Mark Mansfield

I have changed my relationship with food and it's stuck, with Mark's help. I'd tried many diets before: slimmer's world, weight watchers, lighter life, atkins, you name it. None of them worked long term as none of them addressed my personal relationship with food, whcih Mark did. He tailor made my hypnosis and CBT techniques around my particular issues which you won't get anywhere else. Mark has the right balance of educating, challenging my negative beliefs and actions, motivation and encouragement to engage with the programme and develop my own skills so I can maintain the change on my own long term. The after programme materials and support has been great, not that I've needed it yet. I don't feel that I've been restricted or socially isolated through my life change around food (diet doesn’t seem the right term to use here as I was able to eat everything in proportion). I've lost 2 stones in 5 months and I have the healthiest relationship with food that I've ever had. I now have strategies to deal with my eating triggers and my enjoyment of eating is amazing. I actually taste food now. Thanks Mark!Moreexpand_more

After researching hypnotherapists in Cardiff I got in contact with Mark to see if he could help me with my anxiety issues that were starting to control my life. From the very 1st call/ meeting I had with Mark to discuss my problems I felt very comfortable, at ease and there was someone who could help me. I had 6 sessions of hypnotherapy with Mark and with those came audio files to listen to and material to read. The anxiety that was starting to control my life has gone. I do and would recommend Mark. Thank You Mark.

We went to Mark as a last resort when my 11 yr old daughter was strugglimg with anxiety issues relating to her Sports training. I can not emphasise what a difference he has made (along with thankfully a very supportive coach) to her confidence, performance and all round happiness. I would highly recommend Mark, we just wish we had found him earlier, it would have saved my daughter from a lot of tears and sleepless nights.

Mark was a lot of help for me and I Look at FOOD IN a different way now, with no pressure in the time to loss weight. Will miss the meetings as it was" my time". Will sure keep in touch for support. Thank you Mark. Diolch yn Fawr.

I went to see Mark with confidence and self belief issues, from the very first session I felt much better and this continued throughout my sessions. I felt comfortable and ease with Mark and found him very easy to talk to. Would definately recommend to others.

Speaking to Mark has been a huge help in allowing me to control anxiety issues and I only wish I had contacted him earlier. He is extremely professional and a great guy to boot. He tailored a series of sessions to suit my particular needs and his contribution has been immeasurable. Even though I do not live in the UK, I have been able to schedule my sessions with mark via Skype which has been very helpful. I'd highly recommend his services.

If you are considering hypnotherapy then Mark is just the right person, his professional and relaxed approach enables you to quickly see results. I can honestly say this is the best money I've ever invested in myself. As a result of Mark's course of hypnotherapy I now feel more confident and able to tackle life's challenges.

I came across Mark at a particularly difficult period in my life. I immediately felt comfortable in talking to Mark and had no hesitation in signing up to a course of six sessions. At no time did I feel rushed in telling Mark about myself and on the contrary our sessions would frequently overrun. My issues included anxiety, anger and low self-esteem. Mark was quickly able to identify the causes of my unhappiness and summarised in a nutshell what we needed to achieve - for me to 'calm down'! As the weeks went by I increasing began to feel significantly better in and about myself. Although I will miss our fortnightly sessions I believe that I am now in a position to deal with my issues and move forward with confidence in the future. I have no hesitation in recommending both the therapeutic benefits of hypnosis and Mark Mansfield as an excellent therapist. Will E - Llanelli.

Mark is a grounded and grounding force. He is welcoming, warm and friendly, but that doesn't mean he he takes his work lightly. The process was often hard and challenging… I had a lot to face up to… but the results have been so wonderful, and I am so thankful for all of Mark's help. Mark is a wonder.

