Life Changes

I had 4 sessions with Kim that changed my life!

I went for different reasons including finding my life purpose and to make things in my life happen. Also, to improve my self-confidence, deal with jealousy issues, and finally to stop smoking.

His approach is very good, I felt at ease with him straight away and felt understood with my issues.

I found the hypnosis itself is like that lovely state one is in just before falling asleep, when ones mind rests, allowing total relaxation.

After his sessions I usually skip down the road full of confidence.

I would recommend Kim highly to anyone, and have done to close friends. I even referred my mum who is also a big fan of Kim!

As to the issues we dealt with in his sessions, well my self-confidence is at a wonderful place, I really got to like me with all my faults and left my jealousy behind me - apart from a little healthy portion that makes sense to keep.

I am now sure what I want to achieve in my life and how to get there, it comes easy to me and feels great!

Oh and yes I did give up smoking too.

Possibilities unlimited indeed!

Professional Testimonial

Kim is much more than a hypnotherapist. He uses his skills in counselling and personal development to really get to the heart of the issue and then builds your stamina and understanding in that area.

Whatever you want to change, he comes Highly recommended!

Eating (One Session)

Hi Kim,

I am just writing to let you know that things have been going quite well since the hypnotherapy.

Although I had some chocolate and cake at Xmas I didn't eat as much as usual and since then I have been really healthy.

I have only eaten one cereal bar in the last few weeks and today I walked past a table full of cakes at work and didn't even think about having one, so I am really pleased.

Nail Biting (One Session)

Just dropping you an email to let you know how things have been my with nail biting since our session.

It's been pretty incredible so far. I haven't really bitten my nails at all - I have almost started a few times (though in a very incidental, rather than intense way) but each time just as my finger has drifted to my mouth I just instantly and without thinking lower my hand! More than this though I have noticed a few interesting things that are maybe contributing or a partof this.

Firstly, I am very disinterested in my nails in a way I was neverbefore, I never really think of them or look at them and that has felt really good. Secondly, I have felt slightly more protective (for want of a better word) over my fingers - I have been washing them a lot and generally.

They feel a bit smoother and cleaner, more sensitive and less the sort of things I would want to bite or get dirty or treat badly. It has been a very light and easy change - I haven't had any strong urges that suddenly disappear or any strong conscious feelings toward not biting - I just haven’t wanted to in any way.

I have been so surprised by this and I really have been amazed at whets happened. I have been biting my nails every day for 15 years and then for the last four days I just haven't.

Quite extraordinary.

Anyway, that’s the stats!

I can't thank you enough for the treatment - it's given the experience of not having to bite my nails.

Thanks again,

Ray, Teaching Assistant, Brighton (11/12/09)

Public Speaking

Kim was agreat help to me as I had no public speaking experience and I wanted to explore all avenues to overcome this apparently very common fear.

At first, though sceptical, I noticed subtle changes. After a few sesions, I found the experience had really helped me. I learned to drive through the mental roadblocks that I had put up for myself.

This is something I really wanted to do, and now I know I can. I still get nervous in some public speaking situations, but no longer to the point where it stops me doing the things I want to do.

It hasbeen a great experience and I highly recommend Kim if you're facing similar issues.

Andrew, Brighton, (05/12/09)

Confidence & Assertiveness

I am just sending you this email to thank you for your help. I first came to see you feeling very demoralised with low confidence, but after our first session it had improved massively.

After our second session focusing on my confidence, I managed to start conquering my fears that day, and each day since, I have from strength to strength.

Now I can look at things in a completely different way. I can face my fears and overcome them in a way I couldn't prior to our sessions.

I can honestly say you have changed my life and I can now look forward to the future. Many thanks again...

Andy Poole, Manager, Brighton (02/12/09)

Cocaine Addiction (One Session)

Dear Kim,

I am writing to let you know that I wont be needing the second session after all, I no longer have the Friday feeling and that after ten years of cocaine addiction, one session was enough to help me realise the benefits of being free of the little devil on my shoulder, I cannot thank you enough.

I feel absolutely brilliant, in two short weeks my life has improved substantially, my whole life is so much better and I am starting a Law Degree soon thanks to you, something which I would never have previously considered because of my addiction and the restrictions I had placed on myself through cocaine use.

Now all I need to do is improve my memory :)

Thank you again for helping me,

Simon, Student, Brighton (14/09/09)

Weight Loss + Food Relationship (One Session)

"You saw me a week or so ago for a hypnotherapy session and I wanted to let you know I've got on this week.

Well, I'm not sure what you did but it seems to have done the trick. So far, so good anyway!! :)

I wanted to leave getting back to you till after the weekend, because even though the week has been great, I've often given in to temptation at the weekends. But even though we had lunch out - and a couple of drinks on Saturday night, I still managed to choose healthier options and didn't go over board. Normally I'd just say 'I'll worry about it on Monday'.

