Last night with the Tube strike, I had to take 3 buses to get back home. The second bus I took was so crowded with so many angry and tired passengers wanting to get home! If I hadn't had the afternoon session with you, I would have left the bus after the first couple of minutes! The bus was driving slowly for at least 15 minutes before it stopped at a bus stop and the doors opened so we had a bit of fresh air! All the way through for about 35 minutes I was telling myself everything will be fine and nothing bad will happen and still there is oxygen for all of us! When I got to my stop and I got out of the bus, it felt good. Last night I had a good night sleep too.
Public transport anxiety, 2015 …Despite having wobbles every now and then I am generally a lot more positive. Using your techniques I have really managed to improve my habits and beliefs. …I would just like to thank you for all the help you have given me up to now, and the extra time and information you always provided me.
Work stress, 2014 I'm sending this email just to tell you that the recital yesterday went great!!!! I enjoyed a lot!! And everyone was saying that I looked confident, calm in control so I have to thank you for helping me in achieving my goals!! A big thank you!!
Musician’s performance anxiety, 2009 Since my sessions with you I've been down to Bournemouth 4 times, twice with another adult, once with just my kids and on Monday I went there and back in one day by myself.
I would say that my phobia has been sorted as I am not anxious prior to motorway journeys and or when I see the blue motorway signs. I'm indifferent when lorries are nearby and as for fly-overs I'm whizzing over them by the dozen. I do feel a lot more confident, perhaps not as confident as I was in my twenties when I spent the whole journey in the fast lane, but maybe that's a good thing.
Thank you for your help, I will certainly recommend you to any friends who I hear have phobias.
Motorway driving phobia, 2009 I am finding your sessions really useful - and feel a lot calmer in myself and more positive - also realising that as a human being I do have faults and bad points has helped to ground me a bit more.
I also helped a friend of mine - talking to her about assertive behaviour rather than aggressive behaviour… She told me the result had been amazing… I think explaining it to someone else has helped to reinforce it in my mind too!
Thanks again for all your support and help
Improving communication, 2009 I did do the exam and managed to pass with a distinction. I received my results only yesterday. I have taken some time out, although I did enrol on a maths course and sat an exam… although I actually don't remember consciously deciding to put myself through another exam after the trauma of the law one, I must have done because I found myself back at college again!
Somewhere in the back of my mind I felt that this was something that I really needed to put to bed and settle. In some small way, I do feel that I have managed to tie up some loose ends. I have also managed to find myself a job for a couple of days a week in a local law firm and have been putting what I have learnt so far into practice and also sitting in on court proceedings.
In the meantime, thank you for all your help so far. I will be sure to let you know how I get on!
Law exam anxiety, 2008 I just wanted to let you know that our sessions really helped and I just did my first public speaking event and loved it! I was too terrified to do this before and it was holding me back so thank you, thank you, thank you!
Public speaking, 2018 All your good work has not gone to waste. I have just got back from India! I went on my own and spent two weeks in Goa doing a chakra balancing and yoga workshop… Its been such a magical experience...so thank you so much. I am so amazed that i managed it all. I do still get anxious but I realise now that it is something i will get through and alot of it is habit. I also realised that I do not need my partner for my survival!!! Our relationship seems so much better now that I have found a new courage and strength in myself.
General fear and anxiety, 2005
