Difficulties in managing IBS combined with work-related stress prompted me to seek hypnotherapy from Darren Marks. Never having previously considered such therapy, I was initially apprehensive but was soon put at ease by Darren's patient explanation of the relaxation and visualisation techniques involved. Far from any feeling of yielding personal control, what I experienced was a sense of empowerment. With Darren's gentle guidance I was able to recognise within myself a pattern of negative thinking and self-limiting decisions and, in unpicking these, I was completely in charge of what I wanted to explore and what I chose to disclose. The resulting changes have been dramatic: I feel calmer and more confident, able to assert myself in situations which in the past would have triggered crippling anxiety. I take myself less seriously yet I value myself more and I'm able to approach work -and life- pressures from a much more balanced, positive perspective.

Thank you so much for my breakthrough session - it really has made a difference to my life! I went home feeling amazing and able to deal with everything more positively. Things that used to upset me hugely don't seem to bother me in the same way at all. My sister and I haven't argued since (and believe me, there were times when we would have done for sure - she's 2 weeks from going down the altar). My brother's girlfriend and I get on really well now (despite the different way that we deal with things), and I feel much more positive about things in general. I know that without coming to see Darren, my outlook would have felt quite bleak and things would be a lot harder for me to deal with. Truly money well spent for the difference that it has made to my life.

I must admit when I read a testimonial on Darren's website about the person who enjoyed their flight having got over a fear of flying through hypnotherapy there was a little thought at the back of my mind saying 'there is no way that person was ever as scared as I am...'. The last time I had got on an aeroplane I suffered a panic attack so bad I collapsed and had to be taken off the aircraft. However here I am just over a month later having got on a plane and flown to Edinburgh (and back!) for the first time in eight years. My friends and family literally cried with happiness that I have done this and a huge cloud has been lifted from my life. The flights went well, I was relaxed and only had a little wave of nerves which is amazing seeing as before I started hypnotherapy I would have a panic attack just thinking about a plane! I can't thank Darren enough, he was so incredibly understanding and professional. My relaxation techniques have helped me in other areas of my life too, I feel so positive and confident and most importantly i'm ready for my next flight!

I would like to send a huge thank you to darren marks . For putting me back on track and helping me cope with a very difficult time in my life . my name is alice allen I am a very loud and out going person .Running teams of up to 40 guys being in charge of large amounts of stock and keeping deadlines not a problem . But in december last year was rushed to hospital in quiet a bad state. I could not cope and went to my gp and asked for help he gave me some medication to help . This caused severe panics anxiety attacks and fears you could not imagine. my whole life was on stop . But then I found Darren marks an amazing man.I will admit before going I was doubtful. But I am so grateful that I went . I am now back on track using my new skills of relaxation that darren has taught me. I would recommend him to anybody. I am still not fully sure how it works but it really does. Once again a big big thank you for every thing you helped me achieve.

Hi Darren,
I can't explain how different, and better, I feel after seeing you. It's amazing, how certain things just dont upet and unsettle me anymore. I feel so much more mentally robust and ready to face the world. Its strange finally possesing confidence, it's made my life so much more free. I have been listening to the CD once a day like you said.
As far as tennis goes, I have never played better, with all the fear gone I can just go for it, which is more my style, taking risks and enjoying it. So its all positive news to report.
Thanks again,
Rebecca

Dear Darren Marks,
I would just like to say a quick thank you for your help in curing me of my phobia. I feel so much more confident and relaxed when put into that sort of situation. I still use the cds you gave me and find them really relaxing- even my boyfriend loves them- and I will always recommend you to anyone needing hypnotherapy:)
Thanks again,
Collette O'Driscoll:)
Hello Darren
Re the insomnia - I've now had 2 blissful nights sleep and look almost human. Last night I even fell asleep before the end of the recording. Fantastic

Hi Darren
Just some feedback for you... I am so pleased with the way I am feeling now, it is just amazing to have control again. When people have offered me chocolate and sweets I find it effortlessly easy to say no thank you, I don't even want to eat it and I don't miss it and I have stopped snacking between meals and late at night - it's just amazing how it stopped over night. Thank you!
Warm regards,
Sophie
Hi Darren,
Things have been going really well since my last session and I have lost 1/2 a stone. Many people in my office go to the gym at lunchtime and I am going to join and go with them as part of my healthy new life. Thank you for all your help. I would have no hesitation recommending your service to others.
Thank you and all the best

Hello Darren,
Just wanted to send you a short note of thanks. Today I am one year free from cigarettes. I have joined a gym and taken up yoga and pilates. Feeling happier and healthier then I have in a long time.
Many Thanks,
Maria Madden
Hi Darren,
I thought I'd wait a month to see how I got on before contacting you and you'll be pleased to know that since I came to see you I have neither smoked nor desired a single cigarette! I can't thank you enough and I'm absolutely 'over the moon' to be free of that prison at long last! Although I'm not quite running the four minute mile yet, I feel a lot healthier and better in myself.
Thank you so much. Have a Merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year.
Regards
Monique Garforth
Hi Darren,
I'm still a happy no smoker and it must be at least four years by now - so once again, thank you very much.
Kind regards,
Anna
Hi Darren

Hi Darren,
Just wanted to say thankyou soo much for your help and advise for my wedding day - it all went absolutely brilliantly and I could not be happier. You'll see in the photo!
I told my bridesmaid to remind me "belly button" so that I would remember my centre of balance, and I did the finger and thumb aswell as seeing the aisle as a river and all went fantastic and was a huge help. I then saw Ralph and that was it!
Thankyou Darren for your help. It was the best day of my life. Rest assured if I need to see you in the future I will be in touch.
Many Thanks again

Hi Darren,
Thanks so much for the help with public speaking.
After just three sessions I surprised myself with how
calm I felt before and into my presentation. You were
right it actually felt fun and was such a rush! My
classmates and friends who know I had a fear of public
speaking were amazed at the change as was I. Great big
thanks for helping me to do what I knew I could
underneath it all!!
Best,
Myra Foster
Dear Darren
I thought I would drop you a line to say thank you for all your help.
I came to you 10 days before my final medical/practical exam because I felt that I did not have the confidence to get through it. I had been waking each morning with the first thought in my head being "you can't do it".
I was not asking that you pass the exam for me! No, I just wanted you to change my mind set, make me more relaxed, put things into perspective and make me feel more confident about myself.
I had been studying for years and this was the final hurdle, the pressure I'd put on myself was quite overwhelming.
After three sessions and many listens to my relaxation CD I took the exam and the whole experience was
great. I kept my cool, was confident and did not get fazed by the questions being thrown at me from all
angles. I didn't just pass but passed really well.
So once again, thank you for your help. I will be recommending hypnotherapy to anyone who loses confidence in themselves.
Cheers
Stephanie O'Brien
