Talking Steps Therapy - Hypnotherapy, Counselling, Psychotherapy, Walk & Talk Therapy - Bolton

Tom Higgs

I sought help from Talking Steps in looking at willpower to eat less and move more. David was very good at teasing out the things that were apparently getting in the way of me achieving that and after 10 sessions I felt much better equipped to understand what was going on, how to avoid the blockers / excuses and seize the opportunities. There were unexpected benefits for me that went beyond the food / weight thing for me and I feel greater satisfaction in life now after the sessions, because I am also better at getting things done, sticking to a plan and seeing things through. I went initially asking for hypnotherapy and we did this a couple of times, but actually David took the conversations much deeper than I expected and got to the core of several things that were going on, providing me with a set of tools to try, practice and retain for the future. By going with an open mind I think I gained a lot more than the quick fix I was looking for.

Very professional service: clear boundaries, stuck to timing, I felt safe, he totally accepted what I said in sessions, yet probed and challenged appropriately to dig a deeper. I highly recommend Talking Steps.

David was a great in helping me improve my outlook and providing a tool kit for managing stressful situations. I was very fortunate to select David to accompany me on the journey.

Highly recommended. David was approachable, easy to talk to and understanding, and provided some very useful and helpful advice which resulted in almost immediate benefit for me. I'm very glad I visited him and would recommend others seeking therapy to give him a try.

I decided to try a few sessions with Talking Steps Therapy as I was struggling with sleep. I found that even though I was shattered at the end of the day, I was finding it hard to switch off and get to sleep and it was becoming something i was putting pressure on myself to achieve! What can I say…David is the the most calming, rational and thought provoking person to talk to. The sessions were really relaxed and gave me chance to talk about all areas of my life and thoughts, with no judgement. I learnt a lot about sleep and got some really good tips and ideas from the sessions which I am still doing now and have found them really helpful, not just for me but all my family. By talking it helped me make small steps to big changes which in turn have helped me drift off to sleep easier. The hypnosis part of the sessions was so relaxing, I was slightly nervous at first, but David made me feel at ease and I soon started to enjoy this ‘me time’ just as much as our chats. I would highly recommend David and the services he offers, he is professional, knowledgeable and has an air of calmness that quickly transcends to you.

I first visited David when I was experiencing depression and anxiety. He has helped me tremendously and I would have no hesitation whatsoever to recommend him to anyone who is in need of help. He was able to provide me with the help I needed to move on to a better place in my life. Thank you so very much David!!!

David creates a very warm, and welcoming safe space, which makes you feel comfortable, and at ease, almost instantly. He is non judgemental, and professional. Would highly recommend.

Had such a wonderful experience taking part in a group session with Talking Steps at a recent wellness retreat. We were all made to feel so at ease before, during and after the session. It was my first time experiencing any form of hypnotherapy I really took a lot from it.
