Review of Bluewater Hypnotherapy from 1 May 2013
I would not hesitate to recommend Alan and Bluewater Hypnotherapy. Alan puts you immediately at ease and I have never felt as relaxed as I have during Alan's sessions. The environment is ideal and you are always fully aware during treatment. I'd imagined hypnotherapy to be like you see on the television and that I'd be put in to a trancelike state and that anything could be said or done to me without my knowledge but it really is not the case. I have enjoyed every session and benefited greatly from Alan's expertise. After four sessions I feel like a new person! I'm far more confident and positive in my out look on life and I no longer feel haunted by my past experiences. Friends and family have commented on the change in me. I only wish that I'd sought Alan's help sooner. If you are tempted to try Hypnotherapy then you couLd not be in safer or more professional hands if you were to choose Bluewater Hypnotherapy. Alan is completely passionate about his profession and extremely knowledgeable. In between sessions you are given a cd to listen to which I found extremely helpful to keep me on track with the progress I was making between one session and the next. Price wise Bluewater Hypnotherapy cannot be faulted especially when compared to the prices charged by other hypnotherapists in the area. I cannot stress enough just how truly positive my experience with Bluewater Hypnotherapy has been! Thank you Alan.

Review of Bluewater Hypnotherapy from 23 April 2013
I started hypnotherapy with Alan approx 6 weeks ago and since then I have never looked back. I cannot thank Alan enough for how I have changed as a person. I started this because of an ongoing roller coaster ride of weight gain and weight loss and since working with Alan I have lost weight, gained bags of confidence and totally change my life sytle views and choices with such a confidence its unbelievable.
It is not all about the scales its about how u look after yourself and see yourself and now no matter what day I am having I like who I am.
I wish I had met Alan along time ago but hey I have now and I will always be grateful for what I have learnt from him, his profressional, caring and kind manner are fantastic and he is an amazing mentor who is always there for you.
Hypnotherapy is a fun and relaxing process and I have enjoyed every minute.
It doesnt matter where I go in life now I will always take Alans words and smile with me and will always be eterninally grateful to him, I am now waking every day with a smile and approaching everything in life in such a better way, my family have said I am a happier, more confident person and I am always smiling.
I will and have been recommending Alan to everyone I know and meet, he is a true profressional and gentleman and it has been an absolute pleasure working with him. xx

Review of Bluewater Hypnotherapy from 12 March 2013
Over the years I have been on many team building and confidence building courses, with little results. Having recently started a new job in a senior position I decided to give hypnotherapy a try in order to gain more confidence when speaking in public, and to be honest I didn't know what to expect. Alan immediately explained what to expect in a straight forward way putting me at ease. I had a number of sessions with great results. Alan provides a professional and effective which works and continues to provide help and support outside of the sessions. Cannot recommend Alan and his services enough.

Review of Bluewater Hypnotherapy from 16 December 2012
I have always stuggled with self confidence. I have tried counselling and didn't really get any further. I thought I would give hypnotherapy a go and I am really pleased with the results. It is such a calming experience and Alan is very friendly and professional. Our discussions at the beginning of each session allow the therapy to be tailored to my needs. With Alan's help I have begun to deal with some inner demons that were stopping me from reaching my full potential. With these out the way I can now build my confidence and become the person that I am meant to be. Thank you for your help and support Alan.

Review of Bluewater Hypnotherapy from 9 October 2012
i was very sceptical about 'hypnotherapy' as i honestly believed it was mumbo-jumbo but i was really having trouble sleeping and all the doctor wanted to do was put me on some sleep disorder pills (which turned out to be anti-depressants), i was reluctant to take them but needded sssllleeepppppp. So i swallowed my sceptisim and went and after the first visit i was already sleeping better, after 4 visits i am back to sleeping really well, though still have the odd episode.

Alan is supremely professional, courteous and is clearly very very accomplished in his field, GO you wont regret it.

Review of Bluewater Hypnotherapy from 1 September 2012

I was not a natural candidate for hypnotherapy as I saw it as a bit `alternative` but my  IBS issues were such that I was willing to try anything.  Alan has helped me tremendously, removing a great deal of the symptoms, and giving me coping strategies for when they do occur. I have been able to recommend Alan to a colleague suffering similar problems and I know that he has been greatly helped.
This has beeen a really positive experience and I have no hesitation in singing Alan's praises!!!

Review of Bluewater Hypnotherapy from 12 July 2012
I have been to see Alan for two different things in the last few months - and have conquered challenges I didn't think possible. The first occasion was just before I was due to fly to Australia on my own - normally I experience panic attacks when flying - so the prospect of a long haul flight on my own was petrifying me and instead of looking forward to a trip of a lifetime - I was dreading it. Alan had been recommended to me, and I felt completely at ease from the moment I met him. By the time I flew a few days later - I felt more than ready to take on this flight! Consequently, the flight when really well - I can actually say that I even enjoyed it in parts! After this success, I went back to see Alan for quitting smoking - I have been a serial 'giverup-er' and wondered how I would fair - but I am 5 weeks in now and this has been the easiest attempt to date! Alan is a lovely chap: friendly, professional and approachable and most importantly - effective! Thanks Alan.

