I must admit that when we first started I was more than a little dubious about some of her techniques but Diane's friendly style was soon able to put me completely at ease and convince me otherwise. Diane is a very determined, but warm and compassionate person, and an amazing therapist who I would recommend to anybody. Thank you Diane

"I was skeptical because I’ve had bad experiences with therapy in the past, but I was pleasantly…read moresurprised: it’s actually really good. There have been improvements in my day to day life, I’ve been doing more, but not in the manic-doing-everything way that I’m used to, just in a getting-more-done way. I found that every time I spent time on the internet when I wasn’t working, my happiness went down. I’d thought I enjoyed things like playing around on Pinterest and Tumblr â€" and I do â€" but sometimes I’d do it just to stop myself thinking about anything, and actually it wasn’t healthy. I’ve now cut down on my internet usage (I know! Shocking!) and it’s really helping me feel better about life in general.” - Scar Birmingham

I was a little apprehensive on my first visit to see Dr. Qureshi but was very surprised how welcoming and reassuring he was. He spoke to me in depth about my anxiety and changed my tablets. that was a month ago and my life has changed incredibly. I dont feel anxious anymore and my family and work colleagues can see a huge difference. Dr. Qureshi gave me the support i needed and told me to see him anytime i needed to. Thankyou so much. I am extremely relieved to now have such a caring and helpful doctor which seems to be unusual in this day and age. Thankyou Dr. Qureshi.

My first session was quite informal were I was explained what a mindset coach was all about and l…read morefound Safia really helpful and very cooperative in explaining and listening to what l had to say. As my main problem was mostly related to weight at the end of my session I felt really motivated and enthusiastic about losing my weight and keeping it off. My second session was more intense because of the way l was feeling low, depressed and very tearful as l was not in a good place. But when l spoke to Safia we went through some of the issues that were really making me feel down I realise what the real issue was and by talking through my issues l felt much better in myself and l could see more clearly what l had to do to not feel like that again. Safia is an excellent listener, and she knows how to make you feel better. I would really recommend her to anyone if they got any problems that they are going through she makes a real difference in helping you through it.

In May of 2009 my mom was diagnosed with grade four type breast cancer. I won't pretend to be a…read moredoctor but basically this is the most aggressive form of cancer there is. The prognosis wasn't good. After surgery, weeks of chemotherapy and an almighty struggle my mom lost her battle. I was at her bedside when she passed away and I'd like to think she was as comfortable as possible. Although I knew she was in a better place I felt like my heart and soul had been crushed. The woman who had been the cornerstone of my life was now gone. During this time I took compassionate leave from my job as a business analyst. I never went back. I had some money saved up but with bills to be paid this quickly drained away. To be honest I didn't really care. I'd become a human slug, sleeping for 14 hours a day and living off snack foods. All this time my wife was under increasing pressure and I was doing nothing to help. After months of patience she finally gave up on me. She issued me an ultimatum...either I pull myself together or she was going to leave. If I thought I was alone before, now I well and truly was. The days and weeks became a blur as time passed me by. There was more than one occasion where I seriously considered suicide. It was actually while I was in this frame of mind that I found something that helped me. It was at, of all places, Youtube. I was looking for something, anything that might take my mind of my state of like when I found a video which contained a relaxation hypnotherapy session. It wasn't much of a video really. Just a still image with audio. But what did I have to lose? I'd already lost everything I'd cared about, half of which was completely my own fault. So I closed my eyes...and something magical began to happen. For the first time in a long time I actually began to feel relaxed. The numb pain that permeated my entire being faded. In under ten minutes I felt...better. I was by no means "back to normal" but I recognised this could at least be the first step. The next day I awoke with a focus. I now had a tool that I could use to overcome my depression and get my life back on track. What I didn't have however was much money. I simply couldn't afford to hire a hypnotherapist at the rates they charge. Again an internet search seemed to provide the answer. There are a number of websites which offer professional hypnosis sessions on MP3s or CDs at much more affordable prices. However I made a mistake. I didn't really do any research and I ended up buying numerous MP3s that I couldn't feel a connection with. Not in the same way as I did that original video anyway. I had made small improvements but I still couldn't even face leaving the house. This wasn't too big a problem though as I wasn't eating a great deal anyway. In the shower an image suddenly burned into my retinas. I don't know who put that image there, if it was God or maybe my mom trying to contact me but I saw the image of the video that had previously bolstered my spirits. In this image I could see what appeared to be a blurred logo. It was too blurred to make out but the thought struck me "If this company makes videos then they might make MP3s too." I jumped out the shower, dried off and put on a clean set of clothes. Quickly I got to my laptop and went about finding this relaxation hypnotherapy video. Success! I found it and indeed there was the logo, only this time it wasn't blurred - it was crystal clear. Even better was the link to the site and the confirmation that they did indeed sell MP3s. I saw a long list of sessions available and clicked on the first one that appealed to me. Something to boost my shattered confidence. There was a sample of the session which I listened to...it was the very same voice I'd heard earlier that had helped me to clear the fog which clouded my mind. I bought six MP3s in total. As soon as they arrived in my email I began to listen to them. I literally listened to all six back to back. They were quite short but they had me hooked and I listened to every word intently. I did this over the next week and day by day I could feel my depression, fears and worries melt away. Eventually I felt brave enough to leave the house and go shopping. I could have chosen to go food shopping at any time, as could by wife. By strange happenstance though we were in the same place at the same time. When I saw her my heart went on a rollercoaster of emotions. In once instance it swelled with love, shame, guilt and sorrow. We hadn't spoken since she had left, she later told me that she'd rung a number of times but I'd never answered. I was happy to see her yet I felt myself at a loss for words. All I could do was smile meekly. We soon made up and got back together and my life was back on track. I soon found a new job that I'm very happy with working for a close friend. So thanks you Hypobusters for helping me gey my life back together once more.
