I worked with biofeedback to slow and deepen my breathing. I had been panic
breathing for a long time without knowing it. The difference has been out of
proportion to anything I would have expected. I face the day to day challenges
of work and family with a much more laid back and calm attitude. It's now rare
for me to snap or loose my temper, when it used to be a regular occurrence.
Physically I am much stronger. Challenges that had previously taken me to my
limit I now find I can take in my stride (e.g. a 170 mile coast to coast cycle
ride). I continue to use what I have learned every day.

I sought help for an issue with my attention span.
Since childhood I've always found it hard to concentrate on a single thing for
any extended period of time, and have always been easily distracted. Although
my life was going well I really felt this issue was stopping me reach my full
potential. Glyn introduced me to neurofeedback to try to strengthen my brain
function. I quickly got the hang of it. I used the neurofeedback first in the
sessions and then later at home on my own. After each 20-30 minute session my
mind felt incredibly clear. I also felt very present, and any distraction from
brain fog or mind chatter was much diminished. After using the system for about
a month I feel it has made a lasting difference to my attention.

I have found biofeedback invaluable in treating my anxiety.
With the help of this technology I became aware of the physical impact of my anxiety,
and learned effective mind-body skills, which have helped enormously in reducing my anxiety.
Before attending Glyn's therapy sessions, I tried many other treatments and strategies
to reduce my anxiety. I would say that the strategies Glyn uses have helped me by far the most.

I was suffering from insomnia, aches in the body
and constant anxiety. My anxiety was so bad that I couldn’t sit watching a
film without ironing at the same time. My perception of life was more
grey than full of colour.
Glyn helped me with biofeedback relaxation techniques,
combined with NLP methods that helped me develop more control,
and a sense of a more positive future. Thanks to his empathy and
patience I now sleep like a log, the pains in my body have vanished
and I can even enjoy watching a film without ironing. Grazie Glyn!

"Since seeing Glyn I have been able to
maintain my focus, and my performance has definitely
increased"
|
When I came to see Glyn, I was keen to address two main issues: firstly the
regular migraines I had suffered from since school, and secondly to improve my focus,
which was very poor and affected my ability to concentrate at work.
As a result of a number of neurofeedback sessions (including HEG and LENS),
I have found that in the three months since finishing neurofeeedback I have
only suffered four migraines – and these with reduced severity. Considering
that before treatment I would regularly experience phases with weekly migraines –
in some instances I suffered one a day over 3 – 4 days – this is a huge improvement.
The biggest improvement has been to my ability to focus and concentrate at work.
I no longer fall asleep in afternoon meetings! Since seeing Glyn I have been able
to maintain my focus, and my performance has definitely increased. The changes have
been maintained since the therapy ended.
My initial nervousness on meeting Glyn was soon overcome, as he has a gift of making
you feel comfortable when discussing the issues you wish to address. I would be happy
to recommend Glyn Blackett as a proficient and effective therapist.

For some time I had problems with mental focus and energy,
especially at work. We did some testing to identify possible causes, and decided
to try using biofeedback and nutrition. Amino acid supplements helped me, but I
also learned how to improve my health on my own through diet.
Every day now, I feel much healthier and enjoy life at a
higher level. I’ve lost weight, and gained control over my energy levels. More
importantly, I believe I can keep doing it in a sustainable way.

Our 11 year old daughter has always had difficulty with planning,
self-organisation and poor coordination. We approached Glyn because she was
starting to regularly lose her temper and also at times would become
destructive. Glyn recommended
LENS treatment. The day after her first
treatment we immediately noticed a difference, she seemed to be much calmer
and happier in herself. In the three months since starting the treatment she
has not had any such emotional outbursts. Her school work has also improved
and she appears to be finding it easier to learn new things.
Glyn was very approachable and our daughter enjoyed her LENS treatment
sessions.

"Glyn is a gifted therapist
who I hightly commend"

As a Junior doctor I had training from the Medical and Dental hypnosis
society and subsequently had many years experience as a hypnotist.
Working as a GP, I see there are a lot of hypnotherapists offering
their services and that it is difficult to know who to trust and go to when
hypnotherapy has been recommeded by a GP or if you yourself feel that
hypnosis and hypnotherapy may be the way forward.
I would like to recommend Glyn Blackett as a talented hypnotherapist
who has helped me personally.
Glyn has a unique combination of complementary
skills which contribute to his effectiveness as a hypnotherapist.
Glyn has an impressive knowledge and practical experience of biofeedback
and binaural beat technology. This has given him great skill and flexibility
in leading clients into a comfortably relaxed mental state. He has a deep
interest in meditation and meditational techniques and this has given
him a broader approach to therapy than you will find in many therapists
A trustworthy and professional man, Glyn is a gifted therapist who
I highly commend.

Working with biofeedback has helped me dramatically reduce the severity
of mood swings, and to achieve real improvements in both my work and family life.

I attended York Mind-Body Health because I had developed a debilitating phobia
and attendant anxiety. Biofeedback technology, combined with relaxation and meditation
techniques, helped me separate my momentary physiological responses from my longer
term psychological distress. Although not easy and requiring considerable application,
the approach has proved extremely successful. I am hopeful that this experience will
help me to deal with other anxieties and over-reactions to particular events in the future.

