Testimonials

I recommend Matthew Bates Hypnotherapy 100%. It has been an absolute life changing journey for me.

I attended the sessions online with an open mind and curiosity. I engaged wholeheartedly in the process which involved the sessions with Matthew once a week and then listening to an audio in the evenings. I learnt so much about myself, my mindset, habits, thoughts, feelings and emotions and also about how the brain works.

Matthew is so professional, friendly, patient, knowledgeable and supportive. His voice is incredibly calming when listening to the trance / meditations and he guides you through every step. What he has done for me is priceless and I will be forever grateful.

I am delighted with my new attitudes to life since taking therapy sessions with Matt. Professional, supportive, encouraging and effective in helping me review my approach to many things.

Great ways of explaining how our brains work and the impact on our lives.

If you want to improve the quality of your life and your responses to life events and experiences then look no further!

A BIG thank you to Matthew for an extremely helpful few sessions. I was grappling with a few things that were affecting my mental health and felt I needed to make some decisions to move forward. With a practical yet empathetic approach, Matthew equipped me with the tools, clarity and compassion I couldn’t quite show myself, that I can now practice and remind myself of on good and not so good days. I feel more confident and able to make decisions.

I was somewhat apprehensive about embarking on this type of therapy, understandably when you’re on your own and fear judgement, but with a leap of faith and trustworthiness that Matthew showed, I felt comfortable to open up to and work with him. I highly recommend him!

Forget everything you think you know about hypnotherapy, because Matthew’s hypnotherapy is so very far removed from those awful TV shows you’ve probably seen.

Matthew doesn’t get you doing daft things like clucking like a chicken. He gets you to focus on your issues and works through them with you.

Most importantly he provides you with the tools you need to effect a change in yourself.

All in all I had 8 sessions with Matthew, and can confidently say I’ve addressed and overcome my issues.

So, if you’ve doubts about hypnotherapy, all I can say to alleviate them is to try it, you’ve nothing to lose, but so very much to gain.

I’ve been working with Matt for 4 months now and it’s proven really helpful in creating positive habits and sustainable well-being. The combination of virtual sessions and the audio have made it easy to ensure I’ve stayed on track. Matt’s calm and understated style is backed up by all the theory and training that mean I felt in very safe hands. I’d highly recommend Matt’s hypnotherapy for those wanting to make change or improvements in their lifestyle and wellbeing.

I was surprised as to how beneficial I found the sessions. Not only was it extremely relaxing, but the hour I gave to it each week became something I would look forward to.

I would encourage anyone to work with Matt if your aim is to tackle any anxieties you have in the hope of improving your mental state and outlook on things.
