"Brian is very professional in his attitude but his manner is warm and friendly and he immediately puts you at your ease. I consulted Brian regarding a phobia I had suffered from since childhood and which was affecting my everyday life. Previous attempts to overcome this had been unsuccessful and only the realisation that it was also having a detrimental effect on me physically made me seek further help. He used various techniques to dispel my phobia and the result has been that my previous response of fear has now turned into curiosity. I have also noticed a significant reduction in levels of anxiety affecting other areas of my life. Basically, what he does works. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who feels that they need help in order to move forward in their lives." DT, May 2008
"I've had a phobia of cats for at least 10 years, being in close proximity to a cat would cause my heart rate to increase dramatically and I would become tense and very anxious. After a particularly stressful summer I decided to confront my fears and seek some help. I found Brian, to be extremely helpful, the preliminary meeting before the sessions helped put my mind at ease and was an opportunity to ask questions about the use of NLP in overcoming phobias. The sessions were great and I learnt techniques which can be applied to other areas such as anxiety etc. After just two sessions the intense fear has gone and I feel calm and confident when around cats - a huge breakthrough." - D.J. 2006
"My new motto is "I'm not scared"!! I don't know how many times I've said it today, but it's a great feeling to be able to concentrate on achieving new stuff, rather than feeling screwed up about being scared...you had a great way of explaining things and a real no nonsense approach that made it really fun to do, as well as getting the desired effect. None of us could get over the way you changed the way we felt so dramatically in just 2 hours! Thanks a lot for doing it and making it fun. I hope our paths cross again in the future and I will certainly recommend the course" Alison B. Management Consultant, 2008
"I want to thank you again for an excellent weekend. I actually had quite a lump in my throat on Sunday evening on thinking that I wouldn't see that group again, as we'd all been through a unique and powerful experience. I think your and Brian's course is brilliant and on Sunday in particular I felt full of confidence and now can't wait to do more. Which is a good job, as I'm booked on a via ferrata holiday in July in the Dolomites (part of the reason I wanted to do this course!)" Stephen N. April 2009
I have treated clients individually and in groups for their fear of heights and have been running a unique course in the Peak District for three years, for clients with this fear. I work with clients in the morning and in the afternoon their "cure" is tested when they are taught abseiling and climbing by my colleague, professionally qualified climber, Will Legon. This is the first time such a course has been run anywhere and so far we have had 100% success. You can see video footage of some recent, exhilirated, particpants at YouTube and hear their comments about the course. Please remember, as you watch the video, that these people were absolutely terrified of heights before the course.
