Testimonials :

Dear David,

Hope this card finds you well and busy helping others give up smoking. I’ve still never had any cravings to want to smoke since your help 3 years ago. I’ve got my weight under control and just go from strength to strength.

Thank you so much my friend.
Rob M. Devon

I had been having frequent panic attacks, sometimes every day for the past 28 years. This meant I didn’t dare go far from the house and it got to the stage where I couldn’t bear to be with people. It also meant I drank heavily to make me feel happier, to try to cover up my worries and to deal with anything else that was going on. This of course led to serious money problems and also problems with my husband.

Within just a couple of sessions, the panic attacks disappeared: I felt one coming on a couple of days after our first session and I battled with it for about 20 minutes before I remembered how to deal with it and it disappeared almost instantly- That was the last one.

I had planned on going to AA,

but after my first session with David, I just stopped drinking completely as I just didn’t need it any more. I realised I wasn’t actually an alcoholic, I had just been using it as a crutch. I had an upset a few days later and only had a couple of pints and then went for a walk. The really good thing is I can now just enjoy a nice drink from time to time when I want it, instead of being a prisoner of it.

And now, instead of feeling afraid of people, I now happily jump on a bus and go into town and I really Love it. – Oh and I’ve now got more money I can spend in town when I go there!

I am always going to be grateful to David. He has totally changed my life, my husband and I are so much happier together, I can handle the day to day problems and I now have a life!
