Fear of Travel

Since starting hypnotherapy with Joe 3 months ago I literally feel like a different person.

When I began having sessions I was feeling so low I didn't know how any kind of therapy could help me. Joe was really positive and a great encouragement and I immediately knew he listened without judgement.

He would not allow me to focus on the negative and had the ability to make me let go of my perceived past failures, which was key to my success.

I was struggling to travel anywhere and had the added pressure I felt I was constantly letting my children down which did not sit well with me.

Now a few months on I have travelled to places I deemed impossible. I have been on the underground which I had avoided for an astonishing 12 years and travelled roads I struggled with. My level of panic at the thought of going anywhere is much lessened and to a large extent my mind thinks differently about it.

I am very grateful I found help with an issue I found so debilitating, and I will continue my therapy with Joe as and when I feel I need it.

In House Work at Local Company

I worked with Joe Barnes during my time as Sports and Social Coordinator for a well known, established engineering company. I found Joe to be an exceptionally talented young man who was both professional and approachable in his Hypnotherapy work. Good results were met by all clients who received treatments including myself.

Joe's personal approach helped clients to relax and understand the Hypnotherapy treatment.

Weight Loss

Just clearing our my purse and I saw your business card, so I thought I'd sent you a quick note to let you know how I am getting on.

I hope you remember me and my addiction to chocolate?! Well, after our second session at the beginning of June, I felt a great deal more positive. And since that day I have not touched chocolate!!!

I know, I can hardly believe it myself, I feel so proud. I am just not interested in it any more, so no more chocolate binge eating! But what I am also really pleased about is; when I do feel the need for being 'naughty' I might just have one biscuit or a few crisps, whereby before I would just eat the whole packet all at once! So not only do I not eat chocolate, but you have also curbed my binge eating in general. I have got a far healthier attitude to eating now.

I am being realistic though, and take each day as it comes, but to last over two months is incredible for me.

I’ve been telling absolutely everyone about it, so hopefully someone might follow my example and get in contact with you.

Many thanks for all your help.

Fear of Heights

I had been skiing at least 7 times before I sought your help in hypnotherapy. Each time I was afraid of heights, could not open my eyes at all whilst on any chair lift or bubble. I would hug the back of any chair lift to secure myself and I was dead scared even when the bar was being lifted, trying to keep hold of it as long as possible. I used more nervous energy worrying, than actual energy skiing because I was so frightened of the heights and piste edges too.

After the first session, I was still uncertain. I felt I should have been 'asleep' not thinking of anything else. The second session found me a bit more relaxed but still not convinced entirely that I had been 'under' as I recalled everything that went on during the hypnosis, but on the way home I was really becoming excited about going skiing.

As soon as I was on the journey, I knew I would enjoy myself. I did not have that awful nervous pit in my stomach. Well, the first day on the chair lift my husband could not believe what he was seeing. My eyes open, seeing the views for the first time ever from up above. I had missed so much all those years previously. Since then I have never looked back.

The following year I knew I would not be scared on the lifts, but I decided to have more hypnotherapy to help me when I fell over. I would 'freeze' thinking I could not get up again and turn to go downhill.

Two sessions with you and off I went skiing. I have been 4 times since then and I am not afraid now at all, which has also improved my skiing.

Thank you Joe, I would recommend you to any one I can.

Stop Smoking

Hi Joseph,

Thank you for getting in touch – three months later and I am still going strong!

It is weird; it all seems like a distant memory. It appears I have 'clicked' back into my old self.

Read More

So thank you for that. I really enjoyed the sessions. It was a good idea to have the first session to get the commitment, before the second session. The follow up session is also a good idea – as it stands, I will not be needing it, but it is good to know that it is there.

I also felt that you really listened to me and managed to frame the sessions in a way that reflected my own values and believes.

You come across as listening without prejudice or judgement, which is really good for building rapport and making more sense to me.

The proof is in the pudding and I am still on course for a successful smoke free future, so it obviously worked!

Thanks again Joseph.