Review of Bluewater Hypnotherapy from 5 July 2012
I had a session of hypnotherapy with Alan recently.  Nice peaceful room and Alan listened well so the session was tailor-made for me.  He was warm and caring, calm and thoughtful, professional and ethical.  What has really impressed me though is how he has been supportive (without being intrusive) since the session.  How good it feels knowing there is someone there 'just in case'!
Excellent.  Will be recommending him to others.

Review of Bluewater Hypnotherapy from 5 July 2012
My colleague recommended Alan to me for a stomach complaint, and I wouldnt have said I was a sceptic prior to my first appointment but I certainly didnt think i would be able to achieve such immediate and comprehensive results. Alan is a first rate professional in his field and puts you most at ease from first meeting him, right through the course of the treatment. His home is well presented and very comfortable and the whole experience is both rewarding, and even enjoyable at times. I feel immeasurably more relaxed and totally comfortable in both health and mind. Couldnt recommend him enough. Thanks Alan. Jason R

Review of Bluewater Hypnotherapy from 31 March 2012

I have to admit that I was a little sceptical about hypnotherapy. I had tried counselling but my issues still remained and I had found the sessions very difficult. I decided to try hypnotherapy with Alan after hearing positive results from a friend. I was impressed at Alan’s professional and calm manner and I have never felt so relaxed before. The sessions helped me to deal with negative thinking, self-esteem, confidence and trust issues which were affecting my relationships and general life. The recordings given help to ‘top up’ between sessions and I noticed a definite positive difference in how I was managing and coping in situations which would previously had made me anxious. I would certainly recommend Alan and hypnotherapy. Thank you!

    Thank you. I loved working with you and can I say that I was a a massive cynic before I was helped with hypnotherapy. It was just something to try……I was blown over with the results. Also, I should mention that the journey doesn’t stop there, that feeling will grow and grow. I’m here if you ever fancy a booster.

Review of Bluewater Hypnotherapy from 30 March 2012

For eleven years, following a couple of bad experiences, my life has been dominated by my unreasonable fear of flying which is a necessary part of my job. Things had become so bad that I found it upsetting to look at images of the interior of aircraft and could only board with a feeling of abject terror and a heavy dose of medication. Two sessions with Alan have now completely resolved the situation – I have just completed two 12 hour flights in 6 days without the slightest concern. In fact the change was so great that I was able to sleep through the turbulent part of the flight when only a few months ago this would have left me gripping the seat in fear and probably crying my eyes out!

Thanks to Alan’s compassionate help I can now enjoy travelling once again and can happily plan trips knowing that the weeks leading up to departure will not be dominated by fear and anxiety…..Thanks Alan!

Review of Bluewater Hypnotherapy from 24 February 2012

Thank you Alan for allowing me to discover the real me! I had felt so lost for a long time and repeated rejection and put me downs had left my self esteem in tatters!
You instilled so much confidence and self belief through our sessions. You have truly given me the greatest gift of inner happiness so thank you x
For those who doubt hypnotherapy I have had anti depressants, counselling over several years but all they did was mask the symptoms. Hypno is totally about you being in control of how you want things to be be for your future….. It’s also a wonderful way to relax and reconnect with ourselves.
Alan is a very warm and hospitable host with a very calm aura, I would recommend his service to anyone considering hypnotherapy as long as you’re ready and willing to change your ways.

Review of Bluewater Hypnotherapy from 12 February 2012

I had sessions with alan as I had issues with socialising in unfamiliar groups and confidence. He listened to my concerns and made me feel totally at ease with this new experience. After only 2 sessions I was feeling the benefits. At one stage in my life I would lack confidence in going out and socialising and now I dont even think about it. His hypnotherapy helped me look at my insecurities in a new light. I have no doubt that this new found confidence could not of been achieved without Alans help. I would thoroughly recommend him to anyone who is considering hypnotherapy. :)

I have suffered from social phobia and panic attacks for years and was beginning to feel there was no hope for me. I found an advert for bluewater hypnotherapy on the internet and decided to contact Alan. I am so glad i did, Alan really listens and makes you feel at ease. After just a few sessions i feel so much more confident in myself and with Alans help i am now looking forward to achieving the goals i have set myself in life. I would highly recommend Alan to anyone

