Now, these are just bite-sized quotes of what's possible. So let's go deeper. Below, you'll find a video of Sara Nightingale talking about working with me. We started by…

Dissolving Her Fear Of Public Speaking

“I find it a little bit ironic that I wouldn't even be able to be making this video for you right now, if not for some of the help that you've given me. Because, one of the things that you really helped me with was… I had absolute fear of speaking.”

As Sara explains, her anxiety about speaking was just the starting point. Together, one session per issue, we eliminated:

• Her anxiety about speaking
• A long-term anger issue,
• A long-term addiction to smoking,
• And more.

Then, in another session, we helped her become 'a happier person' (something, which as she says in the video, was so amorphous to her at the time that even she couldn't wrap her head around what she specifically wanted.) As she says with a big smile on her face after that single session ‘I am a happier person’.

To quote Sara from the video, ‘it's really amazing what you do. I don't even know how to explain it, but . . .

'I know that it works, and I know that it's easy.'

‘I like that I’m NOT spending hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars to sit here and talk about my problems [as is so common with traditional therapy where ‘nothing really changes’].’

It’s wonderful to just say:

• ‘I don’t like this’
• ‘I don’t like the way that feels’
• ‘I prefer the way this feels’
• ‘I wish I could do this or that’

… and then we do that. We make that happen, together.’

Now, not everyone gets instant results like this for every issue.

Sometimes change does take a little longer.

However, obviously, it's still easily worth a few hours together to finally be free of the anxiety that's been holding you back. Here’s an example of…

How A Neuroscientist's World Was Shrinking, Until Everything Changed

A neuroscientist specialising in mental health research at a top-tier global institution contacted me for help. She understood how the brain works far better than most professionals ever will.

And none of it helped her.

Since her late teens, she had been suffering with recurring episodes of intense anxiety and a terrifying sense of unreality. Large, open spaces could trigger an overwhelming feeling of floating or living inside a film. Everyday situations would set it off. Meeting a friend, running an errand, walking into a building.

Her world began to shrink. She saw people less. She chose social events based on whether she could manage her anxiety when there. Any situation where, if the anxiety hit, she felt she couldn't easily leave.

And she felt like 'a huge fraud' because she couldn't apply any of her own expertise to herself.

We worked together over three sessions. Important automatic changes happened both within sessions and through carefully designed Precision Experiences in the real-world situations where her anxiety had been strongest.

A year later, she wrote to me from her workplace: 'I couldn't panic here if I tried. The same goes for virtually every place in the city now.'

In her own words: 'Michael's work has completely transformed my life. Our deepest-held beliefs about our inability to recover are mere illusions. Crucially, this doesn't require brute force. It's all about simply changing strategies.'

Now compare that to everyday therapy.

In everyday therapy, research has found that it can take more than 40 sessions before roughly 75% of people achieve what researchers consider a meaningful level of improvement. With weekly sessions, that's most of a year of someone's life. And many still aren't completely free of their symptoms.

Three sessions changed this woman's life.

Here's another example of how just a few sessions can positively transform the direction of an entire life forever...

How Anxiety Nearly Killed A Pilot's Career

A student pilot, on the path to becoming a commercial airline pilot, contacted me for help after crashing his plane while flying solo.

Fortunately, he was OK, physically.

Unfortunately, despite his immense bravery in willing himself back into the cockpit, he was plagued by constant, horrifying thoughts of crashing again.

If you've ever been unable to stop anticipating the worst, even when you know logically that you're OK, you'll recognise exactly what he was going through.

As he told me on the phone, 'I [always] knew I would be a pilot one day'. But now that dream, which was so close to becoming a reality, was nearly dead.

We worked together for two sessions so that he could fly solo without any fear or anxiety.

Then, due to COVID, we had to wait until commercial passenger jets were flying normally again for his training and career to progress.

Two years after our two sessions, I followed up with him again, and this is what he said…

'I'm absolutely fine, I've competed my course last year and now I'm [a] fully qualified first officer now and flying [a] passenger jet across Europe! Love every minute of it!

Things that used to bother me are long gone and I fully enjoy what I've always wanted to do - fly!

I'll always be grateful for all your help… and dedication. You are truly on the mission and you change people's life.'

Yes, I Am On A Mission

A little over three decades ago, in my university library, I stumbled across the work of Milton Erickson, M.D.

More than four decades after his death, Erickson is still widely revered as the greatest therapist who ever lived. The world's largest psychotherapy conference is still held in his honour every four years.

Erickson was the Einstein of therapy. The only difference is that, while Einstein was able to formalise his theories into precise mathematical equations that any physicist could understand, very few people have been able to replicate even portions of Erickson's genius.

