I was not in a good place. I have had a phobia of heights as far back as I can remember and avoided going to places where I would be high. However now my anxiety levels became even worse by effecting my driving on motorways becoming anxious and having to stop often. After one session with Filipe and listening to audio book my driving has got back to normal and no longer feel anxious about driving on motorway. After further sessions & therapy can now go up mountains to the top and enjoy the view and being in control. Amazing work thank you so much. Really appreciate the help and support

I realised I had a problem with house spiders when I would freeze, sob and effectively ask strangers to come into my house to remove them. If there was one in the bathroom, I had to barricade it and go without until someone could come (despite having a second bathroom, however I wouldn't go in it incase of spiders). It was really starting to get in the way of my daily life, especially now it is autumn and 'spider season'. I'd find my mind being consumed with worry about coming to home to one. I knew it was really bad when one was on my stairs and I genuinely considered going out the window. I really enjoyed the sessions and found them informative, relaxing and so helpful. Filipe was so supportive, thorough and helped me recognise and celebrate my successes. I never thought I'd be able to live a life without extreme fear of spiders and be able to be free of the worry about coming home to them. After my sessions finished, I have actually faced a house spider twice and was able to catch it in a glass on both occasions. The work Filipe did with me made it so I could actually rationally think and take the steps to remove it myself and I am really proud. I'm really pleased I invested the money into Felipe's service and would recommend anyone with a phobia to give it a try. I don't love spiders, but I am able to think straight and take steps to remove it. I feel so much more free and independent and feel like I could deal with a larger one if I had to.

Thank you Filippe. I feel much more confident now about being in situations that would have previously triggered my phobia. I am much more positive now and better able to embrace change. I don’t feel the need to avoid certain situations anymore. Even if I still feel anxiety at times, I know it’s nothing to be afraid of anymore and it won’t balloon into full blown panic.
I came to Filipe for treatment for emetophobia which had started to affect me badly in the last year. I’ve been to many talking therapists throughout my life and felt a bit burnt out from it all, so I went into this with a sceptical mindset. I was pleasantly surprised, however. I found the sessions informative, engaging and relaxing. Since completing the sessions, I have noticed that when the thought I might be getting sick pops into my head, I don’t panic and the world doesn’t feel like it’s falling apart like it used to. I can move past the initial anxiety and carry on with life.
I really loved my sessions with Filipe. He was very patient and didn’t think my phobia was silly at all (even at times when I did) he was very understanding and really made me feel like he had a lot of time for me. It’s nice when you feel like someone genuinely really wants to help you. The tactics he gave me along with the science based facts about the brain and the subconscious, really made me think a different way. I feel so much more relaxed. Spiders won’t be my best friend any time soon but at least I can love living again without fear. Thank you! P.s. I even managed to ignore one in my house a week after my first session – that’s results!
The treatment was simple, effective and easy to apply. You just have to do the work. Highly recommended.
Filipe was great to work with…I really was very skeptical…it seemed to good to be true.
But a phobia I have had for most of my life has gone in 3 sessions! It’s very straightforward and not a painful process at all. He is passionate about what he does and it shows, he clearly knows his area of expertise well and is a great therapist.
I can’t recommend him enough.
