The defining character of a panic attack is the sense of an imminent loss of control. The question is do you have a choice as to whether you have a panic attack, or whether you can control your emotions? For many people, they don’t believe that they have a choice and that once a panic attack starts they have to see it through to the end.
But it doesn’t have to be this way. By working with us, and our unique A.W.A.R.E. programme, you will be able to overcome your phobic reactions, and regain control of your life.
If you suffer severe anxiety or panic attacks, have tried other therapies and are still a hostage to your emotions, then our techniques, unique to us, and developed over 25 years, will give you a whole new approach to giving you back control of your life.
Whether you experience panic attacks, General Anxiety Disorder, O.C.D., P.T.S.D., depression, Social Anxiety Disorder, now is the time to take back control of your life, and live a life of happiness, free of these emotions.

Well where do I start! Absolutely amazing, wonderful people. Diane is so down to earth and Chris is, well, just one hell of a bloke! He has helped me massively over the months with my PTSD anxiety and finding out who I really am, as I was never happy with myself and always conscious about what others thought of me. I have previously been through rehabilitation on a four and a half month program, having therapy 5 days a week, and let me tell you it’s nothing on what Chris can do! This man has healed me, and I can’t thank him enough. Highly recommend.

In May 2017 I had a cycling accident. It was a very traumatic experience for me.
Whilst cycling along a quiet canal towpath I misjudged the height of the next bridge and at a reasonable speed, I collided with the bridge which knocked me unconscious. I ended up following my bike into the canal.
I regained consciousness only to find that I was underwater and caught up on my bike at the bottom of the canal.
Eventually, I was able to get free but I was in such a panicking state I couldn’t think clearly. I had no oxygen left, I accepted I was going to drown. At the very last moment, my feet found the bottom and I just about managed to find the energy to stand up and surface. As I coughed up the water, the shock really hit me and I experienced a massive panic attack. I remember shouting and screaming until my voice gave out.
After a very long time, someone walking along helped me get out finally.
In the following days and months, I suffered from massive shock, denial, anxiety, panic attacks, fatigue, insomnia, flashbacks, nightmares, intrusive thoughts and dreams, endless emotional episodes. Rapid mood swings, poor concentration, memory problems, self-harm and thoughts of suicide. My job became very difficult for me to do it properly. Everyday shopping, going on a train, using lifts all got hard as I found it made my anxiety worse going to places where a lot of people would be.
After 9 months of talking therapy, I wasn’t getting better. In fact, I was getting worse. Also, I’d analysed my accident so much it had become a habit for me. I thought about it 24hours a day. It was all I could think about.
Meeting Chris Allsopp, who is a psychotherapist in Stone, Staffordshire, saved me from my problems getting any worse. Chris understands exactly what it is like to experience pain and difficult times. He was in a serious accident and for 11 years after, a paraplegic and wheelchair bound. He experienced anxiety, panic attacks, pain seizures all the whilst stuck in the wheelchair. After an operation to remove scar tissue, Chris spent 3 years learning to walk again. He spent many years studying psychology and now teaches his own unique course of therapy helping people find happiness and understanding in their lives.
Chris helped me to stop looking at my cycling accident for answers that weren’t there. How to regain control of my emotions. With his expertise, Chris helped me with my anxiety and panic attacks. It was a truly fantastic moment when Chris helped me to smile for the first time in nearly a year. My memory is slowly improving now. The insight that Chris gives is not difficult and he will go at your own pace. It’s best to have a pen and paper with you so you can make a few notes. Ask as many questions as you can, he’s there to help you. Chris helped me to overcome a lot of problems.
He’s made a difference in my life.
Thank you .

Diane and Chris are fantastic! They’ve offered lots of great techniques to me in order for me to then help my students. I’m a driving instructor so it’s important for me to offer my students as much support as possible. If you have the chance to work with these guys, take it! You won’t regret it!

Chris and Diane have used a wide range of techniques helping myself and my work. They have helped me create my ’emotional tool bag’ for whenever I need it, and they are always there if I need them.
The unique systems that they use are tailored to the needs of their clients, and good banter at times too!
