Testimonials from some of my Clients
Aggie, Business Owner, Manchester
Barry is absolutely phenomenal at his job. I went to him with a number of issues i needed to work through such as stress and overthinking and I had been trying to resolve on my own and wasn't succeeding very well.
Straight away he made me feel at ease by his extremely happy and positive demeanor. Over the course of 8 sessions we talked and worked through the problems I was facing. I felt I could really open up to Barry without any judgement and he taught me techniques that I will now take through life with me.
8 weeks later and I feel like I have control of my life. Before, I was getting angry and wound up at the smallest of things but now I know how to control my emotions before outbursts happen. I have control over the stress I experience and the negative thoughts I have.
He also helped me take a massive step in my life at coming off antidepressants as it was clear I no longer needed them. I couldn't have done this without him and I feel amazing now.
Barry and I now have catch ups every so often to see how I am doing and I know he really genuinely cares about you as an individual not just as another client. I look forward to my catch ups with Barry as it’s like talking to an old friend you've not seen in ages.
Will always recommend Barry to everyone :)
Tim, CEO, London
I have been talking with Barry now for 3/4 months. Initially I wanted to talk to Barry about a drop in drive, commitment and apathy that I was feeling towards a lot of my goals. Barry has been pivotal in helping me look at the bigger picture of who I am, what my goals are, what I actually want to do and ultimately taking small steps and stacking the bricks in my favour and becoming the person who I want to be; not only designing what those goals are but then helping me be accountable to the things that I said I would do.
I feel more in control. It is down to those daily practices, grounding on a regular basis and the routines that Barry has helped to design and put in place, influencing the choices that I make on a regular basis.
I wanted to talk to somebody who understands what it's like to work remotely, by yourself, for many hours of the day. Barry has helped immensely in terms of treating work as work and my own time outside of family and friends as what it should be, and prioritising that to being a lot more balanced, a lot more centred.
I feel a lot more like the person that I want to be but I also have a lot more perception in terms of what my goals are and the progress that I am making towards those goals.
Libby, Director, Cornwall
I highly recommend Barry. I reached out to him during an extremely challenging period of my life involving a major relocation and health crisis. After 18 months of lockdown, 3 young kids & managing/owning 2 businesses I was burnt out, as well as feeling lonely and lost in a new country.
I like that Barry uses science based techniques, while remaining extremely compassionate and insightful. He approaches serious topics with gravity but has a light hearted warmth too; all these qualities really elevate his role as mentor and counselor. His experience in this field is clear; he has a wide range of tools to share and his sessions are well structured, with time spent discussing pertinent issues, as well as focusing on various exercises to support mental health. I realize maintaining mental health is not dissimilar to maintaining physical health; it takes time, effort, practice and support. I honestly wish I'd started this programme years ago!
Jonny, Founder and Director, Leeds
Before working with Barry, I was struggling badly with my mental health. I was suffering from low confidence at work, in my personal life and it was affecting everything.
I was really self-critical. I would beat myself up over common mistakes, would give myself a hard time over the smallest thing going wrong, and was constantly talking down to myself, making my confidence even worse.
Since working with Barry, I've had a dramatic transformation. I'm making more time for my self-care through an arsenal of techniques he has shown me. This has led to better confidence, better productivity and better results in my personal and professional life across the board.
Barry is professional and awesome at what he does, can't recommend him enough.
Maria, Account Director, Bath
I was advised a few years ago to look into cognitive behavioural therapy to help manage ADD. I finally took the leap when I saw Barry´s advertisement a few months ago and I am so glad that I did.
From the very start Barry has been very understanding, supportive, flexible and friendly. He has genuinely listened to my issues and has guided me, pushed me and helped me through them by breaking them down into more manageable pieces.
The therapy has already made a huge difference in my day to day life. I look forward to every session and have had an surprisingly good experience with hypnosis. I really like having the sessions through Zoom as I can be in my own home when they take place.
I would 100% recommend getting in touch and see if he can help you.
Nicholas, Company Director, Bath
Thank you.
That was a great session.
I haven't actually relaxed for years and it felt amazing (sorry for crying!).
You are very, very good.
Helen, Solicitor, London
Barry has helped me rethink how I live my life and take control of the moment. This has improved my anxiety and focus levels in and out of work. I would highly recommend his one on one sessions where he gives very practical and tailored advice due to him 1.listening; 2.knowing his stuff; and 3.genuinely caring. Thanks Barry!
Sarah, Media Production Manager, Bath
My sessions with Barry have been really life changing. Barry is a very caring hypnotherapist and has worked wonders on the issue I had.
He has also given me some invaluable techniques to help me cope day to day, which continue to have such a positive effect on me. I generally feel much calmer and happier, which has helped in all aspects of my life, not just what I was having the sessions about.
