Testimonials

After giving up on counselling after many years, I made a conscious decision that I never wanted to be counselled again. Eighteen months later and after a chance meeting with John I decide to give counselling one more try and my faith in counselling was restored. That was nine months ago and I am in a better place now thanks to him. It takes a special kind of person to be a counsellor and that's why John is so good at what he does. He cares about his clients, it's not just an occupation to him and that's the difference to being a good counsellor and a mediocre one. Thankyou.

I needed to sort my life out, I did some research and found a local Hypnotherapist John Mill.
I started on my journey to take myself apart and rebuild myself step by step with John’s help
using counselling and hypnosis.  
It's like reprogramming your mind so you can start living your life, I never look back it's been great making changes in my life, it's helped me with so much. I am motivated and confident, relaxed and happy, more positive and it's helped to relieve my depression.
I learnt to understand comfort eating and what triggers it and how to control it and my sleep
pattern is now excellent.
John is a very dedicated professional and he is very passionate about his work.
John is friendly and a very understanding therapist. I feel very comfortable and relaxed when working out my issues with John. I am amazed with the results we have achieved. I have learnt a great deal about myself and all my friends have noticed a difference in me.
I have started to enjoy life...
I would highly recommend John Mill.

Thank You  John.

Having worried about what to expect when I first went to see John, it was a welcome pleasure to be immediately put at ease; before me was a professional and hospitable man who assured me that we could get rid of my chocolate addiction together. Now, this was something I didn’t entirely believe; how anyone could rid me of what seemed to be a habit of a lifetime was beyond me and so it was a surprise when, just sessions later, I found myself walking past chocolate and having neither an urge to pick or eat it. I felt a pang of triumph, and knew that my sessions with John had been a success. Moreover, I realised that I wouldn’t have been able to achieve this without him; it goes without saying that he has changed my life for the better and I can say with the utmost confidence that I would return to him in the future knowing that he would fruitfully help me with any problems which needed tackling.

I had been smoking for almost 20 years with many attempts at giving up, before I approached John.  I am an asthmatic, have smoked through two pregnancies, been in hospital four times on an oxygen mask along with heavy doses of steroids, woke up through the night needing my asthma pump, walked around smelling awful, finding the money for cigarettes even if bills were waiting to be paid.  The realisation of hearing that I had spent over £40,000 on my habit didn’t put me off and I didn’t even listen when my children and the doctor asked me to stop. 
I always hated the fact that I smoked,  I hated the way the car smelt, my house smelt, bed clothes – everything smelt, yet I carried on and made myself believe I couldn’t stop, I wasn’t  strong enough to quit. 
I do not know what happened, but in January I again decided to try and quit, but I found myself having only a few one day but lots the next, I spoke out loud about my desire to quit and I knew that financially, smoking was not a necessary expense in our household budget, there simply was no money to pay for them.  I then became pregnant with my third child and the midwife referred me to a no smoking midwife, who worked with me for 6 weeks, giving me support and advice, checked my carbon monoxide levels and saliva, so quitting was the only option as I couldn’t escape.........but I still carried on for the first three weeks of seeing her, I timed cigarettes, so no evidence would be in the carbon monoxide reading and happily took all the paperwork to read and promised to call her if I was struggling.  I felt awful, I knew that smoking whilst pregnant was, in my eyes the worst thing you ever do, this little person inside of me didn’t want to smoke, they deserved a better start in life, but I couldn’t stop for longer than a day.
One day I read the leaflets the midwife gave me and I read that medical research has shown that there is a link with children who have ADHD and mothers who smoke whilst pregnant.  My eldest has ADHD and other syndromes.  That was my light bulb moment, reading that sentence changed my life and I knew that I couldn’t do this on my own, I did need extra support and guidance. 
I contacted John who was able help me, I was very nervous about seeing him and being hypnotised, I was worried it wouldn’t work and that I was incurable smoker.  He was very warm and welcoming and clearly told me what he would do. We spoke at length about my habit and I really had to think about why I was doing it and what triggers it.  I was embarrassed to admit that I couldn’t even answer the phone unless I had a cigarette in my hand.  He got me to relax and put me under, whilst calmly speaking to me.  I have absolutely no idea what was said to me but I came out of the session feeling very positive and determined never to smoke again.  John was very positive throughout the session and made me feel comfortable.
That was 2 months ago and I have not had one cigarette since.  I have had a few challenging days where I struggled, but I got through them, the old me would have nipped to the shop to buy a packet so I could have “Just one cigarette” to get me through the moment.
I am so glad I contacted John and he has been very helpful and supportive, I know that I can contact him at any time if I feel myself slipping backwards.

