“For over 15 years I had been suffering with sleep problems. I found Rapid ChangeWorks in a random Google search but I hit the jackpot! Howard is a highly intelligent and empathetic professional. I was expecting ‘look into my eyes’ and pendulum swinging hypnosis, but there was none of that. He taught me to understand my thought processes and how to subtly change them. After two sessions, I can evaporate sleep anxiety and sleep naturally. My pattern has changed from having the occasional good night’s sleep, to having just an occasional bad night’s sleep. That’s normal – and pretty amazing! Thank you Howard.”

“Based on my own experience, I’d fully recommend Howard to anyone who is having unhelpful thoughts or in who is an anxious state of mind. I had two sessions with Howard and he educated me in several concepts and ideas which have helped me reduce and manage anxious and negative thoughts with much more success than before. Fully recommend!”

WOW, at long last I found something that works for me. A smoker who started smoking in his teens and carried on for nearly 30 years until January 2020 when I met Howard. I stopped smoking after only 1 session and have never needed to look back and this was all possible through the technique that Howard uses.

I have previously tried everything under the sun from patches, gums, going cold turkey and listening to a cd by a famous hypnotherapist however none of them have been as effective as Howard. I no longer get the urge to smoke however on the odd occasion when I do, my mind and body corrects this straightaway. I am not only improving my health but also my bank balance!

I am ever so grateful that I found Howard who with his talent has changed not only my life for the better but also the people who are around me. I would highly urge you to give Howard a chance to help you and would recommend his exceptional services.

I was really excited about seeking help from Howard in regards to my anxiety and most of all my anxious driving that had almost restricted me completely from driving anywhere new, this didn’t just affect myself but also my children.

Howard is so friendly and professional and totally put me at ease.

After the sessions I had I really did feel different and have gone on to be so much more confident in ALL aspects of my life!

I am incredibly grateful to Howard for what he has done for me and can’t recommend him enough!! ?

After suffering increasing anxiety about a multitude of things, I had often wanted to try hypnotherapy and life coaching sessions. I have always been a strong my need person and with Howard’s help I have been able to tap into that strength and use the mindfulness techniques he went through with me.

I have been able to get through an MRI (feelings of claustrophobia) and walk over a bridge at height (fear of heights) and feel able to tackle a number of issues that were causing day to day anxiety.

I’m very grateful to have found Howard and would definitely recommend his services for those being held back from their full potential in life by anxiety.

I came to see howard for some quite serious health anxiety. I have always had anxiety but this particular period was quite severe and have left me not only anxious but also experiencing some depression. I was very sceptical that I could see a change after only one session but after the 1.5hrs I spent with Howard I went from feeling 100 on a scale of anxiety to 25 in a matter of hours. I have since seen Howard for a follow up session and I highly recommend him to anyone suffering with anxiety or a phobia – I promise you he can help.

Hi my name is Mark and I went to see Howard regarding a problem I’ve had for years… INSOMNIA… not sleeping! On first meeting Howard I liked him straight away, his approach is somewhat different and I would say unique. I’ve seen many Hypnotherapists before, but Howard makes you see things in a different way, completely changing your outlook of problem. It is what is says on the tin, rapid change! Very intelligent man and fun to work with and I can honestly say after two sessions, you come out feeling very much different and 100% better and more positive, thank you Howard was a joy to meet you, and I would fully recommend you for anyone that wants a fast change in there life, it worked for me.

I first suffered from a bout of viral labyrintitus in 2008. I was, during that period, sometimes unable to walk without clinging on to lamp posts and walls. That condition came and went for many years until, in September 2018 I went seriously “wonky” again. I have an office on the 16th floor with floor to ceiling windows and after 5 months of no issues, suddenly I was unable to sit at my desk, would resort to sitting on the floor, and had the absolute certainty that I would be falling out of the glass wall, despite, mentally knowing that this couldn’t happen. In addition to this sudden re-appearance of vertigo, I had a work-trip to the US looming which I had to attend.

My first steps were maybe what most people would take – firstly, I booked myself onto a Fear of Flying Course, a full day in Heathrow, including a flight, I then saw a vestibular specialist, who referred me to another “more senior” specialist, who eventually prescribed medication.

The medication was prescribed a week before my flight to the US and I was in tears of desperation at that appointment, knowing the medication would take 6 weeks to kick in and I had a flight in 5 days.

