Mark James Hypnotherapy

Mark Barrett was an unexpected find for me and has become not only a trusted professional who I highly recommend, but also someone who I personally highly regard. I fully intend to return to Mark in the future to treat a different type problem than what I originally went to him for. I initially chose Mark over other qualified and experienced hypnotherapists for his friendly face and calming voice - it is important to feel at ease especially when you take a risk of opening up to a complete stranger! My priority was to find some way of coping better with fibromyalgia, alongside the debilitating effects of depression and anxiety arising from a prolonged period of chronic pain, a life-changing episode in my life. The approach Mark took was to focus on praising the positives (however small or insignificant they may have seemed to me), looking forwards rather than backwards. His methods were safe and non-invasive, whilst gently challenging with goal setting, he was informative and educational to help aid my understanding of why certain things are important for recovery. With Mark’s gentle demeanour and calming influence, I felt more incentivised to commit to my regular daily meditation recording and to try hard to focus on my goals, but never felt judged or criticised if they weren’t met, only ever happily surprised when he helped me to realise where I had in fact achieved other goals instead - all positive reinforcement. My attitude towards my pain began to alter, so I could better accept my physical limitations, yet feel more positive about striving to keep trying to do the things I had feared. I did not know what to expect but I can honestly say that Mark has helped guide me through one of the darkest times of my life when I had otherwise given up hope. I would urge anyone looking for a safe way to get help to just get in touch with Mark, hear what he has to say and judge for yourself! More...

I have been seeing Mark for 16 weeks now and I can honestly say that when I walked through his doors on week 1 I never thought I would be where I am today! My mindset, consistency, anxiety and low mood have all made an incredible change and I can genuinely say that Mark has played a fundamental part in that. I was definitely a sceptic when it came to hypnotherapy, however I had nothing to lose and it turns out quite a lot to gain (apart from weight because I am 22lb down). I am forever grateful for Mark James hypnotherapy for quite frankly changing my life... thank you More...

When I started my sessions with Mark, I was commencing lock down on my own and wasn't sure how this was going to affect me. I'm pretty good at motivating myself, being organised and proactive, so I wasn't sure how these sessions would benefit me. However, I've definitely gained valuable knowledge and support in not dwelling on negative aspects of my past, moving forward and gaining confidence to believe in myself and what I can achieve in my future. Mark provides amazingly relaxing sessions which not only involve the hypnotherapy section, but also focus on positive aspects of the past week. Mark also encourages you to schedule positive actions for the forthcoming week (although this may be specific to the treatment I've received). I've also commented to Mark on how relaxing and soothing his voice is during treatments. I highly recommend Mark's treatments which can all be delivered via Skype. You may be apprehensive or pessimistic, but if you are struggling, why not give it a go, what have you got to loose? More...
