Years of trauma removed, I work in the emergency services, I been trying to deal with a history of work related trauma’s over the last 10 years, never been off work, but a constant battle with my mental health and very high anxieties, self doubt and low confidence, I knew I needed some help, looked on Web and found Craig’s page, here iam 2 months later and so much improvements, coping much better and stressing less, my overthinking reduced,

I can’t believe my trauma is gone, I served in RAF and currently as a Paramedic, I knew I had trauma and CPTSD from my occupations, my sleep was terrible, constantly in state of defence, my anxieties running at high level, dark thoughts, lacking confidence and zero motivation, I thought that this was just how it was for me, a work friend had been to see Craig and couldn’t recommend him enough, exstremly adimant go to Craig; so I made that first call, didn’t know what to exspect, I chatted with Craig on the phone for about 10 minutes and booked my initial session, from that I had 12 sessions of Emdr therapy with Craig, I was feeling benefits after first couple of sessions, it just kept improving, constantly moving forward, I’m in such a different place now, I now realise how bad I was,
Thanks Craig
You are the “ Trauma Guy “ thank you so much, Matthew

After three and a half years of my daughter battling anxiety and OCD due to bullying at school, we now have our daughter back. With no help from the school and youth services we were at our wits end. Our daughter had gone from a bubbly young girl to a girl who never left the house, cried for hours on end and couldn’t see a way out. That’s when we found Craig through a friend, thanks goodness we did. Right from the start Craig made us feel that all was not lost, he reassured our daughter that he could help her turn her life around. She had 12 sessions and the change has been amazing, her anxiety levels came down slowly after each session, her OCD has calmed down too, so much so that she has managed to have a night away in London, meet old friends and best of all get a part time job. I never thought her life would turn around and the sparkle would be there again. I would 100% recommend Craig, don’t hesitate get help with your mental health now.

I had terrible trauma & anxieties, finding life very difficult, struggling to keep control of myself, my mind racing and trouble thinking straight, feeling very pressured, I could’ve see an answer, then a friend told me about Craig, she had been to see him and couldn’t recommend him enough, I had 12 sessions of emdr with Craig and I feel in a much better place now, life moving forward. Feel positive for the future.
Thanks Craig

I was assessed as having Long-Covid, I had been a very active person before getting Covid November time last year, my own symptoms continued longer than would be expected, I was constantly tired and very emotional, Craig helped me deal with the changes covid have left me with, helped me with motivation and gaining more positive thoughts

I had high level Trauma & CPTSD and was advised by my GP to contact Craig, I was told I needed Emdr therapy by my GP, I met with Craig and he listened & explained everything, he truly understood how I was feeling, he explained the method of Emdr and the high results he is achieving, he answered all my questions, I remember feeling better after just the initial session know someone understood and said he could help, I went on to have 12 sessions of emdr with Craig , I started gaining noticeably improvement after about the 3rd session and it rocketed from there, my trauma symptoms are about a quarter of what they were, totally amazing guy

I saw Craig a couple of years back whilst going through a very traumatic time with a now ex (thanks to Craig making me believe in myself to have the courage to walk away)!

Simply The Best …
I had extremely high anxieties, my OCD was causing me not to sleep, constant thoughts in my head of how bad I was and useless I felt, my confidence rock bottom, I was given Craig’s number by a friend, his brother had been to him, he had helped him, Craig understood straight away, explained why I had the feelings I had and how he could help me, in just 12 weeks everything has changed, I feel so good, moving forward with confidence.

Craig has, quite literally, changed my life. I have known for a number of years, that I had to face up to traumas from my childhood, but felt terrified of opening a can of worms, that I would be unable to cope with. I cannot stress enough, how making that first step to seeking help, isn't one that should frighten you. From our first session, Craig made me feel at ease and safe. I had no doubt in my mind from that point, that I could trust him to help me. I have just finished two blocks of EMDR therapy, which I had never heard of before. I had suffered with panic attacks and crippling anxiety through most of my adult life. I can't fully explain it, other that to say I have never felt so calm and content. I feel like I can start my life again with a positivity that I had completely lost. I cannot recommend Craig highly enough to anyone who needs help. Thanks Craig

