Hypnotherapy

"I had experienced anxiety and depression for most of my adult life, to a greater or lesser extent and got by with learning to manage its symptoms. This was more or less effective depending on what was going on, but I had always accepted that it was going to be something I would have to live with for the rest of my life. I had seen other testimonials from clients of Harry's, and I had in the back of my mind that it could be something that would benefit me, but I didn't reach out until a period of extreme stress in my life, when I realised that I didn't want to experience my life in that way any more, and wanted to be more proactive in getting to the source of my anxieties. I find it hard to relate to the specifics of my anxiety now, but from what I can remember, the source of these feelings ultimately came down to feelings of powerlessness, or rather my inability to see and understand my own power. I was very concerned with what people thought about me, used to need to feel like I was liked by everyone, and was very preoccupied with meeting the expectations of others, at the expense of my own. Over time, this became a painful way to exist as it sapped my autonomy and left me constantly feeling like I 'wasn't good enough.' I had tried to fix this in the past with the use of antidepressants, extended periods of counselling and CBT, and probably a bit of self medication. The CBT was helpful to an extent, as it helped me devise strategies to manage specific situations, but all of these measures only addressed the symptoms of what was going on with me, and none helped me get to the bottom of the problem I was experiencing. Because of this, I always imagined I would only be able to manage the symptoms, and that the cause would always be something in my life. Before coming to see Harry I was almost reluctant to keep the appointment because I was very nervous. I thought I knew what his style of hypnotherapy would be like, as I had listened to guided meditations here and there for things like weight loss and smoking. I was expecting that I would be told to relax, and guided into a trance, where he would make various suggestions that would somehow do their job. The hypnotherapy that Harry guided me through was nothing like that. It was interactive, extremely moving and surprisingly fun. I still can't really describe it and I have no idea how it worked, but it got a result in a few hours that I was unable to get over a period of years. Harry worked with me for hours, and I got the impression (or maybe he said) that he works with his clients for as long as necessary. When I arrived we discussed what I perceived to be my problem. The conversation flowed from there and after a while I noticed some phrases Harry said really resonated with me, although I consciously didn't understand what he was saying. A number of times during our conversation, I felt the urge to close my eyes, completely relax and just let things process. Consciously I didn't know what my brain was doing but it was a profound feeling that I can't articulate. Towards the end of the session Harry pushed me further to make sure that the cause of my issues was 100% resolved, and he followed up with me after the session to double check this. Since my session I am so far removed from something that was so debilitating that I can barely remember what it was, let alone imagine how it controlled so much of my experience of life. It has also helped me transform my perspective and step into power that I never imagined I could possess. I feel so much more at ease with who I am, my choices and ability to manage and learn from crises, and things that used to bother me because they were out of my control now seem like fun puzzles. I feel so much more empowered now, and am looking forward to exploring the boundaries of different parts of my life, rather than shying away from them and trying to stay in a comfort zone. It has also given me a renewed appreciation of everything in my life, especially the people. During the session I said more than once that I couldn't understand why I was reluctant to do this, and I can't imagine why I was worried beforehand. I had been putting off addressing my issues for years, and I didn't realise until the consultation that the reason behind it was fear. If anyone is in a similar position and thinks they are too busy, not sure they "need" it, it's too inconvenient, etc, I would urge them to challenge themselves and see what happens. The results of my session have been beyond my wildest expectations, and my expectations were pretty high. I feel like I have wasted so much of my life making excuses not to address this and trying to manage it, and I'm so, so glad that I finally did and can start living an autonomous life, unrestrained needlessly by fear, lack of faith in myself and uncertainty. As a relatively recent client, the benefits of my session are still emerging, and I expect this will be the case for a long time. I remember saying in the session "this is the best gift anyone has given me", (to which Harry reminded me "yes, what a great gift you've given to yourself"). At the moment I think the most valuable thing that's come out of my session is the understanding that I have the power to transform myself to this extent. I am no longer scared that people will think negatively of me, which has allowed me to be more genuine and vulnerable, and approach life without the need to compartmentalise."

