David Bird Transformative Coaching & Hypnotherapy

After biting my nails badly for over 30 years, I didn't think that I'd ever be able to stop - but after working with David for a short amount of time, I did just that! While it may not seem like a huge deal to some people, I can't explain what a difference it has made to me personally. I'd wholeheartedly recommend working with David!

I contacted a number of different people and companies some time ago for help with my addiction with little if any response from them until I came across David. His willingness and desire to help me were to be honest outstanding. I had many conversations with David via text or phone where again you could feel his commitment to helping people. After meeting him I cant express the difference he has made to my life. I spoke with David about him being a magician and waving a magic wand to make everything better and after our first meeting he had given me the help and support to realise I was the magic wand that makes things better. David ,the least you have done is steer me to a better life. The most you did is potentially save my life. Thank you so much

I came to David, through a recommendation, not sure if anyone could really help me. I'd had a difficult, high risk pregnancy and a traumatic birth experience, hated my body and felt I'd really let myself and my family down. I was having regular panic attacks, anxiety symptoms, and post natal depression which had resulted in me feeling disconnected from my baby even though I desperately loved him. After our initial call, I knew immediately I needed to work with David because - even though he hadn't lived my experiences or anything really close to them - he understood that everything I said I was feeling was actually symptomatic of different issues that he knew he could help me with. This understanding, and the non-judgemental discussions we had, really turned my world on its head! I discovered so much about myself in the time we worked together. Within weeks, I accepted I am a good mum and the birth experience I had was not my fault, I couldn't have changed any of it and made all my decisions with the best of my ability at the time. David was there with me, every step of the way. Over time, the really bad days where it felt like I contacted him pretty constantly turned into bad moments that didn't keep affecting me past the moment. Delving into the real challenges I was facing meant getting uncomfortable and confronting my previously-held core beliefs and values. We looked at pretty much every aspect of who I thought I was and who I wanted to be. At times I felt incredibly vulnerable. I cried, I had to leave some sessions early as it was too much, I messaged him at 3am on several occasions. David made a safe space for me to go through this, be vulnerable, and never feel judged. Most importantly, David GUIDED me. He wasn't doing the work for me, he was asking the exact right questions, really listening to what I said and what was going on underneath the surface. Getting to the bottom of these challenges has meant I've been able to 'rewrite' my own story. My life has completely changed. For the first time in my life, I can honestly say I love myself, I love my body, and I'm a great mum. My relationships with everyone in my life have improved. I do what I love every day, whilst still being connected to my family and spending time with my son. I know my value, my strengths, my self. I would 100% recommend working with David for anyone experiencing trauma, anxiety or depression; and especially anyone feeling they've lost themselves and no longer know who they are. If you're ready to lean in to the challenge, David will guide you every step of the way.

David helped me with a number of issues over a period of 3 months. I wasnt sure before contacting him if hypnotherapy was right for me. Questions like 'Will it work? went round in my head. Well the answer is yes it will work! David has the ability to ask the right questions to unlock deep thoughts and beliefs that you may not even be aware you hold. I honestly dont know where I would be now if I hadnt taken the plunge. I would recommend David to anyone - if you are unsure, just make initial contact and have a chat. The first step is the hardest but as soon as you do, you will be on the path to happiness and self discovery.

When I first went to David I was having difficultly with stress, anxiety, depression feeling like a burden to others, feeling under pressure most of the time to prove my worth to myself and others around me, beating myself up a lot, feeling like a failure and chronic pain. I felt like my life didnt have much of a purpose, I wasnt doing anything I enjoyed or anything for me anymore, I was working extremely hard at work to get noticed for being good enough, I felt a lack of connection between me and everyone else around me, I would constantly feel anxious and worried about things I couldnt change. Since seeing David I feel like my entire mindset has changed, I no longer look back on my past as failures and painful times or anxiously worry about what my future holds I am much more present and have realised that worrying and feeling stressed isnt serving me. I have started to do a lot more things for me Including hobbies and things I have wanted to learn but have never made the time for. I have learnt to be self compassionate which is turn is helping me to feel less under pressure and stressed. I would definitely recommend David to anyone who is struggling, I honestly believe now that my life will be completely different since seeing him and I am feeling so much happier and positive