Review of Bluewater Hypnotherapy from 7 December 2011

Hi, my name is Dawn,I would like to take the time to express how I feel about Blue Water Hypnotherapy.
For those of you who have often thought about the experience of hypnotherapy ,think no more, DO IT. !!! NOW.
Alan, Came highly recommended to me, and now I am highly recommending him to all of you. Being a very capable person without confidence due to being so ashamed of my size, was killing me. I was drowning in my own self destruction, desperate for this to stop and for me to feel normal. Sharing my private, most inner thoughts with someone I had never met before did not come easy for me, Alan was instantly warming and non judgemental, he has become my Angel. He actually listens to everything you say which is a rarity, and for someone who may deal with this sort of thing on a day to day basis shows only compassion for you and is eager to help you.
Alan takes on board everything that is discussed, he fully explains what he wants to achieve and how it will help you so there are never any miss understandings. Alan is extremely gracious , helpful and very professional. He has helped me immensely with tackling my inner demons which have controlled my life for more than I am prepared to say. Not anymore!!
I have had a set of 4 sessions to help me tackle my weight problem ,and one separate one so far in order to build up my confidence, self worth and self belief. Alan has helped me understand that my overeating and compulsion with food is all connected to emotions and therefore trusting in myself will allow me to be in control of my life and not allow other areas of my past to control me. This is an enormous change I am experiencing and would recommend anyone to hand yourself over and be helped. . I feel confident that my weight problem will be resolved in due course and In 10 weeks I have lost 33lb =(2stone 5lb) which is remarkable, I cannot emphasize enough how this was done with such ease, I feel re born.
I wish to remain anonymous for now and when I have fully succeeded with before and after photo’s I will reveal all. Thank you so so much for allowing me into your life and helping me change mine. XXX

Review of Bluewater Hypnotherapy from 1 November 2011

After being recommended by a friend, I had prejudge-mental thoughts about the effectiveness of hypnotherapy…well I was very very wrong. Alan’s sessions cured of me a life long fear, after only just 3 sessions. His friendliness and non judgmental l approach combined with his professionalism and confidentiality showed me he was a true expert in this field. I would recommend Blue Water Hypnotherapy to anyone, it really does work. I would return to Alan for any other issues I have.

Review of Bluewater Hypnotherapy from 18 October 2011

I was really struggling to manage stress at work and was feeling like I just couldn’t cope with life. Luckily I stumbled across an advert for Bluewater Hypnotherapy and decided to give Alan a call.
I was quite nervous about hypnosis at first, but Alan very patiently answered my questions and really took the time to reassure me by explaining what would happen.
After the first session I was so relaxed, and I felt so good that I smiled all the way home! With each session my confidence has grown, and I now feel like I’m back in control of my life and enjoying being me.
A hypnosis session with Alan is like a massage for your mind, and I’ve recommended him to my friends and colleagues. I’m so glad I gave hypnosis a try.
Thank you so much Alan, you’re an absolute star!

Review of Bluewater Hypnotherapy from 30 September 2011

There arent enough words to describe what Alan has done for me, I came to him around 6 or 7 weeks ago an absolute wreck had had my heartbroken in such a disasterous way and it had hit me hard i had hit my rock bottom and needed to climb back up again. After our first session I felt much better but by the 3rd session I felt amazing I had 5 sessions in all and I truly feel like a new woman I have a new found love for life, my children, my friends everything. I cant describe how amazing I feel and I owe it all to Alan he was my angel in my time of need,he has made me the woman I want to be and I will be eternally grateful to him for it. He is such a wonderful genuine person who seems to love helping people and I believe that is why he is such a credit he genuinely cares. I see Alan as part of my life now I will be sad to not see him for our sessions but happy knowing that he will be helping someone else on their journey.

Thank you so very much Alan.

Review of Bluewater Hypnotherapy from 26 September 2011

I had real problems with my confidence, blushing constantly throughout the day and it just got to the point where I was blushing talking to work colleagues that I’ve known for years and even family and friends. so I thought I’d give hypnotherapy a try. I am a bit of a sceptic so wasn’t sure how it would go, but to my surprise it’s been great. Alan is great! makes you feel totally at ease and really wants to help you with your problem. Literally after the first session I felt like I was achieving something. After each session I just started to feel more and more confident and the blushing stopped almost completely. So I’d just like to say a very big thank you to Alan for making my day to day life better and making me feel like I can go so much further in my career just through being a more confident person.
I would recommend Alan to anyone full stop. He’s helped me no end and for that I will be eternally grateful.

Review of Bluewater Hypnotherapy from 27 August 2011

I have never been to Alan but my daughter had her 1st session with him on Friday, to say I am amazed is an understatement, she went in there like a broken woman due to breakup of her realationship, she was unable to cope even sucidal at times,when she walked out of the session she was like a completely different woman, almost back to her old self. She is getting confident again, wanting to go out with her friends I am so grateful to Alan for all he has done for her in such a short period of time, she knows she has to have more sessions to be completely sorted but she is happy to do so . Thank you so much again Alan you have taken a load off my mind , I have already recommended you to one of my friends and will continue to do so. I agree you are worth every penny