Craig saved my life, i would not be here if i hadn,t talked to craig, i didnt want to be here, my thoughts soo dark, convinced myself everyone would be better off without me, i had a loving family i just could not see it, my mind and thoughts a complete mess, Craig saved me from myself, Great counsellor, would recommend him to everyone,

i thought i could not be helped, i had suffered with high anxiety and extreme low confidence all my life, once i talked to Craig he explained about my symptoms and trauma i had held since a small boy, i had problems all though school, these continued though my life till now, im 55 years old and finally feel free, AMAZING THERAPIST

My son was struggling with his anxieties, he wasn’t attending school and unable to express himself, we were very fearful and concerned for him, he had spoken about hurting himself and the dark thoughts he was having, the pain and guilt he felt, a friend at work had taken her daughter to see Craig and he had help her, we went to see Craig, he listened and understood how my son was feeling, explained why and how he could help, I saw such a relief in my son’s face know he was understood and had hope, Craig worked with my son for about 2 months and we saw improvements after improvements, he is smiling now and feeling positive,
Thank so much,

Old trauma still effecting my life, I couldn’t understand why I felt how I did and why I struggled with making decisions, my level of concentration was so poor, struggled to complete simple tasks, a friend suggested I spoke to Craig, I knew I had experienced trauma but never knew it was still effecting and controlling me, I had 12 sessions of Emdr therapy with Craig and so much has changed, new positive thoughts, a positive view of my own future, before I was so negative about everything, I now know I can move forward with confidence and feeling proud of myself, never thought I would ever feel Proud of ME,
Thanks Craig,
You have changed my life !

I had lost my Son and I simply couldn’t cope or move forward, I was constantly in tears, Craig seamed to understand straight away, he explained how bereavement effects you and the process we go though with bereavement, I felt better from that first session, amazing counsellor, he told me that I was aloud to have my feelings and to let myself have them, I just felt as if it was released, we used emdr to help move the held trauma from the events when I lost my Son, in just 6 weeks so much had changed, I still miss my Son terribly but I haven’t got the constant hurt anymore,
thanks Craig you are a life saver !

I was completely lost, my anxieties and worries were so high, I didn’t know where to turn, I had seen my GP but was placed on a waiting list, a friend said to call Craig so I did, I told him how I felt and he just listened and understood, explained how he could help me and a few weeks later I’m feeling improvement already and know I’m on a much better road,

Craig saved my live, I don’t say that I mean it, if I hadn’t of met Craig i wouldn’t be here now, I was in such a dark place, I felt so low, I had thoughts of taking my own life daily, I had planned it and it was going to happen, when people talk about fate and not being your time to go, now I see it, I met Craig by chance, I was walking by his practice and he was outside watering plants, I stopped and was reading his signs, he saw me and just said “ you okay there mate” and I started to tell him how I felt, I had never spoken like that before, totally Amazing, still don’t know how he did it, I’m such a private person, once he explained how he could help me it was as if a Huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders, over about 2 months I attended sessions with Craig and with each session things improved, I regained my direction, the dark thoughts reduced, my anxieties reduced and now I’m moving forward, as Craig says “ Always Forward “, We Address the Past To Move Forward.

Totally Amazing Trauma Therapist
Thank You Craig

Desperate to find someone who could help me and at the point of giving up I found Craig. I went to Craig suffering with old and new trauma, at the time I was living a life of fear, shame and anxiety.

From the moment I met Craig a sense of relief happened knowing that this was a man with the knowledge that could help me. I underwent a block of EMDR sessions. At the start I was desperate for change but told myself that it was probably just a load of hocus pocus and nothing would change, oh boy I was wrong. I stand today, corrected and happy. Life is better. I am OKAY.

Additional notes -

Craig's therapy studio is beautiful, relaxing and a place you end up not wanting to leave.

Craig himself is a pleasure to know.

I never once felt uncomfortable and was always made to feel safe, understood and relaxed.

I would highly recommend anyone that's reading this review to give Craig a call. To stop putting off therapy, stop making excuses and jump right in. I promise you'll never regret it.

