Neil Durrans Therapy

MS 5 I cannot thank Neil enough for the incredible changes he’s made to me and my sons life. I have 50% less MS pains than before our sessions, working towards 100%. I have suffered with anxiety for years and after just ONE session Its all gone, absolutely remarkable. I highly recommend Neil for all obstacles you and your family may face. He has been my God send. I am happy to speak to anyone personally if you would like any further details. THANK YOU NEIL

Weight Loss 5 Since my last session I think it was 16 March 2020 I have been keeping up with my hard work in maintaining my weight and lowering my blood sugars.  I have recently had my blood results back and it has been very good.  I have managed to drop my levels and the diabeties nurse was very happy wlth me.  She said that she will stop the medication when my next blood results come back lower or even stable.   My weight is currently 75 kilos.   Which is good but I’m trying to lose another half a stone to get to my ideal weight.  If I’m able to.   I would like to say a big thank you to you because you have helped me to give me the courage to obtain these results.  I enjoyed my sessions and I will probably contact you again soon for one-off sessions.

Chronic pain 5 Though I wasn’t sure what to expect, my first visit to Neil was very reassuring. Firstly, Neil proved himself approachable and personable, which put me at my ease, and he’s a good listener. He clearly understood the vicious cycle of chronic pain and talked about it in a straightforward way. The technique he used was simple but effective and I was truly surprised at the benefit I gained in half an hour and just one treatment. The most dramatic effect has been on my standing, which is usually too painful to do for more than a couple of minutes. Since the treatment, I’ve been able to stand for a music lesson and then for a leisure activity - I’m amazed! I would certainly recommend Neil to anyone with similar issues.

Vertigo & Cervical Dystonia 5 I highly recommend working with Neil Durrans. I have blephoraspsm and cervical dystonia. I have had several sessions, and have much improvement already. He has also eliminated my vertigo, which I am very thankful. He spends a lot of time with you, and really wants to help you achieve your goals.

Chronic Pain 5 " I've attended my 4 hypnotherapy sessions, and the results in just a month have been amazing. After 13 years of dealing with cervical dystonia, along with having Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and arthritis, I'm currently pain free. Activities such as driving or sitting for long periods of time used to be extremely painful, and now I can enjoy road trips, dining out, and going to the movies with very little discomfort. I can't thank Neil enough for giving me the tools to continue on this journey towards recovery! "

Fibromyalgia 5 Hi my name is Yvonne and I have suffered with Fibromyalgia for over 20years being diagnosed in 2004 and before that not being able to get any kind of diagnosis,but knowing there was something very wrong! All the other symptoms were there apart from pain ,IBS,anxiety depression etc ,I was taking a cocktail of drugs which worried me a lot ,it was keeping the pain at a copeable level but what was it doing to the rest of my body ? I was flicking through Facebook as you do and I saw an article from Neil Durrens about a programme to get rid of fibro pain ! I read it and peoples reviews sounded good but I was a it sceptical and to be honest didn't believe what I was reading ! As his address was fairly near to where I live I thought what have I got to lose .... money yes if it proves to be a load of rubbish but nothing else has worked so I thought I'd give it a go ! It was a 4week fibro programme the 1st week Neil spoke to me and explained what he was going to do and incorporated som hypnotherapy . I felt a little bit better but I wasn't convinced ,the pain was still there but was my mind playing tricks I did feel a bit better ! I have now finished my 4 week programme, I can't tell you how it works I don't really care it's a mystery to me but it does ! I feel so much better,happier and relaxed most of you out there will feel like I did in the beginning but go through that door I promise you it's worth every penny and more ! Go for it !

Fear of flying 5 I went to see Neil because I had a deep fear of flying which just got worse as time went by. With a holiday abroad looming I was wondering how I would cope. A friend had recommended him extremely highly and I decided to book a session. I have to admit I was somewhat sceptical but am amazed at the result after just one session. Neil put me at ease immediately and I felt he truly understood my fear. He is engaging with a great sense of humour. When I got on the plane I was totally relaxed and the very bumpy descent prior to landing didn’t worry me in the slightest. I was able to enjoy my holiday without fear about the return flight. Neil, I really cannot thank you enough. Just incredible.

Kathryn  30 Sep 2019

Fear of being trapped - Cleithrophobia 4 I was allowing my fear to get out of control and my upcoming holiday was filling me with dread rather than excitement. I didn't even like being in rooms with shut doors let alone a plane with a sealed/airtight door, I really didn't know how talking to a stranger was going to make me feel any better but after reading the reviews I decided to give Neil a try. Neil is a very relatable, intelligent man with a calming nature. I listened to what he had to say, questioned what I needed to understand and he helped to unlock /remove fears that had rooted from past events. I would highly recommend Neil to others. I went on my holiday, had a lovely time and managed the flight there and back without a panic attack. Thank you Neil for your help.

Weight loss & pain treatment 5 I saw Neil for two reasons, to help me lose weight & to help with the chronic pain I’d been suffering with tendinitis. With the tendinitis, the doctor had basically told me to suck it up. Apparently it was brought on by holding my baby & wouldn’t get better until I stopped. Not very likely!! I was desperate, I’ve never been in so much pain in my life (and I’ve got a high pain threshold). After the first session there was a remarkable difference and I’m able to use my hands like a normal human being again! I also saw Neil for weight loss. As someone who has been a lifelong comfort eater, I’d been through some difficult times & gained a tonne! Then I had to quit smoking sharpish when I found out I was pregnant & that’s when I gained my second tonne! After having my baby, my weight kept going up instead of down & when I was nearly up to the weight I reached just before his birth I knew I needed help! I signed up for the program and it was the best decision I’ve made. Neil is down to earth, easy to talk to, funny and kind. He opened my eyes to so much about how our unconscious mind impacts our behaviours. The sessions were interesting, relaxing & most of all, they worked. Since our first session I’ve lost about 10kilos & feel motivated & that I have the power to keep going until I reach my target weight! He’ll tell you himself, “it’s not a magic wand” and that’s true, but it’s probably the next best thing. Would definitely recommend!!

