Client Testimonials - For Bishop's Stortford and Great Dunmow Hypnotherapist,Jon Hicks
"Never having visited a Hypnotherapist before I was dubious about it and the possible consequences of the treatment.
At the initial appointment Jon fully explained everything and allayed my concerns in a very caring professional manner.
I presented with a myriad of psychological 'hang ups' from my childhood and beyond and, over a period of 3 months, Jon managed to disentangle them. This was not an easy process for me (or him!) and I did find it hard sometimes but I have to say that now I feel so relaxed, calm, confident, self assured and have a far better understanding of myself having released a lot of unnecessary 'baggage' I was carrying for so long.
This is entirely attributable to Jon's professional expertise. From the start he was extremely reassuring and I have no hesitation in recommending his practice to all. He is a gem!
Thanx a million Jon."

"I have been trying to lose weight for a couple of years and couldn’t even manage to lose 1lb, despite being a qualified personal trainer and having qualifications in sports nutrition and knowing what I should be doing, it just didn’t happen. My biggest weakness was treating myself to a takeaway once a week (sometimes more) I decided to try hypnotism to stop me wanting to eat junk food and also to help me to try to eat healthier.
I booked in for 3 sessions of hypnotism and since my first session, 10 weeks ago now, I have not even wanted to eat takeaways (even when my partner was indulging) I can honestly say that I have not even fancied eating unhealthy food.
I have lost 12lbs in the last 10 weeks, with no effort whatsoever and would highly recommend hypnotism as a safe, healthy way to lose weight with the minimum of effort
Thanks Jon"

"I had 10 sessions with Jon at Bigods Hall and as the weeks passed I felt my mood lifting week by week and after just a few weeks I'd managed to come off my anti-depressant tablets and at the end of my course I felt, and still feel truly happy. Many of my "inner demons" have completely dissapeared and I live a happy life. I'll always be grateful to Jon - Thank you!"

"Jon
After some weeks of deliberation, I finally got round to telephone Jon Hicks at Bigods Hall Hypnotherapy Clinic for an appointment. I have been suffering from Emetophobia since I was a child, and am now in my 50`s. Firstly it was encouraging to see on the web site how common emetophobia is- I had always imagined myself to be almost the only person in the world to suffer from it!
I had 12 weeks of therapy with Jon Hicks, six of which was hypnotherapy which I found relaxing and relieved me of clutter in my mind... The next six sessions were concerned with "Changing Limiting Beliefs" - basically re-educating me in my thinking and feelings. A combination of the two has made an amazing difference to me. I am now happier and more confident than I have ever been, and learning how to change my thinking and beliefs has had the effect of diminishing the emetophobia considerably.
Jon is an excellent therapist, and clearly and patiently discussed all aspects of my treatment.
His sympathy and common sense approach to life`s difficulties made the sessions enjoyable and I always felt so much better for seeing him. I found some excercises challenging, but the difference I feel at the end of the course has made it all worth while, and I would recommend anyone with mind problems to go to Jon.
Many Thanks Jon"

"I was beginning to think that there really wasn't 'a light at the end of
the tunnel', where I was concerned. Over the last 30 years I had spent
over 20 of them on antidepressants,have been suicidal
on many occasions and failed in the attempt. I have seen psychiatrists,
counsellors and had NLP (neuro linguistic programming). The endless
expensive rounds of alternative therapies were to no avail either.
Then I saw Jon's advert in a local magazine, with absolutely nothing to
lose, having tried everything else...I booked for a free consultation. I
was immediately put at ease. Jon explained how our memory works in easy to
understand terms. I had originally gone along to ask for help with losing
weight, antidepressants can make you fat! He told me that my other issues
needed addressing first and then everything else would fall in
place.........he was so right!
The experience wasn't what I had imagined, as you are 'aware' all the time
you are 'under'. After a few sessions I was able to talk about something
so buried in my memory I had no conscious recollection of it. That was a
life changing moment, as from then on,I felt so totally different and
continue to do so some months later. I cannot remember having ever felt so
positive! I am coming off the antidepressants too.Sure some things still
irritate me, but that's life, the big plus is now-they don't occupy every
waking thought and I don't physically feel ill with the stress of it all.
If you are still undecided about whether to try Hypnotherapy, I would say
to anyone, give it a go........my life is so much better now, better than
I could have imagined.
Thanks Jon!"

