This is a letter that one of my clients 'Debbie' wrote to a local newspaper.

"I am writing to your letters page to publicly and sincerely thank Mr Phil Collins for in my words 'saving my life'.  Phil you are a professionally dedicated man who has perfected every aspect of your profession so meticulously that I regard you as a 'miracle worker'.  I have an amazing wonderful future ahead of me now thanks to your dedicated expertise.  Thank you so very much for all the time you have spent helping me.  Thank you.

Mr Phil Collins is a hypnotherapist and months ago I read an article on Mr Collins in the County Times about helping people to stop smoking with one session of hypnosis.  At the time my life was desperately unbearable, I had become unable to function and my days had become unbearable, I was severely unhappy, morbidly obese, physically and mentally unwell, agoraphobic, anxious, depressed and panicky.  My life had no meaning and was over as far as I was concerned.  I saw the article on Phil and it was the first time I had shown interest in anything for a very long time.  I found the courage to phone the number given in the article (if he could do that for smokers, surely he could help me).  A ladies friendly voice greeted me and through my panic I was able to enquire about prices.  She took my contact number and if it wasn't for Mr Collins calling me later and making me feel very safe and at ease with a soothing caring voice, I would never have taken the next step of going to see him.  Mr Collins genuinely wanted to help me and over the following months with counselling, NLP, EFT, hypnosis, genuine care and dedication Mr Collins has helped me to work through my problems, face my fears, let go of guilt and attitude and re-programme my thinking and beliefs.  It hasn't been a quick fix and I have worked very hard.  I still have a way to go but I am 100% confident that I will maintain my new thinking and behaviour.  I feel I've been given the opportunity to move on from my destructive past, my outlook and attitude is positive.  Thank you Phil

This is 'Lee':

"I found out about Phil Collins through his advert in the local newspaper.  My problem was that I had a broken heart following an affair.  I felt helpless, I had a physical pain in my chest, I couldn't think straight, i was crying all of the time as I couldn't forget this man and it was affecting my whole life, every day.  Phil used one session of EFT on me and it felt as if I was absolutely free, it was like breaking out of a cage, wonderful, unbelievable.  I felt totally at ease with Phil, his professionalism and abilities are second to none.  I would without a doubt see him again if I had other problems and I will recommend him to anyone else I feel would benefit from seeing him."

This is what 'Mag' has to say:

'I went to see Mr Collins to lose weight as he had advertised to help people lose weight with hypnotherapy.  Mr Collins talked about what hypnosis was and what it wasn't and how I would feel whilst in a trance.  This put me at ease as I was unsure what to expect.  Mr Collins took a 'life history', where he asked about how my weight had been over my life time,  I answered his questions matter of fact like until he asked me one particular question. at which I burst into loads of tears.  He said that he thought that there was a deep rooted under lying problem which needed to be resolved before I could begin to lose weight.

He suggested that we agree to a number of sessions where he would use a combination of counselling, EFT and hypnotherapy to get to the root of the problem.  Within the first session, because I felt so at ease with him and felt that he understood my problem, I told him things that I have told no one else including my husband and family.  We have worked on my problem and subsequent problems that I have allowed him to be aware of, and although I do not feel 100% better I have come a long way from where I was and I will continue to see Mr Collins and I feel that with his help and total commitment, I will achieve my goal.'

Barbara came to see me because she was a chocaholic

"I went to see Phil after seeing his advert in the County Times.  My problem was that if I saw chocolate I would have to eat all of it.  The problem got so bad that I would even eat my grandchildren's chocolate if they left some lying around which made me feel very guilty.  As a consequence my weight has always been a problem.  Phil used Parts Therapy with me, a form of hypnosis, and after just 3 sessions I no longer want Chocolate, in fact instead of chocolate I eat an apple or a piece of fruit.  I feel confident that I can start to lose weight now that I don't need chocolate any more.  Many thanks Phil for being very helpful and thorough.  I will certainly be telling others about you.  Best wishes.  Barbara."

Ann came to see me for a snake phobia

"I was given one of Mr Collins' leaflets and business card.  My problem was that I had a fear of snakes and of people touching my neck.  I couldn't even watch a snake on TV and I was having nightmares about snakes.  In addition, no one could touch my neck, if anyone tried I would pull away, even my partner could not touch my neck.  If someone did try to touch my neck I would get a claustrophobic feeling.  My work involves me going into peoples houses and I dread the thought that there might be a snake in there as I would panic and run out, which is not very professional.  

During the first session we worked on my problem with my neck.  Phil used EFT and within 20 minutes I was able to let Mr Collins touch my neck, amazing. I told my family that evening and they could not believe it and my partner tested it out and found that he could touch my neck without me pulling away.  In the second session, Phil asked if the neck problem had disappeared and I told him that it had.  He used Part's Therapy in this session.  I discovered through being regressed to a past life that my snake phobia had come from a previous life where I was a 13 year old boy and a snake had attacked me whilst I walked through some woods.  The snake scratched my neck with it's fangs.  At the end of the session I felt confident that my phobia had gone.  To test this Phil arranged a meeting the following day at a local pet shop, in which was a large snake.  When we arrived at the pet shop we walked straight in (something I would never have done in the past) and went up to the snake.  Within minutes I was touching the glass case where the snake was - absolutely amazing.  I am now able to watch snakes on TV and no longer have nightmares.