Long-term neck & back pain 5 Had my first session with Neil yesterday for pain that I have in my right-hand side of my body, neck and back for a few years now. I've had to stop work because of it and conventional medicine has only done so much. Neil is incredibly easy to talk to and understood straight away what the problem was and how we could tackle it. Without giving too much away I went from finding it very painful and slow to get out of the chair to being pretty much pain free in the course of the hour or so. It was a very enlightening and pretty emotional experience! He's given me some other relaxation tools to use and we'll have a follow-up session after the summer. If like me you're in pain and feel like you've tried everything else then please give Neil a try!

Disc injury and sciatica 5 I went to see Neil for a session after 18 months of excruciating pain, it was a last resort for me and I felt I’d give it a go but didn’t hold out much hope after becoming disillusioned in any kind of treatment working. My skepticism was unfounded, I can genuinely say the session was fabulous and results amazing. Neil is personable, understanding, compassionate and very skilled. I felt at ease explaining the issues to Neil and not self conscious or awkward in the slightest. He is really knowledgable and engaging and I learnt a lot from the session which will remain helpful going forward. I felt better than I have felt for years due to Neil’s work, my pain is gone and I am not only extremely grateful but able to get on with my life and the things I couldn’t do previously. If you are considering going, I cannot recommend Neil enough.

Jen  16 Jul 2019

Fear of flying & birds 5 Neil is amazing !!!!... not only did he remove my fear of flying, he also removed my fear of birds in the same sitting. I went from not being able to have my back door open in case a bird flew in, to not hesitating picking up an injured crow and taking it to the local vet. I'm due to go on honeymoon soon and the very thought of stepping on the plane would bring me to tears & physically make me shake with fear ..... After seeing Neil i have no fear !!!..... i cant wait to step on that plane !!!... Thank you again Neil :-)

Lisa  14 Jul 2019

Anxiety 5 I went to see Neil suffering very badly from anxiety and feeling very low about myself . What a brilliant man he is I was a bit nervous at first but so glad I did it. After two sessions I feltl like a different person and this is down to Neil and all his hard work.. He is a very kind, caring person with a great sense of humour and has given me the tools to work with. I am so much more confident about myself and can see a better future. I can honestly say I don't know where I would be if I hadn't met Neil.. He truly wants to help.. Thank you so much Neil.. I wish you all the success in your profession..

Hypnotherapy to stop smoking 5 It has been a year since my husband saw Neil for a hypnotherapy session to stop smoking. We are a year on and not one cigarette in sight. Neil is amazing! We highly recommend his services.

Chrissy  18 Jun 2019

Superhero 5 I took my 9 year old to Neil Durrans after seeing such positive reviews about all he does for our community. I was keen to help my son with his fear of flying in advance of a trip away and I wasn’t disappointed! Neil is a joy. He has a wonderful, safe space that we met in and his personable, positive attitude put us both immediately at ease. The rest is just pure magic! My son left the session 40 minutes later, anxiety-free and looking forward to our holiday. Outstanding! I couldn’t recommend him highly enough!

Beth  31 May 2019

Old pain2go 5 I can only say amazing. For the 1st time in, well I can't remember, there was no back pain. Waking after a very good sleep to no aches and pains was fantastic and no painkillers needed. Neil, I am truly thankful I attended yesterday evening, despite the horrendous traffic. Karen

Karen  13 Mar 2019

Old Pain 2Go 5 I went to see Neil and a colleague Gary today with little or no hope of reducing my chronic lower back pain after trying several other different treatments over several years. My problem (degenerative disc disease) will never go away but at least now I won't have to go down the major surgery route. With no touch, my pain went from a 9/10 on arrival to a 0 on leaving 30 minutes later. I was able to bend to the floor with ease to pick up my belongings. Isn't the mind an amazing thing? I would recommend a visit to Neil for every one of you suffering from long term pain. You are both incredible 🙏🙏🙏and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me my life back.

Sheila  28 Feb 2019

Claustrophobia 5 I would recommend Neil Durrans Therapy to anyone lacking in confidence and feeling overwhelmed by a problem that affects your everyday life. My mum had been very Claustrophobic for years and had been unable for a long time to enter a lift. After just one session with Neil she has been able to travel in lifts of any description with confidence. It has made her life a lot more comfortable. I too went to see Neil for help with a phobia I have had since childhood. I told him about another issue I was struggling with and he said that he could treat both in one session. I left feeling extremely positive and have seen great results. Thank you so much Neil

Tanya  4 Feb 2019

Cervical Dystonia 5 Neil's hypnotherapy programme for cervical dystonia is excellent. It is easy to follow providing you have the dedication to do daily exercises as Neil trains you to do. Neil is always available to give clear advice after the course is finished.I would recommend this for people suffering from cervical dystonia or blepharospasm to try and move away from the awful condition without botox or meds.

Margaret  4 Feb 2019

Claustrophobia 5 I came to see Neil a few months ago for a session to help with my claustrophobia - I thought I'd report in and let you know that I can now travel willingly and without stress on the underground - making travel around London a lot easier! I have taken lifts too - when needed but still prefer the stairs 😉. All told - a successful outcome for me, so thank you!

Weight loss 5 I had 4 sessions with Neil for weight loss just before coming away on holiday. I have struggled with my weight all my life and really wanted to try something different, rather than yet another diet. I have always been a snacker and my alcohol intake has crept up in recent years, so I wanted to try to change my habits. I was really apprehensive about the idea of hypnotherapy but Neil’s great reviews gave me the confidence to get in touch. I need not have worried as Neil is incredibly easy to talk to (we talked about all sorts of things in fact!) and he could not have made me feel more comfortable and relaxed. I lost 5lbs over the course of the sessions and feel my approach to food has really changed for the better. I am on holiday now so can’t weigh myself but certainly feel that I have been eating healthily so am optimistic that the good work has not been undone! I highly recommend Neil - in fact I have booked another session with him when I return to address my claustrophobia.

