Recent comments from Retreat attendees about Charles' session

Unbelievably empowering. I just felt a difference after speaking to him and like I can do this. He is crucial to the Retreat experience
Becky Toms

The most intelligent man and explanation of my disorders I have ever come across. How Charles explains anxiety, the science and everything around it is incredible. I didn't want his session to end
Marissa K

If you have the opportunity to just sit and listen to Charles talk, do it. In 40 years of psychotherapy and psychology, I have never heard such incredibly eloquently positioned common sense. I didn't have to say a word, Charles said it all, without hesitation or pregnant pause and it was life changing. Unbelievable.
‍Kay. R

What an inspiration he is! He connects very well with clients and you realise he has gone through the same anxiety. Thank you so much for spending the time talking to us in a small group
Kieran Broom

Life changing. Charles' experience and knowledge is unbelievable but more than that, it makes so much damn sense
David Irvine

Very informative. I think the opportunity to meet the founder of the organisation is a great touch. The advice Charles gave me helped me to connect the dots
Aaron Barnes

Charles group session helped me immensely, I felt amazing afterwards. He explains everything so well and ensures all of your questions are answered
Phoebe

Charles should be minister for mental health. I have had anxiety for over 40 years and I have seen hundreds of people over those years. In a couple of hours the relief was overwhelming. Never before have I felt so empowered and 'well'. Charles needs to get to ever sufferer
Karen Jackson

Although I hadn't thought of questions previously, I had lots once I arrive. He was really informative and I was amazed at how much research he had done which reassured me that this method will work. Really inspirational
Zoe Wild

Charles was brilliant, caring, funny and informative. I feel privileged to have met him

“The dramatic transformations we experience in a couple of days are overwhelming…

Left: Retreat guests on the final day – Dave arrived anxious and would never have previously even considered being flown home in a helicopter piloted by his son, Ian – on day three he lifted off from the Elms with a beaming smile on his face.

Anxiety, panic attacks, OCD, PTSD and agoraphobia sufferers walk into our Anxiety Recovery Retreats and just a couple of days later, as confident, well-informed people, they don’t want to leave because of the friendships they have forged and the remarkable recoveries and relief they have experienced.

Many of our Anxiety Recovery retreat clients feel compelled to leave testimonials, send videos and letters; some, well known Retreat clients feel compelled to talk to the Media about their experiences; like Jemma Kidd, Plum Sykes and Rupert Young… selfless people who feel compelled to help others because of their own experiences.

Thank you to all the people from around the world for their support in making our Anxiety Recovery Retreat, what we believe to be, the most curatively successful and supportive anxiety elimination program in the World. If you want to read or view some of those comments… CLICK HERE

Clients fly from Australia, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Russia and South Africa to benefit from what we do… this is the best investment anyone could make in their recovery; I wish I had had this facility when I was anxious.

James Clarke (ITV TV) talks about his experience at the Retreat

As a result of attending the Retreat and recovering, James is now an ITV news presenter and was awarded Best New Talent at The Royal Television Society Awards in 2014James came to the Anxiety Recovery Retreat in 2012.

Here he talks about his and his mum’s experience and the recovery he made.

James returned to the Retreat to talk to new clients, deciding to arrive a day early, hence his comment about being there for 5 days.

Recovery is so close, even when symptoms and thoughts seem so overwhelming…

“I challenge anyone to find anything like this anywhere else in the world. When I see the dramatic results we create in people in just four days, I just wish that I could have had access to these amazing programs when I was anxious. If you suffer from high anxiety and don’t do this, you are missing something magical and something we all find so wonderful to be part of.

I developed this Retreat to be the opposite of all other residential anxiety programs, providing comfort, support, reassurance, guidance and real recovery… I never wanted anyone to endure what I did when I was anxious… I truly believe that I have achieved just that.”

The Retreat venue is comfortable, relaxed and homely, offering clients the perfect environment for recovery and they can be accompanied by family members, including children if required.

All recovery programs include ongoing support and guidance for ‘life after anxiety’ by our trained life coaches and specialists if required… usually, it is not.

Will Young and his brother Rupert

Rupert Young, Founder of The Mood Foundation & brother to Will Young changed his life at the Retreat

Thank you for helping me to get my life back...

I just don’t know where the weeks have gone. Not least because of my jam packed social life since overcoming my anxiety! For which, by the way, I am most grateful to both yourselves and to the entire team at the retreat. I genuinely cannot tell you how much my life has changed, and I will always be so thankful to you all. I hope you don’t mind, but I thought that I would give you an update on things, since I attended the retreat in March 2016.

Anxiety and me – one year on.

Well, the first thing to say is that it is no longer ‘anxiety and me’. It is now just ‘me’ – there is no anxiety and my life has totally changed as a result. I attended the retreat in March 2016 in a desperate bid to learn how to become ‘better’. Well actually, it was my Mum who was so desperate for change.

After spending around 6 months in a constant and hyper state of anxiety, I had resigned myself to the fact that this was just how life was going to be, and that I would never be relaxed or happy ever again I remember arriving at the retreat like it was just yesterday. And I remember specifically thinking ‘why are all these other people here – they don’t look remotely anxious’. My anxiety manifested itself in many, many physical symptoms and I was at the point where I barely wanted to speak or even look at anyone else. All the other clients appeared to be chatting freely and openly and I remember thinking that it wasn’t going to do anything for me. After all, how could it when I was so much worse than anyone else?!!! Well, how wrong could I have been! Now I am not saying that I came away completely cured – that process took a few weeks, but straight away I contacted my boss about returning to work on a phased return and on the 4 May 2017 I will have been back in work for a year. Yes a whole year! And since I returned to work I haven’t experienced one panic attack or one episode of inappropriate anxiety.

So what has changed?

Ben and I have been on holiday together with friends and their children and on a separate occasion have been away with my parents. We have one holiday booked for this year and am currently looking at booking another. I am meeting and seeing friends all the time and enjoying every moment of all of it. Of course horses still play a big part and I can really feel the difference when I haven’t ridden. It is absolutely my therapy and I just love it. I am still working on getting Ben to buy me one – although that might take a bit longer to achieve!! But probably most significant of all we have just re-started the (long) process of IVF in a bid to have our own family.

We had just started this when I was then signed off of work and I couldn’t bear the thought of going through it. In fact, our struggle to have a family was very much a part of the driving force behind my anxiety. Now however, I cannot wait to start the process and am positive and excited about what it might bring. And successful or not, I know that I will never return to being the anxious person that I once was. I know that our life will be fulfilled And for that I am incredibly and truly, truly grateful to you all. I would absolutely love to come back to the retreat and spend some time with clients, showing them just what can be achieved when you put into practice what you learn over those few days. If you would be happy to have me then please just let me know when I could come. It is something that I would very much like to do. I passionately agree with all that you teach and 100% believe in it. I hope you both, and the rest of the team are well, and I look forward to hearing from you.

But in the meantime please pass on my thanks to all at the retreat for the amazing work you do, and for helping me to get my life back!

Kind Regards

Sarah Masters
