What People Say
Some words from a few successful hypnotherapy clients
I began working as a hypnotherapist in 2004 and since then have helped thousands of people to lose weight and to stop smoking but there is so much more that effective hypnotherapy can do. Over the years I have worked with an extremely wide range of challenges, from stress, anxiety, confidence and some very unusual issues.
Most of my work comes from recommendations from happy clients. I often work with people who have tried hypnotherapy before, without success and help them find a way to make it work for them. Here is just a small selection of testimonials from some of my clients……….
Life changing!
I was a very picky eater, very select plain food was all I lived off for 27 years. I really wanted to change, as i was becoming more ill, and tasks such as gym and sports were no longer possible and my body would not recover without a long period of time.
Edward allowed me to change all this and now I eat almost anything put in front of me, which allows me to enjoy going out for family meals and allows me and my wife to travel more to experience different foods from all over the world.
The ultimate gift was the ability to take my wife out for her 30th birthday for a meal, without sitting there eating side orders or not eating all. I will never be able to thank Edward enough.
I would recommend Ed and hypnosis to anyone. I wanted help with a subject that I was very sensitive about and Ed was totally non-judgmental and immediately made me feel at ease and relaxed!
The process was easy to get into and has helped me immensely. Very pleased with the results and I will use hypnosis in the future as necessary.
Just a quick note to update you on my progress. I have lost 33 pounds since I saw you last!!
The most amazing thing In the world. Peaceful and tranquil…
My mind truly opening up and my subconscious being communicated too in such an engaged, effective and logical way. A truly mind blowing experience
It really helped with my irrational anxiety. I am so much calmer now and able to deal with life better. The experience of working with Edward has turned my life around.
I was suffering from irrational anxiety that was making my life a misery, and now I am very much calmer and able to cope with life.
Edward has really helped me, and left me with tools to help myself in the future.
Edward helped me enormously in preparing for the birth of my second child. My first labour had been long, painful, and like most women’s, had not followed my birth plan! I’d read all the books – on hypnobirthing and natural birth and I’d tried to practise some of the relaxation techniques that they taught,
most of which had concentrated on controlled breathing – not much different from the pilates and yoga I had also done. And so I wasn’t really convinced that they would help while I was in the throws of painful contractions.
I was sceptical about how Edward’s hypnotherapy techniques might help, and all I had to go on was my experience of TV and stage hypnotists. But Edward’s calm and caring approach and clear explanation of what he was going to do put me and my husband at ease.
fter only a couple of sessions I was able to get into a state of deep relaxation where I could focus on the positive goal of seeing my healthy baby boy, rather than a process of pain.
Unfortunately there were complications and I had to have a cesarean section. But the proceeding weeks and days leading up to the delivery were made all the easier by the hypnosis that I’d had with Edward
I wasn’t sure what to expect from the experience, but I found it relaxing and comfortable. Before I felt anxious, on edge and suffered panic attacks a lot of the time, especially when travelling or in enclosed spaces.
I am know feeling much calmer, car journeys are no longer a stressful time for me. I was unsure what to expect when it came to hypnotherapy, but Edward made me feel calm and at ease straight away. For me hypnotherapy helped immensely, I now feel calmer and my anxiety is in check.
I would definitely recommend trying hypnotherapy and Edward is a fantastic at what he does.
I would not go to see shows, to the cinema or to anything that involved loud noises and avoided them at all costs. I wouldn’t even stay to the evening reception at my own daughters wedding. I have constantly all my life turned down invites to functions which friends stopped inviting me to.
They knew if there was going to be any form of entertainment I would say no.
I have been to see a show in the West end and have also seen a musical. This was impossible before visiting Edward. Recently I saw a musician in the street and in the past would have legged it in the opposite direction, but I stayed to listen and enjoyed the music. My husband wanted me to film it, as he was amazed that I didn’t run off. I have just accepted my first invite to a family party where there will be a disco.
I would recommend anyone to try hypnosis with Edward. You have to be positive and willing to give it a try as I found out being positive can mean a change of life. Where I use to run in the opposite direction at the sound of loud noises, I can now control the fear rather than the fear control me and enjoy my life.