"Dear Jon, Thank you so much for making the Changing Limiting Beliefs course so interesting, I really enjoyed talking with you each week. I learned a lot during the course and the six weeks passed so quickly. Putting the car into the garage is no longer a problem and this was my biggest problem when I first came to see you. I also feel more confident now.
Best Wishes and Many Thanks"

"I was worried about my teenage daughter, she had gone from being happy confident and bubbly to staying in her room and not being able to deal with life anymore. I went to see Jon who I had never met before to see if he could help. He introduced me to a 6 wk course called "Changing Limiting Beliefs" This course has been amazing- not only has it given me the confidence and knowledge to help my Daughter, who is now happier and is now building her self-confidence back up, but also changed my life too. I am now happier and more confident than I have ever been and understand a lot more about the way we think, which I can now pass on to my family. Many Thanks to Jon"

"I got in touch with Jon when I realised that my anxiety was starting to take over my life and I couldn't see how I could control it. At the first session I was extremely nervous as I found it hard to express my fears and feelings but Jon's professionalism soon calmed any nerves I had.
Following the "Changing Limiting Beliefs" book over just a few weeks I have already realised that my anxieties and fears are just the result of badly managed thinking. Sessions with Jon and completing the series of exercises in the book have already led to me knowing I can conquer my anxieties and I am already happier, more confident and have much higher self-esteem. Thanks Jon!"
"I had been taking anti depressants for over 7 years and had counselling through my GP and employer to no avail. I thought the root to all my problems were weight related and tried every diet known to man. I originally saw Jon`s advert in a local magazine and thought "what the hell, I`ve tried everything"
and gave him a ring. I went for a free consultation and felt at ease instantly. Jon recommended hypnotherapy, I had five sessions, I will admit they were not always easy. I learnt to let go of a load of junk that I had been carrying around for years. I felt so much happier, like a huge weight of guilt had been lifted. We then went on to do some work on Changing Limiting Beliefs. I can honestly say that within a week I had decided to cut my anti depressant dosage by half. By the third week, I had stopped taking them completely. I didnt need them anymore.
Jon is a brilliant therapist and I recommend visiting him to everybody who has been living with a limiting belief system. Things happen, but Jon has helped me build a strong belief system that I can face any challenge
Thank you Jon, I will always be grateful for your help."

"Hi Jon,
Just a quick E-Mail to say Thank you very much for all what you have done for me, I came to you at the end of February 2011 and we decided after a consultation that I would be suitable for a Hypno Band, Having two sessions I felt really good and then my actual operation went really well.
At this date in writing this to you I can actually say that in total so far I have lost four stone in weight and have felt so much better about myself and so many people have started to notice the change in me.
I would always recommend this treatment as this has only been the one that has worked for me so far!!!.
Thank you again so much"

"Hi Jonathan,
I promised to drop you a line to let you know how it was going now that I have had the "treatment". I deliberately left it a month or so, as I knew that it would probably tail off and I would go back to my old habits and put the weight back on again.
I am well and truely wrong on that one.! I am one size down in clothing and still loosing weight at a steady rate . O.K. not rapidly, and I still cannot hide behind a
streetlamp but I am well on the way.
What pleases me most is that I do not spend all day thinking about food or feeling hungry. I returned last weekend from a holiday in France and I had put weight ON.
ONE POUND ! That is already gone back down without effort on my part.
I did not torture myself, I got stuck-in to the Coconut Ice-cream and red wine.
Well done Jonathan, you have changed my whole outlook on life, as well as trouser size.
Gratefully yours
John G"
"Hi Jon,
Just a note to say thank you very much for helping me through hypnotherapy and the Changing Limiting Beliefs course. Not only has the process helped me to completely overcome an anxiety-related sexual problem, which was my reason for starting the treatment, but it's changed the way I look at all experiences in life and I feel on top of the world. I can achieve anything because I now have the tools to manage my thinking effectively. I would encourage anyone to try hypnotherapy and/or Changing Limiting Beliefs because it really does change your life!
Thank you again. "

"I went to see Jon because of my anxiety that I was going to wet myself. It wasn't a monumental difficulty but it was a thought which occurred a lot and I wanted it to go away. Jon helped me to sort it out and it's no longer a problem.
Jon was relaxed but professional and non-judgemental. Improvement was gradual but after a while, although the thought still popped into my head that I might wet myself, when it did, I felt I had control and I knew it wouldn't happen. However, I wanted not to even think about it so that it wasn't an issue anymore and that is the case now. It has been two months since my last appointment with Jon and I know that the problem is resolved. As an added bonus, the process has helped me to sort out other issues and anxieties and view myself in a positive way.
Thank you, Jon. I am so very grateful to you for all your help, kindest regards, F"
"Dear Jon,

Yours Sincerely,"

"Hi Jon
I cant tell you how delighted I am that in just a month I have lost 1 stone and am confident I will continue to lose the weight I have never been successful in losing on previous diets. I must confess I was dubious about the effectiveness of hypnotherapy and am amazed at how successful it has been for me. I cant begin to tell you what a difference it has made to my life - thankyou thankyou thankyou!
Kind regards
Ruth"
