I’ve lived in my head for years

I’ve lived in my head for years - not knowing what on earth was happening in my head. His help with OCD and understanding of what is going on made everything over the years make sense. John also helped me over come a destructive addiction with cocaine and alcohol that was escapism from my OCD thoughts and depression. Everything is work in progress but John helped me understand my mind and what techniques to use to get your life back. Thanks John.

Would recommend John to anyone…

Would recommend John to anyone struggling mentally with OCD/ intrusive thoughts. I came across John by accident on instagram a time in our family’s life when we were reaching breaking point. My son had been struggling for about 3 years and I tried different councillors to help but nothing was working.
From going through his instagram I felt he would be different he showed he had struggled once himself and could offer first hand guidance and support instead of what he had learnt in a text book !!
After messaging I knew he was going to be able to help but I didn’t realise just how much and the difference he could make even in just a short time !!
He’s been an amazing support, mentor and a friend to my son at a time in his life I struggled to help him because I didn’t understand. But John did and he continues to be there for him and show him the tools to live his life without the pressures of the OCD that was ruining it.
For anyone struggling I highly recommend you reach out to John, my family will forever be grateful

OCD & Anxiety Recovery.

Where to start... I’ll start with John Severs, the man who changed my life and brought me back from the brink.

For as long as I can remember, I have suffered from panic attacks, a sense of not being fully present, and an overwhelming fear of losing control. Going through this in my teens and twenties was a horrible experience. Panic attacks became a regular part of my life, and every thought felt like a battle. I constantly felt disconnected, and whenever an intrusive thought—a common experience for many—crossed my mind, I would be gripped by an intense fear of it, which only fueled more panic attacks. As a teenager, I sought help from doctors, who prescribed medication that merely numbed the problem, offering no real solution. I lived in fear, avoiding many life situations because I was terrified of losing control.

Earlier this year, I reached what John calls my ‘explosion.’ My intrusive thoughts were relentless, trapping me in a constant cycle of panic attacks and anxiety. I felt lost and couldn’t see a way out.

After just a couple of months working with John, my situation—and my life—changed completely. Through his guidance, I discovered that I was suffering from OCD, which explained many of my irrational worries. John reassured me that there was light at the end of the tunnel. Over the months we worked together, he taught me techniques that helped me regain control. Thanks to his support, I no longer feared the irrational beliefs that had once held me hostage. John has equipped me with the knowledge and tools to embrace life fully and unconditionally accept myself.

If any of this sounds familiar to you, I can confidently say that working with John will help you realize that everything will be okay, and you can recover. I cannot recommend him enough.

Appreciation for Your Impact on My Mental Health Journey

John I felt compelled to write to express my gratitude for the positive impact you have had on my life over the past 12 months. When I first started working with you, I was facing significant challenges with my mental health, grappling with negative thoughts that led me to seek solace in drink and partying.

Your guidance and support have been transformative. Through our sessions, you have equipped me with valuable strategies to navigate obstacles and work on my mental wellbeing. Your expertise and deep understanding of mental health have truly shone through, making our work together incredibly effective.

Of all the professionals I have worked with throughout the years, you stand out as someone who not only excels in your field but also genuinely cares about the well-being of your clients. I wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone facing similar struggles with their mental health.

I cannot thank you enough for the positive changes you have helped me bring into my life. Your support has been invaluable, and I am truly grateful for everything you have done.

Thank you once again, John. Your impact has been truly life-changing.

Recovery journey

2021 my brain broke. I had been dealing with ocd and anxiety for a long time and on this one particular day it truly broke. I was consumed with the fear and anxiety and the intense feeling of worry, my life had changed instantly . I had several therapy sessions but no one really got it . I was on Instagram one day and John popped up on my feed and this one particular video he had done, got me. It sounded like me and what was happening, it was so relatable. So I reached out to John and he saved me. He really understood what I was going through. I was in my head for a long time and it really takes you a dark place. I will be forever grateful to have found John. He really has improved my life and I honestly don’t know what I would have done without him. If anyone is struggling with ocd do not hesitate. I can’t thank John enough for what he has done for me. Sometimes the hardest of journeys lead you to great things and people, recovery is a journey and john is the best at helping you on that path.

2024- the year that didn’t break me

2024 should have been the year that broke me. Having lost my second Brother to suicide I really thought there was no light left to find. I was scared for his Son, my own children, for my parents and for my younger Siblings. Thanks to John Severs and some very hard truths, that became much easier once I started to talk to him. I am grateful that I’m now living my life in honour of my Brothers and I have replaced emptiness with gratitude and guilt with acceptance.
I can’t recommend John enough. I also have adhd and find it hard to explain things to myself let alone others but John really made me at ease and explained things in a way I could make changes from the very first meeting.
I will return to John to work on other things in the future but for now I’m enjoying Summer with my children and I didn’t ever think I would enjoy life again.
Highly, highly recommended.

