Duncan Spedding - Professional Anxiety Specialist Omdömen 4

I was out one night in a restaurant relaying to friends that I had been unable to sleep for nearly seven weeks when a man from the next table came over, apologised for listening to our conversation and went on to tell me he knew what I was going through and said I needed to make contact with Duncan Spedding.I was honestly at breaking point when I completed Duncan's contact form online and couldn't wait for him to reply. Duncan made contact within hours and later that week I was sat in front of him. At that point I did not recognise myself any more, I was an emotional wreck and honestly thought I was going mad.Duncan's first therapy session with me was like magic. He made me understand I didn't have a sleep problem first off but I had sleep anxiety. After an hour of sitting with Duncan he taught me techniques that were going to help me. Duncan has a warmth about him that just makes you trust him. He oozes understanding of what you are going through. I left with a big hug and a positive feeling for the first time in weeks.Within a few nights I slept, I was elated!. You have to really work at the techniques, I knew only I could fix this using Duncan's techniques. I worked hard at it. I saw Duncan two weeks later and I had slept 10 of those nights. I was a completely different person and feeling so much more like myself again. It takes time but I'm confident now I can get there and know what to do when those little messages come.I so wish I had found Duncan earlier, he has honestly been my saviour and would recommend him whole heartedly to anyone struggling with their sleep. I'm looking forward to my next appointment in three weeks when I'm sure I have had even more success.Thank you from the bottom of my heart Duncan

Before reaching out to Duncan, I had spent many years suffering with a health based anxiety, which affected me both at work and more recently, had encroached into my personal life aswell. I knew I needed some professional help to try and regain some control over what I was thinking and how I was feeling, so after researching and finding Duncan online and then reading some of his reviews, I reached out to him via his website and I’m so very glad that I did.
Duncan has been an enormous help to me. During the time I spent with him, he gave me a thorough understanding of what was going on in my head and then proceeded to get to the route of the problem very quickly. He empowered me with practical behavioural strategies, which have enabled me to completely free myself of any anxiety and no longer be beholden to those anxious thought’s which had pushed me around for so long.
I can’t recommend him highly enough!

I’ve been working with Duncan Spedding ever since I moved back to Northampton, after he was recommended to me by a family member. I’ve always struggled with overthinking and imposter syndrome and Duncan has been vital for me in controlling my thought process, which has ultimately helped me succeed in life. In comparison to other mental health professionals I have worked with, Duncan’s straightforward style and not backing away from being honest, yet fair, is not only unique, but exactly what I have needed at certain points in my life. I don’t need someone to tell me it’s going to be okay; I want to be told how I can fix it and what I can and need to change in order to take ownership of what I’m thinking and how I’m feeling. If you care about making a difference in your life and taking control of your thoughts, I can’t recommend Duncan highly enough.

Our son was experiencing anxiety and it had been going on for the best part of 18 months. Making the decision to speak to a professional is never easy on so many levels, so when Duncan was referred to me by a friend I got in contact. Duncan’s professionalism and empathy immediately put myself and my husband at ease, so we booked a session for our son. The first face to face meeting I didn’t think my son would get out of the car. Duncan met us outside and quickly gave my son the encouragement he needed. Prior to meeting with Duncan, our son had stopped wanting to go anywhere without us (apart from school). Getting a lift with another parent to football training, going to a birthday party or going to a holiday club, would send him into an anxious state (sometimes symptomatic of a panic attack) and he would refuse to go. As parents we navigated around this, not wanting to make him upset. But this wasn’t helping the situation. After the sessions with Duncan 6 months later we found ourselves with an 11 year old who has now been to holiday clubs, goes to football training and I can’t remember the last time he has talked about feeling worried or anxious. If we have learned anything it’s to seek help in the early days. Thank you Duncan, for your excellent guidance and support. Kat, Mum- Beds
