Doug has had such a positive effect on me. Anxiety, depression and weight gain had been haunting me for years. Doug has taught me how to relax, stay calm, and to feel satisfied with smaller amounts of food. I am 5 star happy. Thank you Doug.

I originally went to see Doug for weight loss and was very sceptical about Hypnotherapy and if it actually works. Not only did Doug make me feel comfortable at each appointment but helped me also with pain management for a back injury, which made excer sizing very difficult. Doug takes the time to listen to his client and really helped me on my journey to losing weight.

Doug helped me to recenter my focus and gave me a heap of tools to better manage my stress and anxiety. Wonderful environment and fantastically helpful, couldn't recommend him more

I was referred to Doug by my local GP suffering from depression and anxiety.

Doug was a fantastic help when I was in desperate need. He used a calming but very effective technique and taught me some helpful coping skills.

Thank you for helping me get my life back on track. I highly recommend Doug’s services.

Hey Doug, just thought we let you know that B (daughter) passed her university exams in law and accountancy with high distinctions.

She is very happy, thank you for giving her the confidence to pursue her studies. Much appreciated.

Doug has changed my life around! When I first went to see him I was coming out of a difficult situation (family) and I felt as if I was losing control and was reacting to all of this by comfort eating which wasn’t making me feel any better.

Doug listened and showed me techniques I could use every day to make me feel better.

JK

Prior to seeing Doug I had several issues I faced in terms of focusing, depression and anxiety caused from a traumatic incident at work. After 3 sessions I had a major improvement in concentration, decrease in depression and anxiety within 1 month.

I strongly recommend Doug Timbrell’s hypnosis to anyone who wishes to make positive changes to their lives.

I have lived with depression and anxiety for the past 6 years and feel that Doug’s hypnosis therapy has been a key part in me changing my life.

I can’t change your past. However, I can help you be happier now and also look forward to a happier future”. I had just commenced my first appointment with Doug and I remember the above words he spoke.

After nearly thirty years of consulting with dozens of health care professionals, I have finally found an effective solution to my mental wellbeing issues.

Doug has guided me to recovery, my confidence, determination, and positive thinking have all increased. I started to make meaningful and positive changes to my life addressing homelessness, mental and physical health, exploring my creativity, all for the better.

I now think and behave differently. My overall health has improved, I have a lovely home, rewarding work and have lost 16 kilos.

Life is really happier and my future looks bright and positive

Lee R

I have struggled with anxiety, depression and Post Traumatic stress since leaving my employment 9 years ago. I have received extensive treatment by Psychologists and Psychiatrists. I started seeing Doug Timbrell about 4 months ago to have Hypnotherapy to see if that may assist me being able to have a better quality of life.

As a result I find that I’m generally calmer, more motivated and generally feel better about life in general.

Doug is a good listener and the Hypnotherapy sessions have also assisted my quest to lose weight and be a better person physically and mentally!

Allen M

I was scared, no job, very depressed and emotional. After my 2nd session I started to change, so calm and relaxed even my family noticed. After the fourth session my mood and behaviors had changed.

Doug’s therapy has made me a happier and more positive woman able to cope with life.

SD

I was a heavy smoker, spending more money on smokes than I could afford.

After seeing Doug for 3 vists I have not touched smokes now for over 4 months.

Feel so much better, able to do more with the kids now as well as having more money to spend on the things I want, thanks Doug.