I have been attending hypnotherapy sessions for weight loss with John Mill for a good couple of months now and my experiences have been life changing. When we began I had very little confidence and a low self esteem. I was afraid to step on scales in fear of the numbers that I would see. I was intrigued about hypnotherapy and apprehensive at the same time. I was ashamed at what I’d allowed myself to become and above all disappointed that I hadn’t been successful in conventional dieting. John enabled me to work through all of my mixed emotions from day one. I stood on the scales in my first session and from that day I have not looked back. I have found hypnotherapy to be one of the most positive experiences I have had in life. It has been relaxing and powerful at the same time. Without consciously realizing it I was putting into practice all of the tips surrounding food habits that John was recommending. He has enabled me to lose weight without feeling that I am on a strict diet, he has restored my confidence and taught me how to banish my negative thoughts I have suffered surrounding exercise. In achieving this I have been motivated to exercise daily which has been a tremendous boost to my health and of course weight loss. Throughout this John has never judged me he has been supportive and has reminded me of the power of positive thought. I am excited to continue my journey to reach the size I want to be and for once I really feel that I will achieve it. I would gladly share more of my experiences with anyone considering hypnotherapy with John Mill.

I was suffering from extreme anxiety and decided to try hypnotherapy as a last resort as I was desperate not to go down the prescription drug route. My initial scepticism surrounding hypnotherapy soon disappeared. After just one first session with John I felt calmer and better equipped to deal with what was a tough period in my life. As the sessions continued, so too did my ability to keep the anxiety in check and John became a mentor and trusted confident whose methods were both professional and, most importantly, worked. I am safe in the knowledge that, should the need arise, John will be on hand to ensure my new found freedom from anxiety continues.

John Mill helped me a few months ago when I was going through a really difficult time in my life. He was always calm, kind and sensitive and went to great lengths to guide me through the process of trying to overcome my phobia. He had a knack of knowing exactly how I was feeling, and I would recommend him to anyone needing help with a phobia or worrying problem.

Thank you John for your time and help on Saturday the 4th September. I am smoke free now and thoroughly enjoy being smoke free. My determination is greater now than ever as my Aunt lost her battle against Cancer, after years and years of smoking, on Sunday the 5th Sept 2010. A very HUGE thank you John. God bless you.

Hi John, Hope you are well, I just wanted to say a massive thank you not only for helping me to stop smoking but my God for giving me the most relaxing few days of my life!!! I was so chilled I didn't recognise myself last week after the session. I had the weirdest dreams that night but slept like never before it was amazing. I feel totally free from smoking, now and again I get a bit agitated and cross that I have stopped for some odd reason but it has been pretty easy so I actually believe you DO have a magic wand!! I almost want to start again so I can come back for the session!!! Thank you sooo much for helping to free me because that is how I feel.....at the moment! Thank you thank you thank you

Hello John, As promised, thought I'd drop you a line to let you know how things have gone. Well the headline news is that I've not smoked at all. It been somewhat curious though, as I've craved them desperately, visualised them loads, but at no point has actually having one seemed an option. Hard work yes, uncomfortable yes, but at risk of failing, not really. My attitude towards the cravings is one of intrigue, almost as though I'm a third person watch this battle of the mind run its course - It’s strangely fascinating. Thanks,

Dear John, I would like to thank you for the support and help you have given me. I walked out beaming and still am!! (Got into car and the song on the radio was ‘Bruno Mars - Just the Way You Are’ )

Couldn't' have planned it if I tried. I promise no one is going to burst my bubble again - after a very long journey I feel I have finally been re united with ME thanks to you and my pals.

I wrote the members of our weight group a poem each tailored for them and I decided I would write you one for fun as well.

Enjoy ~

You are fixer, fix people that's what you do.

We came into you broken an blue,

You listened we spoke then we did some listening too,

We thought it would be all tick-tock, tick-tock but that wasn't true!!

You fixed us up mate and made us better, you are a fixer, fix people that's what you do.

You gave us the tools to continue the work,

You gave us back, full of belief & self worth,

We looked deep within and began to shed our old ways,

With it shone the beauty and the light we so very craved.

You fixed us mate - that much is true,

For which we are all eternally grateful to you.

You are fixer, fix people that's what you do.