After almost eighteen years of being overweight and feeling ugly and disgusted by myself, I decided that I had had enough of the yo-yo dieting, false New Year resolutions and empty promises of "I will lose weight… I'll start tomorrow" and so decided that the only way forward was to opt for gastric band surgery. My research began and it became apparent very quickly that apart from the surgery being extremely invasive, having a long recovery period and not always being successful, it was also horrendously expensive. Immediately I felt despondent and fragile and reached for my comfort blanket-chocolate. So, chocolate bar in hand, I continued to Google gastric band surgery feeling more and more desperate and this was how I literally stumbled across Hypno-Band therapy and hence Mark Mansfield. With renewed vigour, my research began again, reading as many reviews of Mark Mansfield and Hypno-Band therapy as I could (this being the reason my review is extensive, in the hope that people considering contacting Mark will find it beneficial and enlightening). After much deliberation, I decided to contact Mark. During our initial telephone conversation, Mark asked me lots of questions and then listened carefully to my answers, immediately showing a genuine interest in me as an individual. Following a lengthy conversation, we arranged to meet for the first session the following week. Although initially anxious, within just a short while of meeting and talking with Mark, I was very relaxed and comfortable and began speaking freely regarding issues surrounding my eating patterns and weight. Mark has a very calm and relaxed demeanor, which instantaneously makes you feel at ease. During this first session, I never once felt judged or ridiculed and Mark explained in detail the Hypno-Band therapy process and what would ensue in the forthcoming sessions. I left this session feeling hopeful for the first time in many years that this might actually work. Mark had provided me with a pack of information to read, a CD to listen to at home in order to reinforce the first hypnotherapy session and most importantly, the tools to begin changing my eating habits. I immediately began to follow his advice and listened to the CD (which I downloaded onto my iPhone) as often as I could. My next session with Mark was two weeks later. Following Mark's advice I did not weigh myself until the morning of my second appointment. I can honestly say that I didn't feel as though I had lost any weight and stepped onto the scales with much trepidation. The moment of truth - I stepped onto the scales and then got off again, picked the scales up and moved them and then got on again. I actually did this three or four times before staring unbelievably at the display that indicated I had lost 9lb! Quite bizarrely, I did not feel particularly happy by my loss of weight (Mark was actually happier than I was!), I don't think I believed it and thought it was just an anomaly and would probably do what I normally did when on a diet-celebrated my loss and then consequently put weight on the following week. However, this was not the case. During the following weeks and sessions with Mark, I continued to lose weight. Some weeks more than others, but I was still losing not gaining weight. Mark was extremely insightful, kind and patient during these sessions, especially when life threw in a couple of fairly traumatic events to deal with too. Mark helped me to identify various aspects of my life that need to change in order to avoid my usual chocolate comfort eating, which as Mark states, makes the problem worse not better. OK, so where am I now. I have had my Hypno-Band fitted and have completed my sessions with Mark. At present, I have lost two stone of the five that I want to lose. I am most definitely not on a diet, but have changed what and why I eat. Not everyday is easy, but I think about what Mark has taught me, often hearing his voice in my head when I am tempted to eat for the wrong reasons (this is a little weird at times, but also strangely comforting!). I am becoming more confident and feel more and more positive with each day that passes. I am addressing the areas of my life that require attention and dealing with those that make me unhappy. I most certainly could not have started this journey, which is now so much more than just losing weight without Mark's support and sagaciousness. Mark is a truly genuine professional who has immensely enriched my life in such a short space of time. Thank you just isn't enough.Moreexpand_more

Mark is a great bloke, so down to earth, that put me at ease straight away. I went for the hypnoband. Its been ten weeks and I've lost 21lbs. To most people that are desperate to lose weight, that might not seem much, let's be honest, we all want to lose 4,5,6, or even 7 lbs a week! We are so impatient and fed up, we starve, dont lose the weight that we want, then we binge to cheer ourselves up only to be wracked with guilt and sadness because we've spoilt yet ANOTHER diet! Or, lose a stack of weight only to put it all and more back on again! Sound familiar? Well, that's my life story. I wanted to change my eating habits, I didn't want to follow a diet, I wanted to cook the same meals for all the family not single myself out and eat differently. Noww we all eat the same, only my portions are a lot smaller, before, I was able to eat chocolate by the ton! I didn't touch chocolate for the first six weeks as I had no craving at all for it, now I've probably only eaten approx 4 small cubes in 10 weeks, I can honestly take it or leave it. I don't obsess about food anymore, and I'm happy to say that I am still losing a pound a week. I'm not dieting, starving or counting cals, points etc…. L am leading a ,"normal" life, now that's exactly what l wanted, not to spend the rest of my life being dominated by food. Mark will be there for you all the way, a no nonsence approach and he will make you feel at ease. Thanks Mark for everything. ?Moreexpand_more

