“From the age of 14 I suffered with Trichotillomania (compulsive hair pulling). In my later teens I began to realise that it had become a real problem, rather than just ‘hair twiddling’, and approached my doctor for advice. As it is quite a rare condition and isn’t widely recognised, she suspected it was stress / anxiety related and recommended counselling. I pursued this for a few months, to little avail, so the problem persisted for several more years to come. I had heard that hypnotherapy was an effective method for resolving this type of habit and, at 24, I realised I didn’t want to take it any further into my adult life. I discovered David’s website and decided to contact him at his Hypnotherapy practice in Cheltenham.
I have had just 2 sessions with David. Even after the first I was amazed to discover that, after 10 years, I wasn’t pulling my hair anymore. At all. Not only that but if my hands (now very rarely) go to do so, I am completely able to stop it. A real breakthrough. David has enabled me to fix the problem, and to feel more confident and positive about the future. I can’t thank him enough!”
Sofia, Gloucester
“I’m so pleased to say that I have completely stopped biting my nails – so a huge success. Neither I or my family can quite believe it! A huge thank you to you. I’m currently very close to finishing my course at University and all work is going well.
Rosie B. Windermere, Cumbria.”
“David, It’s nearly two and half years ago since I came to see you for help to give up smoking. I’m pleased to tell you that after all this time I still haven’t had a cigarette, in fact I don’t even think about them anymore, it’s almost as if I never smoked in the first place – great!!”
Jo , Cheltenham.”
“I was feeling quite low before going to see David. I was focusing on all the negative aspects to life and having trouble identifying the positives. I also was suffering from very low self worth. David created a warm and safe environment where I was able to be open and honest about my feelings. The combination of NLP and hypnotherapy techniques he uses and teaches can be used outside of his office and daily to continue to affirm positive thinking. I would highly recommend David and his practice to anyone that feels they need a boost or have hit one of the many bumps life throws at us.”
Stella R. Oxford.
“Before I came to see David Crees at Ethical Minds Hypnotherapy in Cheltenham I was terrified at the thought of public speaking and would do everything to avoid it. Even from the first session I could feel my confidence start to grow and I had set my sights on the final goal. I found the sessions very relaxed but very professional and at the same time was also made aware that David was only a phone call away. Each session felt like a big step further forward. I now feel more confident in many more aspects in my life i.e. not just public speaking. I would never have thought I could have done it before going to see David. Thank you very much for everything.”
Guy, Gloucester
“It’s as if a weight has definitely been lifted off my shoulders. I’ve learnt how to look at things differently and now choose to use a positive perspective. I now have a rejuvenated confidence level within myself and in life in general. The anchor that was holding me back has been cut away…”
Glen, Cheltenham
“David, Just a note to say thanks for the help and encouragement you gave me over our four sessions. I have always found public speaking difficult and our sessions helped me recognise and deal with my anxiety. Your approach was pragmatic and considered. I am no longer spending my professional life avoiding public speaking.
Thank you.”
Harriet, Cheltenham.
“Before visiting David I had an interview to study at a top university. I came away feeling extremely frustrated that nerves had stopped me from performing at my best and expected my application to be turned down. Instead I was called back for a second interview, but I felt concerned that the same would happen again. I had just one session with David, in which he built up my confidence to a level where I felt optimistic about the interview. I got through the interview feeling much more positive and ended up receiving an offer the following week. Thank you David for your help.”
‘Student’, Cheltenham.
“I know my sessions with you at Ethical Minds helped me with a number of things. You made me realise I wasn’t switching off from work when I got home and I didn’t realise or want to accept that before. Since the last session I have been able to consciously switch off and be there for my family. I don’t go off the handle for silly things because I’m more aware now about my priorities. I’m also aware of what I have achieved, and being proud of that. I think I could work on my confidence, in order to progress further in my career. It’s a very male dominant work place so not sure I can do anything about alpha males and their egos! Although since the session I do see myself as being experienced and of value in the office and have voiced this recently when some of my male work colleagues started ruffling their feathers.
All in all, I am happier, I am a nicer person to people at work and especially at home and I’m nicer to me! Thank you for your help.”
Julie, Cirencester.
“Before visiting David I had suffered from some stress and a build up of anger over the last couple of years, I found that with the pressures of work and driving being a big part of my job that the smallest of thing would wind me up which started to affect my life. I had thought about therapy for some time but didn’t see group therapy for me, after talking with my wife she found Ethical Minds. I called David and I instantly found David extremely easy to talk to about my situation, he showed great understanding and made me feel at ease with the process of therapy. After my first session with David I felt that the session was tailored to me and not just a scripted session, this was confirmed with subsequent sessions. Through out my time with David I always felt comfortable to talk about my feelings and with the ideas he suggested. After using the techniques that David has taught me I now feel much more positive and able to deal with the stress’s of life along with todays driving conditions, my home and work life have improved a lot and continue to do so the more I practice.
I cannot thank David enough for all his help, he has helped me turn my life around and I would not hesitate to contact him in the future if I felt the need to or recommend his services to others…”
Ian, Tetbury.
