Alchemising Anxiety

An 8-week immersive, body-focused program designed to retrain an anxious nervous system, guiding your body and mind back to effortless joy, ease, and inner peace

Join Now As A Self Study Program.

 

 

A special invitation to those looking to heal their anxiety and find lasting peace and happiness in 2025.

Thank you for considering this program.

This 8-week immersive course is for anyone experiencing anxiety, a restless nervous system, or fear-related challenges such as PTSD, depersonalization, or panic.

Both Alex and I experienced intense fear and anxiety through our teens and 20s. There were moments of despair, frustration, and loneliness—but even then, we held onto hope. Looking back, those experiences gently led us on a path of self-discovery, healing, and embodiment.

This program is for you if you feel stuck in over-activation, are longing for deep rest, and want to reconnect with a calmer, more heart-centered way of being.

It is a hands-on, body-based program, combining meditation, somatic therapy, and nervous system exercises. Instead of just thinking about change, you’ll be experiencing it in your body, inviting a sense of ease, peace, and gentle joy.

Each week, we’ll support you with workshops, meditations, and practical exercises to help your nervous system settle, your anxiety ease, and your body feel more at home.

This journey nurtures inner calm and contentment—and quietly invites transformation in how you move through the world.

If you feel called, we’d love for you to join us. Life is too precious to spend it caught in fear.

With love,
Chris, Alex, and Team

''I think joining this program is one of the best decisions I have made in a long time!''

Alex Watson

Alex is a body-based therapist, specialising in bioenergetics, Reichian breathwork and somatic meditation. He is one of the UK’s leading experts in this field and helps individuals heal trauma and past conditioning through the doorway of the body. Alex has been on an incredible and heartfelt journey of healing from PTSD, Anxiety, and Insomnia.

Having endured years of emotional struggle and hard times, he now believes and teaches that any pain or suffering he and others experience is ultimately an opportunity for transformation.

“No matter how challenging the situation may seem, a positive outcome is possible when approached from a body-based perspective.”

''How would you treat a child that is afraid? Would you push them away, tell them they are not welcome, give them your phone to play on, give them a snack to shut them up?

OR would you pick them up, tell them how much you love them, and hold them for as long as it takes for them to feel safe again?

This is how we heal our anxiety.''

Lee, Anxiety Recovery participant October 2021.

Wow. What a journey... This course and what it has taught me in the last three months has been one of the most important and rewarding things to ever happen to me. I've learnt how to be alone with my own thoughts, how to process and accept my emotions and how to live day to day without constant fear and anxiety. It's been a life changer. I was beginning to give up hope but somehow stumbled upon an advert for it last summer and after attending two of the free sessions, I knew Chris was onto something.

 
If you are thinking about taking this course, then I couldn't recommend it enough. This time last year I couldn't even sit in a room with my own mind because it was just too much. I was constantly stressed and anxious at work, even on holiday, for absolutely no reason. My mind was out of control. But since taking this course my whole world is different.
I've never been so relaxed, so happy... and for no reason. Chris and the guys are so friendly and welcoming yet professional at the same time and I honestly can't thank them enough. If anyone is thinking about attending one of their courses, honestly, you can't afford not to. It may just change your life.
 

Laura, past course participant with Alex.

Alex's work has had a huge impact on my life. I have hugely transformed from the person I was 12 months ago thanks to Alex. Bioenergetics has not only helped me to become more grounded but has also given me the tools to help me move towards my feelings rather than away and give me emotional freedom. I am forever grateful for the time,work and effort he has committed to my own journey. It's incredible to see a teacher like Alex who is continually committed to their own path and journey.

Poppy, past participant with Alex.

‘Alex's workshops have had a profound impact on me both physically and emotionally, and his online teaching has really helped me to release some long-standing neck and shoulder pain. Highly recommend.'

Joe, past participant with Alex.

"This was an amazing and eye opening experience into how much I've neglected my body and how good it can feel to tap back into it. Alex is a kind, clear and knowledgeable instructor. I really got a lot out of it!"

 

 

Anne -Liverpool - Anxiety Transformation 6 week course.

'I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Chris, although initially anxious after taking the first step to sign up I was so glad I did! Chris is so calm and relaxed, he's a fantastic teacher. I will continue to take everything I learned and grow as a person finding peace calmness and love for myself and others. I highly recommend it. Be brave it’s so worth it. Thank you Chris'

 

 

Sonia, course participant with Alex
“I highly recommend this course for those who like myself have been disassociated from their body and therefore blocked from living their fullest life. I look forward to seeing where this journey continues to take me. Alex’s workshops are powerful”
 

Robert, past participant.

Alright, Chris mate I just wanted to say thank you so much for the time and effort you have given to us over the past 12 weeks from all the videos you shared to all the sharing circles and all the live videos👌

I didn’t know what to expect from the course and was a little unsure at first but I counted myself lucky that I joined and tried my best to make every session and most of all be present and listen.

Every week I learned something new about myself.

But what really helped me, guided me, made me love myself again, showed me I wasn’t alone, that there is light at the end of the tunnel no matter how long the tunnel may be was you, Chris.

If you weren’t making me cry with the heartfelt songs you sang for us or the letters and story’s about you and your dad, you were making me laugh with the story’s of your angry moments (I mean laugh in a happy way, I just I could never picture you getting angry with anybody).

The passion, love and care you showed to me and all the lads though out the course really showed and I will forever be grateful.

You aren’t just an inspirational mentor to me but a brother too.

So thank you brother from the bottom of my heart. 

Sean, Anxiety Recovery participant.