Relaxing and surprisingly easy to do.
Very different from what I had imagined - you feel that you are 'concious' all the time, but in a place of complete calm.
I had a couple of issues to which I could find no solution, and I knew that my health was suffering because of the stress and high blood pressure. A major factor in the success of my work with Edward was a simple comment that Edward made in the first session - that the mere fact that I was there meant that the way in which I had been trying to handle the problems simply wasn't working.
He has helped my get my 'mojo' back - I am a strong person who had taken a couple of serious knocks, and Edward was able to help me find the right 'attitudes' to help me deal with these knocks and move forward in a much more positive way.
I can sincerely say that Edward is amazing at what he does - I was originally sent to him by my Osteopath friend who said that Edward does for the head what he (the osteopath) does for the body!
He has an amazing empathy for your situation, is not in the least judgmental, but helps you tackle your issues in clearly understandable ways that leave you feeling calmer and stronger.
Not what I expected. Relaxing and a feeling of being very focused. Always with the utmost trust and felt very comfortable. Before I anxious over minimal problems and now have the ability to use things learnt in sessions to focus and remain calm.
Hypnotherapy and specifically Edward’s highly methodical and expert use of it, surpassed all of my expectations. His approach to my particular situation was fantastic and he really made me feel at ease. More importantly, Edward teaches you more and more about the human mind throughout your sessions with him and helps you to understand the changes that you and he make along the way.
Thoroughly recommended, in my opinion!
I suffered very badly from anxiety for 7 years. I have tried medication, CBT, group therapy, counselling and even rapid eye movement therapy, they were good for a short while but nothing shifted the anxiety for good and recently it just got unmanageable and unbearable.
I am into mountain biking and would worry about new trails and even fret about trails I had done a thousand times before, one tiny slip would set me off into a panic attack.
A new trail would leave me breathless, panicky and I would freeze with fear and have to push my bike back to the car in tears! Now on my bike I enjoy the moment. I don’t worry about what is ahead and have a huge sense of ‘I can do it’ and take every challenge as it comes.
I have done things since our very first session which I would never have even considered before! I have gone back to places where I couldn’t do bits and not even hesitated and smashed it! I am going mountain biking around Europe and now known can do anything! I can do it! No need to worry!
My husband and brother have noticed a huge change in me and it is all down to Edward! We couldn’t thank him enough!!!
I’ve never experienced anything like it before!
I was skeptical about the benefit but found the process relaxing and its effect very significant. It has taken my golf handicap down from 18 to 7 in a three month period.
Over the years I have tried most methods of reducing weight but tapping into the subconscious is definitely the most successful.
Slightly surreal. I came out of the session not sure whether I had really allowed Edward to talk to my subconscious and feeling slightly fraudulent; then exactly one week later I stopped smoking tobacco. It has been 3 weeks since then and no cravings at all.
I was stuck in an endless cycle of knowing that I must stop smoking and not being able to.
Edward has helped me in a profound way. I am very grateful for this and for the time he has spent with me in order to get me to this new place in my life. Thank you.
I would describe it a slightly strange but in a good way. For the time you are “hypnotised” it is like the world is continuing around you, and you are aware of all this, but you don’t care and are happy just being wherever you think you are at that moment in time.
I generally felt like, after having this problem for 20+ years of my life, and attempting to change nothing had worked before, I thought that I would try hypnotherapy as I had read that it could help me and I was at a point where I didn’t only want to change I needed to.
It has improved a great deal. I will admit that I was a little skeptical when I first start, as its something that I never thought could help me, and after my first session nothing seemed to have changed, but things did change but that first week was small changes.
I have now, at the time of writing writing this, had 4 sessions with Edward and the problems I went to see him about are now starting to go and my life is so much better for it and I am happier.
Even though I have only know him a few week, its feels like Edward Arran has been my friend for years. He is a great man, professional, funny and knows exactly how to help with the problems you rare having.
I would highly recommend his service to anybody looking for help with their problems, and for anybody who is looking for hypnotherapy to help, he would be top of my list.
You will never feel more relaxed
I would highly recommend Edward, he has helped me immensely and I would have no hesitation in seeking his help again in the future if needed.
