Anxiety & Panic Attack Feedback

My 13 yr old daughter is a keen runner and competes at County Level. Unfortunately, my daughter has experienced difficulties coping with the mental side of public competition.

We found it so distressing that she loved and gained so much from her sprint training but when she then competed she fell apart mentally. Her symptoms were ‘zoning out, sickness and general panic attacks. We had reached the stage where a decision had to be made….It was ‘all or nothing’.

I found Dan’s website and we went to him to see if their was anyway that he could help. To be perfectly honest I didn’t hold much hope as my daughter had got herself into a spiral which she seemed to automatically get into just before she competed.

Right from the start Dan was professional and as a runner himself understood her problem from both perspectives. Over three sessions Dan was able to re-programme her way of dealing with things. He also was able to provide her with practical coping strategies, things which she could do before she competed, thus breaking her negative thought pattern.

It is lovely to see my daughter now being ‘in control’ of her feelings. She finishes every race with a smile, regularly winning. She said to me: “Even though I still have some of the feelings just before I compete. They are good nerves and I can now control them and I am in charge”.

I cannot begin to thank Dan enough. The best thing is she can now use the lessons learnt in other areas of her life too. We intend to have a repeat session just before she competes next year in the summer Athletics season.

Dan’s helped me more than I ever dreamed possible! I started seeing him to increase confidence in my athletic abilities. Along the way, I soon realised that other things were holding me back and deeply affecting my ability to relax and enjoy life.

I’ve long harboured anxieties about medical situations and have avoided doctors, opticians and dentists for years – grimly accepting that it’s part of my character. Well, Dan soon sorted that – I’ve been to the optician for the first time in 20 years, have attended the dentist with minimal stress.

I am much more in control of my life and feel I can achieve anything I put my mind to. At first, I was a little apprehensive about hypnotherapy, but I don’t think I’ve ever felt so relaxed! It helps that Dan’s a great listener – even when I’ve felt unsure what I’m trying to say, he has a knack of picking out what’s important. He’s brilliantly intuitive and sessions with him are great fun. Highly recommended – make an appointment!

After suffering for months with anxiety and panic I contacted Dan which turned out to be the best desicion I have made.

Dan has turned my life around I can feel my confidence returning, I am enjoying my life again and can interact socially I thought I had lost all these things for ever. Dans an amazing young man and I cannot thank him enough for giving me my life back.

Dont suffer in silence contact Dan and be in control of your life again. It’s amazing!!

In April 2012 I suffered what I thought was a heart attack, it turned out to be a panic attack. From then on I was gripped with anxiety on most days to the point where I was starting to let the anxiety control my life. After numerous visits to the doctors I decided that it was time to start looking for some help elsewhere and was given Dan’s card.

Admittedly, I was somewhat sceptical but decided to give it a try. During our sessions Dan has helped me gradually take back control of my life. Do I still have anxiety…yes…. but Dan has taught me ways to cope and deal with it when it happens. I am now taking back control and life is a whole lot better for it. Many thanks Dan!!

Although I have suffered from anxiety issues from the age of 12, I had learnt to cope with them, over the years. I came to see Dan recently when I began to experience a severe drop in my ability to cope with my panic attacks. Taking public transport and having (and enjoying) meals with friends in restaurants were two of the main things I was struggling with, and were both things I desperately wanted to “take back”.

When I went to Dan the first time, I felt like a tightly wound ball of panic. He helped me to unwind myself, relax, breathe and take control again. His guidance and assurance have helped me to start taking my life back! I cannot recommend him highly enough!

I knew I needed help after being on antidepressants for about 3 years and not feeling ‘right’ for years. I wanted to take control of my life and not have it run on tablets and found Dan on the internet.

I have had to deal with quite a number of traumatic events over the years and my parents deaths affected me greatly, more than I realised.

I always say people have 2 faces, one for the world and for the home, because you’re laughing and joking doesn’t necessarily mean all is right with your life.

Dan has helped me so much that now I am able to let light into my life, literally. I have gained in confidence and can now go ahead and enjoy my life.

Thank you so much Dan.

In January, I suffered a panic attack. At the time I also hyperventilated and thought I was having a stroke. This left me feeling so afraid that another attack could happen at anytime. Going out of the house took so much effort as I kept worrying that I might have another episode while shopping at Tescos or any other mundane thing we normally take for granted.

I went to see a local doctor, who fortunately for me, could barely take her attention off of her computer screen and seemed not to care in the slightest how scared I was. She gave me a telephone number to call, a helpline of sorts. Not easy to do really if you can’t breath at the time.

I knew a hypnotherapist was in Newmarket and decided to email him. Dan responded to the email straight away and I was booked in. I had five sessions in total and feel like my old confident self again. Dan is such a good listener and made me feel equipped to never have panic attacks sneak up on me again.

I left each session looking forward to going out and living my life. I can’t say in words how grateful I am to Dan for this. I feel so fortunate that the doctor I mentioned at the beginning of this testimonial, was so unhelpful. As otherwise I may have been prescribed a lifetime of sedatives.

Dan has taught me how to enjoy my life again and be in control, for that I am truely grateful.

I went to see Dan after suffering anxiety and panic attacks following a horse riding accident. I’ve been riding the horses who used to cause me anxiety for well over a week now and all is going good. I feel much calmer and more confident. I would like to thank you for your help, it is much appreciated.

I saw Dan for six sessions and can honestly say he has really helped me, with things I suffered from for a long time and more recent feelings too. He is very easy to get on with and I felt at ease telling him anything. I would definitely recommend him and if I have any problems in the future wouldn’t hesitate in going back! So thank you Dan.

To be honest, I have never felt better. I now feel strong and able enough to put things into perspective.
