Terence Watts' early years were extremely fragmented in many ways, the upshot of which was problems with anxiety and self-confidence. This resulted in a highly colourful early employment record which included: TV and Radio engineer, tailor, postman, rock 'n' roll guitarist, carpet layer, furniture salesman, electronic engineer, fire extinguisher salesman, ballroom dance teacher, computer programmer, computer games writer - he found it difficult to stay in one situation for very long and always felt that he was searching for his 'niche'.
Then, when all who knew him had shaken their heads in despair a good few times, he discovered via a study course that he was more than 'a bit of a whiz' in the fascinating field of the human mind. Qualifying as a professional therapist in 1989, he soon had a full appointment book as well as being in demand for lectures in the UK and abroad, including Asia and the USA.
Writing about the human mind comes as easily to Terence as working with it; his self-help 'Warriors, Settlers & Nomads' book has helped many thousands of people now, and continues to be in demand by both therapists and 'ordinary' people alike. His newest effort is '7 Ways and 7 Days to Banish Your Anxiety', based on the programme he devised to deal effectively with all forms of anxiety. With more than 35,000 session hours behind him, and first-hand experience of the problem, you can be certain that he knows what he's talking about.
Terence is the owner of the Essex Institute of Clinical Hypnosis and the Founder/Chair of the Association for Professional Hypnosis and Psychotherapy.