I can highly recommend Glyn Blackett as a competent and effective therapist.
I consulted Glyn because I wanted overcome my fear of the dentist; we then
went on to look at other areas of my life that I felt needed change.
Glyn helped me to find the strength within myself to make choices and changes
that resulted in me conquering my fears and gaining some control over my eating
patterns. Going to the dentist is much less traumatic now (my dentist would
agree!) and I am on the road to a much healthier lifestyle because of Glyn’s
invaluable help.

The set-up of my hypnotic treatment with Glyn was very interesting.
I wore headphones and heard a combination of Glyn’s voice and something called
a binaural beat, in the form of a gently rising and falling sound. The
'technical' side of it was not intrusive or distracting. On the contrary
I found the combination of the sound and voice allowed me to go very deep
into the area of body/mind relationship that I wanted to explore. A couple of
years or so before the treatment I had been diagnosed as having a peanut
allergy. The reactions I had were sometimes quite violent. Although I
immediately stopped eating peanuts it seemed as if my whole digestive system
was in disarray. My appetite seemed out of kilter - it was as if my head was
having to work out when I was hungry and when I’d had enough. It was doing
its best but it clearly was not right way of coming to that kind of decision.
It was for this reason that I had the treatment with Glyn. During and after
the treatment it became really clear that I had lost my instinctive ability
to know when I had had enough to eat or what I needed to eat. The way that
Glyn guided me to find and believe in my own instinctive sense of appetite
was masterful. After that my whole pattern of eating returned to normal and
I have not had any problems in that area since.

"Right from the start, I felt completely at ease with Glyn"

I have had a life-long deep-seated phobia of the dentist ever since the age
of 6 – 7 years old, when I had 9 teeth extracted all at the same time. As I
grew up, my fear increased more and more especially when I had to have
injections, until I could no longer face the prospect of going to the dentist
any more. It must have been around 30 years since I last visited a dentist.
Recently I’ve been having dental problems, but I was too petrified to even
pick up a telephone to phone a dentist, let alone sit in a dentist’s chair and
have treatment. I knew I had to somehow conquer my fear and have treatment. I
was put in touch with Glyn Blackett and it was the best move ever. Right from
the start, I felt completely at ease with Glyn and after only the first
hypnotherapy session, he had persuaded me to telephone a dentist, not to make
an appointment, but just to find out what to expect on a first visit. After
the second session, I was actually able to telephone a dentist to make an
appointment for a check up. On my first visit to the dentist, I found it very
hard to have even a dental mirror in my mouth without gagging and retching.
In addition to further hypnotherapy sessions, Glyn also supplied me with a
CD that allowed me to use self-hypnosis both at home and at the dentist.
I found this extremely helpful. I eventually had 3 fillings and 2 teeth extracted, as well as
thorough cleaning and polishing. I now feel confident enough to visit the
dentist without fear, on a regular basis. I cannot thank Glyn enough for all
his help. I certainly could not have done it without him.

"I felt in control at all times"

I consulted Glyn Blackett, because I wanted to find some resolution
of some painful experiences from my past, which were negatively affecting
my present life.
When I first considered hypnotherapy, I did not really understand what was
involved in this process. In the back of my mind were memories of hypnotised
people making complete fools of themselves – I had seen a stage hypnotist once
while on holiday in Spain.
When I visited Glyn for the first time I quickly realised, through discussion,
that the therapy he offered was far removed from such fears. I realised that
the whole process is about self-empowerment. Through Glyn’s skilful guidance
my deep subconscious mind was able to inform my conscious mind and enable it
to reassess its own responses to situations that I come into contract with
in my life. I was able to look at past grief and pain, which my conscious mind
had struggled to cope with, and with a free flow of subconscious input I was
able to respond in a creative way, in an effort to move forward.
I felt in control at all times. Although I did experience being under hypnosis,
I knew that I could halt the process of the therapy and withdraw myself from the
induced trance, and I always felt free to choose whether to pull back or continue.
I was very grateful for Glyn’s help and have no hesitation in recommending his ability
to anyone considering this type of self awareness development.

"Glyn is highly gifted, with the rare
ability to put himself in someone else’s
situation."
|
My name is Janis. Several months ago I consulted Glyn Blackett for help.
Following brain surgery, I acquired a brain injury which left me paralysed
down my left side and lacking sight in my left eye. My left hand was commonly
locked up and I wanted help to learn to release the tension.
During initial consultations with Glyn my left hand actually moved to my
great delight. Since then glyn has given me hypnotic inductions on compact
disk. These are incredibly beneficial. I use them every day and now feel
convinced that there is life to be regained in my inactive limbs. The fact
that they are personalised, using my name, gives them greater impact.
After I use them I find myself wandering around the house with the messages
and the sounds still in my head and feeling as if I am in a dream. I also
have a renewed and positive energy and find myself capable of achieving things
I never would have imagined possible.
In short I have learned that positive messages and suggestions aimed at the
subconscious are of great benefit.
Glyn is highly gifted, with the rare ability to put himself in someone else’s
situation. He is highly empathetic and professional. I would be delighted to
verify my comments any time on 08700 245276.