I highly recommend the anxiety programme run by Chris West. Chris is an excellent fundamental teacher. There are not many anxiety professionals who would open up their hearts and talk about their own experiences in a heart-warming way. Too many men keep everything to themselves and Chris helps you open up without feeling judged. The guest teachers, mediation techniques and practices are a great step to overcoming anxiety. Please consider joining the program you will not regret it.  

Rob, Anxiety Recovery participant.

I just wanted to say thanks to Chris, Sion and all the guys, the past 12 weeks have helped me grow so much, I’ve learned so many different things, and feel I’ve become a stronger person for it.

Each week we had so much content from videos to 1 on 1 coaching, sharing circles, Yoga , meditation, we couldn’t have asked for much more, the teachers showed so much passion in every session, the course is one of the best things I’ve done.

Most importantly it’s showed me that I’m not alone in the struggle with anxiety and there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Jack, Anxiety Recovery participant.

''When I found Chris's Anxiety recovery course through an Instagram post, I thought to me myself, this sounds like something that could help me, why not give it a try? What an understatement. After the introductory sessions, I was very keen to continue.

The topics covered, the experiences shared, the insightful techniques that Chris's course contained were all extremely helpful, I'd recommend it to any man who has anxiety that impacts their life in any way. I found the practices we learned super helpful and I'm still using them going forward.
One of the main things that helped me was learning that suffering alone is not mandatory, with the support/knowledge of Chris and Sion plus a host of interesting guest speakers, I found multiple ways to progress my personal development towards a more positive and happy future, I still have work to do, but I'm well on my way and this course has played a big part.
Thanks again for everything Chris!

Jack, 26''

 

Rob F, Anxiety Recovery for Men participant October 2021.

"I took part in the 12-week anxiety recovery for men program in 2021 and would highly recommend this type of program to those struggling with anxiety.
 
The techniques I learned during the course are invaluable and have really, made a positive difference to the way I feel.
 
Chris and the other instructors were supportive throughout and their teaching style was brilliant. I particularly enjoyed the bioenergetics element of the course and found it brings a whole new level of relaxation."

 

Henry, Anxiety Recovery for Men participant May 2021. (an email he said we could share)

Hi Chris,

Things are going really well since the course. I got some really good results back and passed with a 2:1 for my second year. I’ve had my last session for now with my therapist too and all my trauma is clear for the first time and life’s going to be really good for me.

I’m hopeful now and just feel a lot more at ease with the world, and though there may still be worries at times, I’m able to see myself as separate from them and don’t see them as me anymore and identify them with the self - I just see them as parts now that may be worried or scared at times and that’s okay too as I know it’s just a part of me.

I’m also able to tell people how I feel more in situations that would worry me previously, such as when I would be worried about mini confrontations type scenarios that aren’t confrontations as such but that I would previously shy away from out of fear and worry. And it’s okay and I’ve realised that I can have these conversations with neutral emotions and in a way that I don’t need to worry about them.

I’m also getting on really well with my Dad now which is amazing and feel really comfortable around him for the first time maybe ever (or at least it feels this way).

I’m just full of love again and excited for this next and probably last year of my life as a student.

I don’t have any shame anymore either and I know I’m a really good person and that I’m really intelligent too which is a really nice place to be. I’m also happy that I’m unique and I truly love myself now too.

Starting this process in May with you was one of the best things I’ve ever done and definitely, one of the most impactful, and I’d like to take this opportunity to say thank you again as I truly appreciate all your help and guidance.''

Calum, Anxiety Recovery for Men participant October 2021. 

''Before joining the program I experienced intense suffering, constantly under attack from negative thoughts. I experienced anxiety in a number of ways including social anxiety, health anxiety, panic attacks and massive adrenaline rushes which rendered me unable to carry out the simplest of day to day tasks, let alone seek gainful employment. Had it not been for the generosity of my loving partner, I may have ended up on the streets or worse.
 
Anxiety was impacting my life in many ways. I left my job with no alternative because I could not deal with the sense of dread it created. I had become riddled with suicidal thoughts, and was living under constant attack from my mind, both as a victim of my circumstances blaming the world for my problems, and as my hardest critic blaming myself for the action and/or lack of action taken that led to that point. I often did not get out of bed, or if I did barely made it past the couch. I became afraid of doing the simplest tasks such as cooking healthy food or filling my garden bird feeders with seed. The scariest thing was that I saw no way out other than running away, or asking to be institutionalised.
 
I was lucky enough to be scrolling on Facebook at the right time. I clicked on the advertisement for the programme and was sent a link to one of Chris's pre recorded lessons. I watched Chris and Sion talk about their lives and give some insights into anxiety and some basic approaches. First, I was taken at what they had to say and by how genuinely kind both men were . Their approaches took a completely different direction unlike anything else I'd encountered through counselling and CBT. What they said resonated deeply within me and made so much sense. While watching this video lesson, I became so relaxed for the first time in ages that I nodded off! I re-watched the video again, and again and became hooked. Despite being worried about money having no source of income and limited savings I paid for the programme because for the first time in what seemed like decades, I had hope.
 
Since joining the program I no longer have thoughts toward suicide. I feel like, for the first time in my life I am on the right path. Although I have no idea of what worldly direction I will take, I don't harbour as much fear towards this. As Lewis Carroll wrote - if you don't know where you're going, any road will get you there. I’m now embodying my emotions and finding peace from the constant barrage of thoughts which were eroding away my soul.
 
I'm eternally grateful to Chris and the gang for setting me on this path. They have all individually showed me kindness and wisdom that I will never forget. It is my sincere hope that I can continue to learn and one day help others on a path out of suffering towards a happy and peaceful life.
Calum.''