Thank you for the help you gave me in preparing for the operation. I know I could not have made it without your help. Right from the first session I knew that hypnotherapy was going to make me succeed and I came across a poem by Robert Louis Stevenson the first verse of which summed up my feelings after you had left.
The poem is entitled “My brain swims empty and light” and I will quote that verse;
My brain swims empty and light
Like a nut on a sea of oil;
And an atmosphere of quiet
Wraps me about from the turmoil and clamour of life.
Thanks to you I was able to have a successful operation and will now be able to resume the kind of life I enjoy.
Best Wishes
The amazing thing was that after the sessions my problems cam back ten-fold with no respite making me believe the therapy hadn’t worked – but only made things worse!
Then suddenly all the problems disappeared and stopped – full stop. Leaving me to be me – to be free – to be brilliant! Thank you Edward – I would recommend it to everyone.
Many thanks for your wonderful work with me. I have been put to the test on several occasions, and passed with flying colours.
Just had to write and tell you about the changes in my life. The hypnotherapy did work after an enormous struggle with my mind – and I haven’t thought of a drink for 4 months!
It is a very relaxing experience. I no longer drink alcohol, however the rather pleasant sensation of, say, a glass of wine is a similar feeling to hypnosis. You feel relaxed and safe.
Mellow is probably the best description of the emotional state. You are still there, fully aware of Edward speaking to you with a little fuzziness around the edges, as your mind allows itself to be more fully open to the experience.
After each session I felt very happy and comfortable, similar to a great night out in the company of good friends and slept well on the evenings, like someone with no troubles.
I believe the word “hypnosis” is either misleading or there is a general lack of understanding on what it consists of.
All Edward does is bringing you into a calm state of mind where your awareness is enhanced so that you can focus better on the goals you want to set up for yourself.
A strange relaxed feeling I had never experienced before. I was frustrated at doing things I shouldn’t have been doing like having my mouth open when eating and talking over people.
I feel I am doing these things less. Not there yet but getting there. I would recommend anyone who has similar problems to go to Edward
I had a big hope in the therapy with Edward, and on the other hand I was a little concerned as I had little idea and knowledge about it. A friend of mine got over acrophobia by hypnosis so I thought I should give a go.
Edward is very welcoming, and listens to me very carefully first. And he approached my problems considering my concerns I had against the hypnosis. The more I talked to him the more I felt the benefit and effect of his hypnotherapy. I managed the fear and anxiety when I had a job interview.
I was in despair, having never really properly shaken post natal depression since the birth of my first child. I had got over the issues of low mood and hopelessness but was left unable to cope and stay calm in stressful or difficult situations. I lost my cool regularly and was frequently stressed and upset.
I am now able to remain calm and help my son through his frustration, tiredness and confusion. I have a better relationship with him, my husband and parents.
Edward has helped me to become a better parent and a happier person. It’s like a door in me was closed and he has opened it- letting in so much good stuff.
Until I met Edward I don’t think I had really truly experienced the full joy of being a parent. Now, I enjoy my son every day – even when times are tough. And I feel proud of the parent I have become.
It was a truly life changing experience. WISH I had known years ago.
I was an absolute mess. MY life was at a standstill and a total mess. Since seeing Edward. I cannot believe how my life, myself , have changed. I finally see me!! And!! I am proud of me.
I went to Edward because of an Alcohol problem. I was a total mess and he was my last resort. I had been to many different councillors, meetings etc. Some telling me I was insane ,Schizophrenic and an Alcoholic. But they never really got to the root of the problem.
Where Edward was totally different. He didn’t want to know about about the ins and outs of my past. I didn't have to sit and go through EVERYTHING IN THE PAST!
He is truly an AMAZING PERSON with a truly WONDERFUL GIFT. I thank you Edward for helping me to find me. That little 5 year old is listening to me and that special little man is always in the back ground with kindness.
I thank you Edward with all my heart and my family do too.
It really is remarkable. Over a very short time I feel happier, more relaxed, content with myself, and a more rounded person.
Gone are my palpitations, occasional panic attacks, and those adrenalin rushes that left me feeling nervous and on edge.