"I have previously spent the majority of my life with feelings of Anxiety, Stress, Low Confidence and most of all a feeling of uncertainty. At the age of 25 and multiple attempts to treat these feelings something had to change and I was fed up feeling the way I was. I was essentially living my life in a constant state of trying to pre-empt the future. I previously would avoid social situations out of fear, making up lies and excuses to get out of commitments I made. When I wasn’t doing that, I was constantly over-complementing people or doing things for people I barely knew which I now realise was purely to seek validation, something I always thought I needed previously. I had a distorted sense of who I was as a person, my life felt completely fake. Medications, counselling and an attitude of “I need something to make this feeling leave”, failed me. I got to a point of realising I could no longer try to bandaid the feeling and I needed to solve the root cause of it, so I could reach the potential I knew I had inside me. Hypnotherapy seemed appealing to me. I chose Harry because he seemed to have a sincerity about him and he specialises in this. Harry is easy to talk to and he cares. The session is indescribable. I can say for sure it won’t be what you’re expecting. Much like how the solution to your issue, won’t be what you were expecting. It will certainly be liberating though. There is a moment that happens, when your brain finally realises why you’ve been feeling this way. This realisation you will have is what gives you the empowerment to solve your issue. That moment is one I will never ever forget as it was essentially the turning point. I now live my life, instead of writing scripts for it. I have plans to do things which I know will make me happy, but remain just as happy in the meantime. I wake up every morning fear free with a really nice sense of feeling content and empowered. I now have the power to decide how any emotion I feel in my life will effect me. It has given me an appreciation of who I am as a person, which has made me realise I have everything I need to make me feel happy and carefree, right now in this very moment. If you’re ready for it, this process will change your life. Not only will you say goodbye to negative emotions controlling you, you will appreciate your life in the present moment so much more than you ever thought. I’m writing this testimonial after my breakthrough with Harry in the hope that more people can experience life the same way I am. I highly recommend going through with it. You will become the best version of yourself and what greater thing could you have happen."

"I first decided to book in with Harry to try to finally overcome what I saw as my anxiety and depression, which I had been suffering with for quite a few years. I made this decision because I'd been feeling like something really needed to change before I could move on with my life, and after speaking with Harry I felt like he could help me do this. My anxiety and depression made me feel like I wasn't capable of doing the things I really wanted to do, and the only way I was dealing with this was by running away from things and pretending to myself that I just needed to move again or change my job or distract myself in some other way, which of course never worked. Now I can see that all of the things I did to try to fix my issues, and all of the lifestyle change I made, were simply distractions from what I really needed to address. ​ Before going into my session with Harry, I wasn't really sure what to expect, but I was definitely worried about what hypnosis would bring up. During my session I went into trance a couple of times and I felt like I was in some sort of dream world full of my memories, but in a strange way I felt like it was still me in control of everything that was happening, but the unconscious me. At first, I was seeing all of these memories and feelings in a very negative way, and it felt like they were all bundled up into a knot in my stomach. The only way I can describe consciously what happened then is that there was a gradual shifting of this negative knot of memories during my session, and eventually the memories started to feel very positive and almost like I was seeing them for what they really were. ​ By the end of the session, it was like a huge weight had been lifted, and that horrible knot in my stomach had been unravelled and thrown away. Now my session has been and gone I feel like the real me has returned, I feel like there is nothing to run away from anymore, and I'm ready to move on with my life and do all of the things I've been too scared to do for years. Things like pursuing my passions, making some roots closer to home and family and friends, and maybe starting a family with my wonderful partner. I truly think that if you're somebody who is finding excuses not to face your problems (which I was for a while), you should stop and think what you're gaining from doing this, and I'm sure you'll see that it's nothing. If you feel like you're ready and in need of real change, then you probably are, and going through this will be an amazingly powerful thing."

