I reached out to Phil to help me process and deal with sudden trauma I experienced just before Christmas 2020. The event left me desperately sad, unable to remove horrific images out of my head and stuck with a feeling of overwhelming guilt around the incident. Phil was amazing from the very first few minutes. He was calm, reassuring, practical, empathetic and a very easy person to talk too. I had three sessions with Phil (all done online) that gave me the chance to unpack the trauma, discover what was driving the feelings from the incident in order to better deal with them and ultimately help

When I first contacted Phil, I was suffering with crippling anxiety. It would take me an hour just to get out of bed, due to panick attacks and vomiting from extreme anxiety. I was struggling to be the mum my kids deserved, and my business was suffering. After my first visit with Phil, I noticed a huge difference. After my second visit my anxiety was completely gone. I am now living my best life, anxiety free. My head is finally clear again, and I am kicking goals with my business. I haven't felt this happy, positive and centred in years.
Phil, no words are enough to tell you how grateful I am

I will never be able to thank Phil enough for making such a huge impact in my life. I had struggled with bad anxiety since a young teenager, to the point where I sadly accepted that it would never leave and this was how I was going to live my life. I was constantly living in fear and unhappy, and had seen numerous therapists however, nothing had helped. I reached out to Phil, although unsure about what hypnotherapy was, I was in need of help. He is amazing at what he does and provides a safe and welcoming atmosphere. Cant believe I am even typing this, but I left his office 4 weeks later, anxiety

I reached out to Phil over some very deep and dark depression issues causing some horrible thoughts. After the 1st 1hour session my self worth had improved and suicidal thoughts had gone. I found myself feeling better after every session I can honestly say Phil has helped me see things a lot clearer not blame myself for other peoples actions and they way they treat me. He also removed some horrible things my subconscious held onto from when I was as young as 3 I am forever great full for Phils help and I can live my day to day life a lot easier and happier now and look forward to the future