All week I've felt extremely positive about myself, food and losing weight. I'm not obsessing about it like I had been, and to be honest I haven't really thought about food until I've been hungry which is usually around lunchtime or tea time. Not every 10 minutes like it use to be! And I've also remembered things you suggested like drinking water first, then seeing how I feel, and eating smaller portions!

My boyfriend has noticed the biggest change in me really. He said he didn't want to mention it as he didn't want to make a big deal out of it. But he says I'm just so much more relaxed and happy - and in control. He couldn't believe that I hardly touched my glass of wine while we were having lunch. He was afraid I'd go too much the other way and deprive myself, but he was pleased that I still enjoyed myself on Saturday without the binge and guilt cycle I'd usually have.

So I'd like to say a big thank you, I'm so much happier and my clothes fit better already! I'm hoping this will be a lifestyle change for good now - instead of the constant battle I used to have. I feel different about everything - and don't feel like I'm on a diet - I've just changed my ways.

Thanks again, and I'll be sure to recommend you to other people."

Charlie Wilkins, Production Journalist, Brighton (22/06/09)

Stress + Relationships

"I found Kim a very kind, understanding and knowledgeable man. I would normally find it difficult to open up and talk through my problems with someone I didn't know, but Kim soon put me at ease which enabled him to get to the root of my problems and through hypnotherapy and visualizations overcome the issues which had been troubling me.

He has helped put the difficulties of my past behind me which had burdened me for too long and give me confidence and optimism for the future. It has been a very positive experience for me which I only regret I didn't do sooner. If you go to Kim you'll be surprised at what can be achieved. I would recommend him to anyone."

Jeff, Lancing (31/05/09)

Depression

"I am very, very grateful for your openness. It has helped me to acknowledge and alter a recurring pattern in my life, and to do so in a safe space with a therapist that I trust. I have come further in our sessions than with any other counselling before."

Anon, Lecturer, Brighton, (27/05/09)

Sleep

“It has been so good to finally sleep again, and I’m so grateful. Thank you so much for everything.”

Lucy Ponsford, Brighton, (23/04/09)

Suprise Result

“I’m surprising myself with how ok I am, and the amazing thing was that after you did that stuff about letting go of heavy bags, I woke up the next morning feeling light as a feather and bizarrely happy. Even more strange, after failing to lose any weight at all despite 4 weeks of trying, that morning I had lost 3lbs!!”

CB, Brighton, (07/04/09)

Phobia

"I wanted to let you know, and more importantly thank you, because I had a blood test on Friday 13th! I did not vomit, faint or anything afterwards, I just got up and walked out, which is something I really wouldn't have thought possible before our appointments. I did get very weepy immediately beforehand, but this is such huge progress and a few tears didn't seem to bother the nurse or me.

I really appreciate the discussions we've had and the encouragement and support you've given me. I think the name of your company (Possibilities Unlimited) is very apt - and now I have done this I hope I can use a similar approach to face any challenges.

Thank you again - my family are completely gobsmacked - I'm not, because I really did change my thinking in our second session, and knew I would do it, but I am pretty astonished at how quickly change is possible."

Caroline Banfield, Brighton, (15/02/09)

Food Relationship

"When I saw Kim Leader for hypnotherapy treatment I was astounded at how genuinely caring he was. He showed a wonderful understanding of how to free ourselves from the problems we face through changing our thought patterns and he demonstrated great skill through his hypnotherapy.

Kim is highly empathetic, a fantastic hypnotherapist and very professional. I would recommend him to anyone!"

Marigold O'Hare, Brighton (19/01/09)

Social Anxiety and Panic Attack

"I went to see Kim to overcome anxiety in work and social situations - on some occasions; I had even suffered panic attacks. I had got to the point where I just couldn't take it anymore and was avoiding situations to minimise the risk of it happening.

When the session started, we talked for about an hour before the hypnosis and Kim helped me to see how avoiding the situation was only fuelling the anxiety in the long term. He helped me to see things from a completely different perspective in a way that didn't make things such a big deal which in itself was a big deal for me!

He gave me some practical things to try such as just accepting it or even trying to 'bring it on' which in an odd kind of way calmed it all down! We talked a lot about what life will be like without the inappropriate anxiety and I began to see situations that I would previously have avoided as a distinct possibility. The hypnosis part was deeply relaxing and I remember having many visualisations of future situations and seeing myself feeling calmer and in control.

I had 2 sessions but even after the first one, I had an instinct that things felt pleasantly different. Since then, I've been able to share this with those people closest to me, which in itself has been a weight off my mind as it was previously a big secret. The biggest difference is that I have realised what it is like to look forward to those events which used to make me nervous.

