Duncan Leckie Clinical Hypnotherapy

I first met Duncan through mutual friends a few years ago and when he said that he was setting up as a hypnotherapist, I arranged some appointments with him since, at the time, I was going through a very stressful period with my job and wanted to get help in relaxation and also finding a more positive thought structure to help me deal with work.Duncan is a calming personality anyway, but when we started the sessions, I was amazed at how totally relaxing the experience was!As the session begins, the non-intrusive music and Duncan's calm, quiet, evenly-paced speech lead you out of the here and now - you can still here everything, but certainly in my experience, once you were under, sense of time ceased to exist. I used to suffer continual hard tension in my neck, shoulder and back muscles and the sessions with him really helped with that!I also realised through talking to him that many of my thought processes and reactions to situations were anxiety-based - everything from lack of sleep, lack of energy and enthusiasm, being unconfident and non-assertive - all these things I am still in the process of reassessing and changing for the better but thanks to Duncan, I at least now have a sense of perspective and the tools to be able to start dealing with them.After a couple of initial sessions, I was given a recording the the aural relaxation countdown to your 'quiet space' where one can begin to cognitively put things in their proper order and this is particularly useful - I found it so then and I still do now.Duncan, a big thank you!

Duncan has been truly amazing and I cannot recommend him enough!After a few sessions with him, I regained my personal joy of being who I am and I'm viewing myself in a different light. Duncan's hypnosis sessions gave me more confidence to realise that I am a worthwhile person.Now, I am ready to set goals for my business and personal life and work towards achieving them.Thank you for your help!

I was falling asleep just fine but waking at 3 or 4 in the morning and then having trouble getting back to sleep . I had a chat with Duncan and he explained that even though I didn’t realise I was feeling stressed, my mind did and so was waking me . He sent me his relaxation tape and it helped me so much . I rarely made it to the end before I was fast asleep again . The recording helped retrain my brain to sleep through the night again . If ever I can’t fall asleep , wake in the early hours or just want to relax I stick on the recording. The fact that is voice is like honey is an added bonus !

I was really stressed before my wedding, not sleeping and just generally being really wound up during the day. I was able to access one of Duncans hypnotherapy for sleep tapes and it helped greatly over the fortnight before the wedding, I've also passed it onto other friends and family. Would recommend.

In recent years I have started to experience anxiety on ever increasingly, and for longer lengths of time as well. I may be able to combat lesser anxiety with walking or baths, however when it hits heavier I seriously struggle. Duncan gave me a recording to try. It is fantastic. It took me perhaps 2-3 listens the first time to get the 'full effect' on the first occasion, however since then, my head seems to rest much quicker. I'd highly recommend this to everyone. I use it especially at the end of a day if having trouble getting to sleep.Thank you Duncan.

This year I had to leave my home and my job of fourteen years with a lot of uncertainty so I was managing about three hours sleep a night. When I started listening to Duncan’s tape in bed I rarely got past the first ten minutes then slept the night away. It was a huge help in getting me settled and relaxed. Anytime I’m feeling stressed and unable to sleep I stuck it on.

Leading up to our wedding with so much to plan and do, I suffered sleep deprivation. I referred to Duncan and he kindly sent me his recording which helped enormously. My husband has since successfully used it also while dealing with lots of work changes which caused some insomnia. Duncan's recording is a go to and effective aid and I can't recommend it enough.

Duncan has helped me through the mental process of my feelings following a family death. It helped greatly. His sleep relaxation tape worked so well I was unable to hear the end of it before falling sound asleep.Thank you Duncan, you are a lovely easy person to talk to as well.

Friendly, professional and very caring, Duncan did me a relaxation for anxiety and sleep. I played it before I went to bed and it took me a long time to ever hear the end of it because I kept falling asleep! (Which I think is a pretty good indication of the success of the recording!) Coming from a nursing background, he's very comprehensive in his appoach. He's easy to talk to, is obviously well informed, and I felt comfortable opening up.
