About this episode

In this episode of Meet Your Mental Helper, host Jim interviews Matt Young—life coach with qualifications in Hypnotherapy (RTT) and NLP based in London, UK, specializing in anxiety, fear, and helping people break emotional patterns that keep them stuck. He helps clients navigate panic, phobias, and performance-related fear using an integrative blend of mindset work, subconscious methods, and body-based strategies.

Discover how Matt approaches reframing anxiety as an experience rather than an identity and shares practical insight on perception-driven fear, emotional imprinting, and why “state first, strategy second” changes everything. This conversation highlights thoughtful, real-world perspectives on therapy, growth, and mental health.
