Testimonials

Our success as a therapy practice is entirely built on referrals. Some of the testimonials we have received over the years are supplied below:

Easystop almost makes it seem too easy! Felt confident in Andrew from beginning of first call. Everything explained very well to me. A relaxing and life changing experience. It's been a year since I stopped smoking now and I'm loving it. Thank you for helping me to achieve this end, good luck to you with all your future business. - Andrea Norton, Worthing

I am so delighted with the EasyStop programme. I have tried every other method to give up but had failed miserably. Then I did the EasyStop programme and haven't looked back. It is now over a year and I know I will never go back. - E M Eley

A number of my patients had the good fortune to be treated by Andrew Spence at thespencepractice, some who needed help with smoking cessation and some with anxiety and stress symptoms. They have all been most appreciative of his sympathetic approach and his effective treatment. I have no hesitation in recommending his services to my fellow GPs - Dr. D B Stewart, Hove, East Sussex

I have dropped 2 dress sizes and current size becoming ‘roomy’ also I hardly ever fancy chocolate (my previous downfall). I have told my Doctor about my course with you Andrew, and he is impressed as my once slightly high blood pressure is now normal! - Corinne, West Sussex

At first I was really apprehensive and thought that the programme would not work for me. I was wrong! It has been a real journey and a revelation, not only have I continued to lose weight but I feel so much better about myself. Keep up the good work Andrew – we need you! - T M, West Sussex

No longer having panic attacks, more calm, relaxed, positive and confident. I feel so much better in myself and can observe anxiety levels thanks to the scale. I can say yes now I don’t feel afraid to try something new. Onwards and upwards. I just wanted to say a big thank you for everything. My life has changed. People see a NEW me and I feel great. I hope to stay in touch as I couldn’t have got this far without your practical help and guidance. - Aaronita, East Sussex

Have now flown twice since therapy. I still do not enjoy flying but can now cope with it. In fact the main challenge now is take off. Descending is now quite fun as I can look out of the window and see views I never thought I would. The main reason for my therapy was to get my children to fly; they both enjoyed it and want to do it again. This has opened up a whole new world for me. - Gary, West Sussex

Just wanted to say a huge thank you for helping me with my hair pulling OCD. You were a great help and recommend you to everyone. After seeing you, I never put myself down and I am starting to lose weight – sorry - get fitter and healthier. I also now feel like the person I used to be and want to be. Finally Neil and myself have set a wedding date for next year! Thanks for being there and helping me get back to where I want to be! - Binny, East Sussex [Read about Binny's story in Brighton newspaper The Argus]

I found EasyStop so helpful, I had tried for so many years to give up smoking – but EasyStop done it for me. My life has changed so much now I stopped smoking – I can run for 10 miles, my clothes don’t smell and my teeth are white. I am so grateful to EasyStop – they have changed my life! - Joanne Dunmore, Hove

I just wanted to say thank you. I’ve been an ex-smoker now for 3 months and every day I get stronger and more and more convinced that I’ll never smoke again. I’ve never been able to say that in the past and actually mean it.
I know it was up to me in the first place to make the first move and make the decision to stop smoking but I couldn’t have done this without your help. My Mum keeps asking the question “What did he do to you”? I’ve tried to explain but it’s not a simple, one sentence answer. I liked the follow up letters and the laminate card. It all felt like I hadn’t just been your income and that I had you there if things started going wrong. I just think the whole programme is amazing, and it is the whole programme that makes it work. All the small things adding up to make one huge kick in the ass for that nasty horrible drug habit.
I am going out running 3 – 4 times a week. I’m not stressed any more. I cope with work and problems calmly and quickly as I don’t need to light up before I can deal with it but, my biggest conquest is what was my biggest fear of life as an ex-smoker and that was drinking. I can drink at home or the pub with friends, family or my girlfriend without any problems at all, which is ASTONISHING.
In fact I feel like such a different person I’ve registered as a donor so I can go and give some of my nice clean, healthy, unpolluted blood on Friday evening. I can’t wait!!
- Matt

Just a quick note to say thank you for helping me get over my anxiety and panic attacks. I found the sessions we had very informal and easy going and always came out in a positive mood.

It's so nice to enjoy my days now without having that fear of a panic attack coming on at any time - the fear of fear itself! Not only have you helped me with anxiety, but I feel happier, confident and generally more in control of my stress and moods altogether. Following our conversation in our last session, this is a subject that really interests me and I will continue to read up on related topics and carry on the good work we've started. - G Carlo

When I came for therapy I was desperate for a solution to my problem. It was wonderful to speak to someone who not only understood my problem, but had the time to listen and a solution. I have regained my confidence and not had a panic attack. Should I have one in the future I will know how to deal with it. - Pat, sufferer of extremely bad panic attacks and anxiety

I just thought I'd drop you a quick email to let you know that my flight went ok. I was a little nervous on take-off, but once we were up I actually quite enjoyed it?! Thank you for all your help, it has certainly improved my confidence on planes and I have already booked myself on another holiday, to Egypt this time. If you had told me last year that I'd be flying twice the following year I would have laughed it off, but now it is a reality so that's great stuff. Thanks once again. - C Taylor

Before going to Easystop, I was slightly sceptical, infact I felt that it would never work, and that was a defeatist attitude, but you cant help but feel slightly strange when you tell your friends your going to see a hypnotherapist to stop you smoking ! I know I did a little, but I had a little inside knowledge about the method or what would happen so I felt at ease.

Anyway, I went, now im not going to go into details about the method, but I did it, and as a full time smoker, the release of life I now have from not smoking, I wouldn’t change a thing. I feel healthier, I look better, im richer money wise…….so much richer from quitting you would not believe and I don’t smell ! One of my biggest fears was going out with friends on a night out and the craving for a smoke begins, but with this method you don’t get that, your will power and not wanting to smoke is increased to a level that you will not smoke at all, even if people are smoking around you.

Now I know that this sounds like a normal testimonial but the great thing about this one is that it actually works, how do I know this ? well both my brothers have visited and completed the same course and are still non smokers. All three of us were smokers for long periods of our lives, and we quit for various different reasons, but the most important thing is that we quit and stayed that way !

Your probably reading this and thinking that this is not a real testimonial, but it is, it works and you have nothing to lose by doing it, absolutely nothing, infact your gain so much im not even going to list it !

Thank you Easystop for giving me back my life, and breaking the chains from my addiction to smoking. - Jon, Brighton

Last year I have been under lots of stress, my family and I moved into our new house and as first time buyers the mortgage repayments seemed to be gigantic, I found myself arguing with my wife strong bitter arguments and even considered seriously leaving home and moving out. In short, I was not enjoying life at all, just constantly worrying and worrying.

I decided to meet Andrew as I realised that I am extremely stressed and in need of some sort of support. I hoped that he could help me become happy again and he did !!!. I went to around 3-4 meetings in which we discussed my situation and identified what are the main issues that cause it and what changes need to be made to overcome them. He then used hypnosis and some NLP to help strengthen my self esteem and positive outlook on life and within few weeks I felt much much better with myself, my wife and my life in general.

I recommend Andrew to anyone who may be suffering from these kind of issues. Give it a try, this is a very effective way to resolve them.- Joshua, Brighton