Weight loss 5 If you are wanting/needing to lose weight I highly recommend Neil’s weight loss program. I began the program on June 19th and found Neil easy to talk to, supportive, informative, and very friendly. At the end of the four sessions, 5 weeks, I felt like I had known Neil for years and I miss our talks. In the 9 weeks since starting the program I have lost 22.6 lbs and the weight is still coming off effortlessly. I haven’t eaten any cookies, chips, or any other junk food I was eating since beginning the program and I have no desire to either. People are always bringing food into the office and one day, not long after starting the program, I walked by the kitchenette and noticed that someone had brought in donuts. I would have normally stopped and grabbed one but I just kept walking and after I had passed them I realized I had not stopped to get one and had no desire to either. I’ve tried different diets and lost a few pounds but have never experienced this much weigh loss. Each week I’m enjoying going through my closet and cabinet to find clothes that haven’t fit me for years and to package up the clothes that are too large now to donate to a local charity. Stop procrastinating and contact Neil .

Phobia 5 Dear All, I just want to say what a brilliant man, Neil is! I should have written my review on here ages ago. I cannot thank him enough! I was a little skeptical and anxious at first but I must assure anyone who is or has any doubts, give it a go. I did, and I’m so glad that I did. I had a phobia which was burdening me and my life - after one session, I feel like I am in control and not my phobia. I have my control back and a sense of relief. It’s been a number of weeks and I am aware of my thoughts and actions and I feel that for the first time in my life I have control over my destiny. I am happier for it! Just ask my family and friends. Neil, thank you for all that you have done for me. You are a wonderful person and I’m so thankful I came to you. I promise, I will come to you for our hypnosis session. I cannot wait. I urge anyone who has ever thought about over coming certain phobias to give Neil a try. He is an honest man and helped me defeat my fears. You are in great hands. Thank you once again, Neil. See you very soon. Kindest Regards,Lea

Weight loss. 5 Hi all, I'm off on my holiday today one happy lady, the reason for that is, i had weight loss sessions with Neil Durrans, since my first visit in April I've lost an amazing 11lb!!!!!!! All without consciously thinking about. Lovely man who puts you at ease and funny too. Thank you Neil.

Linsey Deller  23 Jun 2018

Summer Body Program 5 I have to say that, when I went to Neil for help for weight loss it also included help for over drinking alcohol. After my first session I stopped drinking at home and am now More in control to the point that I barely drink now. I've finished my sessions now and have lost 9lb in 6 weeks and feel fantastic. Neil is so supportive , funny and a great listener as well as a marvelous hypnotherapist. Thank you Neil you've changed my life:)

Linsey  2 Jun 2018

5 After attempting to quit smoking and failing miserably. I went to see Neil on the recommendation of 2 friends who had previously used his services and 2 weeks on i have not had a cigarette or even fancied one. Thank you very much Neil!

Fibromyalgia 5 I’ve just completed my very first session with Neil and to say I’m simply blown away is an understatement. I have suffered with Chronic pain (Fibromyalgia) for the past 5 and a half years that was bought on by the stress of losing my 2nd child. When I went to see Neil for a consultation he was extremely welcoming and really made me feel at ease. I knew straight away that I felt comfortable.My first session I walked in with pain scoring around 5/10 which was a really good day for me. He told me that I would walk out pain free. As you can imagine I was a little sceptical, but I put my trust in Neil to do his ‘thing’ and just went with the flow. My first session was absolutely incredible. I can not describe exactly what happened but I literally felt the pain leave my body. And guess what, I walked out PAIN FREE!!!! I’m due to see Neil every fortnight for the next 8 weeks to tackle a few issues, and I can’t wait. I don’t know exactly ‘how’ he does what he does but I do know that it works. I’ve been pain free for 3 days now

Hypnotherapy for pain relief 5 Another 5* review for Neil Durrans, my appointment yesterday for pain relief from arthritis was incredible, I don’t know why I was surprised I had already read other reviews but it really was an exceptional experience with a very talented therapist!https://m.facebook.com/Neilslearningpathways/

Maria Chetcuti  18 Mar 2018

Weight Loss 5 I have had 4 sessions with Neil for weight loss and I've found it really amazing. Neil is supportive ,realistic and uplifting and I really enjoyed the sessions ..the time out. I've always been a real picker and had terrible sugar cravings I've lost a stone in the 8 week period and I've not been on a diet I've reduced the picking and 'emotional eating'. In the past I've tried diets lost a few stone put it on again with more I'm sure lots of you relate to this. I feel this has really worked in my mind .I would highly recommend it ..you're worth it !!

Annemarie  18 Mar 2018

Pain 5 I had a session for a pain that has been with me for 4 years I can’t believe that it’s gone while I was there Neil also helped me with my breathing I haven’t felt this good in monthsI will defiantly book a stop smoking session Highly recommend going to see NeilThank you Neil

Stopped Smoking! 5 Reviews: A couple of years ago I was something of an emotional vacuum, I was reeling from the loss of 2 close family members and the breakdown of a very long relationship, as such I had come to rely on my trusty Marlboro lights to get me through most days. The side effect of this was as I found myself easily going through 20+ cigarettes a day and my health was suffering to a degree I was not entirely prepared for, I found myself short of breath after just short walk and even upon waking up, I took the decision to quit smoking for the sake of my health but as I and I’m sure many others who smoke will know it is far from an easy thing to do, I’d tried cold turkey, ‘Vaping’, gum and all sorts of other so called cures but alas each time all it would take was a rise in my stress levels to see me reaching for my lighter once again. It was at this point I made the decision to try something radical, I was going to seek professional help, I was pointed on Neils direction than none other than the lovely Emma Rigby and I have to say it is quite possibly the best things I have ever done, it has now been 8 months almost to the day and I have not touched nor even felt the need for a cigarette and all this from a single session that lasted an hour. Neil May not look an awful lot like Gandalf but he certainly is a wizard and I cannot thank him enough for giving me a new lease on life. Also it has saved me £2500 in that time which isn’t bad either