I then found Howard.

Two sessions later, so within a total of 3 hours, I found tools that meant I could get on the flight, be calm, know for absolute certain that I could deal with that flight and the apprehension prior to it, and that’s exactly what happened.

I flew home on an early Monday morning, returned to my office on Tuesday, and am sat by my window, happily looking onto the London landscape, without a wobble, a sweat or a fear in my head. I am not taking any medication.

I was 100% skeptical about “hypnotism”. I am a solicitor, I don’t go for gimmicks and I always think a “qualified doctor” is best. I do not believe in miracle cures.

However, I would encourage anyone to make an appointment with Howard, whether that is for a fear of flying, heights, spiders, or any other issue.

I genuinely feel liberated and powerful to be able to cope with my vestibular condition, vertigo, and absolute fear of flying exacerbated by a medical condition, and incredibly grateful to have found him.

I met with Howard nearly 2 years ago to tackle my fear of traffic jams and I wanted to let you know that it worked a treat and I can happily spend time sitting in traffic jams. I fact, I believe without your help, I would have become a hermit by now. However since the session, I’ve now driven all over the country alone for work, Scotland, Cumbria, Northumberland, completely free of fear. The session with you really changes my life. Thank you.

[Copied from a postcard from a “now ex-phobic” flyer!]

I’m writing this from San Francisco. Thank you so much for your help. The flight was amazing and I can’t quite believe that it was so good. I can’t wait to go to travel the world! Thank you again.

Having smoked for 35 years and having failed on a number of occasions to give up, I went to see Howard and after just one session I no longer had the urge to smoke. Even more surprising was just 2 weeks later I realised that I was thinking of myself as a non-smoker. That was 2 years ago and having not smoked at all since that first session, I am now happier and healthier than I have been in a long time.

I honestly can’t thank Howard enough. After spending years of dealing with NOT being able to control my anger/temper and letting that control me AND effect the people around me, I finally decided to do something about it.

I’ve previously had counselling and CBT but it hadn’t been helpful (and almost made it worse). I felt lost, but a friend recommended Howard and his methods (and mentioned that he had helped her).

Straight away, from the first 20 minute chat, Howard summed me up perfectly and I felt confident and comfortable talking to him. I arranged the first session face to face and was blown away by how it session went. In fact, I had a 5 hour journey to reflect on it and again was amazed, it wasn’t what I was expecting but it was better.

We arranged the second session via zoom due to travel and this went very well again. I just can’t get over how easy Howard is to talk to and it truly feels that he understands you and how you think.

I can’t recommend Howard highly enough, especially to any men out there struggling to admit they have a problem and struggling to reach out and do something about it. Don’t be ashamed to seek help, it’s not a weakness, it’s a strength!

I am very stubborn person and as I look back I wish I had reached out to Howard sooner. Howard again thank you so much for your help I honestly can’t thank you enough.

I just wanted to reach out and say thank you. I try to think about our conversations and pinpoint the one thing you did or said that made it all click and to be honest I can’t. But it has now been 4 months since we last spoke and still no binges or even urges to do so.

When I notice myself getting full or no longer enjoying the taste of what I am eating – I just stop! As simple as that! I do not feel the urge to push through the pain until my plate is finished nor the urge to resist the leftover food by immediately throwing it out to make it inedible. I can for the first time in years sit comfortably with a plate of food in front of me and not feel the need to eat it or resist eating it.

My quality of life has massively improved as I am not scheduling my days around my eating and trying to skip meals so that I can “indulge and enjoy” my planned meal that evening. I eat when I’m hungry and don’t eat when I am not – sounds so simple yet I don’t know why I never managed to do this until now!

So thank you again Howard for massively improving my life,

“When I contacted Howard I felt like I had tried absolutely everything to get rid of my anxiety and panic attacks. Howard has taught me that I don’t have to get rid of the feelings, but I can notice them and let them pass naturally. I have been a lifelong mouth breather and his technique to help me learn to nose breathe to stop feelings of panic has seen almost instant results. It’s amazing! I still have things that I am working on but It’s been a real revelation for me. Nothing is too much trouble for Howard. He makes himself available to answer questions, provide additional information and advice. He is extremely caring and kind and has a genuine love and passion for helping people. I cannot recommend Howard highly enough. I only wish I had found him earlier.”

