Husband and Wife issues

Nilesh and Monique P April 2018

Nilesh: "I had a havening session with Mark to help manage a long standing issue following a traumatic event in my life.

After the session I felt fully re-energised and lighter, with all of my positivity returned. I no longer feel any anxiety to the traumatic event, and wish I had known of this therapy a long time ago.

My wife has also had havening therapy to help her, and I would highly recommend Mark."

Monique:

"I had a havening session with Mark and I have to say it was an amazing experience. I have felt so positive and energised since. All issues that I had and any bad emotions I felt towards certain situations have seen to have disappeared!

It really is a rebalance of emotions that I once would have reacted negatively to but now find that things just don't bother me anymore and I am so much more positive!

I highly recommend this therapy. Mark is simply brilliant!!"

Fibromyalgia

I was in absolute agony with a Fibromyalgia attack recently with a 2 hour car drive to look forward too. Although it was not an ideal situation, Mark took me aside for a Havening session. In literally 15 minutes I was virtually pain free, astonished, but completely comfortable with the drive home. The more I learn about Mark, the more talents I uncover which are threaded together with one theme - the effects of the human mind. I am continuing to have Havenings sessions with him. whilst working with him in other areas too. Very pleased to wholeheartedly recommend Mark.

Havening help for Depression

"If you met me, you would see me as a confident, happy young woman. You would see me as strong willed, compassionate, energetic and inspired person. You would see me as a hard working thriving individual with a thirst for knowledge and an enthusiasm for life. This is all true, but I have a very hidden and very lonely dark side too. Although that is all beginning to change. I had been looking to find answers to help me deal with anxiety, depression and although being very close to my Dad, had a broken relationship with my Mum for a long time. As with any close relationships, my emotions took over when looking for solutions and the cycle of reconciliation with the need for answers made building a relationship with my mother impossible and the reoccurring anxiety and depression seemed like a life long prospect. Life went on and I learned to accept this as a never ending situation that was just going to have to be hidden from those around me because I was embarrassed of what I saw as my own failings. Three years ago, my anxiety increased and after a week of sleepless nights and endless negative thinking, I took an overdose of beta blockers and almost stopped my own heart. I didn't think much of it at the time, things picked up, no one found out and I was able to start to forget. Until the cycle came round again. I had taken part in a Havening demo with Mark and spoke to him about Havening for the issues I had been having with my relationship with my mum and the anxiety I was experiencing. It took a few hours and I discussed for the first time how I felt about my life. At first I wasn't sure if I had done the right thing. Until things started to change. I now see my mum twice a month at least and we have been out on our own for the first time for many years. We text and are both building a relationship. I stopped looking for why things were wrong and as a result I have found solutions. I am so grateful for this, I have been able to speak openly for the first time about anxiety and depression and have found great support from my family. My anxiety is not gone, but I no longer fear the dark places it has taken me before. I know there is a possibility that the depression and anxiety will reoccur. But I now find solutions instead of trying to reason with problems. I believe that Havening helped me to release the built up negative emotions I had been storing up. I would highly recommend Mark as a Certified Havening Techniques® Practitioner. His work has made a huge difference not only to my relationships but also my life. So thank you Mark. You deserve every success."

Anxiety from childhood removed

Mark used Havening to challenge a disturbing incident from my childhood. This incident when I was nine would regularly resurface causing anxiety. Following Havening the event has no power over me and, although I think occasionally about it, there are no feelings attached. Thank you Mark Wingfield"

Martin

Director of a Housing Organisation uses Havening after a board meeting

"Mark is an inspirational multi dimensional consultant with many strings to his bow. The way he provided services to our business and then expanded his range to meet many of our other needs was very effective and went well beyond our expectations."

Paul

My daughter overcame her dog phobia through Havening

"Mark was a sensitive and intuitive Practitioner. He helped my daughter to overcome a fear of dogs that had plagued her for most of her life. I would recommend Mark to anyone that wants to be free from phobias and enjoy their lives to the full."

I had never heard of Havening...the issue I brought no longer exists for me

"I had never heard of Havening before Mark introduced me to the concept. Being a bit of a "seeker", I was intrigued to experience what Mark was offering and I can firmly say it really opened my eyes to complementary therapies. I'm not clear if Havening is a modern approach or if it's been around for a while, but for me, I really connected with Mark and the issue that I brought to the table no longer exists for me; that was due, in great part, to Mark's professional approach and the way he conducted the session. I'd thoroughly recommend Mark as a practitioner and I rate him highly."

