I want freedom from ...

PTSD

Most of my work is spent working for a charity called Rock2Recovery. We work with military veterans, many of whom are recovering from PTSD.

Everyday I see the effects that traumatic events can have on people and everyday I see people find liberation from the fear, hyper-vigilance, sleep issues, and intruding memories and thoughts. Change is possible.

Overcoming PTSD is about getting on a learning curve. Discovering how your mind works, becoming more empowered, and discovering how traumas can be put in the past.

SOCIAL ANXIETY

Unfortunately, social anxiety affects a lot of us. You may get fearful, panic, not know what to say, play conversations over and over in your head, and avoid social situations, or maybe all of the above.

Whether this happens to you in a meeting at work, dating, out with friends or in another social situation, life gets much easier when you've overcome social anxiety.

Most people don't believe me when I say this, but I have overcome chronic social anxiety myself, I have a sense of what you are going through, and have coached many people to overcome it, too.

Fears & Phobias

You probably think it's not rational or logical, but you panic and feel out of control in a situation where everyone around you seems fine. You know it shouldn't be necessary to feel the way you do, but you can't help it. For some people it might be around flying in a plane or public speaking, for another person it happens with spiders or bees.

These fears can be overcome and put into the past. You no longer need to live with the worrisome thoughts, embarrassment, or inconvenience of having an unnecessary fear or phobia.

Clients say

Alastair helped me to see myself more clearly and put my feet on the ground. He helped to find out what I really want and how to focus working towards my goals. He showed me the importance of practice, made me see my assets and the need to hone my skills and get confident in using them. He approached both deep and practical issues in a direct and motivating style. Should you wish to find more clarity in your personal or professional life, I can warmly recommend Alastair’s skills and warm support.

Thank you for offering a phenomenal service! After one session with Alastair I was able to live a significantly less stressed life.During my session with Alastair I was able to resolve matters of stress and anxiety (his approach and positive energy during the session made my experience a valuable one). The mind exercises given by Alastair were very efficient and allow one to change perspective and perceive life differently.I would definitely recommend his service to anyone who are in need of a highly skilled cognitive hypnotherapist.

Alastair has played a huge role in helping me develop my self-confidence. We discussed various practical strategies that I could use, and after only a few sessions I was able to see a huge difference in myself. Since then I haven't looked back and things have been going really well. It's clear that Alastair cares massively about the people he works with and we still keep in contact to this day. Thanks again Alastair for always being there for me.

Alastair is kind, thoughtful and knowledgeable. He helped me with my insomnia by teaching me some useful techniques but also helped me to question my entire outlook/perspective. We had some really interesting conversations and going to him was also good fun. Highly recommended. 🙂

Used Alistair to help my 10 year old with anxiety and extreme shyness. At the risk of sounding overly congratulatory after one session I now have a supremely confident little boy who has continued to use the simple tools and techniques Alistair gave him.Thoroughly recommend Alistair to anyone.

What Alastair did for me a few years ago has been of tremendous help ever since. His method was down to earth and accessible, yet it helped solve problems I thought I'd have to live with for life.More importantly it made me interested in psychology, learn to help myself, and continue on a life-long journey with strength and confidence.

Ali is a great coach in a sense that he makes me feel really comfortable sharing my experience. He makes it a more enjoyable journey going down the memory lane, digging into my darkest/forgotten places to find out the root causes of some of my current problems.Through his subtle but effective techniques, he helped me understand that I can't analyze things to well-being; I can't be happy through worrying about things; I can't be present if I keep thinking about what is the appropriate way to be present. He helped me have the outsider perspective of my own life and see it in a different light.And above all, he helped me get back the ability to breathe normally.He is a great coach without any doubt and I highly recommend him without any reservation.Thank you a lot Alastair!

I had three sessions with Alastair earlier this year, mainly to try to tackle my flying phobia, which has unfortunately become more prevalent in recent years. I was probably slightly sceptical about how he could help and what he would do, but over the three sessions, Alastair taught me some invaluable techniques for dealing with anxiety in general - which can actually be applied across a wide range of situations in life! Without going into too much detail, probably the most incredible thing was the way he takes you back into your past to help you get in touch with the 'you' of many years ago! A really amazing experience and one which helped me considerably. Overall, I would have no hesitation in recommending Alastair whole-heartedly, whether you are looking for some life coaching or need help overcoming a fear or phobia. Thanks, Alastair.

Met Alastair through one of his courses, went back for a a 1-1 session to improve organisation skills and reduce my crastination patterns taken from school and academic work in my youth, which still was causing problems in later life.Amazing results, I've seen a massive difference in my life and work patterns, a new positive outlook which has been life changing.Highly recommend his methods and outstanding knowledge. A real genuine person and professional.

Alastair has helped me with upper back pain which started about 15 years ago. At that time I went to see an osteopath who I felt made it worse. Alastair used a fairly simple but effective technique and as a result, my negative feelings have gone towards the osteopath and so has the upper back pain which is amazing!

If you want to take a step back from your current reality and discover new ways of being and doing, then go and see Al... Thoughtful, creative, intuitive and with such lovely energy. I can't rate Al highly enough and I'd encourage anyone ready for change to work with him. He's very gifted at what he does, widely read and very experienced, yet modest and down to earth.

I went to see Alastair as I was struggling with a lot of things in my life including addiction, severe anxiety and depression. He has helped me far more than I ever expected. His methods are creative, productive and often fun! I have gone from being incredibly isolated and fearful, to becoming confident and in control of my thoughts, working towards a much brighter future.

Alastair trained me recently in hypnosis skills, and I was blown away by his innovative, creative style. He's really at the cutting edge and in choosing to work with him, you will get a very skilled practitioner.

After just three online sessions with Al, a chronic physical health condition that had dogged me for 16 years, having a major impact on my quality of life and career, suddenly became no more than a minor inconvenience. Not only that, but the nightmares that I had endured several times a week for most of my life suddenly stopped occurring, seemingly without any effort on our part. The unexpected benefits continue to play out, having an ongoing impact on my outlook and experience of living.I highly recommend Al, particularly if, like me, you have consulted every kind of psychotherapist and doctor, yet have stubborn issues that continue to get in your way. Al’s work takes the form of gentle and thoughtful enquiry, where he invites your mind and body to reveal its inner wisdom. He is not afraid to pause the session while he takes stock and considers the best way to proceed. To me, this reveals a considerable maturity and humility at work.Can’t thank you enough, Al.
