I first Met Tim in June 2006. My reason for consulting him was very simple, I was suffering from
severe anxiety which was beginning to take over my life. This had probably been affecting me
for some time, but had become acute over a 6-12 month period without me realising. I had until
this time been a self-confident, well adjusted person, with a busy management career and a
regular family life.
All aspects of my life were being affected by the sudden onset of anxiety. I would wake up in the
morning with a feeling of impending dread about having to face the day. I was so anxious by the
time I got behind the wheel of the car that I almost froze. On a number of occasions I actually
stopped the car and could not drive again until I had calmed myself down.
I actually consulted my GP, who recommended a few simple relaxation exercises as the cure to
my anxiety, but failed to get to the bottom of my problems. I saw him again and he offered me
pills, which I refused, so he referred me to a counsellor. She thought that I was having
relationship problems with my son, who has a learning disability, so I carried on my life having
lost all faith in the medical profession.
I now believe I was on the way to becoming agoraphobic, as I could not step outside the house
without becoming dizzy and disorientated, with blurred vision. This I believe was all due to
anxiety attacks.
Almost as an act of desperation I contacted Tim, whose advert I had spotted in a local free
journal. Believe me it took some bottle at the time as I was so nervous I could hardly pick up the
phone.
Tim put me at ease from the first moment I spoke with him on the telephone. I found it easy to
speak with him as he listened and absorbed what I had to say, without passing any judgement
on the person he saw before him. He very quickly made me feel relaxed and more in control of
my life.
I visited Tim for 4 sessions and during this time I found that the things which were causing me to
become anxious were gradually getting easier. After 2 sessions I found I could drive again
without the feeling that I was loosing control. Believe me, after 6 months of panic attacks at the
wheel it was like having a huge chunk of my life back.
I have continued to listen to the CD’s Tim made during our sessions as often as possible and
this has helped to keep the anxiety at bay and given me control of my life once more.
I cannot thank Tim enough for his understanding and help and would recommend his service to
anyone who feels that they are at the point of despair due to anxiety.
Recommendation 2
Before September 06 I was suffering extreme panic attacks due to family Loss’s and the hard
reality of withdrawal symptoms from the anti depressant Seroxat. The Results were constant
panic attacks and a fear of leaving my house and being alone. My Dr's solution was more
medication, but over the last 5 years medication had only numbed my feelings and the
underlining problems. I was at my witts end and at a all time low.
I decided to try an alternative treatment, hypnotherapy was suggested and after considering all
the options I contacted Tim. To be quite honest from the moment I met Tim, my nerves slowly
faded away. Tim has a very understanding nature which is present from the initial telephone
call. Tim made an immediate impression and after the first session I felt an improvement .
After each session I was presented with a copy of the relaxation CD, with the Positive messages
included to listen to at home. This is a massive boost because after every session with the Cd,
then seeing Tim for a session once a week, my confidence and the initial panic attacks attacks
slowly disappeared. After every session I was beginning to be more positive and confident. Its
now March 07 and I haven’t had a panic attack in months, I am more confident and my life is
moving forward. Looking back I wish I could have seen Tim years earlier for the benefits are
amazing.
I would fully recommend Tim for Hypnotherapy treatment to anyone the results are truly amazing.

