“Ian has worked wonders with my 16 year old son… he has made him feel relaxed and not ashamed of why he needs help.. would recommend him to anyone..”
We can’t thank Ian enough for giving us our son back! Ian has built up an amazing rapport with him to help him work through issues that were causing him to behave angrily and aggressively both at home and school. Our son is now more in control of his emotions, better able to communicate his thoughts and feelings, and his behaviour is much improved all round”.
“The NLP techniques Ian uses offered my son a different way of looking at his anxiety. Ian offered practical methods to have a new outlook, as well as explaining how our minds work in an age-appropriate way. He was very patient with my seven-year-old son, who struggled sometimes to maintain his attention on a Zoom call”.
“I have been very satisfied with the sessions my son has had with you it’s made him to at least see the positive perspective of things. He doesn’t usually talk about his emotions ever, but he did tell you how he exactly feels. So of course, you said the right words. Thank you so much for your time and effort, I really appreciate it”.
“Thank you xxx has really enjoyed working with you too. When you finished your session last week. Xxxx said” he’s a nice man” which was great to hear that although as challenging as therapy is he knew that you were for him and felt held which is great. I’ll be in touch if circumstances change”.
“It’s not easy to admit as a parent that you may need outside help for your children. My son was dealing with anger management issues that were affecting his schooling and behaviour at home. I contacted Ian because I sensed that my son needed to hear another voice to help him get back on track. Ian’s approach is empathetic and straightforward. He gains trust by making it clear from the start that what is discussed between himself and the child may at times remain confidential. Most of all he is approachable and non-judgemental and he is there for the parents as well. On a number of occasions I picked up the phone and said, “how do I deal with this?” and he was able to help. He has helped my son calm down, improved the atmosphere at home and stopped a situation that felt at times like it was spiralling out of control. I would recommend him unreservedly.”
My son has benefitted from NLP sessions with Ian Davies. Ian has been very supportive and kind in helping xxxx with some issues he has. xxxx feels Ian has been very helpful in giving him strategies to deal with difficulties with friendships he may face when returning to school. Ian has been very easy to work with and extremely professional. Thank you Ian!
I just wanted to say how brilliant these sessions have been, they have been a real lifeline in these weird times. We have all learnt tools as a family to help us and xxxx has been trying really hard to put what she has learned into practice. By focusing on solutions instead of problems we have seen a really positive change in her and can only see things improving as time goes on. I would highly recommend these sessions for practical and helpful ways to deal with anxiety and you are super friendly and funny which made xxxx and me feel really comfortable. Thank you so much.

“I just wanted to say thank you so much for yesterday, it really helped Xxxx and hes already asking for another session!! I am speaking to his dad to see if somehow, we can manage some more session’s, because just from yesterday I can see it has helped Xxxx. I will be in touch shortly”.
Ian has been fantastic working with my 10year old on his emotional regulation, confidence and communication. He’s been a real god send at a crucial time in my boys emotional development. The difference that Ian has made is un-quantifiable. If I were to rate him out of 10 he would get 11. I really cannot thank you enough.

“Ian is a thoroughly committed practitioner who has the dedication required to explore his client’s mind with gentle curiosity and the creativity and humour needed to help them begin thinking in new and more helpful ways.”
“Working with Ian has helped my son to develop some very handy coping strategies with the ups and downs of everyday life which, given the amount of time we’re spending together in lockdown, is something we’re all grateful for! The process has had the side effect of helping me to reflect on where I can improve my parenting too”.
“The sessions that my son had with Ian really opened a new way of looking at the world that will help him not just now but as he matures into adolescence and adulthood. Having awareness of his mental health and the fact that he has the option to talk to professionals about it if he ever struggles in the future is incredibly beneficial. Aside from the weekly sessions, Ian was very generous in sharing resources that we could tap into independently and I would highly recommend his services to any other families”.
“Just wanted to say thank you so much for all the time, support, and guidance you have given me over the past few months. You’ve been an anchor over a challenging period of time, and I’ll always remember that”.
“Our daughter was suffering with recurrent bouts of anxiety which was causing social isolation and at worst manifesting physical symptoms of vomiting and insomnia which we were struggling to support and help her resolve.Within the safety of her own environment Ian has offered one to one sessions via zoom. His easy and kind manner and focussed listening allowed her to feel quickly at ease enabling her to open up and confide in him.
The sessions were light hearted, filled with laughter and fun, facilitating a swift identification of the root causes of her anxieties and why it was resulting in physical symptoms. Once identified he worked with her to provide coping and managing strategies and soon her confidence and sparkle returned.
After every session Ian would feedback to us what had been covered and what progress had been made. He also pointed out things we should look out for or if there was anything in the sessions which could possibly trigger her. As parents we found this feedback to be invaluable in helping us to help our daughter through the process.
She now feels confident about the future and whilst some of these triggers may be ever present she has the tools and the ability to prevent them from overwhelming her.
We would not hesitate in recommending Ian and will remain forever grateful to him for giving us our daughter back.”
“Thank you so much for helping me with my anxiety and worries, I will also try to get less angry with Jasper!”.
“Ian is warm and approachable and helped my daughter feel at ease. He was able to give her some practical tools to use on her own when she is feeling down, which she has embraced. He has helped her to build emotional resilience which I hope will help her in years to come.”
“It’s so funny xxxx said to me about an hour ago how you helped her to not be afraid of clowns anymore. Those sessions were so brilliant for her, I am so glad that you were able to help her so much. it’s so lovely to see the long-term effects and that she is still using her techniques. Thank you so much.”
“Loving my work…had online session with 9-year-old girl, lost video connection but still had audio. She turned to mum and said, ‘ I hope Ian is coming back mum, he is a really good bloke!’. Gotta love ’em”.
“Thank you so much for your time and help with our son. We have seen a massive improvement in his behaviour following your advice. We would like to thank you again for your assistance with xxxx and we will not hesitate to contact you in the future should we need to. Many thanks”.
“I can’t thank you enough for your support since the start of the year. When xxxx and I arrived, xxxx was struggling, immensely with the loss of his dad. Xxxx is a fantastic kid and has taken time to process his dads death finally come to head. Your support throughout this has been nothing but professional, nurturing and sympathetic. xxxx has been able to access the support independently and has full confidence. The only information discussed with you has stayed that way unless consent has been given for sharing.
You have also given peace of mind to a mum who has the pain of the loss that we share in losing Xxxx and the heart break of seeing my son struggling and not being able to easy that for him.
xxxx find himself in the place of being able to move forward without support at the moment, but we know that is simple call or email to yourself. Will sing the actors upon, and xxxx emotional needs will be met quickly and swiftly.
Thank you, Ian”
