A sample of testimonials:
April - Severe Dental Phobia Good Morning Mark, I can't believe Ive just come out of the dentist smiling with pride, amazement and relief. I stayed still "watching the billboards helping me breathe, it was done in 20 minutes, world record for me. You are a true magician, thank you so much.
Sally - Smoking and Stress I have sought help from Mark for a range of personal challenges including stopping smoking and a stressful event preventing me from moving on with my life. The sessions are always enlightening and the results are life-changing. I no longer smoke and my career has progressed significantly. It is great to know that when life presents further challenges, I now have the tools to manage them in a calm and controlled way. Mark's approach, manner and expertise is exceptional
Matilda - Anxiety
Thank you so much for your help, I came to see Mark with severe anxiety and I am now back to my normal happy self! It has changed my life, so thank you again.
Kay - Children, Anxiety & Trauma Ollie has hugely improved. He is able to go out the house to school now without anxiety. He listens to the recording you did for him which also gives him peace of mind and reassurance that he is ok
Michelle - Anxiety & Trauma Resolution
You have helped me to get my independence back, I was stuck in such a small circle of area and was becoming depressed! After hypnotherapy, EMDR and someone to talk to I gained confidence again and I am now recovered, going to new places with the help of techniques and relaxation CDs I was given. Couldn't thank you enough.
Sarah - Fear of Flying
I had treatment for my fear of flying. I used to hyperventilate when flying but after seeing Mark for hypnotherapy I now actually enjoy flying and can book holidays and look forward to them free from my old fear.
Katie - Fear of Needles and Hospitals
I went to Mark with a fear of anything medical, most of all having an injection. My therapy was in a nice, quiet space and wasnt rushed, Without my therapy I wouldnt have been able to move on and have medical help if needed or gone on to have my 2 little boys.
Lorraine - Performance
Hi Mark, its Lorraine, just a quick text to let you know I played really well at Butlins and enjoyed it. I really did feel calm before and during, just a little bit of an edge, all went great, thank you, we got a medal and I now feel fantastic. Without your help I wouldve backed out (Cornet Player, Brass Band)
George - Children, Exam Anxiety
A huge thanks for helping Alex with his nerves about 11+ exam. He passed it with flying colours. He slept like a log night before and came out smiling afterwards
Jan - Child, Seperation Anxiety
I would like to let you know India has been away on a school trip for two nights, she had a fantastic time, I'm so proud of her and she is also in her own bed all night every night, we still have occasional wobbles but words can't describe how grateful and happy I am to you
Teresa - Driving Test Anxiety Hi Mark, I have finally overcome my nerves to pass my driving test this morning thanks to your support and MP3
Chris - Smoking Cessation I couldn't believe it. used to smoke 40 a day and now have been smoke free for 6 months. I had one session which lasted about 2 hours and came out a non-smoker. Amazing! Thank you so much Mark
Rachel - Children's Anxiety and Exams A friend recommended Mark. He has been absolutely fantastic in aiding both my children with anxiety issues as well as offering significant support around 11+. Also, the strategies he taught supported us all and continue to do so. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone else
Zoey (and Danny the horse)- PTSD I had a bad riding accident about 12 years ago. Ever since that day I have struggled. Every time I got in the saddle the fear would come back. I just couldn't get over the accident. After seeing Mark a few times, I got straight on the horse and the fear had all gone. Im now riding like I was before.