I have recently completed the Hypno band therapy with Mark and from the very first session felt on track to lose weight and supported all the way by Mark. In addition to the actual hypnotherapy he offered really useful suggestions. I now feel able to continue with my weight loss (current loss from start of therapy = 2 stone) on my own and have a new outlook and response to food. Lifestyle change rather than a diet.

I sought Mark's help to quit smoking. When I left his treatment room, I was thinking to myself "What have I done ? I have just spent two hours in there, and don't feel any different to when I walked in"But…d'you know what ? I haven't smoked since. Update 24/09/2015 It's now been well over a year since I visited Mark. I have not once felt the need for a cigarette, no cravings, I am just so much better off for not smoking, financially & healthwise. Update 3/07/2017 Three years gone, not even tempted to have a cigarette. Some magic went on here…!

I saw Mark for IBS which was caused by anxiety. I always felt completely at ease with Mark and I miss my sessions with him just because he is a really nice guy. I learnt an awful lot about myself when I was having sessions with Mark and he has the ability to draw out information unobtrusively. He really helped me put everything into perspective. He always went away and thought alot about what you told him week to week and would then tweek what he was going to do in that session when we had discussed what would both thought would be best. Also getting CD's with sessions on to take home are a fabulous idea and very helpful. Mark is a really lovely man who is really good at his job. He made me feel compeltely relaxed from the moment I first met him at my consultation. I always looked forward to seeing Mark as the therapy I received has been extremely helpful. I have not suffered from IBS now since I stopped seeing him. Highly recommended!Moreexpand_more

I have lost well over 2 stone, and am feeling great. It's a really simple process and CD's also help back up the sessions. Mark is able to identify what your triggers are, help you understand them and implement an easy programme that sees the weight fall off- forever!

I have had 6 sessions with Mark, which have transformed my life. His sessions not only give you valuable advice and food for thought but you are given a cd or digital copy of the hypnotherapy session for you to continue your therapy at home to ensure you progress and you get the results you want. Mark has an exceptionally professional approach and designs a tailor made program to ensure you reach your goal. A journey of which you are truely supported throughout.

Great weightless system- really easy, not painful and works. I had a few sessions and even after the first session the weight started coming off. Mark got to the cause of over eating and summed it up when he said "Eating does not make you happy. When you eat too much you put on weight and that makes you unhappy. " Mark really puts you at ease, is to the point and does not fluff around, he gets the job done and you feel great about it.

Mark has the ability to make you feel relaxed and at ease. He teaches you to think differently, accept you cannot change what has happened and embrace the future. Totally changed my outlook on life.

Thankyou, for all your professional help. I would strongly recommend you to any one that would need help in any type of Hypnotherapy.

After suffering a particularly nasty panic attack (and not for the first time), I was recommended Mark by one of his previous clients, after it coming up in conversation. I put it to the back of mind, assuming that I would 'fix' myself, as i'd always done. I was prescribed anti depressants by my doctor, which disagreed with me completely and I suffered every possible side effect. After 5 days I went back to the doctor and was told 'there is nothing more I can do for you'. 4 days later I began to feel another attack coming on. Knowing I had Marks number, I made the decision there and then that would turn out to change my life, and I called him. He was so understanding yet not in the least bit patronising. After speaking to him for around 25 mins I made an appointment, and he even gave me some advice to calm myself down. I felt instantly at ease with Mark, and ended up looking forward to our sessions. I have always been an over thinker and worried what people thought of me, which has made me ill over the years. Including being hospitalised twice with stomach ulcers at the age of 23 and again at 25. Mark has given me the tools in needed to trust and believe in myself and my abilities. He has helped me understand that I cant control what goes on around me but I can certainly control how these things make me feel. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted, a weight I knew was there but never knew how to deal with. I honestly cant thank Mark enough.Moreexpand_more
