TESTIMONIALS FROM THERAPY CLIENTS
Louise and Marcus, Co Meath – on son’s Phobia of Dogs
“My son suffered from a phobia of dogs. This had a very negative effect on his ability to mix with other kids or play outside. We were recommended to contact Owen via a friend who had successfully used his services before. My son had one session with Owen in the privacy of our own house so my son would feel comfort-able in his normal surroundings.
“The result was amazing. We now have a child that plays like any normal child and goes on walks etc., with no real fear of dogs. He has even been seeing to pat or stroke dogs when he encounters them in his everyday life. Owen once again many thanks!”
Jackie, Dublin – on Guilt
“Firstly, I just wanted to thank The Doc from the bottom of my heart for your help… Thanks! As you reads this letter, I wonder if you will be thinking what I originally thought when I heard about this: “Oh here we go again, sounds great but how do I put it into practice or is this just another money-making gimmick?”
“I was the ultimate sceptic and by God did The Doc blow my scepticisms right out of the water! I still try to analyse it but I am stunned how it worked. I understand the process but it just seems too simple to believe – and yet it works!
“I truly hope that you benefit from seeing him as I have, whether you decide to see him on a “one to one” basis (which suited me better) or in a group session. If, by telling my story, I can help just one person take that step, great.
“Synopsis: For the last 4 years I have lived a robotic life since the break-up of my 11-year relationship / sale of the house / moving etc., my brother having a motorbike accident (having to have his leg amputated) and then the death of my other beloved brother, Rene, in a motorbike accident 15 days after his 40th birthday. This was the final straw and I just shut down… basically the connection between my heart and my brain severed.
“Family and friends all tried to help to no avail: I tried everything under the sun… from bereavement/relationship counselling, to psychiatrists, psychologists I even signed myself into St. Pat’s as I thought they might be able to help (biggest mistake of my life!!) so besides having spent thousands no one was able to help me. One night in work I happened to see an advert for one of The Doc’s workshop introductions and since I had nothing better to do I decided to attend. As I said I was a sceptic, I did go into the session with an open mind, but really didn’t expect much. BIG MISTAKE!!!
“The agreed fee was €300 for a positive result, whether it took 2-3 or 10 hours. I warned The Doc that he could really be losing out here, as I was an “enigma”. We chatted for about an hour and we determined that among other things, Guilt played a huge part in my life and we focused on that. After another hour, The Doc worked through my first ever guilt feeling and completely neutralised it. I was flabbergasted so much so that during the session (as my unconscious mind was working away) I was laughing out loud (nervousness of the unknown!!), and I could feel it working even though my conscious mind had no control over it. Yet when the session was complete I felt so elated it was like a ton of weight had been lifted. My friends have noticed an extreme change in me and so have I. I can’t wait for my next session to deal with other “hang-ups” that I picked up in life.
“The most wonderful thing about my session with The Doc is that he focused on how my mind processed information. Conventional methods just didn’t work for me as I can’t visualise things as some people can, but he actually kept at it until he found a way for my brain to intake what he was saying and hence work his magic. Although, as far as I know, The Doc isn’t a magician, I can promise that you will feel magical after it. Good Luck to you!”
Paula, Stillorgan – on Emotional Trauma
“Having had a significant emotional trauma (in an abusive relationship with an older man) after which my confidence and self-worth all but disappeared, I had basically given up on the idea of ever attracting my ‘perfect partner’, let alone feeling I deserved one. Since seeing Owen and making some powerful changes and finding out what I really want in a relationship, I have been fortunate to find the special someone and will be ever grateful to NLP for helping me come out of my shell and start a new and exciting life.”
Colin Griffin, Dublin – on Stress
“I had seen numerous therapists – from hypno to psycho – in an attempt to get a handle on the stress I was suffering from for years, and none of them could help me sort it out. A good friend of mine who had seen The Doc recommended I speak with him. After a brief chat over the phone, I felt hopeful again and agreed to meet with him. Three hours later, not only was the stress gone, I couldn’t get it back no matter how hard I tried! Either this man is a genius or NLP is the fastest cure available. Either way, I’m happy and stress free!”
