters in our wake.Thank you David from the bottom of my heart. June Powell.Moreexpand_more
