Ian Williams Hypnotherapy Clinic Swansea

Unqualified, inexperienced therapist who stops treatment when he know he's out of his depth. He is not registered with GHSC or GHR which he claims. This is nowhere close to other hypnotherapy courses I have taken. Which is confirmed by Ians false claims being registered with several associations including the GHSC and GHR when he isnt. All he wants is your money and has no regard or compassion for people with mental health difficulties. He even charged me for a phonecall when I was in a crisis. Since writing reviews he has attempted to bribe me with a pathetic partial refund to remove or change this review. I refused and decided now to revise this review with additional information and to pursue civil action for a full refund. Referring to my experience heres the run down:My retired father paid upfront for a course of hypnotherapy on a 'until I recover basis', only received 2 sessions which were nowhere near close to other courses I have been on. I was going through a severe crisis and he told my father to section me, instead of working with me; proving his inexperience.We chose to ignore this inapropriate advice and found an alternative and more helpful therapy and made a full recovery. He has now kept the full balance and when we request money back; he gets very aggressive and to not contact him again.He made a list of reasons to justify keeping money, including charging us for note taking, audio recording (which never existed) and even the deleting of these apparent recordings.We are now seeking legal advice and will be contacting Swansea Trading Standard. .He should not be in this field of work.We have been chasing him for the money for over 2 years.All we want is out money backPlease proceed with caution and do your research before considering using his services, his actions are not suitable for people with anxiety and ADHD.Moreexpand_more

Ian is extremely professional and feel very comfortable talking to him about personal issues I have struggled to deal with over the years. He is a non judgemental, genuine guy and would highly recommend him.

Had a taster session for acupuncture and hypnotherapy. Was deeply relaxing and received a sound, professional service. Would definitely go back.

Excellent service. The therapist, Ian, fully explained the theory behind the technique he used. This not only put me at ease but also added credibility and increased my confidence that this might just work. Will use him again and would recommend him to others without a moment's hesitation.

The sessions I had to stop smoking and deal with anxiety were very successful, in addition to the sessions techniques were given that can be used to minimise any remaining cravings. The therapist made me feel comfortable and relaxed, and I left there with increased confidence in my ability to cope with stress.

I had a lovely Indian head massage here last Saturday, it was very relaxing. Lovely place. Definitely go back!

Had hypnosis with Ian for past life regression. Session was excellent and the memories were vivid. I didnt think hypnosis was for me but will definately book more sessions with Ian and would fully recommend this therapy.

I had an indian head massage here and would highly recomment you to try it. Brilliant value for money, lovely surroundings, giving a relaxing feeling and best head massage I've had yet. Plus the guy who does it is a hottie :-).

My daughter had failed her driving test 6 times and I/she was desperate. She had a chat with Ian, plus one full session and she past. We are both very, very grateful.

I have had a very unhealthy relationship with food, especially chocolate, for almost 50 years. From the very first session with Ian this changed for the better. We discussed issues from my past and the present-day anxieties resulting from them, which the therapy instantly began to relieve. Further sessions have reinforced this strength and confidence, and I am steadily losing weight. Thank you Ian for enabling me to face my demons and move on!

I was a smoker for 30 years, with many unsuccessful attempts to stop. Until I met Ian Williams. He first told me to not smoke for 4 hours, which seemed impossible for me to do. He then came to my home and told me to relax whilst he took me through his process using his tools to enable me to go to a place in my mind I had never been before. He relieved me of the compulsion for cigarettes. Many Thanks Ian.

I have suffered with anxiety for many years, particularly in performance situations. I recently was facing an interview and decided to try EMDR and Hypnotherapy, it was a profound experience! My anxiety reduced dramatically during the session and continued to remain at a very low levels, it slightly increased during the first 5 minutes of the interview, but I was able to ground myself using techniques that I had been taught by the therapist, my anxiety subsided within five minutes and remained at a manageable low level. On reflection, I found the therapist very experienced and although on times during the therapy I could not make logicall sense of the process, I did at all times feel safe and in good hands. I would highly recommend the therapist Ian Williams and his methods of therapy, if it worked for me it could also work for you. I got the job yipee.

