So why are there no testimonials included on this site?
For two reasons:
1. The rules of the National Council of Hypnotherapy, the professional body to which I belong, preclude the publication of testimonials. (See below for extracts from the Code of Ethics and the Practicing Agreement.)
2. I believe the anonymity of my clients is paramount, so although I could have included something like the following:
“Dear Cris, Thank you for changing my life forever, the therapy I received from you was excellent and 1st class. All my anxieties are behind me now and I have moved on to better and greater things. CD of Bagshot.”
There is no way for you to tell if it is genuine or not; unless I show you the original correspondence, where then is the anonymity of the client?
