After many years working in a human service frontline role and other personal challenges I started to experience anxiety early this year. It became so bad I was having what I can only describe as rolling panic attacks. I became so scared of these experiences and on alert constantly for signs that an episode was about to start. I had tried all forms of support from Yoga, Meditation, Tai Chi, Acupuncture, Reiki. I was walking everyday, adjusting my diet, cutting out caffeine and ended up leaving my job and still the anxiety and high alert energy persisted.
I found Tim online and found the reviews for him to really resonate with me and the experience I was having. The relief people expressed was what I was desperately needing and I got in contact straight away. Tim was so caring, responsive and accomodating I instantly felt encouraged. From the first session I had with Tim I learnt so much about the process of hypnotherapy and the mechanics of what is occurring in the brain when we go into a hypnotic state. When he explained the function of GABA in blocking the messages causing the nervous system to release cortisol and adrenaline a light bulb went off in my brain. He explained hypnosis is a powerful way to increase the GABA in our systems so that it can effectively block these messages and result in a more regulated nervous system that is not constantly in a state of alert. We also did the work in understanding what internal messages were stored in my subconscious and developed the alternate narratives and images to counter these messages.
After my first session with Tim I left feeling the calmest I had felt in 3 months and empowered by the knowledge and tools I had leant. In total I had 5 sessions and can honestly say it has been life changing for me. I have learnt to manage what anxiety remains and rebuilt my confidence with a better understanding of myself. I couldn’t recommend Tim more highly. He was a kind and generous practitioner who radiates positivity and enthusiasm for his craft. Thank you so much Tim 🙏

I was feeling desperate to resolve some anxiety-related issues that started after a traumatic experience. I didn’t know what to think about hypnotherapy, but as I was feeling hopeless, I started looking into it. That’s when I came across the incredible reviews for Tim at Calming Minds Hypnotherapy—and I decided to book my first session.
After just three sessions, my perspective has completely changed. Not only did Tim help me gain clarity and provide invaluable tools to navigate everyday challenges, but the therapy itself was truly transformative. The way he guides you into slowing down your brain waves allows positive thinking and visions to integrate deeply into your subconscious. That’s when real change happens.
The conscious and subconscious mind work so differently—before seeing Tim, I knew what I needed to do to move forward, but I just couldn’t make it happen. My subconscious was stuck, holding me back from truly overcoming challenges. Tim helped me unlock that potential, break through the mental blocks, and finally step into a better, more positive version of myself.
I honestly have no words to fully express my gratitude for the positivity and empowerment I have gained through this experience. It has been so powerful that I have decided to continue seeing Tim regularly, as each session is an eye-opening journey into my mind and the world around me.
Tim, thank you again for everything you have done for me. I truly believe everyone should experience hypnotherapy with you—whether they have a specific issue to work through or simply want to enhance their life. You have made such a difference in mine.

Where do I even begin? My hypnotherapy journey with Tim at Calming Minds has been one of the most impactful experiences I’ve ever had. I came in with a lot of resistance and uncertainty, but Tim explained the process so well and created a space that felt genuinely safe and calm.
The level of care, empathy, and skill he brings to every session is truly unmatched. He guided me with compassion, stayed fully committed to my wellbeing, and made it clear from the start that he wasn’t going to give up on me.
Since starting, I’ve noticed a real shift - reduced stress, fewer limiting beliefs, and much quieter mind chatter. It’s been an incredible experience learning how to work with the subconscious mind and using that to build more self-love and acceptance.
Tim is helping so many people change their lives in meaningful ways, and I’m incredibly grateful to be one of them. If you’re considering hypnotherapy, Tim is exceptional. I honestly can’t recommend him highly enough!
