Testimonials
Clients often look for reassurance when choosing a hypnotherapist. The feedback below comes from people who have worked with me through NCM Hypnotherapy in Dartington and Newton Abbot, as well as from clients across Torquay, Paignton, Dartmouth, Totnes and the wider South Devon area and beyond. These comments reflect individual experiences of hypnotherapy sessions and are shared with permission.
Confidence, self-belief and personal change
“You will be pleased to hear that I am feeling much more confident. Thank you for your help and the best of luck with your practice.”
Female, 73 (low confidence)
“In just two sessions I have seen incredible results. I was sceptical at first, but the difference has been remarkable. I have since recommended Neville to many others.”
Adult client (general wellbeing and confidence)
“I can now talk to anyone, even in front of a group, without blushing. My friends can’t believe the change in me.”
Male, 16 (blushing and social anxiety)
Phobias, fears and specific anxieties
“Incredible. I calmly scooped up a spider in a glass and put it outside- something I would never have been able to do before.”
Female (spider phobia)
“We had an amazing holiday and I have now conquered my fears. I didn’t feel any fear when going through tunnels or on trains.”
Female, 56 (claustrophobia)
“Since having a couple of sessions, my fear of needles is much improved. This made a huge difference as I was facing major surgery.”

“Brilliant. It certainly took away the desire to smoke.”
Female, 48 (smoking)

Weight, eating and body-related issues
“Food had been a total obsession for as long as I can remember. After working together, my confidence returned and I began to look forward to meal times again.”
Female, 27 (eating difficulties)
“I am still losing weight and finding it easy. It’s great not having to think about food all the time.”
Female, 58 (weight and food anxiety)
“I first thought I was just going to lose a little weight. I couldn’t have been more wrong. You cured problems I’d had for decades and completely changed my outlook on life.”

Children and young people

“Thank you for all you’ve done for Sam. He’s feeling much better about going to school and his marks have really improved.”
Parent of child aged 7 (confidence and school anxiety)

Trauma and longstanding difficulties
“The awful flashbacks I suffered from for years have gone, and for the first time I can remember, I’m looking forward to the future.”

Female, 68 (complex-PTSD).
Fertility, and reproductive wellbeing
“The uncertainty around fertility had taken over my thoughts. Sessions with Neville helped me feel calmer and better able to cope with the process. I felt more emotionally steady, whatever the outcome.”

“After a miscarriage, I felt anxious and overwhelmed. The work we did helped me process what had happened and regain a sense of balance.”
