Before I started working with Stuart, I had just moved into a completely new professional environment after almost 30 years in the same establishment. I had underestimated the impact this change would have on me, and it coincided with several personal challenges. I suddenly felt as though everything in my life was unfamiliar, unstable and uncertain. A family member who had been working with Stuart recommended him and arranged my first appointment. At that point, I was extremely emotional and found it difficult to communicate clearly. From the very first session, Stuart’s skills, patience, calmness and ability to listen made an immediate difference. Through talking and hypnotherapy Stuart helped me feel grounded, understood and safe enough to engage. By the end of that initial session, I felt clearer, calmer and confident about the steps I needed to take to move forward. It was the first time I realised that even in unfamiliar environments, I was still in control of my feelings, my impact and my choices. Over the past 12 months, our sessions have continued to be transformative. I have learnt so much about myself, including the fact that I am an empath and Stuart has given me invaluable tools to protect my emotional wellbeing, especially in demanding professional situations. He has helped me develop practical, effective ways to consider, analyse and respond to challenges in both my personal and professional life. These insights and strategies will stay with me for life. They have strengthened my confidence, improved my resilience and given me a deeper understanding of who I am and how I operate. I know they will continue to guide me in every future situation I face. I am eternally grateful to Stuart for his knowledge, skills, kindness, care, loyalty and professionalism. Working with him has genuinely changed my life for the better. I cannot recommend him highly enough, if you are considering working with Stuart, do not hesitate. He will make a meaningful difference to your present and future.
Stuart was great, I found the session to be relaxing and effective. One of my friends recommended his service. I was definitely dubious of hypnotherapy as a modality. It definitely works and I have seen good results in a short space of time. Stuart's customer service was second to none, as I felt comfortable throughout the session and I could tell he was well versed in his craft. I will continue to use the service and I would definitely recommend to others.
I can't thank Stuart Downing enough for helping me regulate my anxiety and fears. I always feel better after every session, and my nervous system calms down. He also gave me tools to practice on my own, which are really helpful daily.
Living with chemo-induced tinnitus has been one of the most intrusive and distressing parts of my recovery. The constant noise was overwhelming and often triggered feelings of panic and doom. I tried everything — white noise, sound therapy, acupuncture but nothing brought relief. As a last resort, I found Stuart through a Google search. After reading his reviews, something just felt right. From the very first contact, he was professional, knowledgeable, calm, and incredibly kind. Even though I was sceptical, I felt reassured and safe in his hands. The session was done virtually, which meant I could be in my own home and that made a huge difference. I felt deeply relaxed, comfortable, and fully supported throughout the process. While I can still hear my tinnitus, the change has been remarkable. It no longer controls me. The fear, panic, and sense of doom that used to come with it have lifted. I feel calmer, more grounded, and able to live my life again without constantly being on edge. I honestly didn’t expect this outcome, and I’m so grateful I took the leap. Stuart has helped me in a way nothing else could, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone struggling with tinnitus or anxiety linked to it.
I had four hypnotherapy sessions based on helping me overcome fears in my mind and intrusive thoughts. Through the sessions I was helped turned my mind from negative to positive. Intrusive thoughts have become positive thoughts helping me switch off at night getting a better night's rest. I would highly recommend the treatment.
Cannot thank Stuart enough after helping me quit smoking after 40 years, I now hate the smell of smoke & would never touch another one. Stuart also stopped me from vaping too I cannot believe I dont smoke or vape anymore. Helped with my anxiety, taught me a way how to handle anxiety when it kicks in using a technique 👌 Thanks again Stuart ....I've been given a new lease of life & hopefully live longer able to breath better as i do have COPD. Have passed your details on to others if it worked for me it will definitely work for them.
I can’t recommend Stuart Downing highly enough. From the very first session, he made me feel completely at ease with his calm, professional and understanding approach. His hypnotherapy sessions are incredibly relaxing yet powerful, and I noticed real, positive changes much sooner than I expected. Stuart takes the time to truly listen and tailor each session to your individual needs. He explains everything clearly, which really helped build my confidence in the process. His support and encouragement throughout have been amazing. If you’re considering hypnotherapy for anxiety, confidence, habits or any personal challenge, Stuart is absolutely the person to see. A genuinely caring and highly skilled hypnotherapist – 5 stars all the way!
My name is Neil, and I have just finished a course of hypnotherapy sessions with Stuart. My problem was trouble sleeping due to some previous noisy neighbours, and the anxiety that it caused around trying to sleep which led to Insomnia as I just couldnt relax or switch off. What can I say? Well, after just a couple of sessions, I had noticed a vast improvement in my sleep. I suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and as a result was able to sleep longer and deeper and wake up feeling totally refreshed as a result. Stuart is really good at what he does, and really understands whatever problem is bothering you and works with you to tackle it head on which leads to the problem being completely resolved. I would definitely recommend Stuart Downing to anyone who is considering trying hypnotherapy for whatever problem or issue they may be experiencing , as he is friendly, understanding and puts you at complete ease.