Andy V

Needle phobia gone!

"I would recommend a session with Mark using the Havening techniques. Mark is very friendly, professional and quickly makes you feel at ease. I was a little sceptical at first that my fear of needles could be sorted forever in just an hour but honestly, I did! I have since been able to watch needles on TV and hold them in my hand -2 things I could never do before. I feel that I could definitely go & give blood too without fainting or bursting into tears. Its amazing. Trust him and be open to the technique and it could work for you too. Thank you Mark"

Rebecca N

Anxiety, night terrors and depresssion

I suffer with anxiety, night terrors and depression. I do not want to use prescription drugs as they can be addictive. I turned to Mark for help. Following face to face treatment he also took me through and sent me a self-havening sheet. I used this for 2 nights and last night I slept without any night terrors. I highly recommend Mark.

Sexual Assault

K.Williams on 12/04/2019

38 years ago I was a victim of sexual abuse and ever since the incident affected my life in a very negative way. I couldn't forget it, felt dirty and stigmatised. Recently I had an ADT session with Mark and after 30 minutes I felt very different. It feels like it was just a bad dream now I can't even recall the detail of what happened. It has made an amazing change to my life in a very positive way.
I no longer have any negative emotions about the incident and would recommend Mark to anyone who might have had a similar experience.

Thank you Mark

Being Stuck

I am deeply grateful to Mark for the empowering and hugely insightful coaching journey. As a result of our sessions I now have a fully fledged plan to fulfil one of my big hairy goals - "Bansko May 2022". Mark helped me visualise the details, answer specific questions and identify the tasks needed to make this a reality. Whilst I have had this vision for 2-3 years, it is only now that I feel this is achievable, as we set out the concrete actions.

Another gift from Mark was to use the Havening Techniques to remove the limiting beliefs which prevented me from taking bold action for my dreams. Thank you Mark! I can't recommend him enough for anybody who feels stuck or fearful about something.

Business Anguish

I am very happy to recommend Mark to anyone who suffers with any kind of emotional distress issue. I’ve had one session with Mark as I still had numerous bad feelings towards some people who wronged me. Despite legal win, I was still carrying this emotional baggage.

One session with Mark and all my bad feelings varnished. When I come across those people now I am able to look them in the eyes and smile. Thanks Mark for freeing me from that emotional burden.
All the best, Laura.

Student Anxieties

Mark worked with a friend of mine who was struggling with anxiety. He utilised Havening and this had dramatic effect after a single 90 minute session. My friend was facing a major new challenge but suffered no anxiety and sailed through the experience. This was an amazing turn around and I would thoroughly recommend Mark.

Marriage & Relationships

"Mark is a fantastic therapist and his calm, kind and professional manner is so supportive. Havening is an incredible therapy that has enabled me to recover from considerable trauma, abuse and grief. I am so grateful to Mark and so glad my counsellor recommended him. Mark's positive approach allows you to face your fears and take responsibility for your own healing. I would not hesitate to recommend Mark. "

Danish Nurse Janne recommends Mark as Practitioner and Trainer in Havening

I hereby give my best recommendation to Mark, both as a trainer and a practitioner of Havening Techniques®.
I came across Mark's training in early November 2022 and after a brief talk on the phone, I signed up for training during November 2022, and I am very glad I choose Mark, as he is highly professional and very empathetic person at the same time.
After the training I reached out to Mark, as I have an issue that has been haunting me my whole life.
I didn't know precisely when this trauma was born, but my whole life, I have had a really big issue around saying goodbye to close relatives and over the years more than that. It has been highly unconstructive, and totally out of my control, and also really hard for others to understand. It has made my life really complicated for many years, also since I am now in a long distance relationship and my kids are so big, that they travel away from home for several months some times, leaving mom with severe anxiety every time a "goodbye" is coming up...
Mark took on the challenge and with just two sessions and a lot of self-havening afterwards, I have now just been able to say goodbye to my daughter, who is a ski-instructor this winter and I wont see her in another 3 month. Before Havening I would have been totally in panic and would have cried several times before and during the "goodbye", so I cant even describe how happy I am now.
Before Havening I have tried everything else, talk-therapy, hypnosis, EFT tapping and nothing ever worked - so thank you Mark and Havening Techniques®. Can't wait to work with this amazing method professionally myself and help a lot of people!

