I’m so glad I got Dan’s help
I suffered from anxiety with appointments to either the doctors, opticians or work meetings. With the help of Dan over that past three months i have managed to calm my nerves about meetings and even successfully attend a opticians appointment. I think the quote "life is to short to worry" sums it up and I'm so glad I got Dan's help. I would recommend to everyone!

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dan
After some huge life changes in my fifties, I developed quite severe anxiety over the past year. This caught me by surprise as previously I had been able to cope fine during difficult times, this in itself made my anxiety worse as I now also became anxious about why I was so anxious.
I tried medication and counselling with no real results, the medication made me feel ill and although the counselling helped a little it did not teach me any useful skills to break the cycle of daily anxiety.
Dan taught me useful relaxation skills and techniques to use in my everyday activities. These have helped me cope with those days that are more challenging than others whilst I continually work to adapt to the changes happening in my life and that of my family.
Dan is very kind and understanding and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

Dan helped me more than I thought could be possible
I contacted Dan after having a panic attack at work, which me resulted in leaving work at my new job and being unpaid for over 2 weeks - not a great start! I needed some drastic help as my anxiety had been building up and getting increasingly unmanageable. I had tried the doctors and medication to calm me down but nothing seamed to stop my emotions from flooding out and becoming out of control.
Before I contacted Dan, I was so highly strung and emotional I would cry over anything. I was so angry and had mood swings; lashing out at my partner and family. Work was just unbearable. I work in a call centre, any time I had a difficult call, I would cry and have to have meetings with my boss - about the fact I was on probation and if I kept acting like this I was unlikely to pass it. My anxiety then worsened because I become scared of getting a call that would make me cry and the repercussions of it. It then just become a vicious circle of being anxious about stuff that hadn't actually happened yet.
I chose 6 sessions with Dan, and can safely say they have worked. I am back at work, I no longer feel sick, I no longer shake, I no longer get this feeling that I just need to escape and get out. I no longer get worried about difficult calls, and when I do get them I deal with them I have a new found confidence and can deal with them. I don't remember the last time I cried at work. I learnt alot of little techniques to help me over come things, like that churning feeling in your stomach or that voice in your head that tells you that you cant do it and to just escape.
Aside from my anxiety I have also gained confidence outside of work, I signed up for a University course that I kept looking at for over 2 years but never that the confidence to just go for it. I cant thank Dan enough. He helped me more than I thought could be possible.

My sleeping has dramatically improved
I went to see Dan as I had been suffering from severe anxiety for several years. It was manifesting itself in panic attacks /nightmares which woke me up and prevented me from getting back to sleep.
After 3 sessions with Dan my sleeping has dramatically improved and the anxiety has been reduced to a state where I can manage it effectively with the skills that Dan has taught me. This has helped me break the hold that anxiety had over me and I have confidence in getting a good nights sleep again. Thanks for your help Dan.

My anxiety can no longer feed off me
Dan has helped me conquer a very difficult situation. My anxiety had spiralled out of control to the point where it was severely impacting my day to day life, hurting me & my loved ones and sucking me in deeper. I thought there was no way out.
I can't recommend Dan's services highly enough. My outlook on life has changed for the better; my confidence is high, I have a new career & my anxiety can no longer feed off me. Dan's passion for his work is evident when you meet him. He cares & understands, & he will help you for the better. I can't thank him enough.

I haven’t had any signs of my anxiety returning
I first visited Dan earlier this year after my anxiety had got to an unbearable level. Having suffered with it for ten years (on and off) and six months ago finding myself in a situation that resulted in my anxiety levels hitting an all time high where I found I was unable to function as I normally would, I found Dan online!
I arranged my first of six sessions and haven't looked back since. As most of us are I was sceptical on exactly what hypnotherapy was all about but open minded and willing to give anything a go! Since my last session, I haven't had any signs of my anxiety returning and am sleeping better than I ever have. If you suffering in any way give Dan a call/email, you won't be disappointed!!!

A confident driver again and a happier person!
After suffering with anxiety and panic attacks for several years when driving on dual carriageways and starting to experience the same when sitting in traffic I realised this could not go on and I had to do something about it.
I first found out about Dan through the local village booklet and decided to arrange an initial consultation and go from there. I'm so glad I did. At first I wasn't sure about hypnotherapy but after a couple of sessions with Dan, I noticed that I was looking at driving in a completely different way. I was seeing it as a good thing and not something to be afraid of.
Dan taught me that there was nothing to fear and took me back to the days when driving was a joy. With some further sessions and coping techniques, them days are here again and I love driving. There is no anxiety whilst sitting in traffic and when I first went on the dual carriageway (which was a big thing for me!) nothing happened, no panic no fear nothing except I realised I was driving and I enjoyed it. I cannot thank Dan enough for getting me back to be a confident driver again and a happier person thank you!

My sessions were life changing
I visited Dan after enduring a 2 month period of being unable to sleep properly.
What started out as simply feeling restless for a couple of nights quickly turned into a vicious cycle where I would lay awake hour after hour worrying that I hadn’t gone to sleep, with an exhausted body, but an alert mind. The more I didn’t sleep, the more anxious I got, and the more anxious I got, the more I didn’t sleep! Heart palpitations, tingling sensations in my feet and hands, erratic breathing and periods of hysteria dominated most nights, and needless to say my partner suffered equally because of this.
Having been prescribed sleeping tablets by my doctor, which I started to feel dependant on, I decided that I needed to get long term help rather than a short term fix.
After my first session with Dan, the first change I noticed was that I came out actually looking forward to going to sleep that night! A feeling that I hadn't had for nearly 2 months.
I also noticed an immediate shift in my mind set; no longer was I spending every afternoon/evening counting the hours until I was going to bed, convincing myself that I would be unable to sleep, and picturing myself fretting all night. Instead, I imagined myself going to bed relaxed and calm, and felt positive that I was going to have a good, restful night’s sleep. And from that moment on, I did!
Most noticeably, I felt in control of my mind, and consequently realised that I had allowed my mind to control me for nearly 2 months. Dan talked me through techniques to help deal with my feelings and thoughts, and gave me hints and tips to help me sleep (even as simple as not having a TV in the bedroom).
I visited Dan for one more session, during which he helped me overcome any last traces of anxiety I had regarding sleeping, and I have felt no need to return for any further sessions.
I can honestly say that my two sessions with Dan were life-changing. I was becoming very low due to my constant lack of sleep, and it was having a severe knock-on effect on my life, however Dan enabled me to get a grip on the problem and overcome it. I can’t quite put my finger on how he did it, but he did, and for that, I will be forever grateful.

Nervous Tick Disappeared
Developed a nervous tick having suffered with anxiety for years. The doctor suggested I try hypnotherapy. Dan helped by teaching me various coping skills and helped me to get everything under control. My nervous tick and anxiety have all but disappeared.