Richard  14 Jan 2018

Back pain 5 I went to a session today offered for free which was a great start very optimistic when I arrived I had a lovely welcome and felt completely at ease . I have suffered severe sciatica and back pain for many years and have had a dull ache in my side for a good few months that I couldn’t shift . Well after today’s session that has entirely gone I do not feel the pain at all instead I feel like a weight has been taken off . I would highly recommend Neil and he’s colleagues and will defiantly be returning thank you Neil xx

Nadine  22 Dec 2017

weight loss 5 After the 8 week course with Neil for weight loss I have very definitely changed my eating habits and pattern very very dramatically. I did the course at an unfortunate time of change and instability in my life, but I have still lost almost half a stone without ever feeling deprived or starving or hard done by as I have done in the past with other weight loss methods. Neil has altered my concept of food and my relationship with food is much more wholesome and healthy. He listened to me and picked out where my problem areas are, and these would be different for different people, and so he tailored the programme to suit my exact issues. I would definitely recommend Neil's treatment to anyone, and I will be doing so to anyone who asks my advice on any of the areas where Neil can help, not just weight loss, as I truly believe in his skills and care.

Toddy Peters  6 Nov 2017

Weight loss 5 I have now completed my 8 week programme with Neil for weight loss. I'm extremely happy to say I have lost a stone so far purely through Neil, no gym and no dieting. Neil has made me feel amazing about myself and I can't wait to see how much more I can lose. Would definitely recommend. Thankyou Neil for everything

Ellie  25 Aug 2017

OldPain2Go 5 I would sincerely like to thank Neil for a recent session of pain reduction which accomplished a great difference in the Polymyalgia pain I have been dealing with for the past 10 months. Since prednisone has so many nasty side effects, I would encourage anyone with chronic pain to speak with Neil and pursue this avenue. Thankyou Neil for your thorough explanation and direction through this process. All our best in your caring work. Loretta

Loretta  25 Aug 2017

Fear of Flying 5 I went to see Neil as i was very anxious about flying. I left feeling relaxed and without fear. Looking forward to my holiday now. Thank You.

Christina  22 Aug 2017

Chronic pain 5 I initially contacted Neil for help with weight loss. Whilst talking to him I mentioned that I suffered with Polymyalgia Rheumatica for several years and my shoulder was painful, to a lesser degree my knees.Neil decided to deal with the pain first and I am delighted to say that I left pain free. I was able to lift my arm to comb my hair for the first time in years.I would definitely recommend Neil, I will write again when I have completed the weight loss program

Kathleen  8 Aug 2017

Smoking 5 It's been nearly 7 months and I'm still not smoking

Pauline  31 Jul 2017

Weight loss 5 I've seen Neil for 4 sessions. I was sceptical when I went and I must admit that I still don't fully understand exactly how it works but worked it has. I've been overweight for more than 30 years always saying I'm going to lose weight and lasting no more than a week. The sessions were only over 5 weeks but I've already lost around 10 pounds. There's no diet as such involved just retraining your body to just eat 3 meals a day and recognise when you are full. I feel more positive about continued weight loss this time.

Lindsay Rawlings  20 Jul 2017

Amazing results with chronic pain 5 I had 2 sessions with Neil, part of his free 10 sessions he was going to do when he qualified. We did one session on reducing chronic pain which I have had for 15 years. The sessions made a noticeable difference, I feel in control of the pain and have the ability to stop it coming on as strong as before. It shows what a great person Neil is to help people for free as he knows he can make a difference. Prior to the session I didn't quite believe that it could help, how could it stop or improve pain I'd had for 15 years when nothing else had worked. But it has helped! I'd definitely recommend Neil and a session to anyone in pain. You've got nothing to loose and a lot to gain from giving it a go! Neil genuinely cares about people and wants to help! Thanks again Neil!

Melissa  6 Jul 2017

Oldpaintogo 5 After having the treatment myself, I took my 16 year old daughter to see Neil. She also suffers from hEDS. She said the feeling is so strange & the pain has disappeared. Yesterday she said she was able to eat a bagel without her jaw hurting for the first time in years! And her shoulder pain has gone! She can now live the life of a normal 16 year old. Look forward to returning with my 19 year old daughter with the same condition.

Lisa Giller  3 Jul 2017

Neil Duran 5 Wow, what can I say? I'm very sceptical about alternative treatments, but this went well beyond my expectations. Left the session feeling relaxed, and with the least amount of pain I can ever remember. Highly recommend.

Abi Rose  28 Jun 2017

5 I have suffered with Extreme body pain for the last two years every day. And have been on heavy medication. My consultant has said it's A Chronic, life long condition. Today I Visited Neil at his practice in Enfield. This is the first day in two years on a scale of 1-10 (usually being a 10) my pain level is a 2/3.I feel like a new person in just one day!He gave me great practical advice along with the treatment. Im already looking forward to my next session. I would Highly recommend him.

Semoy whiteman  16 Jun 2017

5 Went for one session after suffering a migraine for 4 weeks and walked out feeling relaxed and refreshed I have been pain free for 3 days now. Highly recommend. Would now consider going back for weight loss therapy.

