Profile
Felix Economakis BA(hons),
Dipl.Psych., MSc., PG.Dipl.Psychol., Dipl.Hyp., PG.Dipl.Hyp., BSCH, BPS.
Felix is a chartered psychologist, clinical
hypnotherapist and NLP Master Practitioner. He has demonstrated rapid-change
therapy using clinical hypnosis with a 100% success rate with hyper-phobics on
BBC3’s “The Panic Room”, as well using more conventional psychological
approaches as on the current series of “Freaky Eaters”.
Felix
believes in leading by example so in the course of his TV work he has variously
walked over burning coals, jumped out of a plane, broken through a 2 inch
wooden board with the palm of his hand, and held all manner of tarantulas,
snakes and giant hissing cockroaches to illustrate how we can all learn to
manage our anxiety.
Asides from these more dramatic displays of therapy
for fears and phobias, Felix has been interviewed on radio and for dozens of
articles on the most common psychological conditions affecting modern society:
chronic anxiety, stress, depression, addictions, relationship conflicts and the
feeling that something is missing in life. He remains passionate about
promoting the benefits of modern integrative therapy in all these areas and has
written a book on how the relationship between the conscious and unconscious
mind determines our emotional and mental health, which will be published in Dec
2012 with Vermillion Books.