I contacted Craig because of my trauma and Ocd, I just couldn’t think straight, my head all foggy, couldn’t get organised, my sleep disrupted, my Ocd getting worst, I needed help, I had been told he was good, my uncle had been to see him and just said go to him and he will help you, just 5 weeks later, so much has changed, I didn’t realise how my past trauma was effecting me, causing my Ocd, Sleep issues and constant disruptive thoughts, I feel so much better now,

I was given Craig’s number when I experienced some very Dark thoughts, if I hadn’t of called him I wouldn’t be here, he changed my whole direction and changed my thoughts, I wasn’t just thinking about ending my life, I had planned it and when,
After talking with him I knew there was a choice and now I realise how lucky I was and I’m never going again, thanks Craig

I was given Craig’s number by a work friend who had been to him with her Ocd and Anxieties, she said he was the best and gains brilliant results, he had help her greatly, changing so much for her, I called him, I was soo nervous, then a soft voice answered, I explained how I was feeling, he just knew and understood what I was saying, explained why I was experiencing these feelings, I went on to have Emdr therapy with Craig, the changes were so fast, I expected it to take months of counselling, things were changing and shifting from the second session, I had 12 sessions of Emdr with Craig working on two different events in my life, it has made such a difference to me, my Ocd reduced by about 70%, my Anxiety lowered dramatically, I would recommend Craig to anybody and often do,

I came to Craig with very anxieties, my social anxiety and anxieties linked to Covid, I couldn’t stop worrying, my sleep was awful, felt tired all the time, had lost all motivation, gained about 3 stone though lockdown, really felt low, had a initial appointment, talked though my feels, I felt more motivated from that first met, improvements followed quickly, the weigh came off steadily, my mood improved, my anxieties improved week on week,

Craig is an excellent therapist

I’m not much of a writer but Craig deserves this.
I’m a mans man. Brought up tough and thought never to speak up or feel.
This has impacted my adult relationships and I’ve lost some very important people through stubbornness, the inability to care and love.
This left me lonely, guarded and angry.
The strong, fun guy persona I came across as was totally different to what was.
Truth is I didn’t want to be here. I was numb.
Started seeing Craig and together we have totally changed everything.
How did I never see my worth before. How did I never value these special people in my life that where so important to me.
I know live a full life. My friends are amazed and excited about the real person I am becoming and I am excited about my future.
Thankyou for all you help Craig.
Top guy??

I’ve had trauma most of my life, started in childhood, abusive parents that simply didn’t care, neglect and abandonment, I thought both could be done, then I was talking with a work friend and he told me he had seen a therapist called Craig and he had help him, I went to Craig in a state disappear, I had emdr with Craig and I felt changed in weeks, things just seamed easier, we work though my trauma and now my Ocd, invasive thoughts and anxiety is reduced,

I called Craig as suggested by a friend, he had visited Craig when he was struggling with his anxiety and having dark thoughts so I called, I was nervous, didn’t know what to expect, never called a therapist before, what a nice guy, the chat on phone felt to comfortable, we arranged an initial session, he listen, I thought I wouldn’t know what to say but it all flowed out so easy, very clever guy, really understands people and how to make you open-up, I continue with Craig offering me support counselling and feel my anxieties lowering in a constant natural way,

I couldn’t stop worrying, everything seaming to be going wrong, I was so frightened and scared, couldn’t go out of my house without major anxieties, I was given Craig’s number by a friend, we talked about my fears and explained how the therapy works, I couldn’t believe it would work so well, I feel so much better than before, in 2 months my life has changed from a person that couldn’t go out to someone that is looking forward and planning a future,

I came to Craig with Ocd, Invasive thoughts and high triggering due to trauma in my youth, I didn’t think anything would ever change for me, then I met Craig, he explained that my symptoms and triggers relate directly to my past trauma and if using emdr we addressed the trauma this would lower my Ocd, thoughts and reduce my triggers, he explained it all fully and put my mind at rest, after 12 sessions of emdr my Ocd, my Invasive thoughts and triggers are soo much lower,

Craig has helped me so much, my interactions with my nearest and dearest are much better, no longer do I seem to react so quickly and so over the top to the things that happen around me, I suppose you could say that Craig has given me the skills I need to be a better person I can't thank him enough

I feel so much better, sleeping better, my thoughts improved, my anxiety much lower and than before. A huge change in just 6 weeks,

I came to Craig as my anxieties were extremely high, just couldn’t think straight,
I had Emdr therapy with Craig, could feel myself get improvements with every session,

A wonderful review by a client ,

We had many issues & problems to work though , she was so brave , it's heart breaking to hear the things people have been though in their lives , you just have to be there , give them the opportunity to have a voice & be heard .