I wrote at Ian William's request a very positive review on 19th July 2012 but now feel I need to change it. I went to see Ian for weight loss hypnotherapy but during the 1st session it became obivous that my anxiety and depression would need to be addressed before tackling the weight loss. I saw Ian regularly for 6 months and he used various techniques EFT, EMDR, hypnosis and CBT in a counselling setting. I felt supported and trusted Ian with things I've never told anyone else. We agreed that after Christmas we'd tackle one of the issues I found most difficult. I was extremely anxious in this 1st session after the 3 week break but was shocked that half way though this session Ian ended it by saying that 'it had been a complete washout due to my thinking'. I fully accept that it could be difficult to work with me due to the depth of my depression and would have understood him wanting to end the theraputic relationship but this was very unprofessional . The ending of a theraputic relationship is very important to the ongoing mental health of the client. I was devastated by this and even now 3 months later am finding difficult. I don't wish to stop anyone from seeing Ian, he taught me many techniques which have greatly helped and think he could be very effective in many situations. I wouldn't normally write a review like this but he has refused to explain or to meet me to discuss it.Moreexpand_more

After having my baby and not losing the wright and going into a deeper depression, I decided to give hypnotherapy for weight loss and self confidence. I looked around the web and decided to give IAN WILLIAMS a ring. Right from the start Ian was so calming and understood where I was coming from and my needs. I booked in for the 4 sessions which covers the gastric balloon and self confidence/anxiety. First meeting was overwhelming and I found myself opening up about alot of things which have been hidden for a long time, which contributed to the root of my problems. I found the suggestions that Ian gave me really helpful and I felt great! I feel more confident, more happy and most importantly I feel alot better in myself. I wish I had tried this sooner. But by heck I am glad I am found him! THE OLD ME IS ON HER WAY BACK. Thank you Ian :-).Moreexpand_more

Really pleased with the service Ian Williams provided, not just did I receive my sessions but he was willing to do the excersise with me and I am still getting phone calls and txts to support me in my weight loss. After my session I felt tired but positive about losing weight. I suffered with anxiety towards what people "might" be thinking but he worked on that too and now I feel positive towards all aspects of my life. Would recommend to anyone, amazing!

I decided to give hypnotherapy for weight loss a try due to having tried lots of different diets which I was forever getting bored of. The shock I had was when I got on the scale 4 weeks ago and my weight read 14st 4lbs. I was horrified for I was now 3 and a half stone over weight. I had a few consultations with Ian williams before the actual therapy where we consentrated on what makes me eat so much. Also I found the suggestions that Ian gave me really helpful. Ian helped me to feel very comfortable and was also very professional. After the first session of therapy I felt very tired and slept like a baby. That morning after i awoke I felt very motivated and excited about changing the way that I eat. I have stuck to 3 basic meals a day replacing my high calorie sncks with fruit. After the first 10 days after the therapy I had lost 4 pounds. I also after the first week started going out on a slow jog for 20 minutes and then straight on the power plate for 20 minutes 3 times a week. I cannot tell you how much my life has changed in such a short time. I feel more confident, more happy and so very motivated. I have not gone on the scale since the first 10 days and I have not felt the need too due to my clothes feeling slacker. All my friends are telling me that I look alot better and most importantly I feel alot better in myself. Also I feel that all these other diets were worth nothing for it did not change my thinking. This therapy is worth every penny and I will certainly reccomend this to everyone. My next goal is to quit smoking. My new confidence is giving me the motivation to do this Bring it on I say!Moreexpand_more

Relaxed atmosphere, obtained outcomes I desired. Very professional. Will visit again & recommend to others!