Mastering his skill-set has been my all-consuming daily passion for the last two and a half decades. Early on, I was fortunate to be mentored by some of Erickson's most brilliant students. What they taught me, combined with Erickson's own body of work, gave me a valuable foundation I've spent every day since building on, refining, and pressure-testing through over two decades of no-change-no-pay client work.

The result: when we work together, I bring tools and expertise that build on Erickson's foundation in a rare way, pressure-tested with thousands of clients from over 103 countries.

What this means for you: faster results, with less effort, than you've experienced with any other approach.

25 Years Of Paid-On-Results Experience

Over the last two decades and more, I've worked exclusively on a no-change-no-pay basis, with clients from over 103 countries with all kinds of problems.

Everyone from:

• Billionaire clients who had achieved everything, with a rare level of tenacity, brilliance, and a never-give-up attitude, but then struggled to do even basic things like talk to employees, or leave the house…
• Executives who seemed to have it all, but were lost in a world of stress and anxiety…
• Hollywood directors and actors, people whose work you've likely enjoyed, who, became paralysed with fear after suddenly landing dream roles…
• Music legends, whose music I listened to on the radio growing up, but who secretly always felt anxious, a feeling magnified under the scrutiny of fame. (Another well-known musician later wrote a song quietly referencing our work together.)
• Doctors, psychologists, professors, scientists, elite athletes, judges, authors, and other very successful people who appeared to have it all, but were in a daily world of worry, dread, and anxiety.
• People just like you who had tried everything for their anxiety, from therapy to medication to meditation to self-help, and were beginning to wonder if they'd ever feel normal again.

Helping people break free from psychological pain and struggle, as quickly as humanly possible, has been my all-consuming obsession for over two decades.

I'm on a mission to make the biggest difference I can, and I've gone to extreme lengths to fulfil it.

When we combine my tools, experience, and expertise with your inner resources, we can achieve everything you want together. Those resources are already inside you, whether you know it yet or not.

Why This Is Far More Than Just A Job For Me

If you know my story then you know that I've faced and overcome huge challenges myself.

Several years ago I was in a wheelchair. I was getting weaker every day, and most people had given up on me.

Two doctors and a physical therapist even told me that I'd never walk again.

Nothing was working. The best doctors didn't even know what was wrong with me. But, I was never going to give up.

Luckily, one day, I stumbled across a physical therapist who just did things differently.

She believed I could walk again; she was highly intelligent and systematic, and she was on the leading edge of the latest research.

Today, thanks to her help, I can walk, run, and dance with my daughter.

Only after I was able to walk again did I discover that I had multiple sclerosis.

I defied the odds through tenacity, determination, a never give up attitude, some undeserved luck (I don't have the worst form of MS like my mother, who is paralysed from the neck down) and, importantly,…

World-Class Help

This is why I work so very hard on my craft, every single day (just ask my wife!).

It's also why I don't give up on other people easily (no matter how many people already have).

I know what it's like to be desperate, unable to find the right help, and in a world of pain and anguish.

I also know that breakthroughs rarely require trying harder. Instead, they typically require a paradigm shift.

When we work together, we're going to go far outside the regular therapy or coaching box you may have been stuck in.

Results
(Instead Of Endless Talking)

My good friend, Dr Scott Miller, developer of feedback-informed therapy, heads up The International Centre for Clinical Excellence and is one of the world's leading scientists researching what works in psychological therapy. He sums up, perfectly, what the scientific research reveals about clinical psychology:

“What’s the difference between a trained therapist and a compassionate friend? Look at outcomes and you are likely to be disappointed. For example, studies comparing [seasoned, highly-credentialed] professionals to students either find that the latter group [the students] achieve significantly better results or, at worst, the same!”

If you’ve seen several therapists, you don’t need yet another ‘compassionate friend’. You need RESULTS.

Scientific research shows that:

• endless active listening,
• digging around in the past for supposed ‘root causes’,
• psycho-education that prioritises insight and intellectual understanding,
• and attempts to use logic and rationality to change powerful emotional responses...

… are, at best, highly ineffective.

And yet, most therapy is still grounded in those very approaches.

Instead of following the crowd, we’re going to follow what research has shown works best.

We are going to:

• Be strategic and goal-oriented so you get the results you want as quickly and easily as possible.
• Focus on the present and future (which, unlike the past, we can change).
• Prioritise change (not insight, nor ‘head-knowledge’).
• Create deep, lasting emotional shifts that allow you to automatically and effortlessly be the way you want to be.

The Science Of
Automatic Change,
Without Willpower

Most people assume that significant change requires significant willpower.

Sometimes that's true, but very often it's NOT.

Curious?

