I had a stroke nearly 3 years ago brought on by pressure of varying types. Had trouble sleeping etc. Couldn’t drive so contacted Darren who came to me. After 2 sessions i felt completely different. If i have any reoccurrence of sleep problems all i do is play Darren’s recording and i am away before the end of the message.So I continue to benefit from my sessions with Darren nearly 3 years later.

I’ve suffered with anxiety for years and as I’ve got older it had unfortunately got worse until I walked into Darren’s office and had my first hypnotherapy session about a month ago. I was at the end of my tether and researched hypnotherapist experts and came across Darren and wow what an impact it has made. I’ve had my second session and can honestly say it has done wonders. Also Darren sends you the recordings which you can listen to which have been amazing! 100% recommend Darren !! More...

There seemed to be so many hypnotherapists out there all saying they can help you to stop smoking, I spoke to a few but having spoke to Darren something told me that he was the one. He had great reviews but having smoked for 35 years, 20 a day, I was a little skeptical. I had a really good chat with Darren on the phone before we met, he really took the time to understand my situation, what I had going on in my life, and why I wanted/needed to give up. He reassured me from moment one and gave me confidence that I could give up. We arranged a date/time, he sent me some information to read to help me to prepare for the big day. I then turned up having just finished a box of cigarettes, 2 hours later I walked out of his office a non smoker. It literally was that quick and easy. Darren is a lovely guy, he helped me to feel comfortable and at ease from moment one. I am now TWO months on and I haven't smoked!!! He sent me a range of support material after our meeting but other than the odd pang I had literally had no withdrawal symptoms whatsoever, and dare I say, it has been EASY not smoking. This guy is the real deal, it does require a tiny bit of willpower at times but do as he suggests and any urges pass before you know it. I cannot thank Darren enough and would 100% recommend him to anyone and everyone. If you want to give up smoking you CAN do it, Darren makes it easy, give him 2 hours of your life and he'll change it for you, it will be the best thing you have ever done and will change your life. Thank you so much Darren. More...

I had my first session with Darren yesterday! My experience was: ✅ He is professional. ✅ He is non-judgmental. ✅ The office is accessible from the train station (11-minute walk). ✅ Comfortable space. Socially and culturally, I grew up in a household where men should not show vulnerability. With Darren, he provides a safe space for you to work on yourself. This is refreshing. While hypnosis often has a negative connotation of others controlling you, I realized during my first session that this is completely false. Darren is your guide throughout the session, but you yourself will be in control, and that's where significant changes start. I am looking forward to more sessions. More...

We took our 10 year old son to see Darren to help him overcome a fear he developed following a fall from the high bar during his gymnastics training. He only needed one session with Darren followed by listening to the recording a few times a week. Not only has he overcome his fear but he also has his love of gymnastics back with his new found confidence. I would recommend Darren and hypnotherapy to anyone who is looking to help their child over come a fear. We can’t thank you enough Darren! More...

First of all, I am doing this review 2 years after my sessions with Darren. I decided to try hipnosis as a last resource to treat anxiety. I didn’t do hipnosis before at all and, to be honest I couldn’t even find out what was causing the severe anxiety i was suffering. I remember sending my first email to Darren whilst I was on holiday in a pretty island reading a book. And I was, at that particular time struggling to breath because the increasing anxious state. Who could be suffering anxiety on holiday right?? Well…that was me. I had two sessions with him and I must say since then I haven’t had any anxiety symptoms at all even though I went through heavy workload, family issues etc that could, potentially lead to anxiety. I heavily recommend Darren and the hipnosis treatment to fix anxiety rather than go into pills that won’t help in the long term. I am even considering hipnosis to help with weigh loss and eating habits. Be open minded about hipnosis. Thank you Darren, you are the best. More...

This is my second round of hypnosis the first with another practitioner who was great but Darren has worked wonders in just one session. Having reached out with a fear of flying and being two weeks out from my first ever flight, I really thought I was about to miss my first holiday abroad due to the levels of anxiety I was experiencing. In just one consultation and a one hour session I am no longer anxious and so excited for my first flight, it doesn’t feel real to say it out loud and being skeptical myself meant I was wary of telling others how well it has worked. I’m now two days out from that first big flight and the anxiety is nowhere to be found. I cannot thank Darren enough and will recommend him to anyone who will listen. More...

I’ve smoked minimum 20 a day for around 17 years now. Sometimes up to 60 a day. I have never really tried to give up because I always felt it was fruitless, I’d buy a vape and just end up smoking that in between cigarettes. I have had one session with Darren, 5 days ago now and I haven’t smoked or vaped since. What I’m most surprised about is I’m not craving it. Hand on heart, I think “I’d normally have a cigarette right about now” but that thought passes in seconds. So so happy. Thanks again More...

I saw Darren for hypnotherapy to stop smoking. I’d tried everything to stop and was really sceptical, but also I guess I was scared it wouldn’t work. 2 years down the line, still 100% smoke free but even more weird - I feel like I’ve never smoked! Nothing in me ever wants to smoke again. I’m not triggered by anything and honestly can’t remember what it was like to smoke. Darren changed mine and my husbands lives forever and I couldn’t be more grateful. What an incredible guy! Thanks Darren! More...

I was recommended to Darren by a friend who was helped with his smoking addiction after trying everything - which worked. I was very sceptical Darren could even help as I have such a severe anxiety towards my phobia . I emailed Darren and had a very friendly call just hours after enquiring and my appointment was weeks (on a weekend in December also!!) after my first enquiry. After one consultation and then one full session I have been able to confront my phobia with no anxiety and in confidence - Darren has given me many tools I also use in other anxious times in my life. Darren is always on the end of an email/call to advise and is very caring about you reaching the end goal. I couldn't recommend Darren enough and have already recommending him to everyone I know.