Name and Address withheld for reasons of confidentiality
June 2005
To whom it may concern:
After experiencing severe panic attacks, my doctor advised these were brought on by
depression, following several years of looking after my elderly mother and her subsequent
death. That was five years and many repeat prescriptions ago.
Looking back, I feel that any depression was due to the onset of the panic attacks, which I could
not deal with. In the main they tended to come on at night, waking me with fear and trembling
and feeling nauseous.
Recently I made the decision to come off the pills, taking the view that if I was still having panic
attacks, it was pointless taking the medication. I was already reducing the dosage before I saw
the doctor who suggested an alternative treatment, NLP, which I had never heard of. He had the
name and telephone number of two practitioners one of whom was Tim Wells.
I rang Tim and we met a few days later. At our initial meeting, we discussed what the treatment
entailed, and Tim fully answered all my questions. I told him when the attacks started, etc., and
he listened, without taking notes. In fact, during our subsequent meetings he has never written
anything down and yet remembers our previous conversations. I was concerned about
confidentiality, but Tim has never even asked for my address. This was a first for me, someone
who was able to listen and understand, so I decided to go ahead with the treatment, and the first
session took place following our discussion.
A session consists of a general chat, talking over what has happen since the last appointment
and discussing anything you may have had problems dealing with. Then all you are required to
do is sit in the chair with your eyes closed – not too difficult. During this time, Tim talks to you,
helping you to relax and putting positive suggestions to you. All of this is recorded to CD, which
you take home and listen to as many times as possible in the time between appointments. It is
important to listen to the CD on a daily basis if possible.
I have now had five appointments with Tim. During that time, I have had only one major panic
attack, which I dealt with without any trauma. I can’t tell you what a major achievement that was; I
am no longer scared now I have the strength to deal with them.
I wish I had known about Tim earlier. I am very grateful to him and I would have no hesitation in
recommending him to anyone who needs help to get “their life back”. Thank you Tim, the day I
became your client I began to get control of my life again.
Recommendation 4
I visited Tim over a period of about three months during the summer of 2003. I'd seen one of his
adverts in the local press early on in 2003 but did not ring it at the time because I thought Ii
could cope with the problems I was experiencing myself.
I didn't now it at the time but I had been suffering from anxiety, panic attacks, obsessive
compulsive disorder and depression over a period of about two years. I visited the doctors
frequently during this two years period but wasn't properly diagnosed. This is partly my own fault
because I did not realise or did not want to admit that the problems I was experiencing where
mental rather than physical.
At 34 I still had an outgoing life style I was a DJ, I went weight training and swimming three times
a week, I enjoyed extreme sports like surfing and snowboarding and loved going out boozing
with me mates, I had a good job, steady relationship and a beautiful little daughter. Suffering
from mental problems was to me, embarrassing, something I could not talk to my family about,
and especially not something I could talk to any of my mates about.
It got to the point during the summer of 2003 that I thought I had to get help, I was taking time of
work, I stopped going out with friends and family and found it hard to have any kind of social life.
My life had turned into a living nightmare I had become scared and frightened whenever I set
foot out of the house and couldn't explain why. I felt uncomfortable in the company of my
girlfriend and daughter and no matter what I did I could not get rid of the nightmare thoughts
that were going through my mind. That for me was the most upsetting and disturbing thing I had
to go through and it was at that point that I decided to get Professional help.
I'd contemplated turning up at the mental hospital and asking them to admit me on a number of
occasions, but was afraid of what my friends and family would think. It was at this time that I
decided to give Tim a ring. The main reason why I think I rang Tim first was that he was local to
where I lived and I had seen him a number of times walking around the local village and I felt that
he was someone that I would be able to get on with and talk to.
At first I was abet apprehensive about what Tim was actually going to do for me and the
methods he was going to employ. During our initial meeting I sat down with Tim with an open
mind and came out of the session feeling positive. For me just being able to share my feelings
with another person was a huge weight of my shoulders and I felt personally that I was taking a
step in the right direction by seeking professional help.
Over the following months I had a one hour session every week, and listened to the tape
recorded from each session at least once a day and when I was going through a rough patch if
possible. During this period I found myself gradually regaining my confidence and becoming
mentally stronger. By the end of the sessions I found myself being able to handle most of the
situations that I was confronted with, situations that would not have been able to handle prior to
the sessions.
A year on I look back at the time that I spent with Tim as a stepping stone and a turning point in
my life. I was going through something that was frightening and that I couldn't explain and to be
honest I did not know were it was going to end. Tim turned things around for me, made sense of
what I was going through, made me believe in myself and gave me the mental ability to turn my
life around for which I am deeply great full.
Thanks Tim,
All the best,
XXXXXXX

To whom it may concern
After many months of very poor sleeping, waking early, a poor appetite, virtually no confidence
and very bad anxiety attacks, I visited my doctor. He gave me medication for these problems,
but nothing changed.
During a conversation with an acquaintance he drew my attention to Mr Wells. After a long
deliberation I decided to give him a call. I had a chat with him and decided to give it a go.
I had 5 meetings with Mr Wells and after 2 meetings I felt a great deal better. I must stress,
however , that you have got to give this your undivided attention.
After 5 meetings with Mr Wells the transformation was unbelievable. I could sleep, anxiety was
no problem and my confidence returned.
I would recommend anyone with similar problems to give Mr Wells a call. He will ease your
problems and make your life 100% better.

Recommendation 6
When I first approached Tim he asked me how he could help me and what I wanted to achieve. I
mentioned areas such as more self-confidence, and more self-belief.
In our early sessions Tim tried to get me to identify exactly what I was looking for and what I
wanted to improve, but I found it increasingly difficult to say with any great conviction what I was
really striving for.
I’ll even admit thinking at one stage that it was all a waste of time (and money). This was not
because Tim was doing anything wrong, in fact I found him more effective and very open about
the techniques he used than a previous experience I had some years previously with another
practitioner. I just felt that everything that Tim was suggesting I was already doing.
There was no profound effect, no feeling of being ‘put under’ but rather a very peaceful feeling
resulting in a very relaxed state.
As the weeks went on I realised that I did not have, and really never did have, a problem with
being able to relax and remove any stress.
I found myself thinking much more deeply about what I wanted out of life, both at work and at
home. I identified what was important to me and started to dismiss any anger or bad feelings I
had towards the attitudes or behaviour of other people, or of situations I could do nothing about.
I started to feel happier with my lot, and with it came much more self-belief in what I was doing.
Some months now after completing my sessions with Tim I find myself planning much more for
the future, I am still doing the same work and people I know will not really have seen any
changes in me. I do, however, feel much more at ease and some of my plans and hopes for the
future are quite ambitious, but ‘where there’s a will there’s a way’.
All people are different and I can see that Tim’s relaxation techniques will be very effective on
those who need it. I realised that I was one of the fortunate ones who could relax at will. My
experience with Tim therefore was more one of him being a counsellor, someone to talk with, in
fact I requested that on a couple of occasions that we did just that.
Tim is very knowledgeable in relaxation and NLP techniques, but my own recommendation is
that he is someone who helped me to think very deeply about myself.
His flexibility and adaptability gives him the scope to help all kinds of people and circumstances.