Craig

Having Therapy with Craig has changed my life.
I was sexually abused as a child until I was 15 years old by my step-dad. I was threatened not to say anything or my family would be killed. My mum died of cancer when I was 17years old and confessed that she knew what was happening. This was when I went from being pretty messed up to total pushing the self destruct button.
It completely destroyed me.
I tried numerous attempts to ends my life, drank and partied to much. Slept around with no thought to my health or safety. Didn’t work, just considered myself worthless.
Didn’t care about anything or anyone.
I went with a friend to go a get her nails done and met Emma. For some reason I felt safe to tell her my story and she listened with no judgement.
After a while Emma said she had someone she wanted me to meet. It was her partner Craig a Therapist.
I met him a week later a just talked about everything that had happened. Such a relief.
We discussed a plan to move forward with his help.
I had been on the waiting list to see a Therapist for 18months with the NHS but nothing had happened.
I decided to use the money that my mum have left me to find my treatment. Had not wanted to touch it before but needed to do this.

This was a year ago and I am pleased to say that I am now in a much happier place. Totally different person.
I now run my own business, my temper is controlled, I go to the gym, look after myself and best of all I’m in a fully committed relationship with a man that adores me.

It’s never to late to change and be happy

I came to Craig with high anxiety and depression, he explained how Emdr Therapy and how it works, I was sold, he has so much confidence in how the therapy works and the results it can produce, as he said by session 2 I was feeling different, anxieties lower, my mood positive and wanting to do, I wish I had Emdr years ago, it’s like a reset of your mind, thanks Craig

I was suffering with severe OCD and it was destroying my whole life, I was keeping my job by a thread and my marriage being destroyed, my confidence rock bottom, I couldn’t think straight and my anxieties on overload, I broke down one day at work and couldn’t stop crying, my manager took me into the office and I just collapsed in the chair, he told me to stay calm and he said he had someone that could help, he had seen a therapist at a local business meeting, about 5 mins later he came back, I’ve called him ,his name is Craig and if you want to he can see you tomorrow, I’ve never looked back from that day, from the first session I felt better and improvements have just kept coming, I’m in different place now, my OCD reacts less and I have learnt with Craig’s help to control it when it does,

I had Emdr therapy with Craig, the improvements for me were life changing, my anxiety was so high and my depression was effecting me everyday, I would advice anybody to have Emdr, Craig has restored my confidence.

I work for the NHS & emergency services and I came to Craig for emdr therapy, I was given his number by a work friend who had emdr with him too, can’t believe the difference in me, my anxieties are so much lower, my trauma related stress and anxiety is so improved, this has made so much difference to my life, thanks Craig

I was experiencing very high levels of anxiety, I couldn’t think, couldn’t focus, I was struggling with sleep and feeling that I was heading in a dark direction, my thoughts becoming more and more negative, I felt useless and was a real burden to everyone around me, I spoke to a friend at work about how I was feeling, he had Been though some difficult times himself and suggested I called his therapist Craig, I felt nervous but I called, didn’t know what to expect, I spoke with Craig and everything I spoke to him about how I felt he recognised and explained what I was feeling and why, I started emdr therapy with Craig and in a few sessions I could feel improvement, these just gain more ground, within about 4 weeks I had came forward so far, my family and friends noticed the difference too, my anxieties so much lower, my sleep more regular and just feeling better, can’t believe I was thinking as I was before, those thoughts so far away now.

Thanks Craig
Real Life Saver

I had bad anxiety, it started from a traumatic incident, I work as a Paramedic and my anxieties would effecting my work,I was having time off work, I knew Craig had worked with some of my work mates, so I got in contact, I had Emdr Therapy and I was feeling improvement after a couple of sessions, my worries are lower and my anxiety so much better

I visited Craig as I had very high anxieties, I constantly worried, couldn’t think straight, I had been told he was good by a friend, I a first appointment and explained how I was feeling, I had emdr sessions with Craig and over a few weeks my anxieties got better, I feel so different now.

When our 3 year old daughter died 4 years ago our whole world fell apart, I completely shut down and nothing could bring me back. not even our other children where enough to take me out of my zombie state. Justin and I grow apart and communication pretty much nothing. I wanted to talk about her. he never did. it was like he didn't care. Pretending it didn't matter. We where broken and spiralling out of control. My aunties neighbour had been to see Craig for her depression and highly recommended him. We first went to Craig for couples counselling and soon realised we both needed to heal separately to be able to come together. So we did. Each having a session once a week, with homework lol, until we all felt we could have couples sessions.
Today we can not thank Craig enough for his dedication, patients and compassion. It was sometimes an awful journey but now we are a family again and celebrate our daughters life with other children and family's. Some days are still tough and some days we feel that extra pull we contact Craig for reassurance.
Craig is a top guy and we could never be more grateful for knowing him.

