Testimonials

I’m so grateful for Shaun’s help with my teenager son.
My son has been suffering emotionally since our family break up and subsequently we are in the process of divorcing.
Unfortunately, my son completely derailed entirely and sadly had been permanently excluded from school due to his behaviour. I myself was at a total loss as to what to do to help him.
Our lives just continued to go from bad to worse!
A friend highly recommended shaun to me as he had been providing counselling to her son.
I thought, well, at this point we had nothing to lose and gave him a call explaining our situation.
Shaun was so easy to talk to, I felt comfortable with telling him the good, the bad and the ugly side of everything.
They quickly built up a relationship and my son will talk about Shaun often in our conversations.
My son is now doing so much better - in fact, with having the continuity of seeing Shaun weekly and him being able to have that one to one personal and safe time to speak about anything and everything that may have happened that week - I’d say he’s back on track and I feel I have my little boy back! However, my son’s therapy will be ongoing for however long he feels he needs it.
We are so grateful to Shaun - I genuinely, highly recommend him!

Shaun has been great to work with to help quit smoking for good. There were various triggers that continued to give me problems with smoking, and the hypnotherapy and follow up calls and messages have really helped. I'm a lot more confident that I will stay off the cigarettes from now thanks to Shaun Lyons.

I needed some help to quit my one to two bottles of wine a day habit that had gradually, over a four year period, got out of control. Although still fully functioning day to day and job wise, both my physical and mental health was suffering under the surface. I hated who I had become - the ‘secret’ drinker, hiding empty wine bottles, the impact my actions were having on those living with me.

I had tried various phone Apps and purchased copious amounts of ‘Quit Lit’ books and resources to help me with my alcohol consumption, which did not work for me. The longest time I went without alcohol was four to five days, after which I felt great and then always went back to drinking. I also sought private CBT but found it easy to not discuss my drinking habits at all and, looking back, I was basically lying my way through these £70/week appointments, not being true to myself at all as it was easier to just talk about other things instead.

I had tried hypnotherapy in the past years ago for something else with good effect so one evening I contacted several close to where I lived but, even once hearing back from them offering me an appointment, I just didn’t feel they were right for me - they appeared too clinical, listing their qualifications in various degrees and I generally just wasn’t feeling it.

I then found Shaun’s website and what instantly appealed to me was his openness with regards to his own past experiences in his ‘About Me’ section of his website. He contacted me via both email and text the next day offering me a free chat which we arranged. When Shaun rang me I instantly knew he was the therapist for me. The way he spoke was honest, reassuring and he radiated a profound genuineness and authenticity like no other. Following his phonecall and subsequent booking onto his ‘Addiction Treatment Plan’, I felt calm, motivated and a strong sense that I will be okay. 

The evening before my first session with Shaun, I’d stupidly had a big drinking session - my mindset was that it was (hopefully) going to be my last ever alcohol so I had made it  one last big blow out. This resulted in arguments with those living with me and again, I woke to the familiar feelings of hangover, anxiety and failure. I arrived at Shaun’s and he met me outside, I was nervous but he instantly put me at ease. We spoke a long time before the hypnotherapy session and he answered all my questions and relieved my anxieties. 

Throughout the hypnotherapy session I felt completely in control and very safe with Shaun. We had plenty of time to talk afterwards and he sent me a personalised audio immediately to my phone to listen to daily. Despite it being a Sunday Shaun was definitely not clock watching like previous therapists I had experienced. I came away from the appointment feeling calm, energised, amazed, with a feeling of lightness and that life made sense again for the first time in years. When I got home I slept for a few hours and felt completely rested and calm. 

The support from Shaun I have received following the hypnotherapy session has been incredible. The first few days I struggled a lot with anxiety, depression and even a full blown panic attack. Shaun was there with me via messages and also phone calls helping me through  these first few days of unfamiliar territory being sober instead of numbing my feelings.

I am now 14 days sober, the longest I’ve been alcohol free in 4 years. I listen to the audio daily and I regularly speak and see Shaun as part of the 28 day support included in the price. It’s early days but I am confident that, with Shaun’s ongoing support, that I have now entered permanent sobriety. Would highly recommend Shaun as your therapist.
