"Thank you so much for the session on Stress Management you ran for our staff.
Your approach was professional yet friendly which immediately made us feel relaxed.
We deal with pupils with Emotional and Behavioural issues on a daily basis and it was refreshing to focus on ourselves.
The strategies you shared have become part of our daily practice. Diaphramatical breathing at the staff de-briefing is compulsory!!
We have learnt to share our own feelings more with each other and recognise when WE as well as our pupils need time out.
The feedback from the staff has been very positive and I would like to share with you some of the comments my made about the session:

'' It made me think more about the emotional and psychological well being of my staff. They work so hard and as a manager I now recognise that time invested in my team helps promote a positive and more effective workforce''
NJ (Head of Centre)

'' It helped me realise the importance of reflection at the end of the day''
LS (Teacher)

'' I now feel empowered to leave my workday at work and don't take the problems home with me’’
CP (Teaching Assistant)

'' I found the session relaxing and it amazed me how I managed to focus on myself. I forgot about any problems I have’’
JS (Teaching Assistant)

''I was surprised as I usually I feel I am a strong person, in control of my emotions. Nick has given me the ability to address suppressed issues, I thought I had dealt with – enlightening!!''
MR (Teacher)

''I found his relaxation techniques outstanding as I felt it was something that I would not be able to engage with – I am normally sceptical about these sorts of processes'' NS (Teaching Assistant)

Thank you again and we will definitely book another session in the near future

Kind Regards"
Noreen Jordan (Head) Wyken Extended Learning Centre - Coventry

"Hello Nick, Thank you very much for giving up your time to come into school. The course was much appreciated by all who attended; everyone said what good fun it was and how relaxed they felt afterwards. Thank you again."
Myton School - Warwick

"Hi Nick,Thank you for attending as a guest speaker at City College Coventry. The students were full of questions and the discussion continued long after you had gone. I have passed your leaflet to a friend as I thought you may be able to help with her grandson. It was a pleasure to meet you."
City College - Coventry

"Nick is friendly and enthusiastic and explained clearly and confidently the techniques we would use. The combination of conscious and subconscious methods really helped me to lose my fear of public speaking. If you need to reduce your fear of public speaking for work or social occasions I thoroughly recommend Nick as a therapist"

"I found my sessions to be extremely beneficial to my own personal development. It was a comfortable environment and this helped the atmosphere of the sessions. The broad range of skills and techniques employed achieved the results I desired and the exercises I was taught will continue to benefit me in my daily life.

I have been complimented on a number of occasions on my renewed confidence and this I attribute to the success of the sessions."
Kieron Swords - Confidence 

"From the first telephone call with Nick you know he is a genuine guy with a great desire to help people. What you learn when you meet and talk with him is that he is also very good at what he does, very knowledgeable, and has fantastic people skills.
 
Over the years I have tried every diet going and whilst I can lose weight initially, I could never sustain it. I can do most things I set my mind to, don't let obstacles get in my way, am a strong character, but I could not control my weight. It controlled me! In 4 easy, comfortable sessions with Nick I understood the roote cause of my problem and how to get the balance back. Having the magical gastric band was the final step, and it worked immediately. I went home after my final session and ate less than half of my usual portion of dinner and that is how it has been ever since. I can eat what I want, there are no banned foods and can even have just one biscuit and be satisfied.
 
Just 2 months later I am already feeling much healthier and well over a stone slimmer. It has been no effort so far either, I just listen to my body and stop eating when I am full, although in the beginning it was strange feeling full so quickly."
Lorraine - Weight Loss & Hypnotic Gastric Band

"Just like to say you made me open up talk about things I put to the back of my mind, didn't want to address them made me feel better about myself also my partner Sue too. You were so easy to talk to good at your job. I am now able to talk more open now, we talk about more things now we have seen you. Thank you for all you have done.!
William Poynton - Stress Management and Tinnitus

