| I've decided to upload some of the testimonial e-mails I've received over the last two or three years. There seem to be over 60, so thanks to all those who have taken the trouble to write. | |
| To be honest, I can't recall which individuals actually gave me permission to use their real names, so many e-mails remain anonymous. | |
| In order to highlight authenticity I have left most of the content unedited, so you may have to wade through bits of irrelevant material about arrangements for appointment times etc. | |

From: RB : 10 jan 2006 Subject: Smoking Hello. I came to see you about 6 weeks ago to give up smoking and I havent smoked since! Thank you very much, it was so easy I have referred to you my flatmates who I believe are both coming to see you tomorrow morning. I am also referring a lady called Lola to you who needs to lose weight. We talked about depression when I came to you last and I am considering booking an appointment with you to help me deal with this, it is mainly linked to self asteem I believe. How much would this cost? Thank you. R B

From: Kerry Hawkes : 15. December 2003 Subject: Smoking Thanks very much - I can't believe I have managed this long and not bitten someone's head off yet! Its been so much easier than my willpower alone... I just hope its like this for good. Now all I have to do is convince my friends this is a better way to be and it doesn't need to be so difficult!!

From: Ranjit Majumdar 3. July 2003 Subject: Depression It's early days but I have found working through hypnotherapy with Robert Matthews an immensely fulfilling experience. My depression has been quite intense over the years, worsened by poor decision making and getting into negative patterns. Hypnotherapy has helped me to address the issues in my life and to alleviate the depression and set me up for the future.

I have had 2 manicures so far and they look fabulous. My husband cannot believe it! Thank you very much - I could not have done it without you. I sang in a concert the other night, and I felt truly glamourous from head to toe (or should I say to finger nail!). The power of the mind is a wonderful thing. Yours sincerely Alison Rayner

From: SD Date: 18.10.04 Subject: Smoking I was given your details by a friend of mine's boyfriend whom you helped to give up smoking - and 6 months on he is still not even craving a cigarette. I too need help, but not in giving up smoking - mine is giving up drinking. I have tried A.A. but am still finding it hard to stop drinking and feel the only way now is hynotherapy. Please could you let me know how to go about arranging an appointment and whether I need a consultation first or whether the hypnosis is carried out on the first visit. Also could you let me know what days/times you are "open". Many thanks for your assistance. S D

From: PA (29.9.04) Subject: Smoking Hi Robert, I gave up smoking successfully thanks to a session with you some 18 months ago for which I am eternally grateful. I'm emailing to ask you whether you can help with something entirely different. I would love to quickly absorb and learn new langauges which I have always been interested in and want to know if hypnotherapy can help me in any way. In other words can it somehow help me to absorb and remember more efficiently than through the regular route of sheer parrot-fashion learning? I'd be happy to undergo a session if it would help me to get to grips with another language especially with regards to pronunciation and structure (I'm presently fascinated with Czech and Spanish). Best regards P A Ealing

From: Tamara Flumignan 15. June 2003 Subject: Depression Dear Robert, THANK YOU! That is all I can say to you! My life has changed dramatically since last time I saw you in December 2002 all for the best. Also I'm not only feeling free from depression but I am getting stronger day by day. I've got a new job, I'm graduating from college in a couple of weeks and I have taken up readings on becoming a psychic. Also my boyfriend has quit smoking with one session and three boxes of patches! Again thank you for your help and I will recommend you to anyone I see could do with a helping hand. Lots of love.

From: S: 1st November 2002 Subject: Weight Loss Dear Robert am calling cancel my upcoming appointment with you - I seemed to have clicked back into diet mode pretty well and am feeling comfortable with it. If I get another bad patch I shall give you a buzz - one thing I know - every time I take a knock I do come back stronger... Thanks for everything. Yours S......

