I can't recommend Charles highly enough.A few weeks before a very important oral exam, I reached out for help with anxiety. Oral exams have always triggered intense physical symptoms for me (shaking, feeling sick, my mind going blank) and because I struggle with memory under pressure, I was worried I'd forget everything, especially knowing the exam was being video recorded.Despite the short notice, Charles made time for me. Over a few sessions he combined a range of approaches, including hypnotherapy, CBT and EMDR techniques, tailoring everything to what I needed. He is incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate and easy to talk to. I always felt heard, never judged.The difference on exam day was remarkable. I was naturally nervous, but the overwhelming physical anxiety I'd experienced for years simply wasn't there. I stayed calm, remembered the key details I needed, and left feeling confident I'd achieved a very good pass.After trying many different therapies for this issue over the years without lasting success, this was the first time I experienced such a significant shift. I'm genuinely so grateful, Charles.Thank you for your skill, kindness and support- it made a real difference!
