FEARS/PHOBIAS/PANIC

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

‘Since childhood, I had been experiencing fear of not having enough money and spending money had always left me feeling guilty, however, after working with Umar these feelings quickly dissipated. I also learned that the fear of financial security was merely a decoy my mind had created to replace the fear of abandonment - a fear that took place at a very young age when I lost a close relative.

Before reaching out to Umar, I hadn’t considered NLP as an option, solely because I wasn’t that familiar with it. However, I’m happy that I gave it a chance because the NLP session exceeded my expectations. This is because, in addition to the gained insights and processing of my old emotions, I acquired mental clarity and my energy levels received a boost, which then had a positive knock-on effect on my productivity. This is still something that amazes me.

Since the NLP session, I have also noticed that it has been a lot easier for me to deal with life’s everyday challenges, especially when it comes to work-related stress. I have a clearer understanding of my emotions and I’m more skilled in recognising the emotions of others and how these have affected me in the past. The level of self-compassion has grown as well and I’ve noticed feeling more relaxed and present in conversations.

It is important to acknowledge that all of this progress would not have been possible without a coach whom you can trust. I could instantly tell that Umar’s number one priority is your wellbeing, to make sure you feel at ease and that you receive the help you need. He treats you in the most non-judgemental and caring manner and with his quick wit and sharp intellect he effortlessly guides you to explore your feelings and thoughts. I am very grateful for the help that I received and for the long-lasting effects of the NLP session, therefore, I can truly recommend Umar to anyone who is looking to improve their life and gain a better understanding of oneself.’

‘Before working with Umar, I was not as in tune with my emotions as I am today. I’d encounter feelings of fear and anxiety when the topic of commitment in relationships was brought up. The trigger would raise a sense of self-doubt and timidity that spurred conflicting feelings of anger within me. This had been a natural response that cycled over 6-10 years, causing me to end relationships prematurely. These feelings caused me to dissociate and detach from the present, which enabled me to distance and push people away repeatedly, without feeling guilt. There is nothing worse than being aware of what you’re doing and feeling a lack of control from stopping the cascade from happening. Even more puzzling is knowing why it’s there to start with. Working with Umar enabled me to see inside myself and find the answer to that question - “Why?”    

Each session with Umar left me feeling like I was discovering the inner truths within me. Establishing a connection with my subconscious enabled me to finally learn what I always wanted to know. A process of channelling and unloading deep thoughts that brought clarity to why those feelings of fear and anxiety were present to start with. Each time, those feelings were finally being freed from the cycle of self-doubt and timidity. With his voice as a guide, I was able to listen to the voices deep in my mind and understand their intention, their purpose. It was then that the fear and anxiety had lifted when met with thoughts surrounding a committed relationship. 

I would recommend Umar to anyone who struggles with internal conflict, needs someone to listen or receive coaching toward deeper self-discovery and understanding. After this experience, I feel more confident when managing my emotional reserve. I’ve never imagined feeling such a sense of Zen when thinking about the future — the first in a long time.’

“First, I’d like to thank Umar so much for all the time and effort he’s put into the sessions.

I have always had a fear of failure. For as long as I can remember I’ve been having this issue. This has held me back in life. And quite a bit to be honest. I’ve had tremendous amounts of stress and anxiety as result of being afraid of failing. Even when failing, I’ve had such a hard time handling these situations. I could go for hours, even days, feeling bad because of it. As a consequence, I’ve always worked harder to not fail and therefore also strived for perfect results to not have to encounter my inner demons.

Before a friend told me about it, I had never heard of NLP. I have only had the experience of traditional psychotherapy prior, so I didn’t know what to expect to be honest. After doing a bit of research online, I decided to reach out to Umar. One of the best decisions of my life!

From the start I felt I was in good hands during the sessions with him. He was amazing at building rapport and you instantly felt the trust which is important to have with someone who’s providing help. I got such a good introduction from him to the world of NLP and I felt that it was a great match with what I wanted out of the session to help tackle the issues I had. This is something that I’ve never felt traditional therapies have been able to do. These sessions took me deep within my unconscious mind where I not only found the solution but also the reason why I had this fear. It had been created within me in my childhood. To be able to find this out was just so amazing. Truly amazing.

Receiving the tools from Umar to repair the inner part of me that was so scared of failing has not only made me feel much less afraid, it has also changed my entire outlook on life.

I no longer feel that anxiety before beginning a new task, nor after, if I don’t deliver at a perfect standard. Although, perfection is something I will still strive for, I don’t feel bad if it doesn’t end like that. My workdays now feel easier and less stressful because of the sessions.

Umar truly helped me connect, or should I say reconnect, with myself in a way I never thought was possible. For the future I feel that I will be confident enough to take on more complex tasks and new projects. I am also happier and calmer. I am in control!

Receiving the NLP coaching from Umar has been a true pleasure. I can highly recommend Umar to help you find the real you.

“I had a commitment problem in my relationships for several years. After a few sessions with Umar I no longer have this problem.

Before my session, whenever I was in a relationship and if things were going well and I felt the relationship was getting serious, with the other person wanting to commit to me, I would manage to sabotage the relationship or break it off. It was a real pain for me because on the one hand, I wanted to be with the person I love and be happy, yet on the other, I had fears that held me back. I decided I no longer wanted to continue closing myself off from any progress in my relationships.

I was quite confident during my sessions with Umar as he was able to identify the real problem. I did not expect the cause of my problem to be so deep. He guided me in his sessions with both gentleness and kindness and I was surprised by the speed and efficiency of the results.

Today I'm no longer afraid of getting involved in a committed relationship. I can simply live and enjoy my relationship without fear. It's great and I feel relieved of such a huge burden.

