Testimonials

It is absolutely essential that your therapist is fully trained and experienced in their field.  Ask questions!  How many years have they practised?  Are they known to your G.P.?  Where did they train?

Hundreds of original testimonials from satisfied clients are available for inspection at Den’s Consultancy.

The Weekly Post reporter who visited Den to write a feature on slimming with hypnosis stated in her article on Friday, May 15th 1981:

“The Hypnotherapy had an amazing effect on my life . . . . . .  and it worked”. In a further article which appeared on March 2nd, 1984 the success of the reporter in stopping smoking was detailed.

A full page article about Mr. Clare appeared in the Isle of Wight Clarion on 13th September 1985 and he has written several articles for the Islander Magazine.

Den was featured in a full length article entitled “A visit to the Office of Den Clare in England” in the American Journal of Hypnotherapy in December 1993.