Sarah  13 Jun 2017

Weight loss 5 Well where do I start.... I have recently completed my 4 sessions over 8 weeks with Neil. I felt fantastic and positive after each session. I'm happy to say I have lost a total of 26lbs and feeling fabulous. I'm not on a diet, not obsessing or thinking about food. I can't explain it but I just don't want the bad stuff! I eat 3 meals a day, drink plenty of water and enjoy getting on with my life without weighing food or counting points. It's very liberating. If you've ever struggled with snacking, yo yo dieting or over eating give Neil a call. It really will change your life. I can't thank him enough for changing mine

Fiona  9 Jun 2017

5 My partner visited Neil today due to pain in his leg from a bike accident last year where he broke his leg. Neil made him feel very comfortable and the method he used, my partners pain was gone straight away after. Would defo recommend his services.

Camilla Gould  2 Jun 2017

Snacking & fear of driving 5 Neil helped me with both a phobia of driving and reducing the habit of snacking. He was very understanding and friendly and was able to get to the root of my issues easily. The experience of being hypnotised was extremely relaxing and I felt happy, positive and well rested afterwards. As well as a feel-good experience, the treatment has worked wonders and both of my 'issues' were fixed after one session of treatment. Particularly with the snacking, I have been able to not only stop myself going to the biscuit tin but have been able to resist temptation when people actively offer me treats. I would highly recommend Neil's Learning Pathways to anyone with a problem with a bad habit or attitude they can't break - it's within you to fix it, and Neil show you how to do it!

Dystonia 5 I am writing a short account of my journey of recovering from Focal Dystonia of Hand a.k.a Writer's Cramp. The journey started 6 weeks ago with Neil Durrans when I contacted him to enquire if he can treat Hand Dystonia and he agreed ! From there we set onto this journey of Hypnosis(Hypnotherapy) and since then there is no looking back.Following are the symptoms and the relief I have got in the same:-1) Pain - The unbearable pain in the fingers has eased alot. Wrist pains now since I have started using my finger and new muscles which will eventually subside.2) Using Index Finger - I was never able to use my index finger since years which I do now :) The biggest relief is to be able to use my dominant finger for writing although I need a lot of practice to make it a habit.3) Numbness of Hand- Numbness was the major issue which has completely disappeared. Since a month or so I dont even remember whether such a symptom ever existed.4) Writint with Ease- I never wrote with ease since childhood. Alot of pressure and tension while writing made my Dystonia worse. But now I have started writing with ease . It might take few months more to accept this way of writing but I have started doing that and that is a big progress.5) Anxiety- Anxiety which the major issue with most of the Dystonia Patients and with me as well has almost dipped at negligible level. I have become a much calmer person and Hypnosis is a wonderful way to achieve that.Hypnosis is nothing but a guided relaxation therapy which kind of retrain your brain in order to overcome Dystonia. Do give it a try if you people want to change your life and tired of those medications !Grateful to Neil Durrans for his efforts over these weeks and the results which I have achieved!

Ritika  6 May 2017

Dystonia 5 I have now completed my 6 sessions of hypnotherapy with Neil Durrans who has started me on a journey to retrain my brain and I'm still amazed how far I've come in just a few weeks. Before this journey began I had become depressed due to living in so much pain every minute of every day and losing the ability to hold my head in the correct position without holding it and now things are so much better my pain has decreased tremendously and I've seen fantastic improvement in being able to hold my head longer in the correct posstion than I have been able to do in years it's fantastic my confidence is on the up and I feel so much stronger. Neil's hypnotherapy sessions aren't a miracle cure but they have given me greater results than anything else I have tried and believe me I've tried lots of different treatments conventional and complementary. I wish Neil much success with his hypnotherapy programme and I feel so privileged to have been given the chance to try it out. I know I've got to carry on doing all the things Neil taught me on a daily basis but it's a small price to pay for the great improvement this gives me. Thank you so much Neil keep up the great work x

Fear of heights 5 I recently spoke to Neil and had a phone session regarding my lifelong fear of heights. On my 5th wedding anniversary we had been to Paris and I had refused to go up the Eiffel Tower. We were returning for our 20th WA and I wanted to resolve it! I was already feeling panicky just looking at guide books! One session and I took the STAIRS!!! I am a therapist myself and so really appreciated Neil's warm yet no nonsense approach!

Smoke Free 5 I am not saying to much at present, as it is still early day's but after 30 years of smoking 20 a day, I have now been smoke free for just over three week's.No patches or gum, no grumpy mood swings or biting peoples heads off. From a sceptic to a believer, and I would recommend it to anyone.

Cervical Dystonia 5 Neil has been helping me with coping with my Cervical Dystonia symptoms. NLP has helped me to learn how to properly relax and has helped with reducing the severity of my symptoms. Dystonia is a movement disorder and NLP is helping me to reduce my stress levels and in turn gain more self confidence and a better quality of life. Thank you Neil, you area very special person

Weight loss by phone 5 Had another great session with Neil this morning over the fne and glad to be 10lbs lighter than i was well chuffed with that

Carol  20 Mar 2017

Phone Hypnosis 5 I want to say a huge thank you to Neil. I had my second session last week and it gave me the confidence to tackle four nights in a hotel - three of which were in a five star one on the Costa Blanca celebrating a friend's 70th birthday. I was very fearful before going as I have always gained at least half to a stone when on my jollies. This time - BIG CHANGE - I actually lost a few ounces when I got weighed on my return - totally unheard of for me. So thank you Neil for enabling me to listen to my subconscious mind, make good choices and STOP when I'd had enough. Four breakfasts, four lunches and four dinners - get in there. Feeling much more positive for the first time in years.

Smoking cessation 5 I was a social smoker who had a cigarette whenever I had a drink. I didn't think of myself as a smoker as I only smoked when out but I realised that I was smoking every time I had a drink so it had to stop. I impulsively booked to see Neil and found him really personable and felt confident he could help. The hypnosis was relaxing and I left there and haven't looked back. It's been a month and I haven't smoked. What's most interesting is that it doesn't even enter my head when I'm in a social situation. And I've even kept smokers company when they go out for a smoke without craving one at all. I'm delighted and know I'll never smoke again. Thank you Neil. You're brilliant!