"After having my second child, life became a struggle and the pressure of being a mum of two took its toll. I took advantage of the free consultation where I met Nick, I was put at ease straight away which helped me to be even more determined to make positive changes. Throughout my sessions I felt comfortable and relaxed and started to enjoy the experience. I realised how much pain I was in before. My outlook on life has improved dramatically and I am a stronger person. The techniques I have learnt will help me deal with challenges ahead and will stay with me for life. I can now enjoy a bright future for myself and my children. Nick is a true inspiration to the human race. It was a pleasure to work with him."
Gemma Harper - Post Natal Depression, Anxiety and Stress

"I paid heed to your comments and although my personal life was in tough times, I relocated my job and now work with fantastic people where every day feels like a breath of fresh air compared to before. Thanks for helping me see the wood for the trees Nick!"
Richard Palfrey - Stress Management

"I found the service provided to me was of the highest standard and I am very pleased with the outcome and would recommend Nick's services to anyone. Thank you!"
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder - Client asked to remain anonymous

"My sessions with yourself were excellent, you broke everything down for me, made it really easy to understand where and why I was going wrong. It's helped me get back on track, my whole outlook on life and people has changed for the better. I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart, you have performed a miracle!!!!"
Leigh Reader - Anger and Frustration

"We enlisted Nick's professional help at a time when my husband had just been diagnosed with cancer. Nick helped us both tremendously with our individual needs. He equipped my husband with the tools to positively support and he involved him in his own recovery. He helped me specifically in dealing with my own emotions and outside influences.
An invaluable support that we would thoroughly recommend."
Client asked to remain anonymous

"Dear Nick, Your perception of our problems and your words of wisdom have been invaluable to us all. Thank you so very much.
Julie Rawles - Dealing with Serious Family Illness

"When I came to Nick I was confused and anxious and was eager to change my life but didn't know how to.
Now I feel focused, in control, able to plan for the future but can still enjoy 'the here and now'.
I now believe in myself and feel happier with who I am.
This self belief has given me the drive to apply for promoted posts in my career without the worry of rejection.
Family and friends have commented on how relaxed and happier I look. Life knocks no longer get me down!"
Client asked to remain anonymous

"Nick, You might not remember but when I first came to see you 2 years ago you got me to play a movie in my head. I chose for it to be me walking across the stage at Warwick Uni to collect my PhD. This afternoon it finally happened."
Client asked to remain anonymous

"Nick was very professional, understanding and experienced. He worked efficiently and gave me a valuable boost when I needed it. His techniques will be very helpful in the future."
Client asked to remain anonymous

"Nick Davies is a real people person doing a job he loves to help others, which really shows in his treatment. The therapy I received has made a marked difference in my life for the better.
Confidence has grown, self assurance & positive outlooks on life, work & personal issues.
I would reccomend anyone to try Nicks style of therapy & see what a difference it could make to you life."
Sean Macconnamara - Stress & Depression

"I have worked with Nick on my issues with confidence & anxiety. Before I saw Nick I was feeling very low in myself & suffering from panic & anxiety frequently. After a few sessions working on these issues i'm feeling much more confident & I have learnt how to deal with the anxiety. I am happier in myself & have booked to work abroad as a volunteer next year. This is something I would never have considered before working with Nick. I would recommend this therapy to anybody."
Lauren Graham - Confidence & Anxiety

"At the start I felt like I had to many issues for Nick to be able to help me, but now I feel like a weight has been taken off my shoulders. Now looking forward to my very bright and positive future as a professional make up artist"
Sam Lee - Stress Management & Life Coaching

"It was like been with a friend. Without losing site or why we were both there. Many thanks for all your help and suggestions Nick. I'll be in touch again I'm sure."
Paul Meredith - Hypnotherapy & Life Coaching

"The work with Nick has been invaluble, he helped me come to terms with the difficulties I was having, helping me to assess my life and move forward. He has great insight and is able to read my body language so well. Without Nicks help I would still be struggling to move on, now I can plan for the future.
He is very professional and makes you feel very comfortable and relaxed."
Caroline Hart - Life Coaching & Hypnotherapy

