The Dream Pilot

I felt very comfortable with Richard and he helped me greatly with my specific and perhaps unusual problem. He has helped to remove a mental block I have had for years.

Visiting Richard has been a fantastic, unexpected and life-changing help. Richard offered his services to me and with no expectations or preconceptions, I can honestly say he's helped me immeasurably.

I'd been suffering with a severe flare-up of Crohns disease, which had elevated my anxiety. After 4-5 sessions with Richard, including a very good audio recording listened to going to sleep, my anxiety is completely reduced and my general health and Crohns has improved considerably. For anyone with any doubt about visiting a hypnotherapist I hope you read this and take the first step to helping yourself. I am truly grateful to Richard for helping me and happily recommend him. Thank You More...

I went with our grown up son to visit Richard last year. Our son had a chronic stammer, and has had no periods of free speech since the age of 2. 5 years old. Stammering is a crippling disability. He has been desperate, and we have been desperate on his behalf, and also desperate to hear his dear voice again. He had become a loner, as felt unable to communicate in any group situations - having no voice really is horrible.

We went for an initial session together and Richard felt he could help. I was so desperate to help our son we would have tried anything. From that point on, our son attended solo.

Since that time, we have seen gradual changes in his stammer. Longer and longer sentences spoken stammer free. I have no words for the joy this gives us all. To hear his voice, his thoughts, his ideas, shared so freely, it has bought a tear to my eye regularly.

This week, we chatted for maybe five minutes, and there was no stammer. I have not had a conversation with him like that for 19 years. I am grateful beyond words.

Thank you so much, Richard, for giving us hope, for giving our son freedom and a future where he can stand up and speak, and thank you for giving him the confidence to propose to his girlfriend, knowing that he would be able to stand up in church and say his vows with confidence. Happy days! More...

I originally contacted Richard Olley in order to overcome my fear of flying, but it soon became apparent that I had issues going right back to my childhood that were affecting many aspects of my life. Several sessions later, I can genuinely say that I have been completely transformed. Richard is an absolute professional. Knowledgeable and approachable, he guided me carefully and sensitively through some difficult recollections to the point where I can honestly say I have never felt a greater sense of well-being, confidence and inner strength. Hypnotherapy is a fantastic form of therapy and I have no hesitation at all in recommending it. More...

I had been suffering from a wide variety of symptoms for about 2 years, but they recently got so bad to the point where I had such bad nausea and vomiting. I couldn't get out of bed, look at any bright screens or daylight, couldn't eat anything without being sick so consequently didn't eat, became underweight and built up a bad relationship and anxiety around food. It meant I couldn't work, go out or see friends. I had been to the doctors and hospital countless times yet they wouldn't do anything to help as my bloods and scans were normal. As my last hope I decided to see Richard which was the best decision I could have made.
Richard is very calm, welcoming and knowledgeable which made me feel at ease straight away. After just 5 sessions and 5 weeks, my life is back to normal! I have been able to eat 3 meals a day with no sickness, restart my job, and meet with friends, which is something I thought would never happen a month ago.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Richard to anyone. More...

When we first went to see Richard my son was suffering from severe anxiety, resulting in extreme panic attacks and increasingly violent and aggressive behaviour. He was no longer able to attend school. It was incredibly stressful and having a significant impact on the whole family. Having attended many sessions with various specialists in child psychology, Richard was the only person we found who my son was willing to talk to. Richard has a very calm and patient manner. My anxious son found it very relaxing to spend time with him and was finally able to discuss the issues that had been upsetting him for many years. Richard was able to help him to release his trapped fear, anger and guilt. The change in my son’s behaviour has been incredible, I have not seen him so happy and relaxed for years. He is now back at school. I cannot thank Richard enough for his help More...