Hypnotherapy 5 I have just finished my 6 weeks working with Neil for blepharospasm and it has been a very positive experience! Neil is very professional and caring and went out of his way to support me, not only with the BEB, but with other issues I am working on. I have gained positive results in all areas and whilst it is not a cure it is a very positive improvement overall.I am very glad I decided to work with Neil. He is a very kind and caring person and with his humour, which is infectious, is was a joyful experience.I have gained many tools to work with and to carry into the future. Overall it has been a very positive and uplifting experience!Thank you Neil !

Jenny  22 Feb 2017

Feeling better than ever before!! 5 I went for sessions with Neil over one year ago and I felt compelled to write and say that I am now feeling better than I have ever felt in my entire life! I put this down to learn news tools and techniques from him that have enhanced my life in a very profound way. I use my confidence visualisation circle whenever I need it and it works every time! I have also been able to utilise other visualisation techniques he taught me to banish things that are causing worry or upset. I so wish I had gone to him sooner and not suffered years of low self esteem and anxiety, His sessions really are so powerful and life changing and I really can not recommend him highly enough!

Jo  9 Feb 2017

Weight loss 5 Had my very first hypnotherapy done over the phone this morning by Neil as many other people will say like me there sceptical !! i for one

Carol  9 Feb 2017

quitting smoking 5 Up until my session with Neil, I had been a smoker for more than 40 years and so it is truly remarkable that after meeting with Neil I have had no inclination to smoke at all ! I still don't understand fully how the process works- all I know is that for the first time in many , many years, I do not feel the need to smoke . I feel so happy to have achieved this personal goal that I would recommend Neil's services to anyone who wishes to stop smoking.

Diane Pryor  9 Feb 2017

Weight Loss 5 I've had two sessions of therapy to help me with weight loss and to help reduce the very high levels of blood sugar I've had for a long time which has, and is life threatening. My first session with Neil was at the beginning of November, and from the very first day I couldn't believe the change in me. I cannot explain it because I am still me, only my eating habits have changed. The first immediate change was to the portion size on my plate, I couldn't believe I actually left food on my plate, which I've never done before. Then I refused chocolate being offered, now let's face it who declines chocolate! I have been forever fighting with myself, but never had the strength to tell the little devil in my brain to go away. Well Neil has changed all that. Today I went back to my GPs surgery for my blood results and my sugar levels have gone down by almost 3 levels. I've lost over 1 stone, and my clothes are falling off me. I am not dieting, I am not taking pills, this is so natural, it is a new way of living. My goal is carry on and hopefully reverse my diabetes.I wish to thank Neil and recommend him to all who have weight problems and other issues, my only regret is that I did not know of his services years ago, if I had I could have prevented becoming a diabetic.

Hypnotherapy 5 Today I completed my second session with Neil and just wanted to update you all on the progress I have been making. Immediately after the first session my eyes were wide open and I felt almost normal although it did not last for a long period of time. After this second session my eyes remained open for a little longer period of time. I know it will require some dedication and work practicing the relaxation techniques but I am looking forward to the third session with a positive attitude.

Angela  27 Jan 2017

Over eating hypno! 5 I went to see Neil on a whim. I have struggled with food issues and eating too much for 30 odd years or more. I was very skeptical and listened to his explanation of how it could help with interest but an underlying disbelief if I am honest.Neil's manner is relaxed and he is non judgemental and calm.I left feeling relaxed and happy but not really convinced that anything had changed.I went home and since then 2 weeks ago it's as though he flicked my brain over to a more healthy approach and I am craving fruit and water and I have lost the desire to snack rubbish all day long. It's very odd but it works and was the best £60 I have spent in a long time. I have been telling everyone about it.! If only it were available on the NHS I am sure some of the obesity issues could be solved.

New Year, clear mind :) 5 I've just had an amazing hypnotherapy session with Neil Durrans. At the start of a new year, I like to look at goals for the new year, and what better combination is a bit of relaxation to go with it. 2016 was a really busy and full on year for me and it wasn't til I came out of the session that I realised the impact the year had on me. I feel so relaxed yet so energised, and all the tension and weight I've been carrying has just been lifted away in just one session. #recharged #feelingstrong #grateful (the hashtags could go on and on!) Oh and to get in an 80s reference feeling like the Mr Soft advert!!! Highly recommend Neil

Jo  24 Jan 2017

Hypnotherapy 5 Neil, just wanted to say thank you for my last therapy session....I used what you taught me yesterday and it helped me get through the surgery and the lead up to it. All went well thankfully.......You will be glad to know I was happily wandering around the Lost Valley in Glen Coe enjoying the breeze, the flowers and the babbling burn instead of lying on the theatre trolley! Thumbs up for hypnotherapy! :)

Gillian  23 Dec 2016

Weight loss 5 I had NLP and hypnotherapy with Neil with the aim of retaining y recent weight loss. I foundNeil very sympathetic and I think the hypnotherapy has worked - I am in much greater control of my eating!

Gina  14 Nov 2016

Weight loss 5 I see the value in Neil's (NLP) approach that other hypnotherapists may not necessarily have. He takes time to talk to you and the thoughts and suggestions then stay in your head, making the treatment more effective.

Maria  8 Nov 2016

Hypnotherapy 5 Most grateful for Neil's generosity for sharing his expertise and his time! I look forward to continuing our sessions which I am finding most beneficial, in my ongoing therapy for recovery.

Anon  31 Oct 2016

Weight loss 5 I have had two sessions with Neil. He's a very lovely, calm man who really listened to me and put me at my ease. The sessions left me feeling refreshed and very positive. Highly recommended.