I had a fear of flying… AND I also had 6 flights booked in a 1 month span. To say I was freaking out was an understatement! I had an initial phone call with Howard Cooper then ‘umm’d’ and ‘ahh’d’ and realised that it was worth a try.

Well… it changed my life!!! We had 2 Skype sessions as I live in Miami and he was even so gracious to give me a top up when I made it (comfortably and calmly) to London. I can’t recommend him highly enough, if you’re considering it… DO IT!

As an expat, flying is something that I cannot avoid if I want to stay an active member of my family and I also wasn’t prepared to let a fear control my life. I’m so happy I did it and am forever grateful for what the opportunity has given me.

I had a fear of flying which I always knew was only in my head, however my anxiety would affect me and it was taking its toll… and then I met Howard Cooper. I was very sceptical at first as most people are, however, I can personally tell you hypnotherapy does work and Howard is a genius. I would recommend him to anyone for anything, as I feel he can help so many people overcome any fear or anxiety etc

I have suffered from anxiety for many years. My mind was paralysed by thoughts of what would happen if I tried to attempt anything. Then I contacted Howard. After 3 hours (over 2 sessions) I am now able to get on with things and am now getting much more out of life. If you are suffering from anxiety, please do not hesitate to contact Howard. He can really help.

Having been scared/petrified of dogs for my entire life and as long as i could remember, at 36 and now a mother of 2 small children, I wanted to make sure i didn’t pass my fears and anxieties to them. I was sceptical of being ‘fixed’ in a short space of time but then I met Howard.

Within an a couple of sessions with him (I’m not sure how) – he has compartmentalised this fear completely – I’m not a fan of dogs and a dog will never be my ‘best friend’ but I NO LONGER get that horrible feeling knocking on the door of somewhere and hearing a dog bark, I have no anxiety or issues being around dogs, them jumping up on me, licking me or otherwise.

It has totally revolutionised my life and I’m no longer scared of going to parks in the summer. I have since recommend Howard to anyone who will listen to me! Great guy, great results.

I have suffered with emetophobia (fear of sick) amongst other anxieties for 26 years & tried lots of different methods to help me overcome my phobia.

I was recommended to Howard by a friend who had recently seen him to overcome her own phobias. After an initial free telephone consultation I could sense Howard had a different approach to others people I had previously seen.

He kindly fitted me in quickly as I had an upcoming holiday which was making my anxiety extremely bad. After my first session, I managed to go on holiday and definitely felt much calmer than I had in the previous 6 months.

A few weeks later I had a second session and discovered a number of new ways to deal with the anxiety and phobias that have been taking over my life for so long and most importantly a new way of looking at it all.

I’m positive that these new methods will see me deal with my anxiety in a much more manageable way. Thank you Howard.

Working for six years for a complete bully left me suffering from panic attacks in the work environment, which soon spread to other situations. CBT and NLP helped me manage them but they never went away and avoidance of situations that might cause them was often an easier option, meaning that I was limiting the things I did as a result.

When I was referred to Howard I was sceptical that after so long he could cure me but it took him all of 1.5 hours and the panic attacks have completely gone. Don’t believe that you have to suffer. Howard really can help you and your life will change for the better.

Dear Howard,

I thought you might be interested in my progress. I have just returned from three weeks cycling in France during which, my wife and I, visited the original place where my fear of heights/ sheer edges first manifested itself.

The place is the Cirque de Navacelles, an amazing huge hole in the ground caused by erosion, with very sheer sides – it is entered and left by roads that descend steeply clinging to the sheer edges. I am attaching a photo showing the road used on the way in from the rim, taken from our road out on the opposite side.

We first visited in 1995 when I cycled down rather slowly on the left side of the road, as close to the cliff face as possible, absolutely terrified, while my wife cycled ahead of me on the (correct) right hand side of the road in case traffic came. This time I descended reasonably normally on the right side of the road next to the edge without difficulty. I won’t pretend I was unaware of the drop but I was comfortable with it which is quite something!

Thanks very much for your help in achieving this – it hasn’t been seriously tested since I came to see you 2 years ago!

Best wishes

I cannot believe the changes in myself after just one session. After many many years of living in my small world I am already beginning to feel more confident about driving and flying and feel ready to do things I haven’t been able to do for many years.

My life is changing for the better every day and the strategies you helped me to put in place are working.

I would not hesitate in recommending you to anyone wanting help to overcome their issues.
