Meeting with David was the best decision that I made for my life.

It was not the first time that I attended a therapy session, but my time with David was different. I wanted to eliminate some issues that I had regarding stress and Anxiety which were really starting to impact my day to day life, and my ability to deal with many of life’s issues in general. I have spent years attempting to rid of these problems, yet no matter what I did, I felt that I never really had control over them.

When working with David, he explained in great details how my mind was actually creating the emotions associated with my fears and anxieties, and then, through hypnosis proceeded to work, what I can only describe as, his magic. Afterwards, I felt lighter, with an in depth understanding as to how and why I was experiencing these anxieties and fears. I was viewing them completely objectively, and had an ability to understand them, which in turn gave me complete control. It was a wonderful feeling.

David is, first and foremost, a fantastic, generous person. He goes above and beyond to ensure that the work he has performed has been effective in your particular session. As a professional therapist, his understanding of the mind puts you at ease, confident that he fully understands your problem. The full process is very professional, with a sense of trust, established from day one.

I wholeheartedly provide my recommendation to anybody looking to improve their quality of life. In my opinion, you could not be in better, more competent or professional hands, than that of David Bailey.

I contacted David when I found myself struggling with depressive thoughts, anxiety and loneliness. Just before I saw the GP who called this a depression and proposed to start taking medication. I hesitated however to directly start with anti-depressants after a short ten minutes consultation with the doctor, because I felt that there were other ways to approach my emotional wellbeing.

I didn’t know what to expect when I sent David the first email, because I haven’t heard from or experienced hypnotherapy before. And the response was overwhelming. From the beginning, David’s emails were so full of thought, helpful and practical advice and new ideas of how to shift my perspectives. This included hypnosis relaxation mp3s, short videos for workouts at home to boost serotonin release and recommendations for documentaries and movies about our mind and how it creates reality. Even though the waiting list to get an appointment was long, David’s support was there right from the beginning and I felt he was actually helping me the most of all the people around me with his detailed emails and material that he send me. Whenever I had a question or doubt, he would reply directly to my queries.

Since the session with David, the contact via mail and the practice of his mp3s, I have learned two powerful things that will stay with me forever. First, the fact that when I breath, I relax. A simple technique that I can apply whenever I feel that strong emotions such as anxiety or anger are arising. And it works, every single time. The cool thing is, it is free and always available. Second, I am now able to take negative thoughts not so seriously, but see them much more like clouds that will blow away. So including the very fruitful session we had, after working with David I feel much more equipped to first recognise when mental bad weather arises, and second, to apply techniques that prevent these thoughts from taking over my whole mind and body. I feel it became easier for me to stay calm and relaxed even in stormy moments, which gives me tremendous freedom and strength. This has a huge impact on my studies as well. Usually I would get easily overwhelmed when essay deadlines came closer and course work got more intense. I remember a similar situation the day after the session with David and something shifted inside of me. I was about to fall into my common thought patterns of failing, panic and stress, which usually translates into an eating attack. In that moment I was though able to hold on for a second, breath relax and kindly ask myself ‘are these thoughts serving me, are there really stressful waves coming from my essay to me or is it maybe my mind not thinking very clearly in this moment’?

So even though thoughts of failing are still arising, I know have the ability to step back and watch them passing by, without having to give them so much importance and energy that I can use for the important things ahead.

I recommend getting in touch with David if you feel negative thoughts restricting your daily life and wellbeing.

What was it that you came to the session for?

When I decided to try hypnosis I was quite sceptical, however the session was very fruitful as it not only helped me to understand the therapy but also helped my personal growth. At some point David asked me to wash away all bad feelings and sorrow, surprisingly I started crying unconsciously, and had no way to stop it. The session went on and once it was over, I felt really revived, free and more confident than ever before. At first I thought it might be only a temporary effect, but now that’s been about 7 months since, I still feel happier and freer. I thank David deeply for helping me be the happy and confident person I wanted to become.

If that was the result with me, I cannot imagine the positive outcome of a treatment directed to specific conditions.