I was having problems with my mental health, suffering with high anxieties and very low moods, my temper would flare up and I would become so angry, I needed some help and fast, I was given Craig’s number by a friend who had been to him,I called, I was so nervous, we spoke for about 10 minutes on phone and we arranged an initial session to see if he could help me, from that I started emdr therapy with Craig to lower my anxieties and temper, within weeks I noticed a difference and so did my family, I’ve come so far now,

I’ve had high anxiety for years, always stressed, poor sleep, my temper was getting terrible, always biting at the kids and my partner, I was always sorry after, it was causing us problems, I was given Craig’s number by a member of my family, told try him, meant to be good, I had nothing to loss, he explained how the therapy would work and within weeks I could see improvements, my partner has noticed the changes, being able to control my temper, sleep is better too, Craig said the sleep pattern will take a while to correct, but feeling much better,

Many Thanks

I’ve had long-term Trauma & PTSD Since I left the forces, I was in the RAF and served in the Gulf war, I left the RAF in 2000 & have struggled from there, not able to move forward, I had tried other therapies before with little improvement, a friend gave me Craig‘snumber and I gave him call, right from the first chat I strangely knew I had found somebody that could help, his confidence in how Emdr therapy would help, I trusted him and I started sessions with him, I had 12 sessions in total, I felt strong improvement from about session 4, then it just gained strength from there, my symptoms related to my trauma lowered drastically, my sleep returned, I could feel more relaxed, the fear was lowering, I started to look forward, ive come so far, I feel so much better, strange to think where I was now,

I come & see Craig once a month now and this helps me, giving me somebody to talk to that understands how I’m feeling, gives me confidence.

Thank you
Craig

I came to Craig as my anxieties were so high, I felt so lacking in confidence, my social anxiety was terrible, I felt everyone was looking at me, I felt so low, I had been having some bad thoughts, I thought I was a burden to everyone, I had thought it would be better if I wasn’t here, I came out of my first session with Craig feeling different, he listened to me, he understood why I felt this way, I talked for the first time about my self harming and the thoughts I was having, he didn’t judge, he just listened, then explained about rebuilding my confidence and lowering my anxiety, find a way forward, I visited Craig for a couple of months and just felt this change happening, just as he said using emdr my thoughts and confidence increased, I’m in such a better place now,

You are good Man,
All my thanks
Steve

I have been having emdr sessions with Craig over the past 3 months, I was so negative before, couldn’t concentrate or move forward with life, had been though a violent relationship, I had my emdr face to face, I was nervous going to first session but Craig is so calming, I looked forward to my sessions, I have came so far in such a short time, didn’t think it was possible, I look forward and feel positive and in control of Me.

Thanks Craig

Craig is a fantastic therapist who explains things clearly and is understanding, mindful and empathetic. EMDR is incredibly effective even after a short time and I fully recommend it to anyone!

Have been going to Craig for my Emet Phobia with EMDR he has officially given me my life back. I can’t recommend him enough. He makes you feel at ease and comfortable straight away. He knows what he’s doing which means it’s only taken 9 sessions to get to where I am. I can’t thank him enough for what he’s done.

My experience of EMDR ,
I was having problems after I left a violent relationship, the relationship was both physically violent & emotionally damaging, I had gained the courage to leave the relationship, I was living near Birmingham at the time , a relative that lived in Norfolk had offered me a place to go , I had three little ones , no money , just enough money for the train fare & packed one suitcase as it was all I could carry with three kids , he left for work & I knew I had to go , things were getting worst every time , more violence each time he lost his temper, he had started on the kids to , I tried to protect them , my mind was everywhere, but knew I had to get us out of there , I left that morning , me , three kids & a suitcase , I knew the relative I had gone to he didn’t know of them , so I knew we were safe , but my mind kept going around & around , nightmares of him finding us , flashbacks of the abuse & beating, the thoughts of the little ones being hurt , me not being able to protect them , I tried for months to not think about him , the kids had settled into school , they were sleeping better now , they were moving on okay , but I wasn’t , the thoughts & fears so strong , never ending worry , I had found a part time job which fitted in with the children at school as was at the local school , one day I was having a very bad day with my anxiety when at work , I just couldn’t hold it in , another lady working in the office saw I was upset & she asked , so simple , “ you okay love “ & I opened up about everything,managing to speak in between the tears , telling her how I fare everyday , the dark thoughts I have , the self hatred I feel , she spoke to the headmaster & he came & talked to me , he listened then explained about the school having a counsellor they use for staff & pupils , he contacted Craig & together we arrange my first session with him , I didn’t know what to expect, but the headmaster said that other staff & pupils had found him very helpful, so I went to Craig , we talk though every that had happened , the emotions I had , the thoughts & pain I felt , He suggested that Emdr would be the most effective treatment for me , this would remove the fares that I had , we arranged the six sessions & over that time using EMDR my feelings improved , my life has moved forward to where Iam now , in a much happier place , Iam so thankful to Craig , a Therapist that changed my life , helped me find the real me again .

