Dr Iain is one of the best out there. He provides a safe space to open up about any issues with no judgements at all. At the same time, he is considerate and caring. He helped me navigate certain things in my life when I was feeling lost and was in need of direction. Booking a session with him was one of the best choices I've made for my self-investment!
I attended two sessions and had a minor issue initially, but it was dealt with very quickly and professionally. Everything was sorted without any fuss. Thank you for your help β I would highly recommend. π«Άπ»
I had a few sessions with Iain on my self esteem and positivity. Iain was very patient and the sessions were extremely successful. There was no pressure to have any more sessions just an open invitation, I would recommend anyone to go and see Iain such a great guy.
Iβve had a couple of sessions with Iain for a fear of flying & the experience has been great. Made to feel very comfortable with everything explained throughout. The barriers & fears I had previously have been broken down & a recent flight was a huge success. My outlook towards flying has changed in such a short period of time & itβs highly liberating. Cant thank Iain enough for his help & would recommend without hesitation.
For a number of personal reasons I needed to reset my relationship with food. So I approached Iain for help. Over 2 months and a few sessions I have lost a stone and a half, I'm feeling positive about. More importantly Iain helped and supported me through the process where I'm now preparing smaller portions for each meal. My life view is more positive. I would highly recommend Iain because when you walk of his office I felt wonderful.
I canβt thank you enough for the incredible transformation Iβve experienced since our session! Iβm amazed at how much control I have over my cravings nowβI havenβt had sugar since we met, and I feel lighter, more free, and in control of my life. Over the past two weeks, even with many temptations, saying no has been effortless. My skin has improved, my sleep is better, and I donβt even crave sugar after meals anymore. A handful of nuts is all I need! Iβve been telling everyone about our session, and how it felt like life therapy. Youβve truly helped me change patterns Iβve struggled with for years in just two hours. If I ever start to slip, Iβll definitely book another session with you. Thank you again for making me feel so free. Youβre amazing at what you do! P.S. If you were around a few centuries ago, they probably wouldβve thought you were a witch, because I donβt know how you did itβbut Iβm so grateful you did! Take care and I look forward to seeing you again when needed. x
I went to Dr. Iain for help with a severe fear of flying. I hadnβt flown for over 15 years following a particularly bad flying experience. Hypnotherapy was my last ditch attempt of helping before I cancelled a flight to watch my daughter compete internationally. Dr Iain was able to see me a week prior to my booked flight. The session immediately helped curb that feeling of impending doom in the pit of my stomach. I slept well for the week prior to the flight and the morning of the flight I was unusually calm. I checked in at the airport with no anxiety, no tears and no panic. During take off I listened to an audio hypnotherapy session which I purchased via the website, and before I knew it I was in the air. I had a little more anxiety before the flight home as I knew a storm was coming over at the time we were due to land, but the second I entered the airport I was calm. I canβt quite explain it. I even had something to eat and used the loo on the plane which i have never managed to do! The landing was challenging even for seasoned flyers but I imagined I was a bird and the turbulence was there to remind me of the strength of the air supporting me. I would highly recommend hypnotherapy for fears and phobias. I am so glad I took the door on the right and was able to watch my daughter win her gold medal in Portugal. Taking the left door was not an option. Caroline
I had the most amazing past life regression experience with Iain, which I honestly feel has changed my life. Iain is a warm and wise soul who instantly put me at ease, I felt like I was talking to an old friend who I hadn't seen in years. This experience means so much to me and I couldn't have asked for anyone better to guide me through it. I will definitely be back! Thank you so much.
I had never considered hypnotherapy before but I contacted Iain very last minute to see if he could help with exam anxiety.I felt like I was clutching at straws but knew I needed to do something different this time! I am an adult learner and It appeared that I had a huge emotional attachment to exam anxiety. I wasnβt sure if it would help but it really did! I felt in control throughout the whole process of hypnotherapy and felt so much lighter in my body after the session. my partner has commented on how he noticed a difference in me. I went into the exam with nerves and adrenaline (which is normal) but not with huge anxiety as I had experienced previously. Iain is a very kind and even called to see how the exam went! I would very much recommend this service. Huge thank you Iain, I feel like I have regained my confidence thank you for your help in helping me to see my own potential.
I can't thank Dr. Iain enough for the difference heβs made in my life. In just a short time, I noticed a remarkable boost in my confidence and a greater sense of self-assurance. Dr. Iain truly understood meβhe took the time to listen deeply and thoughtfully, making each session feel uniquely tailored to my needs. His dedication and genuine care for his clients are so evident, and itβs clear that he goes above and beyond to support their journeys. Iβm incredibly grateful to have found such an understanding and skilled hypnotherapist. Thank you, Dr. Iain! I look forward to continuing our work together. Thank you.
