What Gary’s clients say

I really enjoyed the entire hypnosis experience; I initially thought it would be hard to relax but, compared to anything similar I’ve done, I felt a level of calm I didn’t think I would achieve. It is doubly impressive as we did the sessions during a work day when I would say it’s more difficult to stop thinking about background to do lists and problems. This is a testament to your skill for putting people at ease.
I found it easier and easier to relax as the sessions went on, and the final session was definitely the best in that regard. This might be because I knew the drill by then, but could also be because you told me beforehand that that session would just be focusing on talking positively rather than negatively (not mentioning sea sickness etc.). Either way I felt more like I was asleep but could hear you and focus on your voice while my body felt totally relaxed and almost underwater which was really cool, and I was ridiculously relaxed the rest of the day.

One thing I definitely noticed a difference in was my general travel sickness, because this affects me pretty much all the time and is a common issue I have to deal with whenever I travel anywhere that I am not driving. On one car journey I was all the way in the back and would usually feel sick almost immediately, but felt nothing and even spent most of the journey on my phone (bad I know), when usually I wouldn’t dream of looking at it in case I started feeling sick.

In all I would call the entire experience a positive one and I think a successful one as I think it’s changed the way I think about feeling motion sick.  I feel more in control rather than being anxious before every trip. I know I will certainly feel sick in the future but I feel more prepared to deal with it and calm myself down rather than feeling those initial pangs and feeling powerless to where it is going.

I was first introduced to Gary through a close friend. On first introduction he made me feel very relaxed and immediately assured me that he was there to start a journey with me, one that I never thought in my life I would ever need to go on.

A few years ago, my life turned completely upside down. I was suddenly spiralling into an abyss that was completely out of control, I had lost all my self-esteem, my morals and integrity had become detached from me, I was depressed, unable to sleep and my life was a mess… I didn’t know which path my life was going to take me down.

On my first face to face consultation Gary was super calm and collected. For me to be able to open up to a complete stranger was incredibly difficult for me; I guess as a male, pride gets in the way but Gary was able to reach into my head and start to signpost the areas in my life that needed healing.

Over the course of months to follow my face-to-face consultations were becoming more relaxed and I could feel that my trust in Gary was growing stronger. He never judged me, always listened, was there to manage my emotions. He had a calm way and ability of being able to extract more out of me on certain parts of my therapy that I was still unable to open up about. My trust in Gary grew stronger.

Gary was starting to encourage me to get back out in the world and see my life from a different perspective. We moved over to telephone consultations which started to work, too, as Gary would always go over the positives that we had achieved together.

My therapy with Gary is still ongoing but I can honestly say, I feel he has started to get my life back.

I work in a stressful environment in finance and felt I needed some support concerning my work and home life. I had a face-to-face session to start and then followed that with online and telephone sessions, Gary understood the anxiety I was going through and he made me feel at ease quickly. The flexibility of how I took my sessions was really empowering and made me feel supported. 

– Jack

I had my counselling sessions online with Gary. It was the first time I had online counselling and was a bit apprehensive at first, but Gary was very professional. He talked me through the process and I would not hesitate to recommend Gary and his online sessions. They were just as effective as being face-to-face.

The first team training allowed us to become aware of the importance and impact of words. Together, we developed a positive and convincing argument. We left that day feeling extremely enthusiastic and positive! Subsequently, the discovery of each team member’s MBTI profile helped them to better understand their ease or difficulty in interacting with colleagues. Thanks to the support provided by David and Véronique, the administrative and wine tourism teams were able to highlight the strengths of each personality and, more importantly, their complementarity, in order to work better together and accept their differences.
The training was extremely well prepared in advance, in a very personalized way, and the follow-up after the training was also very thorough.

La 1 ère formation d’équipe nous a permis de prendre conscience de l’importance et du poids des mots. Nous avons élaboré, tous ensembles un argumentaire positif et convaincant. Nous sommes ressortis de cette journée hyper enthousiastes et positifs ! Dans un 2 ème temps, la découverte par chaque membre de l’équipe de son profil MBTI leur a
permis de mieux comprendre les facilités ou difficultés de fonctionnement avec leurs collègues. Grâce à l’accompagnement réalisé par David et Véronique, les équipes administratives et œnotourisme ont pu mettre en valeur les atouts de chaque personnalité et surtout leur complémentarité, afin de mieux travailler ensemble et accepter leurs
différences.
La formation a été extrêmement bien préparée en amont, de façon très personnalisée, et le suivi après formation a également été très pointu.

Thanks to David Chantelot’s intervention, I overcame a paralyzing fear of bridges that threatened to prevent me from participating in the New York Marathon. This fear, which had deeply affected my daily and professional life, seemed insurmountable, especially with a marathon that included five bridges. However, with just two preparation sessions, David helped me regain the necessary confidence to drive on the highway and, ultimately, to cross the marathon bridges with serenity and joy. Succeeding in this 42.195 km marathon, despite my phobia, became a personal triumph and a source of lasting pride, illustrating the ability to overcome fears with the right support.

Grâce à l’intervention de David Chantelot, j’ai surmonté une phobie des ponts paralysante qui menaçait de m’empêcher de participer au Marathon de New York. Cette peur, qui avait profondément affecté ma vie quotidienne et professionnelle, semblait insurmontable, surtout avec un marathon comprenant cinq ponts. Cependant, avec seulement deux séances de préparation, David m’a aidé à retrouver la confiance nécessaire pour conduire sur l’autoroute et, finalement, à traverser les ponts du marathon avec sérénité et joie. Réussir ce marathon de 42,195 km, malgré ma phobie, est devenu un triomphe personnel et une source de fierté durable, illustrant la capacité de surmonter ses peurs avec le bon soutien.