From: T.E. Subject: Cocaine addiction 14th July 2004 Dear Robert, I want to thank you very, very much. I received your CD about three weeks ago it was to help me to resist keep taking cocaine. As soon as I had listened to it for the first time I felt positive, (although I almosy cried a lot during the first listening). I almost couldn't wait to test my reaction to coke if it should come my way. Well, during the last few weeks I have had many opportunities to indulge along with my peers in coke but I am thankful to say I have had absolutely no urge to do any myself at all. I have had people 'lining up' and snorting right in front of me and it feels so good to turn it down - something I just couldn't do before I listened to your CD. I feel so confident that hypnotherapy works that I have enclosed a cheque for another personalised CD for comfort eating which I will explain about in a minute(.........) Once again Robert I can't thank you enough for the hypnotherapy CD 'Giving Up Cocaine' . I can't quite believe how it has changed me and I am such a fan of hypnotherapy now!!! By all means use my letter but I would like to remain anonymous Thanks, T.E.

From: SD : 3.9.04 Subject: Smoking Hi Robert, Just a quick note to say a big “thankyou”. I came to you for a quit smoking session way way back in November 2002. I'm glad to say that the rollup I had before the session is still the last one I had! I'm going to be sending a few friends your way for some similar treatment. Thanks again, S.D.

From: SM : 19.8.04 Subject: Depression Hi Robert, Just dropping you a line to thank you so much for the work you did with me in the last few weeks. I'm hoping that you can help me with a session on giving up smoking as soon as possible really. Please can you contact me either by phone or e-mail to let me know when is convenient for you as I'm totally blown away by the results that you have achieved so far. Early morning (i.e. 9:30ish) is good for me. Regards, S M

From: MJ Subject: Fear Of Flying Hi Robert, I just wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know that I have finally managed a flight – alone! Due to work commitments I did not get to go to our office in Singapore but decided instead to book a holiday and have just returned from Tunisia . I wanted to thank you for the sessions that you spent with me – I know that without your help I would not have been able to overcome my fear. As you explained, I didn't really enjoy the experience and was still a little nervous but I did not experience the panic and dread that I used to feel. I am hoping to book another flight soon! Thank you again for all your help. Kind regards M J

From: S.C 21st Jan 2004 Subject: Crohn's Disease RE.Z.C. Hello Robert, hope you are well, thought id drop you a line for a progress report. Z...... is looking better lately, he seems to have rosy cheeks and sparkly eyes, he is trying to do whole days at school and he is eating a bit more. He listens to your CD most nights, often falling asleep, but i tell him thats ok as its still going into his mind. Robert Ive always believed that the mind is the ruler of the body and i encourage him to think positive. We will get him well again soon. The CD youve made him is fantastic and i am so glad i found you. I will be in touch, thanking you for everything youve done for him, love SC Update 9th Nov 2004 Dear Robert, Thankyou for enquiring about my son Z, he is the picture of health now. I have been intending to contact you (I know it sounds like an excuse) but this year has been so hectic for us. He wears an ilostomy bag for now while his bowels mend and he is growing and flourishing every day. Most important he is actually trying new foods! he still takes his CD you made him, to bed, to listen to, to encourage his body to heal itself. In August we took him to Florida to swim with dolphins, fantastic experience. I would recommend hypnotherapy to anyone who is not quite sure. Regards S C

It is now May 2003 and I have haven't been near a cigerette! I am totally thrilled and feel wonderful! It is an very liberating experience and I would recommend to anyone, going to Robert, if you really want to quit the dreaded weed!! Good Luck!

From:M M 5.7.02 Subject: Needle Phobia Hello Robert, I came to see you at the end of March for needle phobia. Although I have not yet had an injection or blood test - I can now watch them on tv & talk about them etc... without fear - so many thanks for that ! I would like to make an appointment on a Saturday (whenever you have one next) - I suppose it would kind of come under the heading of confidence... I cannot break the cycle of thinking that any kind of confrontation will result in violence & rejection (as it did in childhood). As I manage people I need to be able to deal with this. Please let me know whenever you next have a Saturday appointment. Many thx M M.