Mark a Recommended Trainer in Havening

I attended a Havening Training with Mark in December of 2022. He conducted this training incredibly well. It was packed with information and yet fun. Mark is able to take the complex and present it in a very digestible way. That's a skill all of its own. I learned a lot and I look forward to learning more. I recommend training with Mark.

A Safe Haven to train in Havening

I trained with Mark just about one week ago. It was a truly inspiring experience! Mark created a safe environment for us and it made learning new concepts very easy, so I feel really confident to start using the Havening Techniques with my clients. The training was highly engaging and experiential, fun and tailored to our needs. Mark's ability to explain complex scientific concepts with extreme simplicity and ease, made it possible for me to deeply understand the neuroscience behind Havening. The training didn't stop after the assigned hours, Mark searched for material and scientific papers we were curious about and sent them to us, showing his high engagement towards his students' best learning. I highly recommend Mark's training, not only for his amazing skills as teacher and trainer, but also for his gentle and pleasant personality, which creates a safe haven for us to be curious and learn.

Fear of Water Removed

Mark recently invited me to experience the Havening technique, having had a lifelong fear of being out of my depth in water and fear of drowning.
I found the experience both relaxing and reassuring,afterwards I felt different immediately, Later that evening I arrived at My sons and they were watching Bear Grylls on an island with a team of people, anyway as the team dived off a boat into the sea, normally I start to feel anxious and when I watched them that night, I felt like I could have jumped in after them....
Wow! Thanks so much Bev Hopper.

Insightful & Nourishing

I met Mark at one of the first networking events I attended when I set up my own business 12 years ago. It was so nice to meet a friendly face! I love Mark's energy, tenacity and radar for opportunities to genuinely help people. He works with warmth and compassion and brings a heap of industry knowledge, skill and experience to all his projetcts. I attended Mark's Introduction to Havening webinar yesterday with my 15 year old daughter. It was an insightful and nourishing 45 minutes, very well spent. Professionally delivered and beautifully paced, with time for demonstrattion, impact in the moment, questions and reflections. Thank you and all the best Mark!

Self Havening with knowledge and patience

I did a Havening Webinar with Mark and after following his clear instructions of stroking my arms. My pain on my neck and shoulders dissappear! He is a practitioner with lots of knowledge and patience.

Shrunk my Distress

I met Mark virtually through PA Life and joined his recent webinar “Shrink my Distress” on Havening. With a methodical approach, this technique can be tried for any situation. Mark’s explanations hit the nail on the head for me. I would highly recommend his webinar, guide and follow-up.
With more research needed on Self-Havening through larger trials; there could be great potential for the NHS to save money, time, and aid recovery in the long term #mentalhealth #wellbeing #resilience

Anxiety Issues at University

Resolving Driving Issues from PTSD

Having struggled with severe panic attacks since being diagnosed with PTSD in 2016 I was limiting what I did in everyday life to prevent myself from being in one specific situation. This was having a major impact on myself, my family and my and development.

After trying out other therapies including CBT, EMDR and hypnotherapy I was improving but never got to the point where I could confidently put myself in that situation alone and know I would be ok.

Mark was the speaker at a Procure Partnerships Framework wellbeing event I attended a few months ago. His talk - which promised to help you feel lighter within the hour if you followed his guidance - lived up to its promise. As a result I decided to invest in an online 1:1 session last week.

After just an hour online 1:1 with Mark I was confident to test myself and try what I had been avoiding. This was amazing, and the relief I felt from having confidence in myself once again was immense.

During the session Mark put me at ease, he was understanding of the situation and respectful of what had got me to this point. I’m excited to continue to use these techniques myself and keep working on the problem until I am once again confident at driving in all situations.

A Psychotherapist's work so much easier with Havening

I tried a session with Mark for curiosity - I like to know about innovations in my field. Now I regularly send clients to Mark to help speed up their ability to self-regulate when stressed or anxious. For all, it has worked well, and for some it has worked spectacularly well. I can often see the physical tension has gone, even on video. for this reason, I imagine this technique would also help with pain.
As I recommend so many individually to Mark, and the results are so consistent, I thought it about time I gave him the credit publicly with a recommendation here. He makes my work so much easier.

