Transforming Lives: The Story Behind Magical Change

A Journey of Hope and Transformation

Ten years ago, I met a nine-year-old student, "A," who was struggling with severe anxiety that impacted every aspect of her life. Her anxiety had escalated to the point where she ended up in a hospital emergency department due to a panic attack. Determined to help, I spent 45 minutes talking with her, and then something extraordinary happened.

The Beginning of Magical Change

Within a week, A's anxiety symptoms began to diminish. After just two weeks, she confidently told me, "I don't think I'll ever be afraid of anything again in my life." This astonishing and rapid transformation marked the beginning of my journey to understand and develop what is now known as the Magical Change method.

Backed by Psychological Expertise

Intrigued by A's rapid progress, I sought to understand why the method was so effective. I consulted with an educational psychologist, a clinical psychologist, and a university psychologist specializing in children's mental health. Together, we connected the results to established psychological theories, validating the method's effectiveness.

Expanding the Impact: Helping More Children

I began applying the Magical Change method to other children experiencing similar issues, including those referred to CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services) for severe anxiety. I have now worked privately with over 150 children and young people, dealing with a range of challenges, other than anxiety, such as:

• Low Self-Esteem
• Lack of Focus
• Poor Social Skills
• Behavioral Issues
• Shyness
• ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder)
• Eating and Sleeping Disorders
• Anger Management
• Compulsions
• Bereavement

All of these children have shown significant and often rapid improvements, demonstrating the method's lasting impact on their lives.

A Solution for Growing Mental Health Challenges

As mental health challenges among young people have increased and resources have become stretched, I have sought to expand the reach of the Magical Change method. I have now successfully trained educators and child professionals across the UK and in other parts of the world to implement this approach with their clients and in their schools and communities. Every school could benefit from having someone trained in Magical Change to support their students' mental well-being.

Join the Magical Change Movement

I am inspired and humbled by the courage and resilience of the young people who have embraced the Magical Change method and transformed their lives. Now, it's time to share this powerful approach with an even wider audience. Online training and support in Magical Change has begun, so that anyone, anywhere, can access the means of helping young people to thrive.
