In their own words.

I needed help with my self-esteem, anxiety and setting better boundaries. I had tried hypnotherapy several times before without any success, so I was convinced it simply wouldn’t work for me.

My sessions with Barry were completely different. I experienced a deep sense of peace and relaxation that stayed with me even after the sessions. I also gained some really useful tools to help me move forward, and was able to put some of them into practice straight away.

Barry listened to what I needed and tailored each session accordingly. I felt genuinely heard and understood. And his voice is so soothing, I never want the session to end!

I would definitely recommend Barry to anyone considering hypnotherapy - even if, like me, you’re sceptical about whether it will work.

I approached the session with Barry with an open mind having used a relaxation pod before my view was that it could only help. Barry was really good at getting me to articulate what I wanted from the session which was reducing work stress. He outlined what the process would entail and how I might find my reaction to the session.

We started with a relaxation technique and I was soon relaxing to the wonderful calm, dulcet tones of Barry’s voice. The technique we used involved visualisation which I admit I am not very good at but, we got to a point where he asked me to let go of frustration (the thing I wanted to control) and let in good thoughts and immediately I was somewhere I knew well and saw it all really clearly which was amazing. We then went through a door and it was pitch black in the room but as Barry talked me through the next part of the exercise I was amazed at how the light increased and again I could see a way forward.

We followed on with some practical grounding techniques before he gentle brought me back – well it did take a little while as I admit that lovely lyrical voice had me well relaxed! Even more amazing is how some of the little things I agreed to try have helped. The place I was sitting watching my bad thoughts and frustrations go out with the waves is actually a place from my childhood and I have a picture of it in my office so I can now see it blurred behind me in meetings so it really helps me with the grounding technique. Our follow up session built on this and was equally helpful.

It was a fantastically helpful experience. I approached it with no expectations and an open mind but it really has helped me more than I thought it would. Barry was brilliant and that voice had me drifting off while the techniques worked at a deeper sub conscious level. Thank you for the opportunity. I would thoroughly recommend giving it a try and just approach it with no preconceptions and I can guarantee you can’t help but relax with Barry. Thank you
