Anxiety, Panic and Phobias

(Agoraphobia) "Last Sunday afternoon I decided I had to make a real effort and do something. So I went out! just for a drive around locally, but I did it. Then in the evening I drove to woods at the side of the Loch with my dog and took her for a walk, and then drove around a bit more. I've been doing this 2 or 3 times every day since. A few times I have felt a bit panicky, but nothing like I was before, and I seem to be able to deal with it now and am enjoying my new found freedom after 20 months of being cooped up. I think I just needed a push in the right direction and to believe in myself a bit more. Whether or not this is what you intended to do, it's what you've done and I can't thank you enough."
(Agoraphobia) "Have tried many times, with many therapies to overcome my problems. The hypnotherapy sessions and the skills I have been taught to do on my own are beginning to help me see real progress for the first time in over four years. I am happier, more contented in myself and can perceive a life without the problems now. John has been most helpful, patient and supportive throughout my treatment."
(Agoraphobia) "The next step I am now going to be doing, is heading into the town in various stages. I actually like getting to that spot and enjoy walking past it. General anxiety seems to be diminishing on a daily basis, and I feel I am putting in good groundwork and am pleased with the results."
(Agoraphobia) "Very satisfied by John Moonie's professional approach and caring attitude. With his help I feel a lot more confident in situations I found difficult or impossible. I have managed to go into a village 20 miles away and walk around the shops quite happily so I relish the challenges I now face."
(Anxiety) "Very thought-provoking - from a start position of scepticism, but badly wanting an improvement to my anxiety levels. I have found the sessions stimulating and very rewarding."
(Anxiety) "I am delighted that I eventually sought help to overcome my anxiety that I lived with for years. This treatment has made a huge difference to my life and I am sure that it will continue to do so. Money well spent!"
(Anxiety) "John is a professional person who is easy to accept and trust".
(Anxiety/Emetophobia) "Feel fantastic now. I feel so much more in control of my feelings, thoughts and mood and without this I couldn't have ever hoped to achieve so much and feel so much better."
(Anxiety/Panic attacks) "I had given up all hope of ever feeling relaxed and happy again before making an appointment to have hypnotherapy. Anxiety had taken over my life and I just cannot believe the difference I feel now. Look forward to a more positive future."
(Anxiety/Physical symptoms) "Have never known how to relax, and it is a great feeling. Well on the way to a new ME! Thank you for everything. I have really enjoyed my sessions."
(Blushing) "Feeling much more positive about the future. Useful to learn self hypnosis techniques for other situations as well. Wish I had done this years ago!"

(Panic attacks) "Just the fact that I have been given a number of tools to help me day to day, has helped me greatly over and above the hypnotherapy."

Stop Smoking

"It’s good news - (we) have not had a cigarette since the last one half an hour before we met with you. We came home and threw out the remaining cigarettes and ash-trays as you recommended. We have both been surprised at how easy it has been this time round, much easier than using the patches. Thanks for your help I have to say I was a bit sceptical before hand however would now recommend this method and yourself to anybody else trying to stop smoking."
"How did you do it? It worked!"
"I am absolutely thrilled with the results of my hypnotherapy! I have gone from being a long term smoker who couldn't imagine life without cigarettes to a happier, healthier non smoker in the space of 2 hours!

I will thoroughly recommend his form of treatment to anyone who wants to give up smoking, it may well have saved my life."

"Very pleased with outcome so far. I still have a long way to go yet but feel these sessions have made a huge difference."
"I must say that the first few days were rather peculiar with no real effort required by me to keep off the cigs. The trend has continued and I now believe that the last thing I would ever do to myself would be smoke a cigarette. I laugh at the thought. The CD has been a great help in developing a more relaxed self. It took a few listens listens to actually absorb what was being said although I haven't listened to it in a week. I hope this is the start of the rest of my life without cigarettes."

My son and husband have also given up with me, so with the money we will save, this time next year we will be able to buy a nice car. Thanks again for your help."
(Smoking/alcohol) "I have only been using my tape for about ten days and I guess this is the percentage improvement up to now (60%). I hope it will continue to improve over the next few weeks.
