Barry Shirley Clinical Hypnotherapist

5 STAR RATING RECEIVED FROM NAT CONCERNING SMOKING & ALCOHOL

​

"Barry is absolutely the 'real deal'. He is a lovely, caring person who firstly succesfully helped me quit smoking (I was a smoker for more than 25 years) and had tried every way to stop. I haven't had a cigarette in 8 years.

 

And then to help me control my drinking - I was drinking too much and needed to stop. I have had friends use other hypnotherapy places for addictions without results so wouldn't bother seeing anyone but Barry.
I would Highly recommend!"

A Google Review received from Susan

 

I can’t thank Barry enough for helping my father finally quit smoking for good. It has been 6 months now and my Dad is still going strong and doesn’t even give smoking a single thought.

On a recent check up with his cardiologist, she was so impressed he had stopped smoking and was eager to know how he did it.

 

I highly recommended Barry and would for anybody who wants to stop for good. Barry is very understanding, considerate and his down to earth, calm manner would put anyone unsure of hypnotherapy at ease.

 

Thank you so much Barry - you are the best!

Myths of hypnosis

 

Entertainment hypnosis, films and books can add confusion to what hypnosis really is.

You are ALWAYS in control and will remember everything. Nobody can make you say or do what you don't want.

 

Hypnosis can be described as being in a daydream state. You are aware of your surroundings and can hear background sounds but nothing really bothers you.

 

You will feel a profound state of relaxation, peace and even bliss.