Anon  16 Oct 2016

Hypnosis 5 Had my session with Neil today, I feel wonderful and more positive. Neil gave me a free consultation on Tuesday and hypnosis today (Thurs) I never felt rushed or pressured into more sessions.

jan bowman  8 Sep 2016

Hypnosis 5 I have had 2 sessions with Neil over the phone was skeptical but 1st session on giving up chocolate was amazing and worked, 2nd was eating wrong foods and eating proper meals. Again a huge success. I am thrilled Neil could do over phone as live no where near him. He has a great manner and really easy to talk to and disclose issues, more Importantly it works!!!Have a few more issues to address through hypnosis and 100% certain Neil will help resolve them.He has never pushed me for.more sessions and has gone at my pace.Highly recommend!!!!

Paula Watkins  25 Jul 2016

stopping smoking 5 2 weeks after a session with Neil im still smoke free. I dont want to smoke anymore after numerous attempts at quitting. You still get withdrawl from the nicotine but you really feel like you have never smoked. Im off the patches already.

anon  6 Jul 2016

Feeling fantastic 5 Pure Genius. I was struggling with anxiety. Having young kids, working and poor health in the family it was all getting too much. 3 weeks on I am sooo in control. Housework done. Kids meals cooked in advanced. Working overtime. Nothings stopping me now. I have not had had a single migraine and feel so chilled. I cant thank you enough Neil

Angie  21 Jun 2016

Weight loss 5 Went to see Neil to help with losing weight. Was feeling really nervous but found him really easy to talk to. Left feeling really motivated to start my journey and have now rejoined gym after 12 years which is a great achievement for me. Will keep you all updated on my progress. Thankyou

Dawn  31 May 2016

Interview Anxiety 5 Having very serious and problematic interview anxiety I decided to use Neil's service based on other reviews I had read. Neil was very professional, calming and got to the heart of the matter quickly. He gave me a few techniques such as teaching yourself to control that negative voice in your head. He also taught me how to take control of situations with more confidence, and breathing techniques for calmness. He then hypnotised me in the session and this made me feel very positive and confident that I was going to be great in the interview. The interview went very well, I have never felt like I've been able to take control in an interview before. I have always felt like the weak person, being judged in the situation. In this interview I was able to take control, and I actually really enjoyed the experience for the first time! Usually I could never think of great answers or examples of my work - I would just waffle until the awful thing was over. During this interview I was a completely different person. As a result I have offered a job! I would say that Neil's session was a great success, great value for money and I would recommend to a friend.

Sara  31 May 2016

Hypnotherapy 5 Since having a hypnotherapy session in early March to tackle anxiety, I have felt far more calm, positive and focussed and was so impressed with results that when I found my hormonal cravings were starting to merge into comfort eating, I didn't hesitate to contact Neil. I fell into an even deeper state of relaxation this time and came out feeling relaxed, energised and in control. Watch this space...

Gill  27 May 2016

Driving test nerves 5 Further to my review below, I had two sessions with Neil and I have now passed my driving test! Hypnotherapy with Neil's Learning Pathways has been a massive success for me! Whilst it took two sessions (and two tests), I felt far more confident before both of those than any previous driving tests. The second session particularly beneficial as it filled me with an incredible self-confidence in my driving ability. The power of your subconscious mind is an amazing thing that Neil can help harness for good. Yes, I still had some nerves but overall I felt like I was going to show the examiner my driving skills, rather than being judged. That stayed with me and as a result I felt in control and less intimidated by the examiner. And I passed! I am so glad I took a chance and went to see Neil Durrans!

Amy  27 May 2016

Sugar Cravings 5 I got to the point where there was nothing to lose re getting rid of my passion for all things sugary.....I have to say that I arrived a bit sceptical but was relaxed the moment I met Neil. I wanted to quit sugar . A month later, after seeing Neil - I have no interest in eating sweets, chocolate, cake or biscuits. Im delighted with the results. Neil was great and really focussed on my specific area. Thanks Neil.

Anon  18 May 2016

5 I read previous reviews for Neil and was intrigued what NLP actually meant. I've been wanting to eat healthier and take some control back of my life. Met Neil and immediately felt at ease and really enjoyed the session. I will be back and highly recommend.

Caroline  29 Apr 2016

5 Have seen Neil twice. Lovely gentleman and instantly you feel calm and relaxed with him. Seeing him on two separate issues. Early days but all seems to be going extremely well and I'm making the right steps.

Lauren  27 Apr 2016

Great experience 5 Fantastically refreshing hypnotherapy.So relaxed today. Less stressed, more focused. True professional highly recommended x

Barbara Ginty  22 Apr 2016

Hypnotherapy 5 I had a great experience at my hypnotherapy session last night. I came out very positive with a new way of thinking. Neil gave me some ways to deal with stresses as well which are so useful. The most important thing I felt I learnt was that you can break a habit and how long it takes to make one. I hope to use all of this in my everyday life.

Debbie  18 Apr 2016

Hypnotherapy 5 I saw Neil Durrans a couple of weeks ago. We talked about snacking amongst other things. Well, since then I haven't snacked at all, if I'm genuinely hungry I have a healthy bite and I've had no cakes or biscuits except trying one of the cakes I baked for sports relief at work. In the staff room and at home there are so many temptations, but I feel so strong and something is stopping me from reaching out and grabbing treats. Alongside continuing to walk everywhere, I've lost half a stone already and it's all thanks to you, Neil. Thanks so much.

Alice  14 Apr 2016

4 We engaged Neil to work with our eight year old who was afraid of dogs after being bitten. We had one session with Neil and after that session, our eight year old is now a lot more confident and more at ease around dogs. Neil has a relaxed manner and good with children.