I can’t recommend Barry highly enough.
Beth, Curriculum Lead, London.
I genuinely cannot express enough how grateful I am for everything you've taught me. I've done so many counselling sessions with people over the years that just haven't worked or taught me anything. It's just been talking about me and leaving feeling I've had a good cry but am unable to help myself.
The way you explain everything and the processes you've taken me through have been life changing and I feel I can finally have control over the things I can control and not worry to catastrophic levels about the things I can't control.
Liz, Health Consultant, Bath
I can highly recommend Barry.
He has taught me strategies to manage work / life balance pressure and stresses helping me to improve my resilience and reduce anxiety.
Thank you so much for your support. Highly recommended.
Tom, Commercial Photographer and Business Owner, Bath
Having never tried hypnotherapy before I was very curious. Barry was brilliant at putting me at ease and helping me to focus on what I wanted to change. Since my sessions with Barry my productivity has increased massively and I now have taken back control of my procrastinating and smartphone use! Highly recommended.
Annabel, PhD student, Bath
Barry makes each session genuinely enjoyable with his kind and open demeanour, I feel like I can trust him with any topic. His session timings are completely flexible, which allows me to work them in between my work and university life.
I also love the things he suggests for me to do in between sessions: he is appreciative of my busy schedule, and always helps me to work out how I can work them in to ultimately help myself.
Louise, Norwich
We contacted Barry after my 16 year old son was taken into hospital with a bad anxiety attack. This was very frightening for all of us as it came out of the blue!
Barry was amazing with my son and due to the pandemic spoke to him via zoom link. From the moment my son spoke to Barry he felt better and able to feel calmer again.
Barry taught him ways to deal with the anxiety attacks and as the weeks went on they became less frequent. Barry was amazing and my son found him easy to talk too and very understanding.
My son is a lot better now and enjoying life once again.
Thank you Barry.
Jon, Warrington
Just wanted to say, I listened to Ideal Future-Self recording before cricket today. Went in nervous but I stayed confident and ended up getting 40 runs and helping my team to victory.
Thanks.
Your help has been invaluable.
University Student, Bath
I was a little nervous when we first met because I did not know what to expect in the sessions but you were so kind and supportive I started to relax straight away. You helped me to break down my worries really clearly and I could see where I was going wrong and where I wasn't helping myself.
I am now controlling my anxiety much better every day and I haven't felt like that for a long time. I feel much more hopeful and excited about everything.
Thank you.
Hayesfield School, Bath
Your school insight is great.
You have very quickly understood what we needed, and what our girls needed.
Last term, the girls really responded to you. You set tasks for them to work on at home; this allowed the girls to move forward. Your support also helps our Pastoral Managers’ workload.
It also reduces parental stress, which has been much appreciated.
Secondary school, Bath
Dad rang to say life at home since lockdown was incredibly difficult and she has become a different person. She is screaming and shouting; everything they suggest or do as parents is wrong or worsens the situation.
Unpicking this, Barry found she is overwhelmed by stress relating to exams and future choices. She is a person who does not normally open up (according to Dad) but she is now willing/wanting to engage.
With one week to go before the GCSE tests finish, she is finally starting to relax, laugh and be happy. We have noticed a significant improvement in her mental health. Barry’s intervention stopped her from not only becoming school phobic/school refuser but enabled the family to function once again as a cohesive unit.
IKB School, Principal, Bristol
Just a quick note to say a big “thank you” for your sessions yesterday.
Our Year 10 group can be a really tough bunch but you engaged them fully in your 90 minute slots, which is no mean feat! Their feedback regarding your content was really positive and your energy and skill was instrumental to the success of the day.
Secondary school, Bath
The response from students has been very positive and I’m glad to say that we have had good feedback from parents and students on the workshop.
Secondary school, Bath
The talk by Barry was really interesting, it was so interesting to hear about the chemical parts of mental health, and he was a really good speaker.
Secondary school, Bath
They (the students) enjoyed the interactive bits because it made them think about their triggers etc.
Chloe, Student, Bath
I tried out the mindset technique that you taught me when I went to meet them on Saturday. It really helped very massively. I actually spoke to some people I didn't know and I felt great about it. I would not have done that before.
Charlie, Student, Bath
I have really thought about my morning routine like we discussed and tried out what we went through.
It was great! I feel much more in control of what I am doing now and I feel much more relaxed about everything.
Client, Bath
Thank you so much, your sessions have been very helpful and you have really changed how I approach my life!
The recordings are also really helpful and makes it much easier to keep on track.
Client, Bath
I've benefited a lot from my sessions with Barry and I'm continuing to see positive changes in myself by using the techniques that Barry's taught me.
Barry's approach was very welcoming and measured, it's made me realise that I do have the capacity to change the way I think, I just needed a professional to teach me how.
