Testimonials

  • Delyana Pavlova - Milton Keynes/UK

    I had a 6 session therapy with accent on weight loss, although the approach is holistic and so Dr Chaves focused on establishing healthy habits, improving lifestyle and changing behaviour. Through hypnotherapy the reasons for my unhelpful attitudes were identified and then addressed through parts therapy.

    I am pleased with the results I have with my time management, approach to food and portion control. After most sessions I received personalised audio recordings which I keep listening to and help me to stay on track with my goals. I highly recommend hypnotherapy with Dr. Chaves, his attitude throughout was very professional, warm and friendly. He offers a great service and it is worth the price!

  • Juliana Rodrigues - Milton Keynes/UK

    “In my first contact with hypnotherapy and Gus, I had no idea what would happen and how it would help me, but I knew it would be life changing and that I was on the right track. After the first session, where the consultation and the first hypnosis session took place, I realised how much I needed it. I realized that for me it wasn't just about losing weight, it was about acquiring healthier habits. I've never been keen on physical activity, but I know how important it is for our health and well being, and after my sessions I can say that I am a healthier person with healthy habits. It's a change from the inside out, it's a change in behavior, and it was painless and very satisfying.”

  • Carolina Fonseca - São Paulo/Brazil

    Gus is very careful in listening, conducting the session and giving feedback. He explained everything very clearly from the start and made me feel completely safe, at ease and relaxed. I was able to reach a level of relaxation that I had not experienced before, and I got immediate results with the sessions.
    The main issue I brought was finding and establishing a healthy love relationship with a partner. Because of previous bad experiences I had spent a few years intentionally avoiding love relationships, and exactly a week after my hypnosis sessions ended I met a person with whom I started a healthy relationship. It was amazing and I didn't even expect it, I am very happy with the results. I hope more people will be touched and benefited by his work!”

  • Lucas Fernandes - Milton Keynes/UK

    “I reached out to Gus to get help losing weight. Right from the start I could already see change in my behavior and my thinking pattern. Although my goal was weight loss, during the sessions we uncovered issues that needed some attention for the process to be permanent, such as anxiety and low self-esteem; and it made me understand how it was influencing my relationship with food and how I was leading life in general. The sessions made me more confident and made me understand and address some habits and thoughts I had.
    Nowadays I try to do self hypnosis at least twice a week to reinforce everything we worked on and keep me on the path I want for myself. I really appreciated Gus’s professionalism, he made me feel so comfortable during our sessions that it allowed me to open up and deal with issues in depth.

  • Giovanna Carvalho - Osasco/Brazil

    Gus is a competent and ethical professional, thanks to his work I was able create a whole set of tools to learn to deal with some triggers of mine, and evolve with my cognitive and spiritual behavior. I am very grateful to you, Gus!

  • Mayra Rocha - São Roque/Brazil

    An attentive, careful and welcoming listening skill was what I found in the first session with Dr. Gus. He proved to be a serious, ethical and essential professional when it came to demystifying clinical hypnosis for me. I had a lot of myth-based fears and his openness to explain and clear up doubts took me to a place of safeness and trust.
    From the second session and throughout the journey with him, I felt cared for and validated in what I felt. The result was visible in my daily life, I found myself dealing in another way with issues that previously were very stressful to me, it was as if I had been edited and had resignified the way to deal with them. I am immensely grateful for this journey and I know now that I have found another safe space to work on life's challenges when I need a hand. Thank you very much, Dr. Gus! I'm sure you will help many people who are open to transforming and having a better quality of life!”

How To Work With Me

When it comes to hypnotherapy, it's important that both of us – you as the client and me as the therapist – are on the same wavelength. That's why I offer a Free Discovery Call.

During this call, we can chat about what difficulties you've been dealing with, understand what you need right now, get a sense of your expectations and goals. We can also clear up any questions you have about how hypnotherapy works. And of course, it's a great opportunity for both of us to figure out if we'll make a good team moving forward. If we come to the conclusion that you are ready and willing to make changes to your life I will introduce you to the programmes I offer that fit your needs.

I look forward to our conversation and it would be my pleasure for us to connect.