I’m a 22 year old healthy male addicted to Porn.
It all started as a young teen. The easy access to porn on the internet made it a obsession that was to take over my life, ruin relationships and question myself being a descent person.
I had a healthy curiosity as a young boy just getting interested in girls, so the odd look at light porn was nothing of concern. Over a period of time, the images I was looking at became more and more hard core. Rough and violent towards woman, fogging my mind from respecting woman to seeing them as objects to be used as I used them please me.
You see when you first watching porn it’s kinda funny light hearted although still stimulating, but as time goes on it does nothing for you and you need more. I’m guessing like drugs.
At my worst I was watching up to 10hours of porn a day and some horrible images of sexual violence that would make most sick. I’ll get panicky if I went to long without watching it.
I went through my late teens partying, picking up drunk girls on nights out and basically doing what I liked. I wasn’t interested in seeing these girls again only what I was getting.

Then things changed. I met Laura. Gentle, funny and beautiful. Things where great at first until I noticed she was getting quiet and distant. Avoiding physical contact and making excuses not to stay round. This went on for a few weeks. In the end we had a big row and she revealed how much she hated sex with me and that I hurt her.
I was shocked and didnt understand why she was saying this. I just did what I always did, what I had grown up learning on the net.
We talk for hours and it made me feel sick on how bad I made her feel, leaving her sore for days after.
What sort of animal was I?
I revealed to her my secret obsession with porn and we decided I desperately needed help if our relationship was going to recover.
I had no clue where to go for help or even if there was anywhere. All I knew was I had a massive problem.
I had noticed Craig’s Facebook page pop up a few times and decided he had a great reputation and his reviews powerful and life changing. This guy was worth a try.
I’ve been seeing Craig for 8 months and the changes made are incredible.
To think that my porn addiction completely brain washed me into thinking my actions towards woman where normal love making.
I now know different and the anxiety and panic attacks I had when I wasn’t watching porn has subsided.
Laura and i now enjoy a normal relationship and constantly talk about things. She is a rock and with both her and Craig’s help I can now live a healthy life.
Since realising I have this problem I have learnt what a massive problem this is and that there is help out there.

Thank Craig for your honesty and listening without judging.

Having Therapy with Craig has changed my life.

I was sexually abused as a child until I was 15 years old by my step-dad. I was threatened not to say anything or my family would be killed. My mum died of cancer when I was 17years old and confessed that she knew what was happening. This was when I went from being pretty messed up to total pushing the self destruct button.
It completely destroyed me.
I tried numerous attempts to ends my life, drank and partied to much. Slept around with no thought to my health or safety. Didn’t work, just considered myself worthless.
Didn’t care about anything or anyone.
I went with a friend to go a get her nails done and met Emma. For some reason I felt safe to tell her my story and she listened with no judgement.
After a while Emma said she had someone she wanted me to meet. It was her partner Craig a Therapist.
I met him a week later a just talked about everything that had happened. Such a relief.
We discussed a plan to move forward with his help.
I had been on the waiting list to see a Therapist for 18months with the NHS but nothing had happened.
I decided to use the money that my mum have left me to find my treatment. Had not wanted to touch it before but needed to do this.

This was a year ago and I am pleased to say that I am now in a much happier place. Totally different person.
I now run my own business, my temper is controlled, I go to the gym, look after myself and best of all I’m in a fully committed relationship with a man that adores me.

It’s never to late to change and be happy

I cannot recommend Craig and his Emdr therapy enough,
6 weeks has changed my life , my anxiety is nearly nonexistent, I’m no longer over thinking everything and I feel a lightness in me instead of the heavy doom and gloom I was carrying,
Even my friends comment on how much better I look now