"I went to see Nick for help with weight loss which I found was excellent. He made it very easy to talk & was quick in finding the root of the problem. His advice & guidance has helped me to see that there is a way to get out of a rut & tackle the demons which have caused me to be overweight. The sessions are not a quick fix & Nick cannot wave a magic wand to say you will lose weight, it's learning about being happy & confident with yourself & working towards a better future & positive outcome. Thank you Nick!"
Client asked to remain anonymous - Weight Loss

"I have been a smoker for over 15 years. I have had my session with Nick and I have not even thought about a cigarette. Fantastic!"
Michael Cox - Stopped Smoking

"Nick gave me an outside view on my life. Sometimes you need an independant person to look in. I came away from my course with Nick feeling much happier and confident. I have mad changes to my life that now means I live life to the max. That wouldn't have happened without Nick. Thanks Nick!"
Steph Spencer-Willis - Life Coaching

"For one reason or another I had found myself in a dark space, a forest without a direction out. People would say "get a grip", "it's a choice", "snap out of it". The more I tried, the more conscious I became that I was not making progress, and then further frustration and depression would creep in. That downward feeling would then get a step lower. It is at quite a low point out that I took a "risk" and contacted Nick Davies and sought some counselling/coaching (even though I was somewhat sceptical).

Following my sessions on, the difference in me has been remarkable. Any cynism was ill-founded as I have started to enjoy myself and have fun, feelings I have not had for some time time. I am getting on better with myself and life in general. My friends and family can see that I have "snapped out of it" and to them it's almost by magic. I now have a better relationship with them. I feel that I am out of the woods. Most importantly, Nick has been able to instill in me the vital tools that will hold me in good stead for my future, a future that I can explore now with confidence and positive thoughts and limiting the feeling of fear or being stuck.

I can spend vast amounts of money on treats for myself whether it's a nice meal, new pair of shoes or a night out which can make me feel good for a while. For me, the relatively small amount of money paid to invest in myself with Nick's help has been worth every penny (max 12 sessions). This investment is permenant and keeps paying dividends for me even after the sessions. Nick is interested in moving his clients forward and his dedication in helping make a difference to his clients is inspiring."
Client asked to remain anonymous - Depression

"I was recommended to Nick by a close personal friend. Nick has a caring professional approach to his work which comes over in his sessions. He makes you feel comfortable and approachable.
During the time I have spent with him, he has been able to give me back my confidence to look to the future both in my workplace and family life. Many thanks Nick."
Sue - Self Esteem and Confidence Building

"This is one of the best things I have done to alter my life, I now feel wonderful. It has changed my life, I am looking forward to the future, I am so relaxed. My treatment has been excellent, thank you Nick you have helped me so much."
J. Cowming - Stress Management

"Happy New Year, Nick. I can't remember the last time I was so excited about the start of a new year - there are so many wonderful things that are going to happen for me in 2009. I know that part of the reason I am so optimistic is the help you've given me over the last year, so thankyou.
Since I saw you last, I lost about a stone in weight - all very easy; no effort at all."
Mary - Weight Control and Life Coaching

"Nick has helped me with many things. When I fist met Nick I had no direction in life, and very little confidence. I am now very focused on a new career and I have a lot more confidence in everything I do.
Nick also hypnotised me to stop smoking, I have not smoked since and it has been over 4 months.
I would recommend Nick to anybody. He is approachable, calm and makes people feel at ease instantly.
He is very honest and passionate about everything that he does. when asked for help, he makes it his priority to do all he can.
He is truely inspirational."
Donna W - Stopped Smoking and Confidence

"When we came to see you with our young daughter we were a bit doubtful that things could change, her behaviour had gone on for many years. We had also had counselling with her for 16 months - two hours per week and no change. Coming to see you Nick has been wonderful for us all, she is so much more happy and relaxed and so are we. Thank you for everything, I would recommend you to my friends."
Karen and Jed King - Anxiety and OCD

