I have had several somatic immersion sessions for PTSD related to an attack. Hamish's skill and compassion allowed me to slowly increase my capacity to be with uncomfortable memories with anxiety and to feel more free fully comfortable in my body in previously difficult situations. I am very grateful to him.
My first session with Hamish was fantastic. I could immediately sense that he was there for me, willing to work in a way that works for me. I've already made a couple breakthroughs I can take forward with me
Couples counselling: Hamish, we really appreciate you and the service you're offering us. We are so grateful that you are able to connect with and understand each of us, and help us to see, hear, and understand both ourselves and each other more deeply and fully. We both feel really connected, proud of our progress, and optimistic about our future together. Our relationship is certainly stronger for having done the work of exploration and sharing with you. Thank you so much!
Hamish brings a rare balance of deep presence, insight, and genuine warmth to his work. I felt truly seen—not just as a 'client', but as a human being. Hamish isn’t rigid or formulaic, and although I get a sense that he has strong codes of ethics, he works intuitively, offering space for genuine development. Sessions with Hamish never feel transactional—they feel like co-created spaces of trust and understanding. I’d recommend Hamish to anyone looking for depth, authenticity, and meaningful personal work. I’d trust him as a safe and accepting practitioner for survivors, neurodivergent and rainbow community members.
Working with Hamish has been a revelation for me. Through working with him I've learned to inhabit and feel more comfortable in my body, regardless of what I'm feeling. He has a deep intuitive sense of how best to guide you with whatever you're going through. This means I never feel rushed, or pressured to go to difficult places within myself. But when I'm ready for this, he's been able to guide me to some of the deepest states of relaxation and contentment I've experienced. From that place I've been able to feel into really difficult emotions and stories, and gradually start to heal and love them. His work has a sense of magic. Throughout the week I notice little positive changes in my behaviour or thinking. I'm not even trying to change consciously, but Hamish has helped my unconscious mind to feel safe enough to make changes that align with how I really want to show up in the world. Thank you Hamish for all that you do
Hamish's working methods, his insights into neuroscience and the mind and body, as well his ability to communicate ideas succinctly are brilliant. He has helped me in ways that has significantly improved my quality of life over a few sessions.
I have had multiple sessions from Hamish to get help with a trauma that caused by a motorbike accident when I was a teenager. However, at that point I had no idea about memory of the body and emotions that I had locked in my body, mainly it was on my injured leg. Hamish explained that how memory, sensation and emotions can effect on physical body. Hamish’s approach was very comfortable, Hamish is a good listener and fully understands body mind and emotional connection. There was safe space and that put me in to relaxation. Definitely, he has a healing hand and he is genuine, authentic and he has best interest of the clients. I would not be recovered by going to a specialist But I did recover by Hamish’s therapy and highly recommend his work and well worth it.
Hamish is a wonderfully warm-hearted, gifted and generous man, with a skill for putting others at ease. You don't find many men with the experience and self-understanding he possesses - easy to confide in and to place your trust - a skilful therapist with a passion for helping others to heal and become their better selves.
Hamish spent time listening to what was current in my emotional stream. He invited me to become conscious of my bodily sensations and to keep an awareness of these whilst continuing to explore the emotions. Almost imperceptibly the bodywork started. At all times I felt safe and so keen to be witnessed in my vulnerability. Hamish was intuitive in his touch. So, my sacroiliac pain referred, no doubt, from my reproductive structures, he met with massage in the lower abdomen. This triggered memories of dreams. I was relieved he had 'found' issues I hadn't been able to put words to. I experienced deep, familiar and old emotions. Hamish's variety of approach and touch put me into a state of sublime relaxation. As a GP, I recognize the potential his work has for many people. On a personal level, I cannot think of a better way to feel whole again.
I had three trauma-release massages with Hamish. His calm, respectful and welcoming attitude was truly helpful to make me feel at ease. Even if it was a sometimes disturbing experience at first, with loads of memories coming back from nowhere, I found it deeply healing, helping me to get emotionally in contact with parts of my body and releasing a lot of stress. Hightly recommended.