Mr Collins was easy to talk to, he explained everything and answered all of my questions.  I never thought that I would be rid of my phobia but with his help I know that it's gone for ever.  I have recommended Phil to my friends who have problems."

This is 'TN'

"I found  Phil  through the local newspaper.  My problem was that I suffered from overwhelming sadness.  I felt depressed, tearful, hopeless, heavy and burdened, at rock bottom.  After several sessions with Phil I now feel released, light, happy, emotionally stable and looking forward to the future.  He helped me with counselling, EFT and hypnosis.  Phil is an absolute professional, I felt very safe and able to say anything without fear of judgment."

Carolyn came to see me with tightness of the jaw

"I was given Phil's contact details from someone who had been to see him.  My problem was that I had tightness in my jaw and I would grind my teeth at night.  I had seen a psychotherapist for 3 years, which did help but only to a limited degree.  I was amazed by the help I had with Phil Collins after just one session of EFT.  Things have improved but it's difficult to pinpoint, as though something was missing from visual thought patterns.  I'm well impressed.  I'm certainly going to recommend him to others."

This is what Sylvia had to say about my EFT training course:

Hi Phil,

I just wanted to say thank you so much for such an interesting, inspiring and enthusing day on Saturday. I can honestly say that it was the best training course that I have ever attended and I came away absolutely buzzing! I just know that I am going to love EFT and already I’ve seen some results!

John has had a pain in his neck (no, not me!) for some time and has been diagnosed with degenerating disks and he now has the problem in his lower back too. It has got so bad that from time to time he has had to have traction at the hospital and he’s going through one of these phases at the moment.

When I got home on Saturday I was overflowing with excitement and telling him all about what I had learnt. We’re decorating at the moment, so he’s been doing a lot of stretching and his neck and back have been particularly bad. Later in the evening I suggested that I have a go with the EFT to see if we could get any improvement in his neck which was really sore and painful.

After the first round it reduced from 10 to 6, after the second round to 3 and after the third round to a dull ache. He woke up Sunday morning with no pain. Last night I suggested that we did the same on his back. He was tired and irritable and not in the mood but I said to him that he had nothing to lose so why not give it a go.

Where was the pain on a scale from 1 to 10? About 27! We did a round and it went to 7, we did another round and it went to 5, we did a third round and it went to between 3 and 4. At this point he simply lost the will to live, so we left it there and went to bed. This morning he woke up and the pain had gone!

I am astounded and amazed at this technique and I’m excited at the possible applications. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and expertise Phil. It was wonderful.

This is Soo

"After attending one of Phil's brilliant EFT course's, I booked myself  some sessions with him on a one to one basis to help me with a long standing problem that I had.  The problem was that I was over emotional, I was always crying and always felt overwhelmed.  Phil used a combination of EFT, Hypnosis and Past Life Regression and now I feel really relaxed and much happier.  He was very supportive throughout and I felt totally understood by him.  What a wonderful experience, I will spread the word about this fantastic experience, it's certainly changed my life."

Stop Smoking:

"I booked my sessions after seeing Phil's advert in the County Times.  I was smoking between 20 - 25 cigarettes a day. After the first session of hypnosis I was amazed to find that I had no withdrawal symptoms or cravings. The second sessions was wonderful as I knew what to expect, within seconds I was in a deep state of relaxation. Phil is a complete and utter star. The sessions were very enjoyable and helpful.  I've told everyone about my experience and I'm encouraging them all to book their sessions. Thanks Phil - Angela"

Andy came to overcome his fear of flying:

" I booked a session with Phil after seeing his sign outside of his practice.  I had a total fear of flying and used to get panic attacks and feel nauseous when ever I had to fly. I  had a holiday to Australia booked, which included 8 internal flights. Phil used hypnosis and EFT on me in just one session.  My holiday was fantastic, I had absolutely no fear and in fact enjoyed everyone of them.  My wife could not believe how relaxed I was.  Even better, after the holiday I had to fly to Spain on business on my own, again absolutely no fear.  I now have no worries about getting on an airplane."

Gemma came to me because she had a fear of public speaking but more importantly she was petrified about the actual speaking of her vows at her wedding:

"I am writing to thank you so much for your help leading up to my wedding day. All the techniques we went through really did pay off.  I spent the morning of the wedding doing lots of tapping, but felt really confident and did not panic at all during the day (not even during the Chapel service!!). I just enjoyed every minute from start to finish, which is what I wanted to achieve.  I am so grateful for your support.  I do not think I could have done it without our sessions. Thank you so very much.  Best wishes - Gemma."

Graham came to see me with a Post Traumatic Stress Disorder problem

"My wife has been receiving help from Phil and she suggested that I had a session with him.  I have suffered from PTSD for many years following a serious road accident. I would get surprise visual reminders which would cause feelings of panic and fear.  I would suffer from fatigue and tiredness which I could cope with during the day but very often when I went to bed in the evening I would break down and cry without any warning. I had one session of EFT with Phil and now I feel in control and calm and no longer feel tired or break down in tears at night."