Sangeeta Haindl  14 Apr 2016

Fears and Phobias 5 I went to see Neil in the hope that he could help me with some issues, mainly my sweet tooth. I was nervous before going but I shouldn't have been, Neil is a professional, friendly person and he made me feel at ease straight away. It's been a week since I saw Neil and I haven't eaten any chocolate!

monica  14 Apr 2016

Feeling Good! 5 I decided I would go and see Neil Durrans of Neil's Learning Pathways this evening for some hypnotherapy and I feel AMAZING. It was such a fantastic experience from start to finish. I feel relaxed yet energised, and bubbling with positivity. If you have any anxieties, or phobias or habits and you always have that niggling at the back of your mind wondering if hypnotherapy or NLP is something you could try I urge you to just pluck up the courage and do it. You deserve to feel good and it can do amazing things for you. Neil is a lovely guy, one of those people you feel like you've known forever and could chat to all day long. Thank you so much Neil for having such an amazing impact on me and my mind :)

JO JOHNSON  22 Mar 2016

Fears and phobias 5 I personally recommend Neil. I have had more than one sessions with him and for different purposes and absolutely delighted. Left feeling really for a new start, very calm and relaxed. Neil is an extremely pleasant, professional, friendly and helpful person but above all the results are visible.

Sue  18 Mar 2016

NLP and Hypnotherapy session 5 I have just returned from a session with Neil to tackle nerves and anxiety about passing my driving test. Whilst I was initially sceptical about how I would respond to hypnotherapy, Neil eased my fears with a detailed explanation of the benefits then his soothing voice got me to a state of total relaxation. I was really surprised by the sense of calm I was left with and how this helped me be open to the other techniques that Neil taught me. What Neil does really well is helps you use positive past experiences to gain confidence in tackling new ones. I am looking forward to using the techniques to help me approach situations more calmly and confidently. Thank you Neil!

Amy  8 Mar 2016

Hypnotherapy 5 I really enjoyed my session with Neil today. We started by talking about the issues I wanted to address and I found this discussion really helpful to understand what to expect from hypnotherapy, as well as allowing me to make a bit more sense of my own thoughts and feelings to begin with! The hypnotherapy itself was enlightening - it surprised me how I was able to focus on what Neil was telling me and I left feeling that the images he created in my mind will help me. He has a really calm and positive manner that fills you with confidence and makes you feel empowered. Thank you, Neil

Alice  7 Mar 2016

Hypotherapy 5 I saw Neil today for hypnotherapy to address anxiety related issues and, based on this session, I would certainly recommend contacting him. He was quick to set me at ease and I reached a very relaxed state, coming out feeling calm and positive.

Gill  3 Mar 2016

Hypnotherapy 5 Didn't even realise I had been put into a trance like state to cure my smoking habit. I feel wonderful. Don't think I will ever touch a cigarette again. Thank you Neil

Sue Howard  26 Feb 2016

Depression, anxiety and phobias 5 I had approximately 8 sessions from Neil and in that short space of time he totally changed my life around! I was suffering from depression, phobias and anxiety, and my confidence and self esteem were rock bottom. The techniques he uses are so powerful that they made an immediate impact on me, first conquering my negative inner voice, then dealing with the phobias and all the while lifting my depression. I set goals with him too and much to my amazment I was able to achieve them all!!I would recommend Neil to anyone who is suffering from depression, phobias or anxiety, or who wants to raise their confidence and self esteem or to make positive changes in their life. Neil really uses such powerful techniques and has such a kind and encouraging manner too. Thank you Neil for giving me my life back!

Jo  10 Dec 2015

5 Neil is a great listener and gave me clear and simple techniques to follow in achieving my goals in a calm and measured way. I now use these techniques as and when I need them. Simple and effective.

Paul  8 Dec 2015

Review 5 I visited Neil of Learning Pathways today to assist with some anxiety issues which had arisen since my pregnancy. Neil has a very calming ora about him, and not only did he provide me with very positive reassurance, he also gave me very logical mechanisms to manage the anxiety moving forward. I would definitely recommend Neil to anyone who needs support dealing with depression or anxiety problems. Thank you for the recommendation LYDS!

Clare Innaurato  4 Dec 2015

5 As a nail biter all my life, I am delighted to say that I am the proud owner of a lovely full set of nails. I don't need to know what Neil did, people keep complimenting me on my funky painted nails. Thank you as someone who presents for work and works with young people its nice not be embarrassed by my hands anymore.

Liz  19 Oct 2015

Fear of heights sorted - thanks Neil! 5 Having had a fear of heights for some time now, im delighted to say that after only 40 minutes with Neil i now feel completely free of that anxiety. Its hard to believe that a single visit can have such incredible results, but i now feel confident enough to go anywhere - thank you Neil!

ed hunt  19 Oct 2015

Amazingly no fear of flying thanks to Neil 5 Following up on my last review I am so happy to report that I'm no longer anxious about flying, thanks to Neil. Usually I'd be very nervous for days before flying and it got so bad that I hadn't flown for 3 years. That's all in the past now! We flew into Crete and I was calm for the take off (the worst part for me) and slept for some of the journal. As we came into land first one wheel hit the ground then we bumped along for a few seconds before taking off again. I was amazed that I didn't feel any fear at all. The second attempt at landing was successful!!! Thank you Neil for showing me how to tackle my irrational fear of flying. It worked a treat!!

Helena  11 Sep 2015

You've got to visit Neil if you're scared of anything!! 5 Wow Neil is fantastic. I've held a fear of heights for most of my life and after one fun session with Neil I feel that I can go to the top of the highest building without feeling nervous. We also tackled my fear of flying in the same session. When I next get on a plane I'll post a review of that experience. At the moment I'm feeling very calm, when usually I'd be a bundle of nerves!

Helena  18 Aug 2015

He is amazing 5 After suffering from anxiety and depression for one and a half years and been given numerous medications I had all but given up hope when I came to Neil. However, from the very first session I was able to make amazing changes in my life. The tools and techniques he taught me to use were so powerful! And in subsequent sessions things just got better and better. I feel that he has given me my life back and it really is like a miracel to me. He has such a positive and engaging manner, and really inspires hope in you. I really can not recommend him highly enough. Thank you so much Neil.
