I have just recently had the pleasure of being hypnotized/tranced by David. David's calming presence and voice made me feel very comfortable and relaxed and I immediately felt at ease with him. We worked through many recurring themes and issues from various points in my life and he has really helped me relax and take things easier in general. His words truly resonate daily with me and I am very glad that he worked with me. He's helped me "do nothing" at the right times plus has assisted me to let the past go. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for hypnosis.

I met with David because I have many anxieties and he thought he may be able to help me. I get very stressed  with any new situation. I also get very stressed  when things don't  go to plan. I find it difficult to express how this makes me feel and my behaviour becomes inappropriate shouting at people who are trying to help me.😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠

I already knew David so I was happy to  trust him to help me. We talked a lot about what was worrying me over a few sessions. He made me very relaxed and suggested coping techniques and strategies to deal with unexpected changes.😐

I still find certain situations stressful but I cope better when I remember what David taught me. 😊

I would recommend  you talking to David if you have anxieties and would like help with how to deal with them.😊

“I had never been hypnotised before and thought it was mainly used for drunken entertainment at the local pub or to bring out evidence in 80s cop shows.

At the start of this year I had 2 phobias.  Spiders and needles.  The classics.

In May, I went to the Spider Phobia workshop at the Zoo and part of this they had a hypnotherapist session.  At the end of the workshop I was pretty much cured of my spider phobia but really didn’t think the hypnotherapy had played any part in this (e.g. I presumed it was the time with the keepers and the final handling, not the lying down in a darkened room listening to a story whilst wondering if there were any spiders on the floor beside me). Happy with the end result I was still disappointed that I had not been conked out by a person waving a pocket watch with a spiral on it before my eyes.

I then spoke with David and we decided to give the needle phobia a go. David took me through more about my phobia, what hypnotherapy was about (no spiralled watch unfortunately), the overall process, what to expect to feel at the end and then handy hints for the future.

The session was brilliant.  Relaxed, informative and –most importantly – it worked.

I went in wanting to feel more confident giving blood (I had a doctor’s appointment the next week) and that is exactly how I came out of the session.

It’s crazy to think that for all those years I have been hating ‘spider season’ and any trips to the dentist/doctors in case they reached for a syringe.

Hypnotherapy works wonders and the session with David was a cracking example of this.”

As a teenager and through my 20’s I was what some might call an adrenalin junkie…Mountain Biking, Rock Climbing, hill walking and other adventure sports. I was never concerned about heights or exposure at any time, this all changed in my 40’s.

Driving through france on Holiday we crossed the Pont Du Normandie Bridge. On the way over I was admiring the view and enjoying the experience however on my way back something had changed and it was a white knuckle panic journey, palms sweating , almost shaking and sweating heavily. I just put this down to having an off day!

I never thought about it for some time and then I realised that on occasion I had been changing my route to avoid certain bridges due to the feeling of exposure and panic. It came to a head some 18 months ago when I attended a meeting in Glasgow which was in a high rise building with glass floor to ceiling. Looking out the window I could see a police helicopter in the distance …it looked level with where I was standing.

The feeling of dread that overcame me was horrendous, thinking I was going to fall and possibly die! I could not get out of there fast enough, I pressed the button for the lift and kept hearing it “ping” but no lift..i looked behind and there was another glass lift down the outside of the building…it was not going to happen, I crouched down and prayed for someone to summon the lift and I got out using the internal lift.

I kept my feelings to myself but they were manifesting themselves and anxiety was running high, it was time to do something about it.

Thinking that I had nothing to lose I made my first appointment with David, his calming manner helped from the start. Over the weeks that I attended we talked through situations and feelings, there is no denying its emotional! The most emotional and fantastic experience of all was after a number of weeks and driving home from my appointment I drove over the Forth Road Bridge….i burst out laughing …almost crying I could not believe it…ok granted I did drive round the round about a couple of times before it.

Whilst I have not been back to France to tackle the Pont Du Normandie I would highly recommend David, the difference he has made is hard to put into words.

At the beginning of my first of 4 sessions with David he patiently  encouraged me to give specific details of my objectives and personal goals I was hoping to achieve. Thinking they were out of reach and with a little cynicism on my part we began to work together. At the start of each of the remaining sessions David asked me to revisit my objectives  and goals and we discussed what progress I was making to achieving  them. This was very motivational  and eye opening to what changes that can be made in a short space of time and the effect these  can have on your quality of life.
Thank you David for your professional  approach, support and empowering me to achieve what I thought was unobtainable.

"Anyone, if they wish, can 'attempt' training for hypnotherapy  But there are key factors which are gifts rather than gained via training.  That is to have a caring, warm personality and an aura of trust and healing and David has these gifts in abundance.  Highly recommended.” Claire R

"My experience of hypnotherapy with David was relaxing and very positive.  I felt I could put my trust in David and that he would keep me safe in the process. It would have been good to have more than one session to reinforce the change in my thinking about food.  Next time I'm in Scotland ..."

"Just wanted to say how very much I enjoyed my hypnotherapy sessions with you. Not only has the experience left me without the massive sugar cravings I once had ( only apparent on hormonally challenging days now) but educated me in the damage I was doing to my body. 

I feel I have a healthier relationship with sugar these day & usually opt for fruit with yoghurt instead of running to the local shop to top up my chocolate addiction!

The other huge benefit from our sessions was the feeling of complete relaxation afterwards, being able to have a sound nights sleep & feel refreshed in the morning is worth it's weight in gold!

If I had to sum up this experience I would say it has been educational, relaxing & has certainly curbed my chocoholism! I have had previous experience of hypnotherapy, but none have been as deeply informative or realistic as with David."

“I had the pleasure of teaching David during our 2014 Diploma In Hypnotherapy Course.  David demonstrated a high level of skill as a Hypnotherapist throughout his training, he is a confident practitioner who adapts his experience to work with the needs of his clients. David also has a wonderful natural ability to create a safe, trusting and relaxed atmosphere whilst working with his clients; this is fundamental to helping someone make changes in their life and David does this with ease. I observed and witnessed David having many successes with his fellow students/clients during the 7 months he trained with me, he provided excellent mentoring skills, guidance and support over and above being an excellent Hypnotherapist to everyone he worked with and I would highly recommend David.” 

"I trained with David and during the 7 months of training I always felt in safe hands with David. When we worked on something that I had worked on personally, and with others, David impressed me with his insight and I gained the freedom of a breakthrough. I would highly recommend David. He is a very gentle insightful hypnotherapist and he always has his clients best interest at heart.
