"Thank you so much for your help with xxxxxx, I know you have worked hard, but it still feels like you were born with a gift. I think it was amazing that you were able to connect with an 11 year old boy in such a short space of time. You related to him on his level to help him find solutions that worked especially for him, you gave him someone to believe in, and you made it all fun! xxxxxx has had to face some very difficult situations this week and was feeling very low. Lost for help I asked him 'what do you think Duncan would say?' he immediately beamed a smile. You make me smile too, thank you!"

"I wouldn't say I was addicted to chocolate, more obsessive about it. I have conquered smoking without too much effort but somehow giving up chocolate was beynd me. Duncan just talked to me and in a very subtle way helped me understand where the motivation came from. He gave me a technique to help when I felt I had to have my chocolate "fix". From that one session I have not felt the need and I no longer even enjoy eating chocolate and actually I don't miss it. Brilliant."

"I decided to go to Ananda Healing after going through some rough waters in my personal/work life. After a lengthy conversation with both Amanda and Duncan I decided that Hypnotherapy and Healing and Chakra Balancing sessions would be the right path for me to take. Hypnotherapy with Duncan has changed my life, how I think and how my mind reacts to situations that I have not been able to deal with in the past. I like the way that my sessions are planned and based on what I need as an individual. Thanks to Duncan and his understanding of what my core issues are, I have finally started to gain back my confidence and self-esteem. I am only two sessions in and I’m sure I have quite a few to go but Duncan has taken me on a journey that has changed my outlook on life and helped me get back to the happy place I was in 10 years ago, and for that I am eternally thankful"

"I recently went through some changes both in my personal and professional lives. I discussed my issue with Duncan and he suggested trying NLP, which has been a revelation in my life. I have had several sessions with Duncan and each session has been an eye opener for me and I can say that I have learnt a lot from each session and it has helped me immensely with my personal and professional issues. I would recommend NLP with Duncan to anyone who has issues that may be buried in the past and needs these unlocking to move on. Thank you for your help."

"Duncan’s hypnotherapy was very helpful in helping to deal with my exam stress. He had a really calming presence which made me feel a lot calmer about my exams. Cannot recommend enough!"

"I thought I’d just let you know how I’m getting on, and thank you again for your help with my spider phobia! When I got home after the treatment I was restless, I did not know what to do with my newly found calmness! Whereas imagining big spiders running behind the bed normally would have sent me into panic stage, I can now lie there calmly and see my “vision” through. I have since caught a spider in our spider catcher. A certain amount of doubt is still there, a tiny knot in my tummy and a somewhat watchful eye will remain on duty tonight, but what a difference! You're the best! My gratitude, thanks and love"

"Our son Jack saw Duncan regarding his anxiety. He was struggling with his AS levels, even after studying the same level for 2 years. At the beginning of his 3rd year, as my daughter Katie sees Amanda who helps her with her ME/CFS symptoms, Amanda suggested I put Jack in Duncan's capable hands. We did this with an open mind. I wasn't with Jack, but from seeing Duncan, Jack turned round his results, stayed off anxiety drugs, and achieved high enough A level grades to obtain a place at university to study for a marine environmental science degree - where he is doing extremely well, and still not gone back to taking any prescribed drugs in order to sit his exams. We as parents are extremely happy with this outcome and the fact that he doesn't have to rely on prescription drugs, just on focusing on what Duncan taught him to achieve in his life"

""We know it worked because her attitude changed and we could discuss the subject calmly, without her running out of the room in tears""

"A phobia of spiders had been putting an edge on the excitement I was feeling about going backpacking around Asia. I'd always been scared of spiders and I knew I was likely to come across some pretty ig ones on my travels. We talked about it for one session and then I went off travelling not really thinking it would have helped much. But it did. Of course, I had some encounters with spiders and my reaction was unbelievably calm. I'm really grateful to Duncan for this."

"For anyone who is thinking about quitting smoking please consider hypnotherapy like me I was very unsure that this works but wow I can safely say it does I've now not smoked for 26 hours and the usual routine of getting up in the morning having a cigarette before I did anything didn't happen this morning. I'm not saying that I won't have a relapse as it early days but hope I don't. Thank you Duncan Batchelor for yesterday. Xx"
