Testimonials

David Coulthard Racing Car Driver

Simon Fitchett worked with me as my personal trainer and sports massage therapist for the last 4 years of my driving career in Formula 1, where his personal training skills and sports massage techniques helped keep me above the optimum physical condition required to compete.

Simon is an extremely committed, dedicated and loyal individual who can be trusted and relied upon under any circumstances.

As a physical trainer and sports therapist his professionalism and skills are of the highest caliber, and as a professional and friend I could always rely on him knowing whatever was asked of him would be carried out successfully and to the best of his ability."

Fliss Jaine Sufferer of Crohns Disease

I was diagnosed with Crohns Disease seven years ago and was recommended to see Simon, although in remission, to discuss my irritability, lack of energy and enthusiasm which the disease left me with all the time. I was very skeptical at first, but Simon has a very calming presence was great at explaining how Hypnotherapy really works and even offered other successful examples of others he had helped in the past, and their improvements, so I felt in safe hands.

The main objective for me was my lack of energy and feeling very down, so Simon explained firstly the best method of Hypnotherapy he would use to improve my energy and mood, and also how I could expect to feel during the days that followed. Simon’s voice allows you to relax very quickly and the way he described the situation really took me to another place; I could really imagine parts of my body just melting into the chair. The whole experience was great!! Very calming, relaxing and the results were amazing. I woke up the next morning feeling an increase in energy levels and my confidence, and for the first time in 3 years I didn’t need a cup of coffee first thing in the morning!!"

Alistair Niddrie Business Consultant

Having been employed all my working life, I decided to start up a new company. I required help in overcoming some fears that were holding me back. It was with trepidation that I contacted Simon because I didn't like the idea of being out of control and did not understand how he or Hypnosis could ever overcome the anxieties I was suffering from.

Following a 30 minute consulting session with Simon, I provided several areas that I wanted to work on there and then. Simon reassured me that these thoughts were very normal and he felt confident that I would overcome them.

During the following session, I did not feel that I was being hypnotised, as Simon simply discussed the issues in detail, whilst at the same time relaxing me.

By the end of the session I said to Simon that I was awake the whole time and was aware of noises and my breathing, so did not feel that much had happened in 5 minutes! Although I was relaxed, I was thinking that I had a long road ahead of hundreds of sessions before he could help!!

Simon commented that it was not 5 minutes, but was in fact 25 minutes and that was a very good sign that I was in hypnosis.

The following day I really could not believe the difference in me. I did not have any of the anxieties that we worked on in our first session -they had completely gone!

As agreed, Simon called me several times in the next couple of weeks to find out how I was getting on, which kept me focused as well.
Within this time I had set up a business, written and published a web site and business is already booming.
I'm thoroughly enjoying the ongoing sessions with him, as every time another issue is blasted away!

I have now employed Simon as my ongoing mentor to help with my mental management for the business.

I understand that Simon specialises in working with professional sports people as well as the general public but I would also highly recommend him for any one who is considering a start up business. It should be routine for people like me who have a new business start up to receive this sort of positive therapy."

Lisa Firend Musician

I recently had to perform a very large concert in Seoul, Korea. Obviously to get there I would be subjected to my fear of flying, for twelve hours!

Having been referred to Simon, I asked him if there was anything he could do to prevent me from arriving in Seoul a nervous wreck from the journey. Simon suggested a one hour session focussing on creating a calm and nurturing mindset for me and for me to remember those feelings and introduce them whilst on the plane.

I must say, I was sceptical as I have in the past had sessions of hypnotherapy where the therapist gave up! However, I found the consultation and session very relaxing and calming and I definitely took the lessons learnt in that session onto the plane with me. I did not feel that terrible dread on the plane and arrived feeling much better than I ought to after spending 12 hours on a plane!

Thank you Simon."

Karin Gunnars Dancer & Singer

Over the years in this industry I have developed a fear for auditions and being judged & assessed by people whilst singing. It had become a huge problem for me as this is my profession and my biggest passion in life. In order to get jobs I have to go through auditions which I find very stressful and sometimes traumatic. Simon has helped me get over my fears and after the hypnotherapy I now no longer feel any of the stress I felt before or suffer from the symtoms like feeling faint, heart racing and a lack of self confidence. It has been a life changing experience for me and now I look forward to getting up in front of a panel to sing, and singing to the best of my ability."

Katharina Maslak X-smoker

I have been smoking for almost 9 years and I really enjoyed it! There was a day however when I became very annoyed by it and constantly smelling of smoke and also just the fact I “felt I had to" smoke. I tried to give up a number of times but I just couldn't so I was recommended to contact Simon, so I made a appointment to see him. I was a little nervous because I have never been in hypnosis before, but Simon was very detailed in describing every step and made me feel completely at ease. He explained that he can help me but in the end I am the one deciding if I really want to stop or not. We started to talk about many facts linked to smoking and the reasons why I want to stop. After talking through a number of things, I had to sit back and relax. Simon made me feel very comfortable and confident in myself, so I started to listen to his voice and just followed his directions. In just a short time my body was so relaxed that I thought I would fall asleep but that didn't happen. I could still hear his voice but I felt so relaxed and at ease.

After Simon had counted to 5 and I had opened my eyes I felt great. I was completely relaxed and felt like I had been sleeping forever but I still remembered everything that Simon had told me. I didn't even think about having a cigarette right after the session but I assumed it would be hard not to when back to my daily routine. I was worried that I would not be strong enough to avoid any cravings, but they never came! The next day I didn't even think about having one. Its incredible! I don't even feel the need to smoke anymore and I no longer smell of cigarettes! At first I could not see how hypnotherapy could work, but after this I would recommend it to everyone wanting to stop smoking, it was calming, relaxing and actually very easy providing you really want to stop! There is no one to stop me having a cigarette right now but I simply do not want one.
