Pure Calm HypnotherapyAnmeldelser 

Jonathan is very understanding and helped me on my journey. Gave me a better understanding of my anxiety and how to control it. Thank you Jonathan

Incredible experience, very professional, knowledgeable and kind. Helped me after years of unsuccessful attempts to quit smoking. Wish I had tried before. Like changing experience, I am eternally grateful. Many thanks

2 1/2 years ago I was diagnosed with cancer and I have experienced stress, anxiety and insomnia. Jonathan has helped me look at the positives in my life which has helped reduce the negativity, stress and also improved my sleep pattern.
Jonathan is kind, compassionate and caring in his manner and is an excellent listener. He respects your problems with professionalism and talks about the intellectual and negative brains in our heads which changes our emotional state.
I choose to have regular sessions which I feel resets my emotions and helps me to sleep better, feel positive for the future and helps me to navigate my thoughts. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without his support and advice. I also recently drove for the first time in 2 1/2 years and the hypnotherapy took away the anxiety and stress and helped me to actually enjoy my driving lesson.
His services are 5/5 and thoroughly recommended his therapy.

I have had several sessions with Jon and I'm really glad I did. Each session followed a helpful structure with repeating patterns that I found genuinely beneficial - there was something reassuring about knowing what to expect while still getting something new from each session. I have felt a genuine improvement in my behaviour and thought processes in the long term.

I also appreciated Jon's solution-focused approach. Rather than dwelling on problems, we worked on positive and practical ways forward, which felt much more empowering. He has a real gift for explaining how the brain works in everyday language that actually makes sense. I never felt overwhelmed by neuroscientific jargon I couldn't understand.

The meditation parts of our sessions were incredibly relaxing and helpful. Jon created a really calm environment where I could just let go. Every session I left feeling more centered and peaceful than when we started.

Jon was also generous with resources - he shared materials from our sessions and recommended some great books to read between appointments. It showed he was invested in my progress beyond just our time together.

I'd definitely recommend Jon to anyone considering hypnotherapy. He's professional, knowledgeable, and has a wonderful way of making the whole experience feel natural and beneficial.

In 2024 at the age of 40 I was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer. I did not know which way was up. Thanks to 8 sessions with Jonathan at Best Banana Hypnotherapy earlier this year (2025) I am in a much better place, sleeping better, looking at the small things in life each day, eating better and enjoying some lovely walks to improve my fitness.

I am less anxious about my scans and hospital visits along with being more focused on living in the present, having things to look forward to in the future. I have managed to maintain this since my sessions but know that Jonathan and the team are available should I need them. I am grateful for the toolkit and trance sessions to move forward in my life.

Cannot rate hypnotherapy from Best Banana highly enough. The sessions have helped me so much, especially those dealing with phobia. I wholeheartedly recommend Best Banana to anyone with a phobia or those dealing with anxiety or stress. It is life changing.

There was subtle subliminal guidance to a better way of living

Tina couldn’t have been more helpful in squeezing my 14 yo son in for urgent help with vaccine phobia. In 5 sessions she had helped him identify the trigger and master several techniques to get him through the vaccinations. She coordinated and communicated with the health centre explaining what would help him. She accompanied him to two sets of vaccinations on separate days. We’ve never use hypnotherapy before but are now big fans.

Tina really listened and unravelled my troubled mind

I approached Tina to help me with a dental phobia I have had since I was a child.
For years I have avoided a dentist unless it was unavoidable and each visit would result in desperate anxiety before the appointment and a feeling of terror during the appointment.
During the past 2 years I experienced dental abrasions on 11 teeth caused by years of excessive brushing. Not a day went past without worrying about it and the treatment needed to remedy it.
I finally plucked up the courage to use hypnotherapy to help me cope with having the treatment. I attended sessions with Tina and she immediately put me at ease explaining the process and taking the time to understand what I was going through.
After attending the sessions and listening to the MP3 recording she sent me I felt confident and ready for the appointment.
I felt no anxiety in the lead up and no fear throughout the appointment.
I actually ended up having additional treatments and an appointment with the hygienist a few days later, something I could not have dreamed of being able to do before seeing Tina.
I am now free of any fear of the dentist and it has changed my life and given me a new level of confidence.
Thank you Tina, I can’t recommend you highly enough.

I got a lot from my sessions with Tina. She was friendly and easy to talk to. I have come away with techniques I can use to help me in daily life. Thank you so much. I would definitely recommend!

Tina has a very calming voice and is so good at listening. She managed to turn my pessimistic outlook around to my usual optimistic view of life. I was struggling to sleep and listening to the tape that Tina had recorded has helped enormously. I can definitely recommend hypnotherapy

The whole process in terms of organisation was very easy from the initial contact and consultation to the final session. The choice of online or face to face was also helpful depending on individual circumstance.

Tina is skilled at working with you to define and reach your goals, both short and longer term, teaching you the science behind the approach. This is very helpful in understanding the techniques used and their impact. She has a compassionate and non judgemental approach.

Sessions include a mix of discussion, questioning, psycho education, visualisation and deep guided meditation or hypnotherapy.

I would thoroughly recommend Tina and the Solution Focused approach for anyone who wants to work towards a goal. It's highly effective.

I had hypnotherapy and relaxation sessions with best banana.

It was a really good set of sessions that helped with goal setting in life as well as managing work stress.

Easily a 5/5 stars, Tina is so helpful, professional and just so lovely. We tailor made each session so that I could truly focus on the goals I wanted to prioritise.
I sought help for management and control over poor food choices and to this day my stability with food remains constant. The other thing I really like is I can book in ad hoc sessions as needed. Would highly recommend.
