Client Testimonials

Here is a small selection of some of the testimonials I have received over the years from a variety of 1-2-1 clients, which cover a wide range of problems, challenges and issues:

Fear of Illness

"I have always worried about health problems, especially the fear of getting cancer. Hope, happiness and positivity seemed distant to me for many years, but in just 5 sessions with David Rose, I feel like I have learned how to deal with my fear of illness rationally, now.

The environment in which our sessions took place was just perfect. The one to one approach made me feel 'special', in the sense that David is a very kind, caring and genuine person, who's sole aim was to help me, no matter what.

Before, I would get so worked up and the anxiety and stress of it would reflect on my physical being. Now I can approach things differently, mentally, therefore it benefits me physically. A dark cloud that has been following me for many years has finally lifted and the sun is shining.

I went to see David when I was desperate for help and he has transformed me. I am totally grateful to him and thank him from the bottom of my heart - and may God bless him and his family with all the good things in life."

Fear of Flying

"I have had a fear of flying for nearly as long as I can remember and no amount of talking about it, or trying to understand why, has ever helped. It seemed that it was something I would either just have to live with, or never get on a plane again.

Well, thanks to working with David Rose, I flew to France in September and I can honestly say that, apart from a few mild stomach flutters during some turbulence, I really enjoyed the whole experience. I actually looked forward to my holiday, whereas, up until then I had only ever felt complete dread at the very thought of having to get on a plane.

David made the session feel so comfortable and informal. Right from our initial conversation, I felt understood and safe in the knowledge that he knew exactly how he could help me.

I am planning more trips abroad for this year and it’s with thanks to David that I can do this without apprehension. It really is amazing; the whole session with him felt so relaxed and easy - and now I’m not scared of getting on a plane anymore!

I will certainly be recommending him to friends and colleagues and, should I need help with any other areas in my life, David will be the first person I contact.

Public Speaking

"It was amazing. After our session, I felt different about the whole teaching thing. I had an inner confidence and, later on, I sat and wrote down lots of thoughts about working with the students; how to cope and so on.

I knew that I was going to be ok and that I had it all in me, whereas before I was trying to search for the courage and the ability to cope from outside of me, somewhere else.

For the rest of the week I was totally confident about it all and, on the day of my first class, I felt completely chilled about the whole thing.

As a result I was able to pitch my teaching right, finding the inner confidence that gives you as a teacher an air of authority, without losing friendliness and humour. I was chuffed to bits. This week was just as good and I haven't lost any confidence.

I can't thank you enough, you really turned me around. I've been talking about you to the people on my teacher training course, because they know a bit about NLP, and I have been singing your praises.

When I want some more help, I know where to come. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!"

Blushing

"Dear Mum and Dad,

I had a better day at school today, thank you, and I didn't go red! For once! Well, I just went a bit pink, but no one could notice - I don't think so anyway.

Thank you both soooo much for letting me go to that thing with that man. He's really helped me. Thank you loads.

Lots and lots of love, from Emily."

Phobia

"For as long as I can remember I have been afraid of birds; big ones, small ones, any bird. When I went out I would cower in shop doorways crying and making a right fool of myself, but there was nothing that I could do to get over it.

When I had my children, they would run in front of me to chase the pigeons away, as walking through an outdoor shopping centre was an absolute nightmare for me. When I was driving and birds came flying down towards the car, I would close my eyes and duck - how I never had an accident is beyond me. If I had a dream about birds, I would wake up crying and screaming, convinced they were in the room with me.

Two years ago, my phobia got so bad that I would not go out and sit in my garden. Walking down to the local shop, I would walk in the middle of the road, as there were a lot of pigeons about at that time. Then my husband and two friends decided that we would go on holiday to Barcelona and everyone told me about the birds there and that it would not be a good idea for me to go.

At that point, I decided enough was enough and I had to try and do something about it and get help. A friend gave me the name David Rose and told me to ring him, as he was sure he could help me. Three weeks before going to Barcelona and not holding out much hope, I rang David and arranged to go and see him. After my session with him, I waited to see what would happen. That night, I dreamt that I had a duck sitting on my lap and I was stroking it - and I didn’t wake up crying. This gave me hope. From that moment there has been no turning back.

We went to Barcelona and I walked through pigeons and seagulls, all sorts of birds, and I was fine. My husband was amazed at what I was doing. There is a square in Barcelona, like Trafalgar Square and, although I couldn’t walk into the centre of it, as the birds were landing on people to be fed, I did walk round the edges and was not afraid. We have also bought a convertible, which I would never have done before, so afraid was I that the birds would come in beside me.

I have just spent another holiday by the sea and the pigeons and seagulls did not frighten me. As I saw David eighteen months ago, my conclusion is that I am cured. I have David to thank for that."

Confidence

"David Rose has helped me through a really hard time. Before I started my NLP sessions, I had lost confidence in myself and my ability to perform.

After just 4 sessions with David, I feel completely transformed.

My inner confidence has returned and I have found my love for performing and learning again.

I cannot thank him enough for what he has done, and highly recommend him."

Letting Go Of Past Difficulties

"David Rose is a gifted coach, teacher and therapist. I have benefited greatly from working with him and the sessions have made a real and lasting difference to my life and my career.

I have found the unique way in which he uses his NLP and coaching skills to be the perfect resource for catapulting my own development.

The one-to-one sessons with David have lead to tangible results, in terms of my improved state of mind and confidence, and they have allowed me to easily overcome what I considered to be deep rooted historical ‘baggage’.

Since working with him, I now have a new confidence and assurance which I would not have previously thought possible.

Whether it’s through one-to-one coaching, attending his workshops and courses, or buying and using his products, I am certain the time you spend working with David Rose - in whatever capacity - will be one of the best investments you can make in yourself and in your future… enjoy!”

Motivation

"For the past seven years, I have often toyed with the idea of setting up my own business and becoming my own boss. I knew that if I put my mind to it, I could do it. In September 2006, I signed up for an NLP session with David Rose, to help me deal with my problem of not being able to stay motivated.

We began by talking about what I wanted from life, where I wanted to be and what was stopping me from achieving everything I wanted. David somehow managed to put me at ease immediately, so that I felt able to speak freely, without fear of judgement, criticism, or ridicule. Already it seemed a weight was being lifted from my shoulders - and it never felt like a therapy session. It was more like talking to a friend, with David using perhaps the most important skill of all - his ability to listen and then say just the right thing.

I'm not saying my life changed completely that day, but I do believe that changes started to take place. I still have moments of doubt and loss of motivation, but the main difference now is that I know how to get my motivation back.

I would highly recommend David Rose as an NLP Coach and as someone to talk to. There is an air of calm and tranquility within the sessions he facilitates, and it is a time in which you feel you can truly be yourself and discover the things you need to know, to help you move forward.

With David you always feel you are in a safe environment and that you are not being judged. In my opinion, this is paramount to the success of this kind of work and a testament to the sheer professionalism and love that David puts into his work."
