All testimonials can be authenticated. Thank you to all those whom have allowed me to print their stories to show the possibilities and reach of hypnotherapy treatments. I have initialed the stories to maintain maximum privacy. It's not possible to print every client's story, that would just take far too long, but what follows is a selection and from time to time I will rotate in some new cases.
Perhaps one day I can add your success here also.
Thank you Denis for your recent help with overcoming my fear of heights. Strangely it was height over water specifically that completely terrified me and has bothered me for as long as I can remember. Flying has been an ongoing problem but travelling on a ferry was even worse. I would force myself to do it but it was always a terrible experience. It got to the point where I stopped going on foreign holidays. I was helping my boyfriend put up christmas lights on a flat roof section two years ago and I completely froze. I was perfectly safe but just could not move and it was only about 10 feet from the ground. I was so embarrassed and getting me down was actually the most dangerous thing in the end.
It took Denis one session to remove my fear. I have flown since and it was so different, so much calmer. I thought I would be nervous but I wasn't. I was genuinely surprised. I'm not really sure how to describe what I felt, it just seemed normal to fly. Its not just flying, it's so many things I avoided for so long that I now look forward to experiencing. The experience of hypnosis itself was amazing, not like I thought it would be. I want to go back just to enjoy that. So calming. Seeing how easily I overcame my fear of heights, I know Denis can really help me in other areas of my life too.

Nearly six years ago I had a completely out of the blue, unexpected, no warning emotional breakdown. It left me experiencing severe panic attacks and the most horrific night terrors, waking at night panicking, disoriented, terrified and sometimes screaming. I would sleepwalk with no memory. It was a truly horrible time for me and it was virtually constant since that first attack six years ago. So a long time.
After the initial incident I couldn't leave the house for six weeks. When I did, maybe just to go to the shops, I would have to turn back. I fell into depression and confusion. I had almost three years of counselling with two different counsellors. Though it provided temporary relief and gave me coping methods it did not fix anything. I just learned to avoid things and situations and to recognize when a panic attack was coming. It did nothing to help with sleeping or nightmares. I was prescribed medication for depression and sleeping but it just never really helped. It could dull me down for a while but not really fix anything. I never liked having to take it.
I spent all those years living on edge, worrying about situations and always avoiding them. I learned to cope, but never at ease. I took no holidays, certainly nothing outside of Ireland. I did book foreign holidays and really intended to push myself to go but each time at the last moment I would cancel. Even once I had to turn around on the morning of departure driving to the ferry. It was embarrassing and disappointing. Though I did take some breaks around Ireland, I found staying in a strange hotel or even at a friend's house an ordeal. Being awake all night, worried, if I did sleep waking in panic. It's so difficult to explain how something like this can effect a person. What it does to how you live and the choices you make to avoid situations. The limits it sets and it is so hard to just cope with, it takes all of your strength all of the time.
Then I met Denis. Through a chance conversation with him I told him what was happening and he offered to help. I had tried hypnosis some years earlier and again it helped a little but no real fix. But this was different. In only two sessions Denis changed everything for me. He didn't just deal with symptoms but found a root cause for me and my world changed. I'm back doing the things I want. My night terrors are gone, my panic attacks are gone. I am free from the lot. I have even taken my first holiday outside of Ireland in six years and I really enjoyed myself.
I highly recommend Denis. I highly recommend you call Denis if you have any kind of emotional doubt or issue you are fighting. He is very good. After so many years of worry he gave me back my ease and confidence in less than four hours. It's hard to describe how much that means.

I contacted Denis to help me with a sleep issue. For the best part of three weeks I was wakening at virtually the same time every night. Between 4.30am and 5am. I would lie awake for ages, fall asleep just before the alarm and then awake exhausted. Needless to say I was shattered at work, yawning non stop by late afternoon. When you are tired like that everything is a big deal and difficult to do. It was suggested to me to get a run of sleeping meds to get back into my normal pattern but that's not a route I wanted to take.
Denis did one session with me and it was very revealing. I had two things on my mind causing me to wake up. One was to do with work and the other was a family matter. The incredible thing was, I had no real awareness of either in that I never really thought too seriously about them. They were things I thought about but not worry about, at least that's what I believed. But when I slept they seem to run around in my head and clearly were bothering me.
Once I became aware of their effect I was able to understand what needed to be done and immediately from that day I slept soundly. It was so immediate and effective. I was hugely impressed and have no hesitation contacting Denis again and will certainly recommend him to my friends.

Thanks Denis for helping with my leaving cert. I felt under so much pressure and afraid of failing. It's such an important time for the rest of my life. Everyone told me to relax, it was going to be fine! But I didn't feel that way. It's overwhelming and I was struggling to recall subjects I had learned. My confidence was suffering badly.
You freed up my thoughts and re-established my confidence. I felt much more at ease about the exam after the session. And I passed! In fact I did better than just passed, a lot better! Thanks again

I had an aneurysm in my neck a little over five years ago. I had the whole collapsing on the floor, rushed to hospital, intensive care unit recovery, almost died, horrific experience. Thankfully I survived and sort of got back on my feet. When you have an experience like this and you realize how close you came to actually dying it just changes you. I was only in my late 30's, so, very young. Married, kids, a whole life ahead of me.
The medical staff did a great job, I got stints put into my neck and blood vessels repaired. Had twelve months of on and off observations, and brilliantly got the all clear. But on one of my last visits I asked how successful these operations are and should I have any worries about the stint failing. The doctor reassured me and said, "No, not at all, one in a million might fail if even that!"
That one comment started something awful inside me. A worry that grew and grew and grew. In fact I would get aches in my neck, especially when I was stressed in any way. I felt like I couldn't exert myself too much, needed to rest each day. Would feel exhausted for little, always tired. Constantly worrying - was I going to be the one in a million! No matter how much I knew I was being foolish and tried to convince myself to forget it, the ache would always be there just waiting. Even though all the check ups and times I would go to the doctor's they all said there was not a problem, the stint was perfect, there was no real reason for my neck to hurt from the stint. They continued to give me the all clear.
But after years of regular ache I wasn't convinced. I know Denis through a mutual friend and one day I talked to him about it. He offered to help me understand what was causing my worry. It was simply amazing. One session and my ache was gone, it literally felt like a weight off my shoulders. To be able to understand I survived, that I am strong and healthy, it simply was amazing the change I felt. I have not had any ache in my neck since then, not a stress or worry ache anyhow. In fact I never think about it now. Denis did a follow up session to help me with my confidence and motivation to get back out there and it really has helped. I have even taken some business steps that I simply would never have been brave enough to take without finding this personal freedom, the worry would have held me back. A remarkable change all for the better. I got my life back! Thank you!

Please note that in cases of pain then medical certs will be required showing reasons for the pain or showing that there is in fact no discernible reason for the pain. In other words proof of medical examination will be required for cases dealing with pain. Denis.
