I genuinely love what I do…
There is nothing more rewarding than seeing someone walk into my clinic feeling trapped by anxiety or fear, then leave knowing they finally have a way forward.My
JourneyI'm Duncan Spedding, a Professional Anxiety & CBT Specialist based in Northampton, happily married with two grown-up daughters and incredibly grateful for the life I live today.
In my past, Ive spent more than twenty years in elite professional sport and senior leadership, playing Professional and Premiership football for Southampton FC and Northampton Town before moving into business, where I became Head of Operations within the Leisure Division of Europe's largest sports retailer.
From the outside, my life looked perfect. To everyone around me, I appeared successful, confident and completely in control.
The reality however was very different!
Like so many people, I discovered that success doesn't make you immune to anxiety.
There was a period in my life when irrational fears, anxiety and uncertainty took a really hold over me. I quickly discovered what it's like when your own mind works against you. I questioned everything, became gripped with worry, avoided situations that once felt easy and allowed anxiety to dictate how I lived my life.
But everything changed when I realised something incredibly important...
Anxiety wasn't something I had to live with forever—it was something I could learn to understand, take ownership of and ultimately overcome.
By learning the right strategies and changing the way I responded to my thoughts, feelings and fears, I completely transformed my life. That journey is the reason I'm so passionate about helping others transform theirs.