For over a century, scientists, from Nobel laureates like Ivan Pavlov to Daniel Kahneman, have studied how our brains create thoughts, emotions, and behaviours.

Their groundbreaking discoveries reveal two metaphorical brain ‘systems’ (or modes of processing) that help explain psychological change:

The Effortful System: slow, deliberate, and conscious. It’s the ‘system’ behind logic, analysis, and trying to force change through willpower.

The Automatic System: fast, effortless, and unconscious. It shapes your reactions, habits, and emotional patterns before your conscious mind even notices.

The problem?

Trying to use the Effortful System to overpower the Automatic System is a recipe for agonisingly slow, painful, and fragile change:

• You have to doggedly and consistently summon all your willpower to consciously think, feel and behave as you're supposed to. 
• You have to be ever vigilant not to let yourself get unwittingly triggered, or else you have to somehow scramble to recover after the horse has already bolted.
• And you have to fight a raging inner battle against your more powerful automatic responses, a battle that explains why any gains can feel so fragile.

Despite these revolutionary insights, mainstream methods for change vastly underutilise the Automatic System, perpetuating the belief that change must be slow, difficult, fragile, and dependent on willpower.

It’s no surprise, then, that average therapy outcomes have not improved in over 50 years.

Milton Erickson did things entirely differently. He innovated, developed, and inspired a wealth of unique ways to transform the involuntary responses of the Automatic System directly.

Automatic Change grew from the foundation he laid.

How To Create Life-Defining Automatic Changes That Positively Compound Over Time

Most people are aware that the weight of negative life-events and traumas can compound in a person's life over time.

What few people appreciate, though, is that positive changes can compound over time too.

Milton Erickson was very aware of this, and as a result, he conceptualised state-of-the-art therapy very differently than most:

'Therapy [personal change] is like starting a snowball rolling at the top of a mountain. As it rolls down, it grows larger and larger and becomes an avalanche that fits the shape of the mountain.' — Milton Erickson, MD.

This is another significant advantage of working with the Automatic System directly. As Sarah Nightingale shares:

'It was a massive immediate change [that has also] unfolded over time and unleashed a lot of changes going forward.'

And when you transform multiple issues, the changes compound too, as Nathan Hall shares:

'I have had panic attacks since I was a little boy and particularly get triggered when I'm on a plane. After my very first session with Michael, I got on my next plane ride, and I was laughing with my wife. We were laughing! That was an experience I hadn't had in a very long time. There have been dramatic, impactful shifts that have taken place in me very quickly. This was after the very first session. So imagine doing several and watching your life shift and change dramatically as you go along this path.'

And sometimes, when we transform a core anxiety pattern, other areas of your life shift in wonderful ways too, even if never discussed.

Key Research Findings
About Effective, Lasting
Psychological Change

Scientific research into psychological change has now confirmed the immense value of the many contrarian positions Milton Erickson took.

These include:

• The individual therapist is far more important for results than any predefined protocol or method they might use. (In fact, the best therapists get at least ten times better results than their peers following the same methods).
• The best results come from tailoring everything to fit you, rather than forcing you to fit into a rigid, one-size-fits-all method…
• The best therapists actively seek feedback at every opportunity, both in session and between sessions, because they recognise that feedback is…

An Indispensable Ingredient
For Consistent, Dramatic
Long-Term Success

This is why, after each session, I will follow up with you to find out how well the changes we made during the session have impacted the relevant areas of your life.

• When what we do works perfectly, we will know we can move on to what's next on your 'to change' list…
• If we're on the right track, but you're not quite there yet, then we'll know we need to keep going…
• And if anything we do doesn't work (I am human and sometimes miss the mark), then knowing about it ASAP will help us immediately course-correct.

Whether you just want to eliminate the anxiety that has been holding you back… or whether you want to positively transform multiple patterns, over time, so you can be at your ultimate best and enjoy just how amazing life can be, thankfully…

Zoom Or A Phone Is All We Need

Recently, I was asked to fly internationally to help a man whose personal and family net worth makes him one of the richest people in the world.

He had experienced severe anxiety and panic for seventeen years and it was getting worse. (There are certain very hard to find good help for problems that money alone will not solve).

Despite my insistence that I could help him enjoy a 100% normal life without any travel required, he repeatedly invited my family and me to visit.

Since we were already about to fly to Australia and could make an additional stop-over on the way home, I accepted his invitation.

However, since it would be a few weeks before we arrived, I recommended he and I quickly do a couple of zoom sessions first.

Once my family and I landed in his country, checked into our hotel (one of over a hundred his family-owned), and rested a little, our families bonded.

As he and I sat down to talk in his home, I knew he was doing great, but I was ready to make sure he had everything he needed.

