S. James MBE 

Having known Nik for over 25 years I have always found him to be trustworthy, empathic and professional.

He has succesfully worked with many friends of mine and I would not hesitate to reccommend him to anyone looking for a therapist or coach.

D M 

I cannot thank Nik enough for what he has done for me. He has changed my life and that of my long-suffering husband. Only two weeks ago I was totally petrified of flying having refused to fly, cried all the way through a flight, never sat in a window seat and hyperventilated so much I had to be given oxygen by an onboard doctor. after only two sessions with Nik I, got on an aeroplane with no anxiety, took of an landed with a smile on my face, sat in a window seat and actually enjoyed the flight.

Re Motion sickness /Travel sickness:

I cannot rate Niks Hypnotherapy enough! After years of suffering with anxiety relating to travelling and motion sickness I can finally say 'it’s gone!' 

After only one session a few days before I was to travel, I had my session and felt no symptoms relating to this at all. All the techniques he taught me were great to use and remember. I even managed to enjoy a boat trip without feeling seasick, it was amazing I could actually have fun! I would definitely recommend Nik.