From: R : 1st November 2002 Subject: Smoking Dear Robert, My friend H H came to see you some eight months ago to quit smoking. She is still a non smoker to this day and thought it would be good for me to give you a visit as well. I have tried on numerous occasions to stop, but regrettably, failed each time. I have used patches, chewing gum, Zyban, a session at the Alan Carr 'Stop Smoking' Clinic and one hypnosis session with someone in East London who's article in the Telegraph was the persuasion to make me try. I smoke about thirty cigarettes a day and have a true love affair with each one of them I keep telling myself on a daily basis that I am going to stop this retched habit, but find it incredible hard to imagine how to cope with life without. I am therefore hoping that you, as my truly last resort, will be able to help me. My only fear is that should it not work the first time, I am afraid I might not give it another try... I truly look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards, Roy.

She, like me, has tried other therapies including patches, but never yet tried hypnosis. I hope you are still practicing, I have left voicemail for you in the past but you have never replied. Please can you contact me either via email, or by phone on 0795........, or contact my friend directly. Her name is L..., her number is 07.......... Best wishes Speak to you soon C

From: AW : 9th Jan 2003 Subject: Confidence Hi Robert, I am a previous client and would like to book an session with you. My name is A.W. and I don't know if you remember but it was around Nov 2001 and I had two sessions to do with Confidence and Self Esteem. I would like to thank you for your help and those sessions have helped tremendously. However, you did mention at the time that an additional session may help some more although not essential. I would like to book an additional session as I would like to further improve my confidence and self esteem as there are still some situations in which I think I need to overcome. I am pretty flexible with times and dates so if you could let me know when is convenient for you and we can arrange something. You can contact me either by email at this address or at (..........)or on my mobile 078.......... I look forward to hearing from you soon. Many thanks A.

From: JF : 17th Jan 2003 Subject: Smoking Dear Mr Matthews, Both myself and a close friend have been advised by one of your previous successes to contact you regarding stopping smoking. Ideally we would like to make Saturday appointments, possibly one after the other which will mean we can travel to you together. I would be most grateful if you would let me know how soon this will be possible along with details of the cost and how to get to you. We both really hope that FINALLY we have found someone to help us kick this horrible addiction! Look forwards to hearing from you in the near future. Regards, JF

From: P : 28th January 2003 Subject: Smoking Hello Robert, I thought I would drop you a quick email to let you know that my life as a 'non-smoker' is going hunky-dorily (if that's a word). It's my birthday today, as you know, and I went out for a few drinks in the pub with smoking friends at lunchtime to celebrate - no problem. I'm off out tonight, and know it won't be a problem - like I think you said last Thursday, it's now irrelevant. I'm not disgusted by cigarettes, or the fact that my friends smoke around me, but I just know it's not for me. Anyway, one or two people have expressed an interest in seeing you - one of my best friends will come and see you in one month if I'm still off ciggies, which I am pretty sure I will be! I really want all my friends to come and see you, just so you can see how grateful I am for your help - you've got such a talent! Thanks again, P

From: NW : 3rd February 2004 Subject: Motivation/Laziness Hello Robert Thanks for a really enjoyable first session - I do feel much better in general, but have been very busy and have not really had much of a chance to test out the treatment... I would still like to see you for a consolidation session and maybe to look at one or two other issues - however, I'm afraid I will have to cancel the appointment I made with you last week. I have some un-moveable work commitments - I'm really sorry to mess you around! I am out of the country on holiday from 7 to 14 February - after that, what is your availability like? Although I could do another 5.30pm session, is there any chance I could see you on a Saturday instead? Hope all is well with you, Best wishes, MW
Update : 25.2.04 Hello Robert hope you remember me from a few weeks ago, when I came to you for help with my lack of motivation. I am pleased to say I am starting to feel much more positive! I wonder if I could book an appointment to see you for one of your quit smoking sessions. Could you give me an idea of your Saturday availability over the next few weeks? Thanks and best wishes, MW

From: M Subject: General Recommendation 23.04.04 Dear Robert You have been recommended to me personally by a family member. I would like to make an appointment to see you regarding my (what has been diagnosed by my doctor as) mild depression. I was taking anti-depressants in the summer last year but came off them after a couple of months as I experienced a few strange side-effects. I have also seen two counsellors on and off over the course of the past 4 years, but feel in some ways that this has increased rather than decreased my problems. I look forward to hearing from you.
