Phil Reed

“Phil has a unique quality – an ability to empathise with and understand people as individuals, and to put them at ease from the very first moment. This is undoubtedly why he is so successful – he has to be one of the best in his field – and why I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone who wants to move forward in their life in a positive way.” Education Qualification Manager

Qualified as a Master NLP Practitioner in 2002, and Cert.NLP Coach in 2003, Phil’s coaching sessions and training events are fun, compassionate, useful and profound. Whilst he has, and continues to use other approaches (eg EFT Emotional Freedom Techniques), it is always in combination with NLP, which he regards as a mainstay for his clients' continuing success.

His clients learn how to experience self-compassion rather than relying on self-esteem. As such, they leave their sessions with a heightened curiosity about how they relate to life. For many, apart from the gains they experience following each session, this intruiging way of 'doing life' more effectively and healthily stays with them way beyond the final session.

Since 2003, Phil – a former police officer, has been in continual demand, in full time practice as a coach/trainer. Over the years, much of his work has been with working with the various forms of trauma, alongside various agencies in the deprived and marginalised areas of Inner City London. Additionally Phils' coaching has brought benefit for those in all kinds of recovery, in problematic or unhealthy relationship, and in unlocking innate personal resilience. He has also worked successfully with business owners, creatives, managers/team leaders, schools, social services and children’s charities.

In 2021, Phil relocated to East Devon, where with many competing pursuits emerging(!), he's still as enthusiastic as ever to support others with NLP - focussing primarily on rapid trauma release.

Author and presenter of Authority to Care; At the End of the Day, What Makes You Shine?; Tonic Plus; The Compassion Course.

“.. there is no fear that I might have trouble remembering you. You are an outstanding coach. ... I do not write these words lightly … an inspiration.”

“Phil released a writer’s block I had been living with all my life. It took him less than an hour and now I am up at 5 every morning with the joy of writing.”

“Phil’s raft of tools and techniques has brought about dramatic and speedy improvements in my professional performance and personal life. The timeline exercises in particular have made me more effective in my work whilst increasing the level and quality of energy. The two months (eight telephone sessions) I booked could be the best investment I have made so far. Even my wife is impressed!!”
Sales Director

“Phil’s gentle approach set me on a journey that is proving very profitable, both spiritually and financially.” Creative Director of London Advertising Agency

“The course was skills based and provided lots of opportunities in small groups to practice the core skills. Phil is an inspirational trainer with lots of enthusiasm and the course certainly reaches the parts that ‘other training doesn’t reach’. I knew very little about EFT at the start of training but at the end I have a thirst to find out as much as I can. EFT is a real energiser and effective tool in promoting and releasing human potential. The training is quite unique and I would recommend it to all.”
Social Worker

Indeed, Sarah discussed the situation with us before she emailed you and we are both happy to go along with her wishes.  Sarah is also bringing her sessions with the social worker to an end.  She seems so much lighter in spirit and more at home with herself and with things around her.  She sleeps much better and communicates with us somewhat better.  It has been weeks since any self-harming incident or even, she tells me, thoughts of self-harming. We recognise Sarah has worked hard at this but also are so grateful for all you have done.  We would highly recommend Eft, and your services in particular, to any other family in a similar situation.

‘This whole exercise (audio exercise) has stunned me, I was surprised just how honest I could be with myself!’
Time and Recovery Worker

“Phil. How’s things with you? I thought I’d better drop you a line to say .. that we have now been on 3 flights (12 hrs, 4 & 4) and I am doing very well and enjoying landings especially. We’re now in Melbourne .. so I am VERY grateful.”
Business Consultant who’d had a phobia about flying

“All sessions were very rewarding. Phil Reed is a sensitive and intuitive coach with a great sense of humour – I believe a must in coaching! I found Phil has the ability to create a clear and safe platform in which to approach any challenging painful issues or limiting beliefs in a supportive and professional manner. I always felt ‘different’ after the sessions. Sometimes a complex mixture of emotions and thoughts and sometimes I was left calm and clear-headed. There was never any doubt in my mind with regards to the effect of our sessions. It was always positive change. Phil is a unique coach whose primary focus is my change, interested in finding the most effective tools and skills that can be used to inspire change.”

“The length of the course was perfect – I don’t think I would have taken in the information in one day. It was a really fruitful and enriching weekend, something I know I will continue to use personally and professionally.”
Primary Teacher

“I really enjoyed working with you. I felt very safe and valued, it was a lovely experience! You created a space that felt very safe, nourishing and life enhancing. I don’t know who else you work with but they are very fortunate to have you!”

“Phil, you’re amazing! Things went really well on Friday, I’ve still some work to do, but hey, thanks to you, I think I’m on track!”
Health Professional

“Thank you so much for all your help especially for the time you take out to listen to me. I believe that counselling would have steered me left or right but you allowed me to walk forward. I really do appreciate your help and look forward to our next session.”

“There have been some very tangible results and much of this stems from the work we did together, so .. THANK YOU! “
Training Manager. Cosmetics House

Phil is a talented coach and a kind and understanding man. Although we worked through many difficult issues, the sessions were always a real joy.”
City Professional

“Hi Phil, Thank you for your e-mail – it is going really well. I can’t believe how much better I feel already. I had to go to the dentist today and have 5 fillings and I just kept doing the EFT technique and I felt instantly at ease. As far as Ambulances go I feel a lot better – I am not thinking about them everyday now like I was before and I did see one today with flashing blue sirens and laughed – my stomach did go a bit funny but then I was fine!”

