Duncan Spedding - Professional Anxiety Specialist

I was searching desperately for heIp, after experiencing and then suffering with intense and catastrophic intrusive thoughts, that were causing me severe anxiety. I came across Duncans website and decided to reach out to him for support. After a brief telephone call with Duncan, which was extremely emotional for me to express and articulate, I instantly realised that he "Got me" and he knew exactly what I was experiencing. He was incredibly understanding and knowledgable about what I was going through and not only did I quickly realise that Id found the man to fix me, an immediate weight had also been lifted, which was a huge relief. I really thought I'd lost myself, my life and my family and I was a broken man. Duncan quickly put me back together, he taught me how to own what I was thinking, he taught me how to win the game over intrusive thoughts and I left his clinic feeling euphoric.the old me was finally back, much to the delight of my helpless family. I can't thank you enough Duncan for everything you have done for me. A true anxiety professional who specialises in helping people take charge of their mind!

Where do I start.I was extremely apprehensive before going to see Duncan, as I thought nothing and no-one could help me with what I was going through. I was incredibly anxious, not sleeping and felt low, almost I would say at rock bottom and this poor period of mental health I was experiencing had started to take its toll on not only me, it was impacting my fiance, my children and my business aswell. However, the minute I met Duncan for the first time, I knew instantly that things were about to change, as his reassuring, professional and understanding personality, made him extremely easy to talk too, meaning it was easy to open up to him, which was somewhat unexpected, as Ive always been someone who has struggled to talk about my emotions. What became clear in my first session with Duncan, was that I was being bullied and pushed around by my anxious thoughts, that were consistently ruling and ruining my life and I had no idea whatsoever how to deal with them when they reared their ugly head. However, within 70 mins of sitting in front of Duncan, I underwent a masterclass in gaining an understanding of what these thoughts are, why I was getting them, but most importantly, how to deal with them and shut them down! My whole behaviour and demeanour towards them completely changed and I left Duncans clinic empowered, confident and buzzing. The next time I went to see him two weeks later, I was a completely different person and back to the old, happy me! Im now in charge of my thoughts and feelings, Im sleeping, Im laser focused at work and I cant wait to get married in the summer. Duncan is a really clever, super talented, mental health specialist, who has given me my life back and I cannot thank him enough for what he has done for me and my family.

After spending years of my life trying to hide my anxiety from others and telling myself it would all just go away one day, i finally decided enough was enough. I'd come across Duncan's page online previously but still in denial it took me a further year of struggling to finally get in touch. Sending that first message was difficult but it was the best decision i could of made! I only wish i'd done it sooner. Duncan is an amazing guy, he made me feel relaxed immediately. He is trustworthy, understanding and straight talking with the ability to make something that feels so complex seem so simple. He gave me the tools and understanding i needed to tackle my anxiety head on. Duncan has been right by my side all the way, even outside of the sessions. Send that first message, it'll be the best decision you make.

Our 16 yr old son was suffering from terrible anxiety, that was really limiting his life at what shouldve been the most memorable times of his childhood. He is a very talented sportsman playing football and rugby in two professional academies, until an injury finished any hopes of pursuing either. On top of this, he also had to undergo brain surgery for a serious issue and things were starting to look very bleak. After this all happened, he was unable to attend school for any period of time and he couldnt manage a whole day of school for 18 months. In this time we saw a GP and a total of 5 child psychologists all to no avail, nothing changed in our son, we honestly thought we would never get our smiley, funny, happy son back. We then found Duncan, he was local Professional Anxiety Specialist and had a common background in sport, so we knew our son would be able to relate to him. We took him to see Duncan and everything changed after one session. When our son walked out of Duncans clinic we could immediately see a change in him. Just the way he looked and appeared in himself was completely different. He has now seen Duncan 3 times and is back to his old self, which for us, it is like a miracle has happened and we cant thank Duncan enough for what he has done. Dont hesitate to contact Duncan if you or your children are struggling, hes incredible and I / we cant recommend him highly enough, literally a life saver. Simon & Andrea Towcester

I found Duncan when I realised I needed help from my incessant ruminating. It was about work - my new job. The resultant anxiety eventually undermined all the joy in my life: I knew I had to find a professional who could try to help me, but I wasnt sure there was someone who could! On first meeting Duncan I was reassured by his warmth and professionalism, I knew I wasnt judged for getting upset so I could be open, honest & speak freely. Although I was curious about Duncans approach to teach me a method to manage my anxious thoughts, I applied what he taught me with commitment and dedication and although I didnt know it at the time, it proved to be well worth it. In fact I realised just how much anxiety had been ruling my mind. Duncans consultations became a catalyst for numerous improvements I then set in train: my worrying & anxiety disappeared, as my old self returned. His consultations remain valuable to look back on, to remind myself of what Ive learnt from him and how far Ive come. I will confidently recommend Duncan: he is practical, trustworthy and straight talking, giving you the tools for you to help yourself. Duncan has been a tremendous support and guide out of that stressful period, its hard to imagine I wouldve got better without him.