Great to learn Self Havening

I attended an online session Mark team about self havening. It was well paced, & really useful to gain an understanding of the technique. Mark delivered sensitively and with humour a challenging subject.
I was amazed with the results in a very short space of time. Can't wait to try a face to face, longer session.
I would highly recommend a session if you're dealing with trauma or stress or need help in facing fears.
Thank you Mark.

Revealing Insight through Havening

Mark and his Havening skills had been recommended by a very close friend of mine who had recently lost her mum. I was curious but also unsure of what to expect and said as much to Mark. He explained the whole concept beautifully – succinct and to the point. What I really liked about Mark from the outset was the sense of being in a very safe and supportive space.

My topic was quite straightforward….or so I thought. I had a big meeting coming up with a mix of professional and family members and I was concerned about ensuring that my voice is heard at this meeting. This has caused me a lot of anxiety in the past and I wanted to move beyond this feeling of fear and being out of control and into a place of calm assertiveness.

Over our time together, Mark expertly talked me through the situation, asking probing questions but in a really gentle manner, and helped me arrive at a place where I could clearly visualise what a good outcome would look like for me.

What I am profoundly grateful to Mark for was a very revealing insight that my anxiety was largely related to an unspoken tension with another family member who will be at the meeting. There were unexpected tears at this point and yet the stroking motion on which havening is based really helped soothe and comfort me. Over the following couple of days I found the session gave me a really deep and cathartic release that I hadn’t even realised I needed.

Thank you Mark for such an enlightening and illuminating session

Coping with Social Anxiety and General Anxiety Disorder

I have been struggling with social anxiety and general anxiety disorder for many years, with help from Mark I have learnt some amazing techniques to help me cope, since learning these methods I feel I have the tools to cope for any stressful or anxious situations if it arises. Discussions with Mark regarding the issues I dealt with have been very professional, caring and extremely helpful. Mark has explained the science behind the techniques which helped me understand how it works. Would definitely recommend Mark to others who are dealing with similar disorders.

I could not cope - mental health issues helped with Havening

I have been struggling with mental health issues for over 10 years. I was at the point where I could not cope. I had Havening session with mark and WOW. My stress levels have drop to a point where I am coping with life.

Mark is amazing, professional, caring and fantastic human being.

Mark went through everything, explained how it works. Without any doubt I would definitely recommend Mark to others who suffer from all that comes mental health issues.

Life is Brighter with Havening

"I am going through a bit of a testing time at the moment. Mark was able to help me find a solution and a way forwards with a short Havening session today. Life looks a little brighter already".

Teenager Angst

When I first met Mark I was going through a tough period in my early life within sport and personal life. I was expressing my feeling negatively in all walks of life leading to angry out bursts that were holding me back.

In my first session I spoke with Mark open and honestly about the causes of my issues and how I was reacting. From the very first moment Mark helped me to understand what my actions were perceived as to others and how it might affect those closest to me. From there he taught me techniques that I had never seen or heard of before and I really started to see the difference both in my personal life and on the pitch as a goalkeeper.

By the end of my short time with Mark I had started to cancel anger and turn a blind eye to possible aggravation. When finding myself in a situation were I felt I couldn’t contain my feelings I would use the techniques and what I learnt in the sessions to defuse the situation whatever that may be. This has led to a long term calmer persona, more focused individual and a happier person in general.

Having discussed the sessions with close family they recalled the differences and the positive changes they saw on a day to day basis. Often saying I seemed less ‘frustrated and angry’.

Both me and my family would like to thanks Mark for the work he did with me as it really helped me to get through a important but rough emotional period of my life and has allowed me to exceed in later life to this day.

For anyone who is going through sudden and blinding burst of emotion they cannot control I would highly recommend Mark as he is highly professional, a great mentor/teacher and very knowledgeable.

Thanks again Mark

Phobia and much more shifted with Havening

If you've never heard of Havening before, you're not alone. But let me tell you - this is powerful stuff wrapped up in gentle packaging, and Mark is a masterful & trusted guide for the journey. With conscientious and deliberate care, he helped me to shift the association I had to a phobia that resulted from a "bad" experience in early childhood. In the course of a single session, not only did my association to the phobia shift (the reason I came) - but I was able to clearly see a bigger picture, digest the deeper emotional meaning behind the event, and re-claim an aspect of my personal power I didn't realize had been wounded for 40 years (what I left with).