Paddy Loughran, Dublin City – on Low Self-Esteem
I met with The Doc for a number of sessions to tackle my feelings of low self-esteem and inadequacy. I felt he had a very refreshing outlook that challenged my then thinking and forced me to delve deep within myself to figure out what was happening. The two sessions ultimately lead me to feel that I’m much more in control of my state of mind and my self-esteem has increased considerably. I also liked the way he charged me for the treatment he offers, not by the hour, but by my realising my outcomes, and this caused me to view him as more trustworthy and not someone who was just in it for the money.
Caitriona Flynn, Dublin – on Anxiety
“I went to see The Doc following my mother hearing him on the radio. At the time I was feeling anxious, had low self-esteem and was not as happy as I knew I could be. Following one session my whole outlook in life changed, he enabled me to see the power of my own mind and how I could use this to control all areas of my life. Since that one meeting I have changed and this has been commented on by a lot of my friends and family. I am much more comfortable in my own skin; I now realize how much power I have over how I allow myself to feel. I would recommend The Doc to any individual with any issues in any area of their lives.”
Justine McCarthy, Dublin – on Flying Phobia
“After five years of being grounded with a paralyzing terror of flying, I spent less than two hours in the care of Owen Pardue and, a fortnight later, found myself actually enjoying the sensation of flying to Barcelona.”
Therese, Portmarnock – on Depression
“Eversince breaking up with my boyfriend over two years ago, I became more withdrawn and depressed about ever meeting someone again. Being coached by Orla gave me the courage and confidence I needed and kickstarted me back into action. I’ve met lots of interesting men since and am now in the best ‘love relationship’ I’ve ever had. I don’t know what the future holds, but I’m enjoying every minute of it!”
Jane, USA – on Trauma
“Dear Doc, Having had a significant emotional trauma (in an abusive relationship with an older man) after which my confidence and self-worth all but disappeared, I had basically given up on the idea of ever attracting my ‘perfect partner’, let alone feeling I deserved one. Since working one-on-one with you, I am making some powerful changes and finding out what I really want in a relationship, I have been fortunate to find the special someone and will be ever grateful to you for helping me come out of my shell and start a new and exciting life.
“After spending much of my adult life working and building my career, I hadn’t had that much experience in the area of dating. Since arriving at a place where I have much more free time, I realised that I was ready to meet – as you say, ‘my perfect partner’ – but did not feel confident in knowing how to go about it. This intervention was a godsend and the timing couldn’t have been better. With my new skills and outlook, I am now having a great time meeting lots of possible ‘perfect partners’. I haven’t met the one yet, but I am thoroughly enjoying the journey. I can’t recommend you both highly enough. Thank you – you don’t only talk the talk, you also walk the walk.”
Kristen Kapelli, Dublin - on Suicide, Guilt, & Grief
“Eight years ago, I lost my mom to suicide. The guilt was so intense even 8 years later that I felt suicidal on a regular basis. I couldn’t even think of a happy memory about my mom without feeling cheated and intensely melancholy. I felt her death as if it was only yesterday and just couldn’t move on. I felt if I moved on at all it would be a betrayal to her and I felt I deserved to feel miserable as I blamed myself for her suicide. I tried every kind of therapy I could to shift myself out of these self-defeating thoughts and feelings and just couldn’t do it. Then through a friend I heard of the wonderful work the MINDFIELD GROUP do. Before getting down to the real work, I had a consultation first with a MINDFIELD Guide… and I began to notice change for the better taking place after that session and before the intervention, which was called MINDFIELD MEMORY RESOLUTION TECHNIQUE.
"After the resolution, I felt huge relief from some of the crushing emotions I used to entertain. I came to realize through my Guide that I wasn’t to blame for my mother’s death, and in fact it was the opposite. I learned how to deal with any negative emotions surrounding my mom. Now when I think of her, I smile, remembering happy times with her and feeling good that I have those memories with her. I feel like a whole new person with regards to my relationship with my mom before and after her life. I also feel hopeful of life again. I know I deserve happiness, and now know at a deep level that my mom would want that for me. My Guide showed me how to break free from so many things that have been weighing me down for years, and I am so appreciative to him for that.”