Now, each time I come away from an event, I focus on what went well which seems to make me stronger and stronger as time goes on. Kim also made me see that to eradicate anxiety for good would be not be realistic as everyone experiences it from time to time and that is quite normal. The difference now is that my anxiety feels much more appropriate to what I'm doing and if I do feel like that, I just relax with it, go with it, accept it and I can't even remember at what point it goes away!

Thank you Kim!

Anon, Brighton (09/01/09)

Professional Testimonial

"As a working colleague of Kim's, I have always found him to have a creative and energetic approach to his work. This energy and creativity has a way of inspiring those people he works with, whether students or colleagues. He is also open to introducing and sharing new ways of working, resulting in a fresh, insightful and often playful space in which to work. "

Veronica Wiseman - Momentum Training & Consultancy (22/09/08)

Professional Testimonial

“Client's benefit from Kim's vast array of creative and practical skills, drawing on a range of approaches, combined with a comprehensive knowledge of substances and a genuinely compassionate understanding of the people he supports.'”

Paul Jacob, YOT Substance Misuse Specialist (07/08/08)

Depression (One Session)

“It is over a week since our session and I've been meaning to email you ever since to thank you. Not only for fitting me in at short notice but for the session itself which had a profound effect on my mood, my positivity and my attitude in the days following it - my original self-belief and enthusiasm came back, I was able to see clearly again.

Despite the last few days (some of the most difficult of my life) I have managed on the whole to keep my perspective and stay as calm and positive as I can - I know for a fact that if I had not seen you last week the events of the last few days would probably have pushed me over the brink.

A lot of the things you said to me during the hypnotherapy part remain constantly with me and are helping me get through.
All the best”

CW, Brighton (22/09/08)

Stop Smoking

“I didn't know what to expect but I went with an open mind although I was pretty determined that I wanted to stop smoking. I didn't think it would be quite so relaxing - my body seemed to melt into the chair, and I felt completely relaxed but I could hear and follow everything that was being said. When it was time to finish I didn't want to open my eyes, but I felt fine and was able to carry on with my work with no side effects and......I haven't had a cigarette since!”

I found the hypnotherapy 'experience' very good. It was hugely relaxing and I am keen to learn more about it. I would be interested in attending your introduction.

Pamela McQueen, Project Support Officer (10/03/08)

Professional Testimonial

"Kim Leader is an excellent therapist. He combines solid skills and wide experience with a uniquely caring attitude. He is well placed to treat depression, anxieties including phobias, trauma and sleep disorders as well as addictions and anger issues."

Mark Tyrrell, Creative Director of Uncommon Knowledge (21/11/07)

Sleep and Anxiety

"After having trouble sleeping and experiencing anxiety and stress at work, I tried herbal remedies, yoga and meditation, none of which helped. I then decided to try hypnotherapy. During the two hour session Kim was patient and reassuring and before being hypnotised Kim spent around 45 minutes determining what was causing my sleep problems.

I found it very constructive the way in which Kim made me aware of the route of my anxiety and have since been able to prevent situations inducing stress and anxiety which in turn has helped me sleep. Before my session with Kim I was having many sleepless nights but now this has been completely resolved.

The hypnosis was a very pleasant experience and I left the session with a strong sense of wellbeing.

I had not expected such amazing results in one session. My stress levels and lack of sleep was having a profound effect on my life and now the problem has been resolved I feel like a new person.

I am really grateful to Kim for his help and support and would recommend him to anyone who is having similar problems."

Christine Batty, Project Manager (12/11/07)

Professional Testimonial

I have found Kim’s ideas inspiring and thought provoking. He bubbles with enthusiasm alongside a passion for his work that ensures he gives each person the best service he can offer.

Luci Hammond, Young Women Substance Misuse Worker (23/10/07)

Stress

"Being sceptical about hypnotherapy, I went into my first session with Kim with as open a mind as possible. Now several sessions later, I not only believe, but fully endorse the concept.

Having a rather stressful job, I have found myself dealing with trying situations in a much calmer manner, by using methods, I believe, put in place whilst hypnotised.

I have found myself feeling more relaxed about work and life in general, with methods of dealing with situations far different to how I would have usually, prior to my sessions.

I find Kim very easy to talk to and feel relaxed by this calm but focused approach to the session. He ensures that a structure is put in place for my expectations and gains agreement prior to commencing the actual hypnotising.

I would thoroughly recommend hypnotherapy and particularly Kim, as I have truly benefited from the experience."

Robin Santall, Airline Security Manager (02/10/07)

Professional Testimonial

"I've known Kim for over four years and have admired his drive to better himself; in working, learning, and bringing up a family. He has gathered a number of skills and tools which have armed him on his journey of self discovery, and equipped him to work dynamically with others. His knowledge and enthusiasm have blended into a forward thinking developer of change. I enjoy his open conversation, his ability to listen and make a point. Humour complements his style and oils the workings of his relationships; creativity allows his skills to expand to meet a person on their terms."

Alistair Mayor, Counsellor (02/10/07)
