Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy Testimonials
John from Knightswood Glasgow
I have suffered from anxiety and panic attacks for years and a friend recommended hypnosis. I was a bit unsure at first but it had worked for her so I thought I would try it. After a couple of sessions there was a real improvement and after I completed the whole course I have never felt better. I would really recommend it and now feel so much better. The cognitive behaviour hypnotherapy course makes a lot of sense and the cds are very relaxing. I wish I had not wasted so many years.

I contacted Johan s I was very anxious about being a bridesmaid at my sisters wedding. I felt very anxious about being on show and did not want to let my sister down. After having this therapy I felt so much better and after completing the sessions I even looked forward to the day. It turned out that it was a brilliant day . Thank you very much

I contacted Johan as I had a big presentation to do at work and felt that I couldn’t do it.
I have always struggled with public speaking and even considered leaving my job rather than do the presentation. Johan was extremely understanding and instantly put me at ease, really getting to the bottom of how I felt, and what I hoped to achieve through hypnotherapy. We worked with a few different techniques and I felt completely in control at all times.
Despite having very little time to work with me the results were amazing! I felt a little nervous leading up to the presentation but I now knew that I could do it. On the actual day I felt really calm and focused on the job at hand. I followed all of Johan’s advice and the talk was a great success.
I would heartily recommend hypnotherapy and in particular Johan – it makes such a difference working with someone so approachable and understanding. I continue follow Johan’s advice whenever I feel anxious and will definitely return in the future!
Thanks Johan!

I contacted Johan as I was at my wits end with blushing at the least thing and as I am 42 years old I thought I would have grown out of it, but it seemed to get worse. I was a bit nervous about trying hypnosis but Johan soon put me at my ease. It was so relaxing. Even after the first session I noticed I felt calmer. And after all 6 sessions I felt loads better. I was blushing much less and when I did , I it didn’t bother me so much. I was given cds to listen to and work on my unhealthy beliefs, so it does take some effort, but it was worth it. I just feel so much better and have even applied for a new job as I feel much more confident now.
Suzanne’s experience of Cognitive Behaviour Hypnotherapy
The therapy I had with Johan was cognitive behavioural therapy combined with hypnotherapy. I had years of bad beliefs about myself and thought I was uncurable. Johan made me feel right at ease from the very first session. I saw improvements very quickly and the relaxation techniques given to me helped my mood and realeased a lot of anger. After 6 sessions I walked away feeling totally in control of my thinking and reactions to a situation. It has been the best money spent ever. I cannot thank Johan enough. A wonderful therapist and would highly reccommend to all. I can now look forward to the future and have since enroled myself in a psychology course as I found it all very interesting. Thank you ever so much!

I contacted Johan after reading about Cognitive Behaviour Hypnotherapy on her website. I was not sure which therapy to go for. I had heard of Cognitive Behaviour and knew a bit about hypnosis, but had never seen them combined, so I thought this would be ideal for me. I have had very low self esteem ever since I could remember and did not think it could be overcome, but I was open to the therapy. Johan was very welcoming and warm. She made me feel at ease straight away. The first session was very relaxing. At further sessions Johan helped me identify my unhealthy beliefs. I had never looked at things this way before. I soon noticed changes and began to be able to deal better with situations that used to terrify me. At the end of the six sessions I felt loads better. What I found great was that I was really involved and very proactive and carried out relevant tasks between sessions. I was given CDs to listen to between sessions and that really helped too. I think it is a fantastic therapy that really gets results. I can highly recommend it to anyone who really wants to change their life!

Chris from Glasgow
When I came for therapy my aim was to understand my mind better. I also wanted to be able to go out for a night out and not over drink and I wanted to be able to remember my night out.
Included in the cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy course are CDS, one for motivation and reaching goals and the others are more directly linked to the therapy.
I listened to my motivational CD every day and I felt better after listening to it.
The therapy helped me uncover why I was drinking too much and it turned out that I feared being judged negatively and I drank too much to suppress this feeling
The next step was to create a healthy belief and really reinforce that with the other CDs and also when in a difficult situation and Johan helped me do that.
The therapy involved me challenging myself which I did, in that I restricted my alcohol intake, while reinforcing the healthy belief .
Johan also recommended a book by Windy Dryden called Ten Steps to Healthy Living which I found useful.
I felt that therapy helped me to be more in control of my drinking and to feel better about myself
