The sessions we have attended with our hypnotherapist, have been extremely helpful. He is a man of immense wisdom and kindness, and we have both come to have great respect for his extraordinary knowledge and skills. He helps his clients every day with a wide variety of their personal problems and his success rates are nothing short of astonishing. In short, he successfully rebuilds people to make them mentally (and hence physically) stronger.

I doubt if there could be a more rewarding job on this earth. Personally, I have always been a very independent sort and would never have thought that I could push my pride far enough aside to seek help from someone in that line of business. It all seemed "too American" for me. My eyes have however been opened to the value of this kind of approach, in dealing with personal problems. Rose and I now try to act and think in the ways Mike has suggested. His methods work, and we try to give a positive twist to everything that happens to us.

Mike's help and expertise has undoubtedly enabled us to cope much better. He has imprinted his philosophical ideas (and, more in my case, his scientific knowledge) indelibly on our minds. If I seem to stray into "philosophical comment' in this letter, it will probably be a direct result of fresh imprinting derived from Mike's teachings.

Before we had these therapy sessions, Rose and I thought it would probably all be a bit "airy fairy". To my surprise, I found that his "philosophical teachings" are quite largely based on recent but well established scientific research. As a professional Engineer, experienced and trained in examining facts rather than fancies, I was surprised to find that I was readily able to respect the principles he expounds, - largely because of the factual scientific knowledge he brings to bear on his subject. This knowledge not only concerns the brain and the wonderful ways in which it works, but also human behavioural science generally.

Hi Mike

 You may remember that I came to see you at the beginning of the year, before I flew off to S Africa to work on a school project. You worked on fear of flying/lifts with me.

 I can report a very successful trip - long plane journeys with some quite bad turbulence- all dealt with using the strategies you had taught me. Then on the way back I stopped off in Dubai and flew back to Heathrow on my own - my first solo trip ever! You can imagine my exhilaration at meeting such a challenge.

 Since then (February), I have flown to Dublin for a weekend, flew to the Dordogne with a group of strangers and last weekend flew to Paris for a wedding (on a tiny plane) and stayed in a big hotel where I had to regularly use the lift.

I can't believe I'm where I am - I think I can say that I actually enjoy flying (not sure about lifts yet, but getting there). The whole experience has changed me. What complex people we are!  Thank you so much for your huge part in changing my life.

Dear Mike,

Here is a success story that I feel you should know about!  I expect you hear them all the time, but another one can't do any harm.

When I started on your course for the first time over a year ago, I was suffering a lot with asthma.  I was taking large quantities of oral steroids, which were having all sorts of side effects, as well as 16 inhalers per day.  Also I was losing my voice for up to six weeks at a time - quite a problem for a teacher! 

In fact, I was seriously considering giving up the career, which I was enjoying very much in spite of my health problems.

Using the relaxation and suggestion techniques you have taught me, I have now had no asthma for a year (for the first time in my life!), my voice has remained intact, I'm taking no medication at all, my career is flourishing and I feel great!

Many, many thanks

I use NLP techniques in everything I do now. I am so much more positive and in control of my destiny. I have set up my own business as a therapist and am in a much better place in my life.

All thanks to you and your wonderful knowledge you passed onto me. I am sooooo glad I met you Mike I will always think of you with warmth and enormous gratitude.

I recommend NLP techniques to everyone I meet it should be a compulsory subject in schools as it benefits everyone.

I just wanted to write and say Thank You.
 
I have had 4 sessions with you to help with weight loss,but specifically with Chocolate & eating between meals & I am shocked with the results.
 
My 1st session was in August just a few days before going to Brussels on holiday - The chocolate capitol of Europe !!!
 
I managed to spend 4 days in Brussels & have no chocolate - totally unbelievable for someone who used to have at least 1 LARGE bar of chocolate every day.
 
My goal was to lose a stone in 6 months - now to a lot of people that may sound like a long time but I wanted to set a realistic goal & achieve it slowly & sensibly. This also took into account I had a few holidays booked so would probably gain weight on these.
 
It is only 8 weeks since my first session & I have just returned from 2 weeks on an all inclusive 24 hour food & drink holiday - I was dreading getting on the scales despite the fact that my clothes did not feel tight.
 
I have just weighed & I have lost a stone in the last 8 weeks - I cannot believe it, I feel I ate loads on holiday , did no exercise & did not gain any weight - despite having strawberries dipped in chocolate - every day !!!
Obviously all the little tricks you taught me I am obviously using without actually realising it.
 
I must admit I was very sceptical when we first met and even after my first session but I was so wrong.
 
I had 4 sessions with you & Yes you are right you do need a bit of will power but I am so surprised how easy it has been to switch my brain into realising  "I AM JUST BORED".
 
Many thanks for all your help - I am now looking forward to achieving a new goal - another stone in the next 6 months.
 
Off to treat myself and buy some new clothes now........

Dear Mike

It was the best weekend that I'd ever had away with Mum.

All of her usual "put me (Rebecca) down phrases" just didn't work because I was aware of the "trigger"

Before it's too late, Mum is nearly 89, I want to get our relationship back on track. The last 2 years have been very,very difficult.

A benefit from all of your help/advice is that I've just (don't want to jinx it) started to experience much improved sleep patterns. About 6 hours a night for the last 2-3 nights which is a huge improvement on the previous average of 4 hours. This means that I can actually now "function" without absolutely everything being a huge effort.

In short dear Mike, you're a genius.
Thank you
