Hypnotherapy
My husband & I both had hypnotherapy for weight loss after I had such amazing success with Jim to stop smoking with his hypnotherapy. Again, Jim was brilliant & took time to get to know my husband, he seemed like an old friend to me anyway. Since having the hypnotherapy we have both lost weight & it has changed our eating habits for the better. We are no longer over eating & having to clear a plate of food! We are without realising just choosing smaller portions of food & eating intentionally! Things we have both struggled with in the past! I can’t recommend Jim highly enough! More...

Working with Jim was great. He helped me get to the heart of my issue in a kind way and helped me resolve it. I would (and have!) recommend him to anyone.

Reply from Jim Brittain
Hi John and thank you for this review. I am sorry that you are still smoking, this is upsetting and obviously unusual, as I would not get the large amount of referrals I do if my clients were not successful. As we discussed, there is a misconception that many people think that hypnosis takes things away (like smoking). What hypnosis does is gives you the options, tools and motivation to help you to succeed. This way it becomes permanent easy and enjoyable and you can take the credit and pride of success.

Have been suffering with anxiety for nearly 20 years and have tried various techniques with varied success. Jim is very easy to talk with and has a laid back approach. His therapy has helped me greatly and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend! More...

A friend suggested that I should speak to James as I was suffering with severe anxiety and mood swings. I had a telephone conversation with him and he suggested some hypnotherapy. I had five sessions and cannot recommend this highly enough! Such a down to earth man and very easy to talk to. I now feel amazing and more like the person I used to be. More...

Hypnotherapy
Jim was very engaging & I liked that he supplied information & reached out to me. Everything was well planned & information given. The day of the appointment went well, I had some IT issues but he worked around this & sent out another link. The hypnotherapy worked amazingly well. I’ve had no cravings for a cigarette & I smoked between 30-40 cigarettes daily for many years! I smell better, I feel better & I have a heap more time with my family! All thanks to Jim! I can’t thank him enough! Would 100% recommend him, he is a genuinely lovely person as well as very professional! More...

Quitting Smoking
Stopping smoking using willpower alone is really hard. Only 6% who attempt this method are successful. If you truly want to quit, I can help you give it up easily and painlesslyStopping smoking using willpower alone is really hard. Only 6% who attempt this method are successful. If you truly want to quit, I can help you give it up easily and painlessly. Only one session is needed which lasts between 90 minutes and 2 hours.
Getting rid of phobias
Phobias can be about anything. I have seen people with phobias rPhobias can be about anything. I have seen people with phobias ranging from fear of telegraph poles and specific vegetables to spiders and dogs etc. Sadly people with phobias can feel ashamed and are often ridiculed by others. People with phobias are not broken, in fact they are working perfectly well, all that is needed is gentle reprogramming. Phobia cessation takes between 1 and 3 sessions.
Weight loss
Most of us know that diets don’t work, if they did, the diet industry would go bust! I am proud of my success rate, and have helped hundreds to lose weight easily and permanently over the years. I have different packages for weight loss depending upon your needs.
Anxiety relief
When we are anxious we cannot turn our brain off! We are often thinking about things that haven’t happened yet, and rarely do happen! The techniques that I use calm that mental turmoil for good.
Confidence building
How we talk to ourselves governs how we feel about ourselves. Some of the most successful people lacked confidence before success, Oprah Winfrey, John Lennon and Hilary Swank for example. I can share techniques thaHow we talk to ourselves governs how we feel about ourselves.
