I am so glad that I was recommended Phil as my Therapist. He is BRILLIANT. From my very first Zoom session with him, I felt at ease and I was confident in his ability to help me with my Alcohol Problem.
He helped me to change my way of thinking around my issues and has given me the tools and confidence to "help myself".
Phil is very calm and reassuring and he has a very soothing voice. He is super generous with his time and goes above and beyond to help me when I'm struggling . Thank you Phil for giving me my life back .

Phil helped me with a serious fear of flying- I hadn’t been on a plane for about 5 years and had restricted all travel to trains/boats if at all. After some sessions of both hypnotherapy and talking therapies I was prepared to fly for a family holiday and I felt a lot more calm and in control during the build up. I managed both flights well including turbulence and I credit Phil’s proactive and solution focused approach for this. Thank you! More...

I can’t say enough good things about Nirvana. She’s the first and only therapist I’ve ever connected with in a meaningful way, and our sessions are truly reframing the way I think. She has a unique ability to challenge me exactly when it’s necessary, pushing me to grow while making me feel safe and understood. For the first time, therapy feels like it’s making a real difference in my life. I’m grateful to have found someone so skilled and committed to my journey. More...

Phil's amazing. He's helped me unpick so many things, guiding me in understanding that actually, a lot of it is no longer a problem and giving me tools to navigate ongoing situations so that they are really not a problem either, I just have to remind myself that I'm worth it. And I am! 😃

Hypnotherapy with Nirvana - I am someone who has really struggled to fully relax and switch off, I like to be doing - however I was SO relaxed in the session and surprised at how relaxed I became so quickly. I LOVED the spirit guide at the end. Integration after has allowed me to put together some puzzle pieces that are quite interesting and I slept so so well that night! I struggle with skin inflammation, that’s a clear sign to me that my stress levels are a little high and I noticed the day after our session my skin inflammation had gone down a lot which I was no expecting! Overall, I’d highly recommend! More...

I was really reluctant to go into therapy but I have been seeing Nirvana for a while now and I have not looked back since. My thought patterns are becoming noticeably healthier, I feel generally lighter, I look forward to sessions and even though we are at times dealing with incredibly traumatic and difficult topics, that I felt I didn’t want to unearth, Nirvana deals with these in such a tactful and sensitive way that I never feel overwhelmed or that I am obliged to talk about stuff I don’t want to, but yet I always end up wanting to say more and ending the sessions feeling better. I am dealing with life situations much better & even my family and friends have noticed a difference in me since they started. Thank you Nirvana! More...

I had my first session with Phil and all I can say is wow. The support I received was incredible, I am looking forward to more on going sessions with Phil and If I can feel this incredible after just one session I'm excited to see where the therapy can take me, I would 100% recommend lavender & Phil!

Practically and empathetically encouraging, enabling steps to change the lense through which I view the world and the way I can tackle issues, whilst increasing my understanding.
Hayley
Therapist
I can honestly say working with Phil has been the best thing I have ever done. Phil provides a safe space, he makes you feel so comfortable even when things are uncomfortable to talk about. I always leave his sessions feeling a new sense of motivation and determination that I can achieve anything I want. It's all about understanding how we think and how we apply that to our lives. I would highly recommend Phil and I look forward to continuing my journey ahead. More...

Relationship and Marriage Counselling
Karmel was a lovely soul! But I felt she was very ill equipt to deal with my problem with little or no experience - I felt sorry for her, she was nervous, didn’t have enough charge on her phone. It took me so much courage to disclose and open up to someone I’d never met and I felt that I was opening up on things because of the awkwardness of the whole think. I’m not upset or angry as I feel it offered a learning experience for her and me. Unfortunately for me I k ow this is not an experience I would ever do again, I hope Karmel got more out of it than I did with love and kindness- id wish I’d donated the £38 to charity instead.

Massage Therapy
If I could get away with doing zero stars I would. I went for a massage after being told by who I can only assume is his wife that this guy was a massage therapist and could fix the damage in my back. Turns out he’s actually just some bloke with a massage machine from Amazon and a bit of baby oil! I wasn’t given anything to cover my modesty whilst he was insisting I took off my lower half for him to massage which I refused on all 4 occasions as I was purely there for back shoulders and neck, I was on a massage table in the conservatory which was fine but any time I’ve been for a massage I’ve always been given a blanket or something to cover myself over with and NEVER have I EVER had a machine used on me, this guy had no professional lotions nor did have a single clue about the anatomy of muscles, he burnt me with hot stones I never asked him to use and then proceeded to trap a nerve in my neck, back and arms after he tried to crack my back despite not being a licensed chiropractor. I came away more stressed and tense than I went in and I’ve spent the last week in agony and I paid him £38 for the privilege. I’ve now got to pay out again to rectify the damage caused by him as I can’t feel my fingers after he angered the nerve I’ve just mentioned. This guy is less than an amateur and said he didn’t usually advertise his massage therapy and prefers the counselling. I was there for a 60 minute session he massaged my back for 20 minutes and then asked me what I wanted to do because I didn’t want him to massage my legs. Asked me to sit in cobra pose while he put his knuckles in my shoulders as it made it easier for him! He then decided I should have a therapy session with him and then decided as I sat down that we should probably do some stretches, I stood up and he corrected my footing and we didn’t do a single stretch. Neither of which I’ve ever done at any previous professional massage relaxation or sport. He then started to question if I’d ever been hypnotised and suggested I have hypnotherapy! There is absolutely no way this guy is formally qualified in anything. He doesn’t appear to be registered with BACP or the BPS nor is there any formal qualifications for massage therapy noted anywhere. I’ve wasted my money and my time and now I’m in agony and have to remain this way for another week until I can see a professional. He didn’t ask me to sign anything, didn’t ask about medical history or even if I was pregnant. There was nothing formal about this session at all. Stay as far away from this company as possible especially for massages! More...

Nirvana has qualities to connect and relate to individual needs and bases her therapy around them.

I can't stress enough how beneficial it was giving therapy a chance and investing in improving my mental health. I knew I needed it but wasn't sure if it was going to be for me - I was wrong.
Nirvana is excellent to work with, judgement free and I already have tools that are helping me improve my mindset. I'm so glad I went ahead and gave it a chance - I would recommend Nirvana to anyone!

I’ll keep it short and sweet as I’m not so great with words… Nirvana is very professional, trustworthy, understanding and made me feel so comfortable about sharing my personal life with someone I’ve just met on a zoom call. Worth the money and would highly recommend to anyone who needs mental health support in their life. 😊👍🏼 More...

I was really struggling with anxiety and found myself in a vicious cycle, I was just getting worse and worse. Hypnotherapy helped me see that my life didn't have to be this way and gave me the reset I needed to be able to move forward and get on the right track to being the old me again.
Charlotte
Therapist
Wow, I have had hypnotherapy before but nothing like this with lavender therapy. The whole first session I have had was great from start to finish, I’m very much looking forward to continuing my sessions and becoming a better person and overcoming all the anxiety and stress going on in my life.