He looked at me and stated…

'I don't need anything. You've already helped me with all I need. This is us catching up to thank you for helping me.'

I've witnessed first-hand over many years that audio zoom or phone help is amazing.

My experience has now been confirmed by scientific research, conducted during the pandemic, which found no differences in outcomes between in-person vs telehealth help.

The evidence is overwhelming: we can change your life just by using zoom or a phone. And while I am open to travelling (depending on my schedule), if someone truly values an even deeper, in-person connection, that is truly a luxury, not a necessity.

How Our Confidential
One-on-One Sessions Will Work

1. We will talk via audio Zoom. Most people find they can focus more deeply and access more of their internal experience without watching a screen. Audio also handles internet variability better, since much of what I do relies on precise timing. I consistently get better results this way.
2. Our sessions will last, on average, 90 minutes. Getting results as fast as humanly possible is our number one priority, not us punching some sort of time clock. So, if you're like a recent client who knew she'd received everything she wanted and needed after only 15 minutes, we can end the session there. On the other hand, if we're on the verge of a breakthrough and stopping would be counter-productive, we can go a little longer than normal.
3. You will have confidential one-on-one support from me via email in-between sessions for anything you need. Research shows the best therapists often connect with their clients during in-between sessions, so you'll be able to email me whenever you need.
4. You can share as much or as little as you're comfortable with. What allows me to work so fast is that I pay most attention to the structure underneath anxiety (including hidden strengths I can redirect). This is also why I don't need you to reveal details you'd rather keep private.

Guaranteed Automatic Changes

At typical therapy rates, many people have already invested thousands of dollars in help that didn't work when they find me.

Kazuya, as you can see above, spent over $7,000 over four years without results. Brooke struggled for thirty years in therapy before discovering me.

Compared to that kind of investment, and to the ongoing pain of living with anxiety month after month, three sessions together is a fraction of the time and cost.

Three confidential one-on-one Zoom sessions with me is just $990, and in keeping with the no-change-no-pay policy I've always offered, it comes with a 100% money-back guarantee:

No Change, No Pay.

If you experience anxiety that you want to change, about a specific kind of situation, sensation, or thought, and within seven days of our third session you haven't yet experienced any positive automatic changes, just let me know and I'll refund you in full.

I've worked on a no-change-no-pay basis for over twenty-five years. I put everything I have into working with every client, and I know of no one else in the world who is prepared to work this way.

Obviously, the above guarantee doesn't promise you will fully resolve any and every challenge you face within three sessions. Given the complexity of people's situations, no one could ever guarantee that. I guarantee exactly what I stated above and, needless to say, we can do further sessions if you need.

As mentioned earlier, some clients want help to automatically transform multiple areas of their lives. After you experience how impactful and life-changing these first three sessions are, then we can discuss options for additional or ongoing help in other areas, if you choose.

Limited Spaces

While it's exciting for me to watch amazing people make amazing changes, and to see and hear how their life blossoms over time, it often takes a lot out of me.

I put everything I have into each session, and I work even harder during in-between sessions, honing my craft (something that research shows is the #1 difference between world-class therapists and the rest).

I go to extreme lengths to be the best I can be. And I also need to take care of myself, too. This is especially true since I still have multiple sclerosis (which, typically, only makes itself known to me when I am tired).

For these reasons, I limit myself to doing a maximum of two to three sessions per day.

Along with this, my existing clients always get priority. Once you're a client, I'm here for you for the long-term, to assist you with any future challenges you may face.

All this means that my time is limited and, therefore, so too are spaces to work with me.

If the button below is active, there is a space available right now.

The Next Step

Here's how to get started:

Click the button below to secure your spot. You'll enter your details, fill out a short confidential form telling me what you'd like help with first (takes about five to ten minutes), and then choose a time for your first session.

If I feel there is any reason I can't help you, I'll issue a full refund immediately.

You don't need to prepare. You don't need to understand how it works. You don't need to believe it will work. You just need to be willing to find out.

You can probably already imagine what the next month will be like if nothing changes. The same struggle, the same limitations, the same weight of being stuck with something you never asked for and can't seem to shake.

You've waited long enough.

And remember, you're fully protected by my 100% money-back guarantee:

No Change, No Pay.

If you experience anxiety that you want to change, about a specific kind of situation, sensation, or thought, and within seven days of our third session you haven't yet experienced any positive automatic changes, just let me know and I'll refund you in full.

While every day is an irreplaceable gift, any day with unnecessary suffering is a tarnished gift. This is why I'm so committed to helping you finally eliminate the pain and struggle you've been experiencing… so that you can finally experience the joy of effortlessly being the way you want to be.

Love,

Michael