Robert & Jenny, Co. Meath - on Smoking
“Our MINDFIELD Guide suggested that we get a big jar and put a picture of the place we want to visit on it and the date we’d like to go, and everyday to put the money we used to waste on cigarettes into the jar. Only a few months have passed since we successfully quit smoking and we’ve already saved more than half of what we need for the holiday! We couldn’t be happier.”
Pierce Fox, Co. Meath - on Overcoming Guilt
“When I first visited MINDFIELD I was stuck in a rut. I thought I knew the root cause of it but like visiting the doctor I was quickly informed that what I was feeling was more the symptoms than the root cause. My Guide efficently asked questions that revealed the roots of the problem and helped me understand why I was feeling the way I was. After two meetings, I learned to completely evolve my thought process and overcome many of the issues I was experiencing. I highly recommend MINDFIELD to one and all.”
Fr. Eddie Byrne, African Missionary - on Fear & Sadness
“I wish to thank, with grateful appreciation, my MINDFIELD Guide for all his help and EXCELLENT guidance – also his assistant, Orla for her kindness. I feel that you have helped me enormously – I do not feel sad now, and fear is CONSIDERABLY less, and continues to lessen. I am very CONFIDENT that I will derive great benefit from it in the months to come – especially all you explained about RAPPORT. Sincerest appreciation!”
Orla, Dublin - on Self-Harming
“I was cutting my arms and legs with a razor-blade for around four years before seeking help. I had gotten to a place in my life where I was feeling nothing – no pain, no joy, no feelings at all – and, I suppose, to test how far it went, I began to harm myself. The first time was exhilarating because I was amazed and thrilled to find that even cutting myself caused no pain, no feeling. Looking back, I am happy and relieved that I was recommended to use a MINDFIELD Guide because I now fear where the self-harming would have lead me as there seemed to be no limit to the severity of the cuts I made. The only reason I opened up and was willing to eventually be guided by this person was because he did not assume to know anything about me or what I was doing and showed no signs of judgement – he was genuine in his respect for me and his desire to understand how it was for me. This was the turning point for me and everything changed. I learned how to reconnect with and trust my own feelings again. Forever grateful to my guide, I strongly recommend anybody who wants to find more healthy ways to feel in control of their lives, talk to a MINDFIELD Guide.”
Andrew Whelan, Co Louth, Ireland - on Coulrophobia (fear of clowns)
“I was around 8 years old when I was stricken with coulrophobia (fear of clowns) after seeing the movie IT by Stephen King. As a grown man, it was a total embarrassment and caused people to laugh at me when they found out. I could not attend my own children’s birthday parties during the time the clown was present. After many years of suffering needlessly, not to mention spending a sizable sum seeking treatments that did not work, a friend recommended I see the Phobia Dr. From the comfort of my living room, without any discomfort, and in less than a half an hour, I was cured. That was over 3 years ago and I remain free from my phobia to this day. I no longer worry about a clown character showing up in a movie or in real life. My reaction is the same as everyone else’s. If you have a phobia you are ready to resolve, I cannot recommend the Phobia Dr. highly enough.”
ON THE HYPNO-PERSONAL METHOD
“Having used and continue to use the HYPNO-Personal method for improving my acting skills and levels of confidence, I have not yet found a better way to easily accomplish these things.” Fran Brennan, Actor, (Fair City)
“I was suffering with writer’s block when a friend recommended the HYPNO-Personal method. As I had already used NLP successfully, I decided to keep an open mind and try it. Within a matter of days the block had dissolved and I was feeling creative again! If you want effortless change, try the HYPNO-Personal method, you’ll be glad you did!” – Antonia Leslie, Journalist
“I use it to help increase my creativity, self-esteem and confidence. Does it work? I confidently recommend this practical and powerful method for effective change to everyone I know interested in solving problems or improving what they do!” Doodle Kennelly
“I found the Hypno-Personal method tremendously useful and would suggest that anyone interested in lasting change use it! It’s super!” – John J May, Entrepreneur, Author, Speaker
