I have known Gavin since 1997 and  reconnected with him on Facebook. Here he wrote of some techniques regarding hyperventilation. I reached out to him via Messenger about which techniques I could apply if I suffered from extreme anxiety in regards to my new job. Just started as a home care helper during the summer with no formal training. The whole start up was extremely confusing and made me literally shaking not only my hands but my whole body. I had trouble sleeping and never have I suffered from such nerves – not even before exams or any of the other crazy things I have done in my life. Anyway we wrote back and forth and Gavin gave me some suggestions to techniques and some insights to my situation. It all helped and I no longer suffer from these extreme anxieties or the nervousness. Still not sure this is the way I want to proceed in my future career, but at least I can now manage every day with calm nerves.

I recently worked with Gavin in a collaborative project focusing on business performance anxiety & workplace related anxiety. I was impressed with his knowledge and ability to build rapport with the various stakeholders present. I believe Gavin’s professional background enables him to really understand the day to day challenges. This combined with his knowledge of workplace anxiety/business performance anxiety makes him a great addition to any organisation seeking a professional to work with individual employees, teams and leaders in alleviating workplace anxiety/business performance anxiety.

Gavin was first recommended to me a couple of years ago and I am so glad he worked with me as my mindset consultant and mental wellbeing coach – he helped me tremendously in terms of managing and reducing my stress and anxiety. I was at a point in my personal life where I was not progressing in what I wanted to achieve. I had ideas but was not entirely sure how to implement them. I am a very proud person who finds it hard to talk about my feelings. Gavin helped me by continuously taking an empathetic approach as he always listened patiently to my concerns, asking me pertinent and direct questions which enabled me to step back and consider things from a different perspective.

At times, Gavin asked me questions that ordinarily i would have found hard to answer. His ability to make me feel so at ease and build my trust helped me to lower my guard and open up about things I wouldn’t ordinarily have.

Gavin’s natural ability to establish and build rapport helped me to dive into my wants and needs, which as it turned out, further encouraged conversations about the fear, anxiety and stress points in my life that were affecting me and creating barriers to my goals. After just a few sessions with Gavin, I felt motivated and confident enough to challenge myself into doing a half marathon. In short, Gavin helped me to overcome procrastination. He helped me to understand more about the effects that my anxieties and stressors have placed on my life, along with the hold that fear, on occasion, has taken a hold of me. In doing so, Gavin showed me various coping tools that enabled me to better manage and reduce these issues. These tools also taught me how to recognise certain anxiety triggers, helping me to better understand and manage stressful situations.

I told Gavin I wanted to put a lot of things in the past and move forward whilst also improving upon my own performance. This is another thing Gavin helped me achieve through use of effective interventions such as mental rehearsal techniques.

I am without doubt a changed man since working with Gavin. He was able to break down the complexities and simplify them, which encouraged me towards being more motivated.

I will be attempting another 4 half marathons with his help, which means I will achieve my goal of completing five. I have felt and seen my work and personal performance transform and improve.

In the past I’ve been somewhat resistant towards the idea of using a mindset consultant; however, Gavin’s authentic and charismatic demeanour made it an entirely comfortable experience for me throughout. I would highly recommend Gavin as a mindset consultant to anyone who may need the help I did in terms of moving forward in their life.
