Testimonials.

All the testimonials on this website are genuine.

As a member of the IAPH I have to be able to prove their authenticity.

The names of the clients have being removed for confidentiality. These are just some of the testimonials that I have received over the last 10 years.

 

It’s rare to meet a person who changes your life forever and for the better. You have changed my life...and for the better and for that i’m ever so grateful.


I thought all my problems were because I was overweight, not the other way round and I was focused purely on losing weight when I first came to see you. Looking back I can’t believe how I put my whole life on hold and blamed my weight.


Thank you for helping me face my demons without judgement. You made the process of my healing easy Rob. You have a very special gift...and you made me laugh too!


You were my last hope. I came to you expecting you to make me thin. Instead you made me happy which far exceeded my expectations.
I lost 3lb last week, am still feeling great.....

Dear Rob


It is with great pleasure that I write a few words in the form of a Testimonial for you.


I first met you 6 or 7 years ago. My eldest son had been ill and had to take some extremely dangerous medication. Blood tests were required. Neither our GP, his nursing staff, Lincoln Hospital could persuade my son to allow them to inject and take blood. He had an aversion to needles. One of the nurses advised us that she had heard of your work and as a last resort it might be worth trying. Either way my son had to have the test and the medication or his problem could have been life threatening.
After one session with a little trepidation he had the tests. Without your therapy and counselling this would not have been possible.

A while after, my youngest son, who had been bullied at school, had anger management problems. Again after one or two sessions he was able to overcome and control his problems.

Late 2009 and to date little did I believe that I two would seek your help. Forced to re-qualify for my career, I had a mountain of an examination to pass. Your therapy assisted me greatly in the belief that the goal was achievable.
We started our journey with you 7 years or so ago not knowing what to expect and full of scepticism. How wrong we were and we have no hesitation in recommending your services to anyone who like us 7 years ago were facing despair

Many thanks

Hi Rob

I would like to place on record my sincere thanks to you Rob for the therapy
you have provided over the past 3 or 4 months. When I came to you I felt at
a loss as to how to deal with and ultimately overcome my stress and anxiety,
after all, it is not something most people understand unless they have
suffered it themselves. No disrespect, but the health service works at it's
own pace and time delay only exacerbates the problem.

As you know, at the outset I was unfamiliar with hypnosis as a means to deal
with anxiety and stress. However, from the first therapy session I felt you
gave me a confidence to deal with the problem and I also started to
understand more about my symptoms and how to try and control them. Over the
weeks my confidence and understanding gradually increased and your personal
approach, dealing with me as an individual, directing your therapy at my
personal problems was, in my opinion, the basis for this. I consider that
the therapy you were able to provide and techniques you used accelerated an
improvement in my condition thereby enabling me to return to work much
sooner than otherwise might have been the case. I continue to use what you
have taught me and it does give peace of mind when there is a problem to
overcome. I would certainly recommend you and your methods of therapy (the
two combined since I am aware that not all hypnotists are sufficiently
qualified or knowledgeable to provide it) to any person who is suffering
from any form of stress. It certainly helped me and I am sure it would aid
others particularly those who may feel like I did, alone, not understanding
what was happening to me and not knowing who to turn to.


Kind regards, xxxx

 

Hi Rob

 

I thought I’d drop you a note this Monday – first time in weeks that I haven’t been coming to a session!

 

For a website testimonial, I’d like to say that I found the time richly rewarding and  helpful. I feel connected to that  part of my history for the first time in my life, 50 years on. I feel in control of the smoking and eating issues now, with both emotional understanding and release coming into play. And  I really enjoyed working with you personally because you combine a clear professional approach with a warm and homely style, which I found very reassuring.

 

So thanks for all this- so far it all feels great, and I know where to find you if I find I wobble! I’m just in the process of recommending you and IAPH to a colleague.

 

Best wishes

I went to see Rob when I’d reached the point where I was so desperate that I couldn’t function at work or at home. I was having panic attacks and was so anxious all I wanted to do was cry. I’d spent over ten years suffering from clinical depression and been through 6 different counsellors in that time, hoping that somehow I would get better. Also I’ve suffered from IBS for most of my life and it had been getting worse and worse.

I ended up making an appointment to see Rob just desperate for help of any sort. Rob has been the only person that has been able to help me. Initially I had some suggestion therapy to help me function day to day. Then I started a period of hypnoanalysis which changed my life. Rob was extremely patient, caring, compassionate and more importantly empathetic.

