I was told the 'next' visit was the actual hypnosis session and this was the introductory - I was told this half way through the session which conflicted what my email enquiry had said. Comes across as a bit of a money making scam and its a hard earned £300 I will never see again! Truly regret it, as its put me off hypnosis completely.

I was a little surprised to read the other reviews about the Therapy Lounge. I first visited Danny…read morein late 2014 to help me with a fear of public speaking - which was becoming increasingly important for career progression. I really liked the format of the session which felt like coaching / therapy first, then hypnotherapy after. I visited 3 times that year and felt a huge benefit. What was a phobia whereby I would lose sleep or be tempted not to put myself forward for things was reduced to a mild nervousness (which I think probably 99% of people will always have!). I decided to visit again at the end of 2015 after I felt I wanted to continue my progress, and I had a specific need (to speak at a conference). I found the sessions (a further 2) to be incredibly valuable yet again. I think expectations need to be clear - this is a process that you have to emotionally buy in to and believe in, and the hypnosis experience is not always the same. My first ever session definitely felt like the most impactful of all of them - and I felt the most significant improvement, and others have been more gradual. Overall I would definitely recommend (for public speaking) and if I had the choice to go back and decide to invest my money again I absolutely would.

I tried this place with a Groupon deal and I was very happy with my haircut. The place itself…read morewasn't anything to rave about (toilet wasn't so nice), and I wasn't offered a drink like other places, but the staff were really friendly and informative. My hairdresser Asha is amazing, she cut my hair better than what I wanted and even when the back was a bit too long I went to see her again in a week and she was really good at trying to solve my issue. Thank you Asha for the fantastic new bob, and if I could give you infinite stars I would! Cons are that more time could have been spent on the wash, conditioning and styling, but honestly I was so impressed with my new look, which made up for everything else :)

Booked in for a wax, as my usual place was booked out for two days, and was told cost would be £10,…read morewhich is surprisingly cheap. When I turned up, cost changed to £30, as I was desperate, I stayed, bad move. The lady was really friendly but when I said it was hurting because she kept going over the same areas repeatedly, she said she wasn't. Not being funny, but it is actually happening to me, before my eyes. Result looked ok but was sore. I will ensure to book my normal place in advance.

Never Again! I am…read moregoing to write about the worst experience I have even had at the hands of a Doctor in a Hospital. The Whittington Hospital to be precise. His name is Dr. Joquau Kravvas from Thesalonica Greece, and he possesses the worst kind of Greek Male Mysogony that exists. I was greeted with "Why are you wearing two jumpers"? It is very cold possible the coldest day of the year I replied. He explained nothing about the treatment I had gathered from the nurse that he was about to remove some red skin that could possible develop into a cancerous growth, in the event it did not. Dr. Brarrack joked with the nurse that he would 'Have To Remove Half Of My Face' due to what he could see. I certainly hoped not. He drilled ferociously for half an hour. It was relentless. I hope I would;d not be scarred for life. The nurse said the scar would bleed for a week or so. It went on to bleed for over six weeks, I had to visit the A&E of UCHL during the Xmas break as it bled soo much throughout the dressing and I woke up to blood on my pillow for six weeks. This was embarrassing as I was staying with relatives for some of the holiday, Three months late the scar is still there. I wrote an honest review of my treatment and mentioned his name. He had it removed. But I doubt that Yelp will allow vanity struck doctors like him to remove an honest review. I like the nurses in the Dermatology dept. and I like the Italian coffee and soup stand that is parked in front of the Whittington, but I never want to set eyes on Joqau Barrack as long as I live. And I would not wish him to cut a biopsy into anyone\s cheek. Not even in Harley Street which he arrogantly brags about. He drilled by cheek with the ferocity of a farmer drilling a carcass,

Over the last month I have spent a fair bit of time in and out of various hospitals in London. I…read moream thinking of doing a series. So let's start with the one closest to home. Whilst this isn't the first hospital I have ever been in, in London, it was the first to offer me overnight hospitality and they keep asking me to come back for more. I get the feeling the staff like having me around, or my health issue is more serious than it feels. The staff here are great. Really friendly and welcoming. When I checked in to A&E I was glad to have a friend with me to kill the time but I was seen by triage within 20 minutes and then only had to wait a few hours (it wasn't obviously serious) before being seen by a doctor. The A&E doctor was a nice guy, though I didn't particularly approve of the way he stuck needles into me, it hurt quite a lot (it was in the hand) and since I hate needles anyway (even writing this is making me feel faint) I was throwing up quite a lot. The anti-sickness drugs took effect swiftly and when the blood test results came back I was given a room in major injuries within 5 minutes and a private room on a ward within a couple of hours. Everyone from the porters to the nurses and phlebotomists were amazing, always willing to chat and make you feel included in their lives. My friends tell me the ward doctor was very attractive. I was a little busy being ill to really judge but I can vouch for my friends good tastes. I was impressed with the range of tests they gave me and very grateful that with the NHS I didn't have to pay for any of this. The food on the ward was, average at best however the canteen area was filled with choices and all of which looked delicious. I can recommend this hospital, especially because there is a therapy dog who comes to visit every day and there are lots of local groups who visit the elderly and palliative care patients to ensure that everyone has a visitor during the visiting hours. Whilst there wasn't a tv or a phone in my room the time was passed pleasantly. Ambulatory care is also a very welcoming place to visit as well as just a wonderful phrase to repeat. The staff take good care of you here. If you get truly bored you can always count the pictures of cats scattered around the hospital.

A few years ago I went to South America after saving enough money to visit a friend. It was a bit…read moreof an impulse decision and I suddenly found myself with very little time to organise everything. I was staying with a friend in London when I suddenly realised that I should be arranging vaccinations immediately (as some of them take a long time to work) and she suggested to me the Royal Free Travel Health Centre, and what an excellent recommendation it was! I spoke to the head of the department, Maria, who was really helpful and calming, telling me that I needn't panic and she could arrange to see me the next day to have a chat and get what I needed. Maria, an expert in the field, put me at ease, telling me in detail about what I needed for where I was going and what I could get for free on the Nhs (if I went to my doctor). She said it was important not to spend more money than I needed and so rather than get everything done with her I should arrange a separate Doctors appointment for the others. I felt she was absolutely there for her patients, gaining no commission and giving genuine help. I got the Yellow Fever Vaccine (which was £50) and Malaria tablets (which were £3.75 a day). The vaccine didn't hurt a bit, I in fact couldn't believe it was over when done! I chose the pricier malaria tablets over ones that cost 60p each, after a discussion about the differences between the two. Although there was a large price gap I trusted Marias experience based guidance that people prone to allergies and side effects were less likely to suffer with these ones. I left feeling happy, safe and confident about travelling and a clear idea of the next steps I needed to take. I would really recommend this place to anyone needing travel advice.
