Nick Kemp - Curing Phobias Live on BBC Radio

Early March 2006 I received this call on my answer phone - "Hello this is Chris Sandys from BBC radio Leeds, would you like to appear on our show on March 19th to talk about NLP?" After some consideration I agreed to appear on the show even though it was my birthday and I had other plans for that particular day! After the first session I was asked back as a regular guest with a weekly slot for the next consecutive 26 weeks.

The usual format for the show is that I will take calls from listeners and we will then select a series of members of the public for me to work with. The selected members of the public would appear on the show to tell their story and then before the following week's programme, I would work with them, so they could reappear and feedback the results. Many of these including "Lucy the fish phobic" were treated live in the studio before we then went on air to 50,000 listeners!

To date I have worked with individuals with the following phobias - fear of balloons, spider phobia, fear of public speaking, fear of birds, fear of insects and fear of being under water. The work was often done live on the air, and a selected number of the sessions can be heard by following this link

As well as appearing for these one hour guest slots I have also recorded a number of motivation, relaxation and time management exercises that have also been aired on BBC radio.