It was hard work as I was dealing with issues I found hard to speak about. But in the days following each session I would find myself feeling a little better.  It was an imperceptible change yet enough to know that continuing with the hypnoanalysis was going to be worth all the pain.

Having finished my treatment it feels like Rob has helped me flick a switch within my head which has stopped me being the anxious, worrying, unconfident person that I was. I have learnt to understand why I was like I was and dealt with the issues and learnt to feel differently about them. My IBS has also improved so I’m hardly troubled by it at all.

I’ll be forever grateful to Rob, he has done more than anyone else I have ever met to help me change my life. Now I’m looking to the future full of hope and positivity and feeling ‘normal’ for the first time in my life.

Thank you ever so much Rob.

 

I would like to say Thanks to  Rob for the help & support I received over the past few months. I was referred to Rob after I had gone as far as I could with my previous hypnotherapist. I was suffering from relationship problems,social anxiety & low self esteem.


Rob is a very friendly guy who made me feel at ease straight away, he has a very common sense approach to Life and its problems and has a wealth of experience in helping people with their problems. In his words " There is very little I haven't heard people say that can surprise/shock me" Rob puts things into perspective and has a sense of humour. I had Hypnoanalysis and sessions working on the CLB process. I have a very analytical mind so it took quite a while for me to work through my problems. I found the Hypnosis very relaxing and at times quite moving..


I & my friends/family have seen a big improvement in myself and how I look at life/people in general. I apply the CLB techniques daily and see positive results. I still have moments,but feel I now have the tools to deal with the difficult times and hopefully keep myself moving in the right direction.
It has been one of the best things I have done in my life and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Rob to anyone.

Regards,
XXXX

 

 

Testimony for website

I approached Rob for some hypnotherapy assistance with anxiety and confidence issues that I was experiencing due to issues in my job. The initial interview was free and though it he quickly put me at ease with the process we were to embark on. There was no pressure on me, no hard sell of hypnosis as a panacea, but through his careful explanation of what we would do, and his clear and concise answers to the (many) questions I had, I felt that the therapy would be of great use to me and I could see how the sessions would work.

Rob continued this dialogue throughout the therapy sessions, answering any questions I had and advising me not to “over think” the process – something of which I am guilty in all aspects of my life! Rob’s explanation was that I had to be “in” the process and not analyse it too much, though there was time for this too.

I had a number of sessions with him, all following the same pattern but achieving different results. After each session we would discuss the outcomes and this helped me feel comfortable and confident with what we were doing all the time. When the sessions drew to a close, I was feeling ‘normal’ again, and though I have had several issues to face both personally and professionally since, I have never again felt out of control and overwhelmed by the circumstances I have been in. The hypnotherapy gave me something of myself back, and this was the most importance outcome for me and what I originally wanted form the therapy. I know that I can see Rob again should I need to in the future, but for now the tools the sessions with him gave me are the most important and valuable result I gained from my hypnotherapy experience.

Thanks Rob!

 

Rob is a unique individual with a gift beyond the skills of hypnotherapy itself. He allows you to rebuild faith and trust in yourself and those around you to live a happier, healthier life. Most importantly he allows this to happen in a safe, non- judgemental, often fun environment. I arrived on his doorstep having got to the point of being completely distrustful of any human being and extremely suppressed from years of abuse from a family member and a recent partner. This had manifested itself in extreme behaviour at times, phobias and panic attacks. I was experiencing very low self- esteem and a considerable amount of social anxiety. Despite being able to hide this pretty well most of the time, I was determined to find a way to free myself from the pain that I felt inside.


My journey with hypnotherapy has been a happy one with positive results that have lead to being able to make confident decisions about how I choose to live my life and realise that the ability to do this comes from me and not from others or external influences. Learning and enjoying  a more positive way of thinking has been the most empowering experience towards making the world a better place in all my relationships and work.


Having recently taken part in Rob’s Changing Limiting Belief programme, I have been able to find out a lot more about myself and really understand who I am and why I do things the way I do, and how my experiences have contributed to who I am now. By doing this and being honest with myself, I have been able to get a better life balance and finally begin to believe in myself and my future. This has been very rewarding and after so many years [since childhood], I finally feel I am in control of my life and have the knowledge of some great techniques to do this. This journey has been no different from learning any other skill in life, we just don’t usually have the opportunity to find out about this one unless you go and look for it yourself. I would imagine if you are reading this you are already on your way in search for a more content life, and I strongly recommend you visit Rob so that he can guide and encourage you to do the rest…..
