45 year old woman presented with anxiety, insomnia. In the space of 3 weeks, she was able to get back to paid work, go out more and have a more positive, calmer outlook on life. In her words,
I came to you with the problem of anxiety, which in turn caused problems with my sleep. I found working with you a real joy. You are really professional, and have some great ways of getting to the root cause of a problem. The sessions helped with my sleep and only in session 2, the root cause for my anxiety came out. It was a powerful session, but very enlightening. What really impressed me about you was that you are not in it for the money, as you could have easily said i needed lots fo sessions, you reassured me that you would be there if i needed you again. I am now back to work in a paid job and life is good. Many thanks for your help.

Anxiety and presentation nerves
40 year old man with a history of anxiety over the last few years. It manifested itself in meetings at work, leaving him with rising panic and light headedness. He tried many of the self books, audio recordings, and DVDS from some of the most well known hypnotherapists to no avail. In the space of a month he was more positive and confident, delivering presentations to larger groups and starting a new job. In his words:
Past
I had suffered with anxiety for about 7 or 8 years prior to meeting Umesh. Every aspect of my life was in order, I was completely confident in everything I did. It was only in large meetings at work when the problem used to materialis, I used to become very self-conscious and I would have difficulty getting my point across in front of a group of 6 or 7 people, in fact I would rather stay quiet as I was in fear of not being able to get the words out, I even believed I might faint. When I was younger and I had to stand up in front of a few people to present or say anything, I would feel low levels of nervousness, but as I got older the level of nervousness had multiplied, I did not know why, but it was now harming my development at work.
Working with Umesh
From the very first meeting with Umesh I knew I had found the answer. The first stage was for Umesh to understand me, and everything about my problem. He then explained in simple terms why this happening and how we would defeat it - forever. I soon realised he knew what he was talking about and that this problem was not new to him. Apart from-being extremely approachable, I got the impression he wasn't doing this for the money and that he really was interested in getting this thing sorted as much as I was. He did not want to drag this out and believed it could be sorted quickly. I think Umesh enjoys his work and he enjoys helping others. The programme was direct and powerful.
The changes
The changes were noticeable after just 2 or 3 sessions. Umesh taught me some techniques that I will have with me forever for so many situations. I can't put into words my relief, joy and appreciation this has brought to me. Most of all I am amazed at the speed in which I have turned this thing around. After suffering this problem for so many years I just wish I would have met Umesh many years ago - who knows where I might now be in my career.

Anxiety
63 year old lady presented with deep seated anxiety. Evidence of it for most of her life.
"I just wanted to say how much i have appreciated the therapy you have given me, and how beneficial it has been. I am confident that i will continue to progress as i feel motivated and equipped to handle the challenge. Generally i feel more positive and peaceful with a sense of acceptance and tolerance. Finding my 'inner child' was an amazing and releasing. It was beneficial as there was so much to learn about myself.

Anxiety
I called Umesh back in August as i was sufferring with severe anxiety issues, I was unable to go out of the house without being terrified and scared, i was constantly on edge and fidgeting i felt the lowest of the low, I had been to 2 different counsellors with no real help, i had seen my previous counsellor for 8 months and still felt just as bad, i looked on the internet and found Umesh, at first i was a bit worried about if it would work or not.
I sent Umesh an email and that same night he called me and we had about a 30 min chat on the phone, i felt really at ease speaking to Umesh and he also really reassured me. My first meeting with Umesh was scary for me but no sooner did i get into his room i felt at ease, we had a long chat about how i was feeling and then he got to work. When i first saw Umesh i was a wreck, i couldnt sit still and felt awful and after jst 3 months i feel on top of the world, he gave me very useful tools to use at home to help me.
This time 3 months ago i would never have dreamed of having a night out with my friends and now im loving it, everyone has noticed the huge change in me im like a different person. All i can really say is Umesh has helped me incredibly and changed my thinking which i didnt think was possible. If you suffer with anxiety then Umesh is the person for you, i suffered a good few years of feeling grim, when in reality i didnt need to if i had called Umesh.
