Hi Tom, I can’t believe how successful this has been and have told lots of friends and family. This has been quite essentially an amazing experience that I didn’t think for one minute I would be able to give up.

I heard about the effectiveness of hypnotherapy from a family member and decided to book a session with Tom. I needed to feel capable to face a new career after changing professional area. Cognitive and behavioural hypnotherapy worked well for me. I left the session feeling self-confident with great sense of self-efficacy, I felt stronger in my capacities and ready to deal with all sorts of professional challenges. Tom is a great therapist, I really felt I was listened to and understood in my difficulties. Tom, thanks for your sense of humour and overall for the guiding and preparing me in my new professional life.

Well, after worrying myself stupid yesterday about the Eastleigh 10k this morning, I sat down last night and listened to your recording. It worked and I can’t thank you enough. No panic at the end when the crowd were shouting and I didn’t stop. Managed to clench my fist and block the whole lot of them out. Finished with a pb of 49.55. Thank you again, no way I could have done that without your help! 😁

Thank you so much for your time yesterday, I came away feeling both excited and empowered!
From someone with a very ‘busy mind’ who has been working on being able to enjoy her runs with a calm, peaceful mind as a break from the rest of the day. Having tried Sports Psychology, Hypnotherapy and Mindfulness before and finding that some things didn’t work for her, we worked together on trying new techniques. This is her feedback:
“I’ve just run 16.5 miles with no music and mostly on my own. For the first time ever I ran for 3hrs 3o minutes and my mind was calm!!! Thanks Tom, the techniques are really starting to work :-)”
“I started running as I wanted something to help my mind switch off and as a way to get fit. However I really struggled to clear my mind (I have ADHD). Work introduced me to ‘mindfulness’ and I hated it, what they taught me didn’t work for me. I went to Tom wanting to be able to run with a clear mind. In just two sessions Tom taught me ways to focus and use imagery. I practised 3-4 times a day and last weekend I ran 16.5 miles (a loop event) and 10 ‘laps’ of the same path on my own with no music. What’s more I was able to clear my mind! Tom’s techniques enabled me to clear my mind, focus on my run and enjoy it! This would have been impossible for me before, I would never have completed 10 laps as I’d be very bored and frustrated! Thank you Tom!”
Dear Tom,
Just to say a very big thank you again for the talk that you gave today.
It certainly hit the right note as it was all that people were talking about in the pub afterwards!

Thanks so much for today, brilliant session. I can really feel the benefits and look forward to testing them out!

New PB this morning at the Winchester 10k! You were in my head the whole way and helped me so much! I didn’t stop at all at the end and had a strong finish! Thank you so much.

I have done both mindfulness and hypnotherapy sessions with Tom to help me with stress and social anxiety. He was very friendly and professional and I felt like he adapted things to suit me. He listened to what I was saying and really helped me work on what I needed which has helped me a lot!
Dawn Baxter, Southampton
Amazing mindfulness meeting! Thanks Tom, already feel like a huge weight has been lifted!
Emma S, Southampton
Tom is a very skilled therapist who puts you at ease right from the beginning. I needed help with an anxiety related issue at work that was stopping me from making progress in my career. Tom helped me develop really effective coping strategies that I still use today. Thank you Tom!

I originally came to Tom because I’d been putting off going to the dentist for so long that it was causing even more dental issues that needed fixing and I’d got to the point where I had to do something. I’ve had incredibly bad anxiety about seeing the dentist since I was young and I’ve tried everything – specialist dentists and even when someone told me that whistling helped! This was a bit of a last resort and I was very sceptical to be honest. But it worked incredibly well! I’m so glad I went and I wish I’d gone soon. My dentist is very surprised at how much I’ve changed! Thank you Tom.
John Bastion, Winchester
Thank you for an amazing talk last night. I must admit I was a little sceptical about asking you to talk but I am so glad I did. Our members were still buzzing about it after your left.
At our meeting on Monday we were treated to a wonderful talk from Tom Cleary about how, in his profession, he uses hypnotherapy to help both adults and children deal with their anxieties. No one had to act as a chicken although the talk itself was mesmerising in that Tom gave an insight into the human mind.

Tom, thank you so much for your input today. The staff are certainly engaged with this developmental area and appear keen to try out some of the practical tips given today. We are even adding a Mindfulness section to our prospectus!!
RJ, Headteacher
A friend recommended I see Tom because of insomnia and worrying about various issues. From the first session he took the time to actually find out what I was looking for but also challenged some of my thoughts and made me realise the reason behind things wasn’t quite what I had assumed. The night after my first session I slept better than I have in ages and I now have a recording he made for me that helps me sleep better. Highly recommended.
Matt Clarke, Winchester
Tom was fantastic with our 9 year old daughter: he put her at her ease and his experience as a teacher meant that he could explain and use visual aids which she would identify with. He went above and beyond our expectations to give her methods to work on, and recordings which she could take away and use. Her sleep has improved and she is sleepwalking less and less. She enjoyed the sessions and the effects were quick.
Sally W, Hampshire
Thank you for the beautiful meditation. I am really enjoying it. I passed my assessment with flying colours! You have been a wonderful inspiration to me, a bright light at the end of the tunnel and a wave of optimism. I think you are a bright, amazing professional and will miss our sessions.
Anne Dodd, Southampton
Thanks for the staff training last week, it was really good and it really got staff thinking. The Early Years staff were buzzing the next morning and really keen to get started on using some of your ideas.
Thank you for all your help and great ideas.
DB, Assistant Headteacher
Thank you for really listening to me. I didn’t feel I could tell anyone else as I thought they’d think I was making a fuss about nothing, but it’s been having a big impact on my life for longer than I can remember. I can now go out and not panic in situations which were really worrying me.
Mrs M, Portsmouth
After coming to see me about social anxiety and relationship worries, we worked together using both Hypnotherapy and Mindfulness techniques to resolve these issues:
“I feel a lot happier and more confident that this is really going to help me, I’ve already used one of the techniques today, it really did help!”
“I’ve found these sessions really helpful and think it has definitely helped me feel more comfortable in situations I would normally find hard. I want to thank you for everything.”
Miss H, New Forest
Tom Cleary was my mentor/tutor whilst I completed training in conjunction with Winchester University. The course was rather challenging and throughout the experience Tom was there to guide and support me.
When I felt overwhelmed or unsure Tom was always available to listen to my concerns or anxieties, no matter how trivial they may have seemed. He always knew the latest research and methodologies and managed to convey these in a way that was accessible and clear.
There were times during the course that I lacked self belief and Tom would always point out the positives in my achievements whilst gently steering me in the right direction.
I left my course with outstanding marks and I believe that Tom’s support enabled me to achieve this.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Tom to anyone looking for fair, empathetic and knowledgeable support.
Mrs S, Winchester
