About The Excel Practice


The Excel Practice, based in Reading (Berkshire) and Didcot and Benson (Oxfordshire), offers hypnotherapy, life coaching, NLP, weight-loss programmes and stop-smoking programmes to clients across Berkshire and Oxfordshire. Founded in 2007, I have over 16 years of experience in hypnotherapy and life coaching, and over 20 years working in therapeutic and caring professions.

The Excel Practice supports a growing client base in and around Reading (Berkshire), as well as Didcot and the Wallingford areas. Clients come from all walks of life and all age groups, including members of the general public, local businesses, sporting organisations and performance communities.

With comfortable therapy rooms and a qualified practitioner, The Excel Practice offers professional support to individuals seeking real change. Sessions are designed to be calm, supportive and effective, helping clients to stop smoking, lose weight and address issues such as phobias, depression, anxiety, stress and insomnia. There are many areas I can help with - so please do ask.

The Excel Practice offers an integrative approach to therapy, combining cognitive hypnotherapy, CBT-informed techniques, life coaching, positive psychology, EFT and NLP. Cognitive hypnotherapy is highly adaptable, allowing techniques to be tailored to each individual for quick and effective results. These services are currently available in Reading, Wallingford and Didcot in South Oxfordshire.

The practice is managed exclusively by Matthew Exell, who has worked in the hypnotherapy field for over 13 years. Before establishing The Excel Practice, Matthew worked for Berkshire Mental Health Trust within a specialist alcohol and drug treatment team, and has spent over 25 years working directly with people facing psychological, emotional and mental health challenges. This depth of experience allows him to support clients safely, professionally and effectively.

I found Matthew to be extremely professional and my treatment certainly helped me. I would definitely recommend him.

It was with many misgivings that I made the decision to check into hypnotherapy. It's not the traditional route that people take but when just going to a counselor wasn't working, I made the big and extremely important (although I would not realise until later how important) decision, to see what a hypnotherapist would/could do for me. I had all the common misconceptions we see on comedy programmes, i. E. At a snap of the fingers, can make you bark like a dog. That idea is about as realistic as a giant bunny delivering baskets of chocolates on Easter to children. What I found what a confident, very reassuring professional who put me at ease immediately. A consummate professional, we small-talked briefly to calm my nerves and then before I realized it, I felt total relaxation and calm. It is virtually impossible to explain to someone who has never been to a decent hypnotherapist what it means to be hypnotized. It would be like trying to explain calculus to a hamster. You can't do it. I was extremely aware of where I was, I could hear Mr. Exell mere feet from me, but I was really a million miles away. I felt euphoric. His words, calm, soothing words, were burning into my brain. I did not go to Mr. Exell for weight loss, smoking, alcohol use or anything like that. I went for a much more severe problem, one that I had resigned to thinking I would have to bear the rest of my life. I don't need to share my problems, we all have our own burdens, but I left his office that day feeling better than I had in many a month. I am now seeing Mr. Exell once a week for NLP treatment and it has greatly improved my communication/interaction skills with others. I feel my job performance and relationships with others have improved as a results of my time with Mr. Exell and the excellent care he has provided me with.Moreexpand_more

Since I came and saw you I've lost a total of 17 pounds and I feel great I have a lot of energy and would recommend this program to anyone. I’ve started swimming again and running and my kids love the fact I’m able to do more larking around at the park. In the past I tried many times to lose weight and it all failed (some worked for a while but failed me). But thank you Matt, you came through for me so thank you so much and thank you again and again. I’m looking forward now to summer, summer holidays, better weather, (less rain and miserable cold weather), being more agile and flexible and fun to be around and dropping more dress sizes. This has worked for me and I really do think that if you want it work for you and you really must be willing to put work in yourself then it will work for you, it is a life decision and you need to put yourself to it, but please do.

It's been 14 weeks now during which time I've had no chocolate at all and lost a stone in weight. I walk through supermarkets now and see chocolate and sweets and it could be any other product. I don't feel the emotional attachment to sweets or chocolate that I once felt. My energy levels are better, my sleep is better. I have no idea how it works - but it does. Whatever it is you're looking for help with - food issues, weight loss, anxiety or sleep problems - it's definitely worth giving it a try.

Hi Matt, I wanted to say thank you once again for helping me to stop smoking. I am smoke free now for the better part of 8 weeks. I try not to think about not being a smoker now. Actually I don't think about it hardly at all, I just don't smoke anymore. It just worked. I will gladly send anyone I know who has smoked or other issues down to you. In any case I am grateful to you for your work with me and my success in my smoking issue. Josh.
