(a) Independant Testimonials

Most therapists you contact may assure you that they are good at what they do, but how can you tell? True a lot of us have testimonials, but I have heard of some unethical therapists actually faking their testimonials. So you end up having to trust someone you don’t know. It would seem to me that the best testimonials are ones that can be objectively verified, so it’s not just in the therapist’s mind that we think we can do the job. There is also external evidence to back this up. In this regard I have been rather fortunate because external evidence does exist about my methods and my results:

Journalist Challenges

Journalist challenge #1: Journalist Beth Neil, Daily Mirror,challenged Felix to treat her phobia of pigeons in 1 session. She wrote:

"...I've got to admit it's pretty impressive... i'm still able to walk through a crowd of pigeons and watch them flutter around me. That would have been inconceivable just a few hours ago. The sickness in my stomach has gone, I can't believe the progress I've made..." - 1 session

Journalist challenge #2 – in the Nov 2007 issue of Time Out, journalist Hannah Kane wrote about her equally successful single session to cure her phobia of surgical operations. I can’t scan this article onto my website as the resolution is not clear enough, but it is available to be seen in my testimonials folder in my waiting room.

(b) Testimonials From Feedback Forms asking the Question: "do you feel outcomes agreed at start of our sessions have been met at the end?":

"Felix identified the root of my problem extremely quickly, having already had 5 other sessions with someone else I wasn't convinced the problem could be solved, let alone in just 1 session. But Felix just hit the nail on the head. I am still amazed he did in just 1 session and I definitely believe Felix is a hidden gem in his industry. I am very fortunate to have found him as the difference it has made in my life is priceless. I would recommend Felix without any hesitation as he is excellent at what he does and gets results fast."
Maz S - Confidence.

"Prior to my therapy I was a bit sceptical but I am absolutely amazed with what Felix managed to achieve in just 21/2 hours. Having suffered with a severe phobia for over 20 years, I am now comfortably able to cope with situations that before sent me into a blind panic. I feel as if I've got my life back and I really couldn't have asked for more. Felix was understanding and patient throughout and also made me feel very relaxed and safe. He has achieved what I can only describe as some sort of miracle! I honestly didn't believe that long-term changes could be achieved in such a short space of time but now have real proof! I continue to remain positive and confident about the future. Thank you!"

Parveen Nar - Local Government worker, 2 sessions

"I've tried many hypnotherapists in the past to no avail. I came to trust Felix and this has proved to be one of the best decisions I have made in my life. I will be forever grateful to Felix and would suggest that anyone with a phobia contact him so that he can change their lives for the better also."

Sheryl Christian, Admin - Client on "The Panic Room"

"... All I needed to walk in with was an open mind to try new things and although I was very sceptical, it's worked. I can't describe how wonderful it feels after so many years of being terrified of public speaking to finally put it behind me. Not really sure how it works but in all honesty, I'm too relieved to care!".

B.C. - Human Resources, 3 sessions

"...if i am really honest I left your offices thinking 'great guy, that was fun but what a load of rubbish, it's not worked'. That night out of nowhere a little moth was fluttering around the room and I astounded everyone including myself when I just reached out and grabbed it in my hand!! the whole room went quiet. My husband was open-mouthed in disbelief. The next morning I saw another moth in my room and again caught it in my hand just to prove it wasnt' a fluke. Only this time it was bigger and I held it enclosed in bith hands and took it gently outside. I was STILL sceptical so I tested myself again and sat in the garden with the lights on waiting for moths!! There were a few whizzing past my head and I was cool as a cucumber!! I could not believe that after my whole adult life and probably all my childhood, I would sit comfortably in the garden at night with the lights on waiting for moths to come. I kept scanning the room and then I remembered 'I am not afraid of them anymore'. My [conscious] brain has not grasped this yet, so I kept testing myself. I am now planning a trip to butterfly world where there will be hundreds of them..."

Rachel Longworth - Lifelong fear of moths/butterfles. I session

Thank you so much".

".. My daughter Orla responded immediately and completely to the session with you. No more sleep deprivation, anxiety or late nights, it's really a miracle.

I would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone who needed hypnotherapy.."

“I’ve been to see various people (from counsellors to acupuncturists) over the last 18months and this is the first time I really felt more upbeat… perceptive questions made me think about issues in new ways… also although a little bizarre, the tapping thing actually does seem to work.