"Before I met Nick, I was sceptical of personal development, hypnotherapy and Life Coaching through naivety and lack of information. I have worked with Nick in a Life Coaching / Hypnotherapy capacity and found it extremely beneficial. He has proved himself as a skilled practitioner helping me personally develop and providing support through this change. The only thing you need in order to progress is a willingness to be honest with yourself and Nick can assist you in any problems. I’d recommend him without hesitation to anyone who wants to personally develop or make a change. Nick has helped me immensely and I’m glad I’ve had the pleasure to work with him. Long may it continue!"
Oliver W – Life Coaching / Personal Development

"I felt you were very quick to get to the underlying "gist" of what was going on - after things you said after listening for 5 minutes were things that came as an epiphany after 2hrs of C.B.T....I noticed immediate positive effects...also email feedback and support after the sessions were over were very much appreciated and useful."
Client asked to remain anonymous - Anxiety and Depression Issues

Nick has a good understanding of people and there needs also is always striving to improve his knowledge.
Nicks manner can put people as ease very quickly. Nick is are very honest with people about what can be achieved and not out to just grab the money.
He constantly sets new goals in life so he can prove to people that you can do anything if you want to, a good example to everyone who believes in themselves.
I found Nick very committed and passionate about his job and in helping others with the difficulties they may be facing in life even if they don't really understand what has happen themselves,Nick explains everything in human terms.
Adam - Life Coaching

The (Technique 1) exercise learnt has helped me a lot as I used it every day leading up to my last fight. He had won a Gold medal in the Canadian championships meaning he was the best in Canada for his age and weight. I have never won anything other than a midlands title so i had that to worry about. Also people that normally box for their country have had more experience than me...three days after i beat him he went on to beat the National champion of England. The positive affirmations you told me to keep telling myself worked well as I felt more confident, for example I kept telling myself ‘I will win’ and I did! (Technique 2) – I used this on the day of my last contest to see if it would help calm my nerves. As it happens I felt the most relaxed I have ever felt before a contest. My heart rate was low when the doctor checked. I did it all the way until I was in the ring.
Charles Delve - (79kgs Light Heavyweight Droitwich ABC) after his victory for England against Canada 22nd February 2008

"I first went to see Nick to gain confidence to deal with a situation in my life that was becoming increasingly difficult. I can honestly say without the help, advice and support he has given me my life would be unbearable. In only a matter of weeks my life has changed dramatically to the point where I am now in control of my own life, something that has been lacking for the last 20 years. I am now looking forward to a whole new way of life. Nick always makes you feel comfortable and relaxed and you can tell that when he says that he wants to help he genuinely means it. Thanks Nick!"
Naomi - Confidence and Relationship Issues 

"Nick has always offered good common sense advice, he has a natural knack of being able to inspire people and make them believe in themselves. He has showed me how I can learn to be confident and work through my fears to do anything I want to do."
Gail Houghton - Career and Confidence

"I was very apprehensive about going to Nick and receiving this sort of treatment for my stress related 'problems'. But after a course of treatment by Nick my confidence was fully restored. I looked forward to my profession again; I was able to plan my days work (both business and home activities; was more assertive when required and generally felt better/fitter and able to live life to the full. All this was down to Nick's skills."
Client asked to remain anonymous - Stress Related Issues

"I felt relaxed straight away and felt rapport came easy...really enjoyed the board, explaining things and helping us refer back...very useful , loads of useful tips that I can now use. I feel Nick Davies has helped myself and my team of instructors to raise their level of interaction with their students to make the student and the instructor to feel more comfortable."
Glenn Smith - Owner Red Corner Gym Coventry

"My time spent with Nick was definately worth it, I have gained some new skills that I can apply in lots of aspects in my life. I will in the future use Nick again to progess myself."
Adam Cowming - Improved learning/Exam Nerves

"You are so relaxed and make it easy to understand which is very beneficial for the people who are apprehensive...it is going really good and we have a nice bit of humour in there aswell which is always a bonus...you are very professional and conduct yourself well...I rated the skills very good because it makes me so much more aware of myself and others and can spill over into so many areas of my life...Excellent, you really are on top of your game in my opinion, I was expecting it to be complicated but you made it so straightforward."
Danny Galloghly - Red Corner Gym Coventry