I have struggled for forever Realy with ocd, specificly ‘pure O’ and reached a stage where I just needed help and it had to be John

He understood exactly what was happening to me, he coached me through it, and gave me the tools I need to deal with day to day, it never goes away but it doesn’t effect me anymore.

I can’t praise him enough and would recomend him to anyone needing a real person who has also had real problems to speak to

Thank you John

OCD and Anxiety no longer control me like they used to!

John helped change my life! I was suffering from chronic ODC and thought that I could never get a hold of what was going on inside my head. As a 22 year old I was constantly worried about the future and didn’t know how I was going to cope with all these thought for the rest of my life. John helped me see that light at the end of the tunnel. After the first session with him I knew that my life was about to change and it definitely did. After a month with John my life was completely different, I felt more confident, I wasn’t inside my own head 24/7 and I felt ‘normal’ again.

Anyone suffering from OCD or anxiety I wouldn’t think twice about going looking somewhere else. Your man is right here and he is the best in the game!

OCD recovery

To say that John has literally saved my son’s life is an understatement ! We found John when my boy was literally on deaths door, suffering from debilitating OCD. He was broken as was I, and we had run out of options. We had paid excessive amounts of money for several supposed OCD expert therapists/ psychologists who could not help as they don’t understand OCD. John has worked tirelessly with my son, being available during his darkest days, including weekends, Christmas time and even on his holidays! He has taught my boy to face his fears in his own time, been beyond patient and supportive so that he trusts him 100%. This is a family illness and John has also worked with me when I’ve been frustrated and lacked understanding. He has enabled me to be my boy’s ‘mum’ again, and not his therapist allowing our relationship to heal and flourish. I honestly thank God everyday for what John is doing for my son and family I cannot imagine where we would be without him. My son’s life has completely turned around , he is starting to live again and enjoy life. He initially did not believe he could ever get well, and whilst he has still a way to go,now knows that with John in his corner he will recover! There is nobody else that could have reached my boy the way John has, his personal experience of OCD gives him an empathy and understanding that can’t be taught. We will forever be in his debt for what he has done and continues to do for my son and family

OCD /intrusive thoughts



I didn’t realise i had OCD as in overthinking and intrusive thoughts ,
I literally had the same thought process going round and round in my head .
It affected my home life , my relationship with my partner, children , friends and work colleagues for i could not shift the thoughts and would ask the same questions over and over again .
I was even thinking the same thoughts whilst sleeping like it was in my dreams .
I’d wake up with the worst anxiety which continued throughout the day but it was always worse first thing in the morning .

I did see another councillor before John and tbh i felt like she thought my problems were minor and that i just had to set some boundaries, I really don’t think she understood how much the same thoughts were impacting on my life ,
Id go on holidays and the same thoughts were there , i’d go to work they were there , i’d go to sleep they were there , the thoughts made me scared. I was irritable and irrational with the people around me , it was causing me to fall out with them as they had no understanding of what was going on in my head. I was always thinking the worst thing was going to happen .
Then i was told about John so i contacted him and Im so glad that i did .
In what was relatively a short time he helped me understand what was happening and taught me strategies and techniques on how to control my thoughts .
It was like my mind had reset back to the person i used to be.
The most unique thing about John and his counselling was that he would say to me when you can’t stop the thought you text me and i will get back to you as soon as i can .
He prevents you having a meltdown , because you know he’s there to talk to if need be .
I don’t know of any other counsellors that would do that ? In my opinion thats a man that is committed to his work , to me that was priceless .

I’ve finished my counselling now with John and i am a different person .
i don’t have any anxiety and i sleep all night long something i haven’t done in possibly 8 years .
I guess we all have times where we struggle and i know
you can never say never but i truly feel i now have the skills i need to get myself back on track . And should i ever start to decline i know John will be the one that i will contact .
He knows his stuff and in my opinion he is the best out there

I had the pleasure of working with John in my darkest moments , and still continue to chat every other day.
What sets Johns work apart from others I’ve worked with is his deep understanding of the complexities of life and business. John has a remarkable ability to listen, ask the right questions, and provide tailored strategies that work. Every session was a blend of practical advice, emotional support, and much more .

If you're looking to make meaningful changes in your life, both personally and professionally, I highly recommend John He is an incredible coach who genuinely cares about your success and well-being. Thank you john.