I highly recommend Umar to anyone who experiences this type of internal conflict. In addition to his professionalism, he is very friendly and has a very kind personality.”

“I have struggled with self doubt at work for over a year and after working with Umar, my confidence and belief in myself has massively improved in all areas of my life. 

I work in a very detailed oriented job where I am responsible for managing the entire product database of my company. In the last year, I started to experience more and more anxiety about making a mistake and started doubting that I was good at my job. Before working with Umar, my self doubt became so bad that I started my work everyday imagining all the mistakes that I could make which would get me fired. 

Working with Umar has not only helped me identify what was at the roots of my fears but it helped me to reframe these unhealthy fears into something positive so that I can look forward to do my job. During our sessions Umar was very inquisitive and listened very attentively to everything I shared until he identified the cause of the problem. He also had a great sense of humour that made our collaboration enjoyable and something to look forward to. I really enjoyed working with him and I appreciated how thorough he was in investigating my issue. 

After working with Umar, I found my confidence in my job has returned and my self doubt disappeared completely. Surprisingly, I have also benefited from our sessions in other areas of my life and I have found that my confidence massively improved. I would definitely recommend anyone to work with him.”

“For 3 years I’ve had multiple fears when it came to driving. This prevented me from travelling to far and random places. After only 2 sessions, Umar was able to help me get rid of all of them.

Before I was stressing about driving to a lot of places where my family members and friends would want to go. I was mainly afraid I was going to make mistakes along the way to the destination and afraid of looking incompetent around them. I tried pushing myself through the fears although this helped in the short term, I was still afraid to look incompetent.

During the sessions with Umar he helped me address the root of the problem which stemmed from A childhood memory. He made me realise I was blessed with the people in my life, and I am enough. Umar helped me use humour and imagination to further see my fears as something simple.

Afterwards, I realised I have nothing to worry about, and I just need to just include strategies to improve my driving skills. Moving forward Umar has helped me increase my quality of life by making me aware that life is to be enjoyed by loving yourself and seeing that others often want the best for you too.

I would highly recommend Umar to anyone with blocks or limitations that they have put on themselves about anything. He is very helpful and knows exactly how to address these issues. I am very thankful to him for a better outlook on life. This is something Umar helped me realise and is a gift to me.”

“I had built up fear and anxiety thinking that I’d forgotten how to drive properly as I hadn’t driven for about 7 years. After working with Umar this fear and anxiety is gone.

I would get stressed, clench my teeth and get tense before setting off and stay that way during each short drive. I’m generally a very confident person so this was really out of character and out of my comfort zone so I wanted to get over the fear that was holding me back from driving confidently as I used to. 

Although I tried pushing through the fear myself, I was making very slow progress.

When I met Umar, I knew he could help with this and more (I’m quite stubborn and rarely wanted help, but was aware there are some things I just couldn’t fully do alone). Rebuilding my confidence with driving was the first hurdle I wanted to overcome. I knew it would have a knock-on effect in other areas of my life if I could conquer this one thing.

After working with Umar, I was taking bigger risks without feeling stressed and reaching my driving goals, even with minor hiccups. 

With Umar’s help now, I don’t get panicked at all, even when I haven’t driven for a few weeks. I am confident driving unknown cars now too.

I highly recommend working with Umar to deal with anything that is holding you back from fully being your best self. His caring and friendly approach makes the self-exploration comfortable and safe, so you can really dig deep to the source and solve it.

“For 2 years I had a fear my start-up venture wouldn’t grow on schedule and I'd struggle financially. After one session with Umar, I replaced the fear with optimism and trust which helped me stay focused; he helped me get my productivity back.

Before working with Umar my fear was causing a lot of time and energy wasting. This resulted in a lack of focus and also sadness because I was worried I might fail and struggle financially. I didn’t have any hesitation working with him because he had helped me in the past to overcome other challenges in the past. I went ahead with assurance that I would get the results I wanted and needed.

What makes Umar different from other coaches is that he doesn’t impose solutions or recommendations but elegantly and effectively guides you to find the right answers and solutions to your problem. Your sessions with him are both interesting and exciting. You also receive additional benefits outside the scope of the problem being addressed that helps you with your overall personal development. Whether the problem is solved in one session or more, every session is truly valuable!

As soon as I realised the change I wanted had occurred it was a moment of both clarity and satisfaction like when everything suddenly makes sense. It’s a blessing. His ability to show you multiple perspectives on a problem is extremely valuable. The guy is so knowledgeable that by the end of the session you feel like you’ve had a four-course meal on personal development.

After working with him I had replaced the limiting belief which caused the fear with an empowering one. This resulted in my having a more positive approach to life and my business. The fear I previously felt was replaced with a feeling of confidence and optimism. The impact on my life afterwards was my feeling more confident, happier in myself and also more productive as a result.

I have no hesitation recommending Umar to anyone wanting help to change limiting beliefs or whatever topic you need help with because of the impact and benefits I know you will gain from working with him.”

“Before working with Umar, I had a fear of what other’s might think about my decisions regarding my career path. After two sessions the fear was gone and I made the decision I wanted for myself, applying for a role that was right for me without hesitation.

Before I took the step to start coaching with Umar I had struggled to sleep & been calling friends and family for help.

What I loved most about working with Umar is the consistency and structure that his sessions take. In addition, it’s a safe place where I could express myself and ask questions.

I selected very carefully who I wanted to work with on this problem. For me, I chose Umar because of his track record of achieving results, experience working with fears and his understanding of effective NLP coaching strategies.

If you’re willing to take 100% responsibility for your life and make changes, Umar is the person you need to see to exponentially defeat your fears. I highly recommend anyone with any fears to work with him as he helped me get over mine!”
