"With my 50th birthday approaching and very high cholesterol and the menopause underway I decided to take action. Unfortunately with a love of all things sweet and working shifts all attempts at dieting had previously failed. A friend told me she had good results with Hypnotherapy so ... I did some research and decided that Douglas seem suitably qualified.

 

 I had a lot of reservations when I arrived for our first session (Iv been a registered nurse for 23 years - I much prefer medical based treatments) but he was very easy to talk to and the session wasn't anything like I imagined. It was extremely relaxing and whilst I could feel myself drifting away I was also aware that I was still 'in control' and could hear everything that was being said and could walk away at any time (I was worried before hand that I'd be unconscious or something like you see on TV!)

 

I took away a CD to listen to each day ( it lasts about 20 mins) and it worked. Nothing miraculous happened as in :- I suddenly never wanted to devour another piece of cake - I did - but my willpower was much stronger. I really could just say no. Doug suggested that some light exercise would be helpful so I started going for a walk every 2nd/3rd day and I actually started to enjoy it and look forward to going. I started eating healthier food and enjoy that too, the weight came off slowly but after 6 months I have now lost 2stone 5lbs. I still listen to the cd, I suffer from migraines and use the recording to relax me, it also helps me go to sleep.

 

I feel like have got 'me' back and changed the way I live my life rather than just being on a diet, I'm happier, more confident and feel fab.  Douglas is a gentleman and I can't recommend him highly enough I also wouldn't hesitate to book more session in the future if necessary. " by E.F.
