So pleased with this review. Kevin makes a great point about always being in control. A very common concern with hypnotherapy.

I was a real skeptic when it came to things like hypnotherapy when I first made contact with John but having spent years struggling with claustrophobia, which was getting worse as I got older, I new I had to try something.
I was nervous as I went to that first appointment, I like to be in control and didn't really believe that he would be able to put me into some sort of trance and I wasn't sure I would be comfortable if he did.
As it turned out it was nothing like I had imagined, He showed me into a warm, comfortable room, with a couple of large wing back chairs and asked me to sit down and relax. We talked for a while and he asked more questions about my experiences regarding my claustrophobia, before putting on some relaxing music and asking me to close my eyes and relax.
He then spoke to me about some of the scenario's that had triggered my attacks, reassuring me that I was OK and safe at all times as he worked his way through them. It's very hard to explain to someone how, even thinking about being on a plane, could make me very anxious on my own but listening to john speak, made it feel safe to think about it.
I remember thinking when John asked me to open my eyes at the end of the session, that he couldn't have been speaking for more than a few minutes but as I got back into my car I realized that I had been with him for over an hour. It was strange, as I felt I had been in control at all times but had completely lost track of time.
In total I had four sessions with John, plus the time I spent listening to the relaxation recordings that he sent me after each session and since them I have been able to get on trains and go into some pretty confined places without having a panic attack, something I could not have done before seeing him. I have yet to get on a plane but I am sure I will be able to when the time comes.
I recommend him and his process wholeheartedly."