“I’ had experienced anxiety and depression from my earlier stages of my childhood, these feelings came on very strong after having my children to the point where things started to feel out of control. At this point I knew I had to reach out for help. One night I was on the internet and I was doing a search on anxiety and I saw Harry’s web page, it was almost a sign of relief, so I read some of the testimonials and thought YES, I must make an appointment! My anxiety made my life a big struggle, I was extremely exhausted, mentally & physically drained all I wanted to do was to sleep. My anxiety created me to have Panic attacks and body shakes. My day would start feeling anxious as soon as I got out of bed, I would avoid the freeway as my driving started to become an issue, I felt stuck, couldn’t breathe, legs shaking, feeling sick and I always needed a bottle of water. I realised my life changed where I couldn’t do a lot of things that I use to like such as going into the lift made me feel hot and stuck to the point, I couldn’t wait for the door to open and be the first person out to take a breath of air! The thought of being home alone made me sick to the stomach I always had to have an adult in the house with me otherwise my thoughts would spiral out of control with the amount of fear in my body and mind. Basically, I was living in constant FEAR!! In the past I had seen a therapist what she had suggested I go for my daily walks (well that’s not an option as I was afraid to be alone), read a book which it help me, but I didn’t enjoy reading. I started doing home exercise and that really helped me for the first 6 months of COVID lockdown, but I had to do home schooling and my motivation went out the window! My therapist recommend I start on a low dose of medication. I never took the medication as that would be the last option. I was so excited to see Harry especially the thoughts of being hypnosis, I was nerves before my appointment but super excited because it would be something different than just bandaiding the issues. This was it! The life changing experience starts Now…. ​ Harry’s unique approach enabled me to connect my conscious thoughts with the sub & unconscious mind while being very conscious and aware of my surroundings. Harry spent hours with me which felt like an hour. By the end of the session, I feel so much lighter and free, free of fear, free of anxiety and free to live my life!! Day after my session I had to use a lift in the hospital, I just walk in all alone and came out as a normal person, I couldn’t believe what just had happened I was so HAPPY that I called my husband and told him. I had the confidence to drive on the freeway and happily singing to the music at that moment it felt like I could take on the world. Now I can ask for everyone to go out and leave me in peace home alone again! Now that my life has changed, I’m looking forward to the future and nothing is stopping me from enjoying my life with my beautiful family. The power is in my hands and I have full control of my emotions no matter the situations that come my way. Anyone that is suffering any Anxiety or Depression don’t be afraid to reach out to Harry as I highly recommend his outstanding work and gratitude towards his clients and willingness to reach the bottom of your problems. ​ The most important thing for me in achieving success with my session is that FEAR can longer control me I control FEAR”.

"Harry, I do not know how to thank you enough, for helping me to see the real me. I was depressed, anxious and frightened all the time since my childhood. I thought that fear had its hold on me and that I will never be better and what people call normal - living without fear - and that this would be my way of living forever, I thought that I couldn't escape fear. I am 63 years old now, I have sought help, you name it, counsellors, psychologists, and changing counsellors so many times, thinking that they were not good, it was not doing anything for me, to the point where I lost hope, until I came across your website. I was happy of what I saw, thinking to myself, that's it for me, nothing is going to work just like before, I thought about it over and over. I was so desperate to get better but at the same time I deeply needed to get rid of that yukiness sort of feeling that was lingering within my being 24/7. I thought that I had spent enough dollars on finding someone or something to cure me, and nothing was going to help me. And then I said to myself, what if I give it a go. Little that I know that your kind of work was my answer. I am so over the moon of making that decision in that instant that it changed my life forever. Thank you for helping me to believe in myself and to journey with me to find the truth that sets me free. I will forever be grateful to you not only a hypnotherapist but a friend too. Thank you for having my back and giving me a chance to breathe again."

"I had tried so many avenues in the past, medication, psychology, meditation, yoga, exercise, some worked for a time but my problems always came back. I was desperate to try something else and am open to new alternative ideas, the idea of hypnosis seemed to be the next logical step to try. I was in a very negative, anxious place. Crying all the time in a downward spiral. I had problems sleeping, eating and couldn't work. I really needed a reset. My anxiety made my life a struggle, constantly on edge and paranoid. It was exhausting trying to avoid anxious situations and conflict, and impossible. I had tried medication and various psychologists along with yoga and meditation. I failed because these things weren't getting to the root of the problem. I was open to hypnosis and had heard of success stories from others that had tried it to lose weight and quit smoking, so I was hopeful. The entire experience with you was positive from our very first conversation. I trusted that you would help me. From before the hypnosis, during the appointment and afterwards in follow ups you have been amazing. During the appointment you immediately put me at ease and I felt very relaxed throughout the hypnosis. I felt that you had all the time in the world to dedicate to helping me, there was no looking at the clock for the appointment to finish, just whenever everything had been worked through. Something I had never experienced before. I feel lighter, I'm no longer carrying around my baggage. I look at every situation differently to before, I feel so positive for the future. The experience has changed my life hugely, I no longer cry all the time, I can go to work, no paranoia, no fear of conflict. Just a whole new perspective on life. I've started to look to myself not others for answers. This is the biggest change. I'm looking forward to my positive energy and change in outlook/perspective having a knock on effect to my children and the benefits it will bring to my family life. If you are totally open to helping yourself and moving forward, don't waste another second. I wish I'd found Harry years ago and hadn't been in my anxious ridden place for so long. Breaking the cycle and the downward spiral and the affect it was having on every aspect of my life.
