Stuart Downing DMH CPNLP DHyd

Life coach highly recommended-gets you back on track.

Really great service from a master hypnotherapist. He succeeded in bringing about the desired outcome in only four hours' work and I will be back to deal with further issues.

Couldn't have asked for anything different from Stuart. Having already had talking therapy previously I found Stuart's approach fresh and efficient. He doesn't waste time, he treats you individually and tailors his expertise to what's relevant to you (no one size fits all approach). Stuart helped me identify areas I was struggling with, deeper than I realised, and confront them in a short space of time. It lifted a load that I didn't even think I could ever lift. He knows what he's doing so you just have to trust him, he won't end your sessions when it suits him to leave you hanging, he ends it with something useful for you to go away with, timing it well enough to be a tactful session for you! His techniques were new to me, but are widely practiced, and he does them well. Stuart helped confront my pain and fears that were holding me back from moving forward, which ultimately made a big difference to my attitude towards to life. I will probably continue to see Stuart as long as he practices, sort of like an MOT for my soul.Moreexpand_more

Stuart has been instrumental to my increased well being overall. Being relatively recently diagnosed with BPD and feeling utterly devastated by the result as well as coming up against many therapists who don’t want to treat anyone with BPD, I found Stuart via facebook and contacted him. I have seen him now for maybe nearly a year and the improvement has been noticeable and huge. His wealth of knowledge and skills as well as his balanced, fair and empathetic stance, have set me in good stead and have enabled me to start tackling some of the most disabling and distressing aspects of this disorder. Stuart is always there and always supportive no matter what, whilst maintaining a healthy distance between therapist and client, which is needed and respected. I feel very comfortable being ‘me’ without feeling awkward or judged. This journey is not a quick nor easy one but tacking it with Stuart has made it less overwhelming and I feel less of a bad person with hope I am getting better. Some issues I had have gone almost entirely allowing the root challenges to be worked on with more focus. I highly recommend Stuart to anyone and I feel exceptionally lucky to have found him. .Moreexpand_more

Stuart was very caring and very interested in helping me. He gave me some positive insights into my issues. Stuart also gave me some very helpful tools to deal with my Anxiety and Depresssion.

I would highly recommend visiting Stuart, I had been going through a very hard time dealing with anxiety and other issues in my life. I found Stuart very understanding and easy to talk to. He showed me techniques/tools to do when ever I felt I was not coping with everyday life or situations I was not comfortable in. So glad I took the plunge and contacted Stuart.

Stuart is very gifted at his work. I have never come accross a phycologist who is so easy to talk to and who is able to get to the root of the issue in question so directly and swiftly. Stuart has given me tools I now use on a daily basis which help me to view life with more clarity and less anxiety. I would recommend him to anybody who is seeking professional help in regards to their mental health and the general concerns and pressures life presents us with that can soon spiral out of control. Stuart has mastered the art of translating personalised methods of mindfulness one can use to combat daily struggles in order to live a full and happy life.