“A man of integrity, commitment and professional pride.”
Senior Police Officer

“Firstly, thanks for a most stimulating session last evening and for confirming the next two Wednesdays .. Until you suggested it I didn’t know I wasn’t ‘there’; I went to bed grinning and thankful and have been looking for confirming clues all day—-I have been in a daze all day unable to focus, relate, remember pin numbers, or function well but still managing to bang my head on a shelf; no clues there  is this typical after a profound shift or is it a symptom of the shift still in process? But I now agree I’m probably a nudge away from cracking this one ——but I haven’t any idea what it will take now to break through!  I did not expect the session to be so deep or take the turns it did, so what could be next?”
Marketing Consultant

“I would like to thank you for all your help during the last few months when we worked together. You are an excellent coach largely because you possess those key attributes of being able to listen to your clients, challenge them on their issues and responses, and have the ability to put them into positions where they are the ones who actually come up with the answers. But more than that, you are a really nice guy – a gentleman, a friend, a counsellor, someone you feel you can trust.”
Marketing Consultant

"So, we’ve definitely re-coded the nasty childhood memories and put them in proportion with every other experience. Thank you! Clearly you’re a phobia superstar! “

“Thanks Phil, I passed my motorbike test with a clean sheet, the second person in the history of my well established training school to do so! I’m an Advanced EFT practitioner and throughout learning to ride I had been using EFT and NLP techniques to improve my ability on the bike. I didn’t find learning to ride came naturally to me and found myself frustrated a lot of the time which I used the techniques on. I went into my first test confident until it came to a particular manoeuvre and I just didn’t believe I could complete it on that particular road and of course because of that I didn’t pass my test and it completely knocked my confidence over that particular manoeuvre. It wasn’t about my physical ability as I could do this manoeuvre again and again but sometimes I just had a mental block which lead me to messing it up.
The week before my second test, I decided it was time to get outside help and as I had trained with Phil, I knew he was an excellent practitioner and a person I felt comfortable with and trusted; and, as I found out during our session, an ex police driver – I couldn’t have wished for a more qualified person to work with! Phil taught me a couple of techniques I didn’t know and used EFT around my belief around the manoeuvre in a test situation and the memory of my test. We went through my next test step by step until I felt confident I could do this manoeuvre.
The next day I passed my test with a clean sheet (I received no marks against me). This was not through natural ability but through practise and my work with Phil. I’m continually inspired by the things you can achieve by using these techniques. Thanks again, Phil.”

“Working with Phil has been an illuminating, helpful and insightful experience. He is such a giving individual and that has been a quality that has permeated all of the time we have spent together. .. Phil helped me to manage the challenges I was facing at the time and gave me the strength to do what was right – even though it was incredibly scary. .. Phil has been one of the most magical people I have met in my life. He is a gifted human being and whoever has the opportunity to work with him is a very lucky individual. Thank you Phil.”
Deputy Head Teacher

Just wanted to say thank you for the terrific course this weekend.  I thoroughly enjoyed the experience & met some wonderful people there, including your lovely self!  I hope to go tapping as soon as possible & will make every effort to tap for myself at least daily if not more often. .. .. Again, thank you for this unforgettable weekend course – Roquefort cheese will never have the same power over me.  Must get tapping now.
Hypnotherapist & Counsellor

OH MY GOODNESS! I barely skipped a beat, I can’t believe it. I was nervous beforehand and thought I was going to be sick at one point but as soon as my breath felt like it was going to get out of control it suddenly just calmed down, that was really weird. When I actually went in I felt nervous but it felt like normal nerves – not at all debilitating, and as I went on I was able to remain calm, take my time, go back if I realised I missed something without having a panic about it and take questions.
Thank you so much Phil, that was really amazing. I’m almost looking forward to the next one so I can keep trying it out!
Am going to carry on with my ‘homework’ and try to find another excuse to do a presentation soon, I’m not kidding myself that I don’t need to do any more work to deal with it, but I’m amazed that I had such a positive experience today and I’m going to build on that. Thanks again, wow, still in shock (in a nice way)!

“Just thought you might like to know that I got a A* for my science test. That is 25% of my final mark and is really great. My science teachers have suggested that I sit an As first module Physics in January one year before I should. That is really great news don’t you think? Thanks Again.”

“I did what you said the night before and the dance class on Monday was cool – no problem. I couldn’t believe it! To be honest I don’t know what I was worrying about – and it was even better the next week. I am very grateful to you Phil.”

“Phil was a resource at my own coach training several years ago, and became my personal coach when I needed support to make some radical and painful changes to my life. He is a gentle giant, an extraordinarily peaceful and humorous man with whom I felt completely safe to express my thoughts and confusions. Through his help I made substantial shifts in my mindset which meant that the difficult decisions I had to make were suddenly not difficult at all. I would recommend him to anyone who finds they are stuck and struggling to achieve the goals they set themselves.”
Creative/Business Strategist

“Definitely left me wanting more!” As far as comments regarding the day, I was very impressed with it and enjoyed it very much – well done! The format kept people awake and involved. There were many areas which cross into schools and current thinking on how children learn. Accelerated learning, multiple intelligence’s and much much more.”

‘The Fear of Compassion’ workshop:
“I found this course to be incredibly beneficial and successful and a joy to do. I really enjoyed learning about the theories and doing the exercises – the content was both relevant and helpful to me. Thank you Phil for putting together the course; it is amazing – so well done. I’m feeling far more at peace with myself and far more compassionate with myself and others, so its a RESULT!”
