Tim Collins is an anxiety coach and podcaster with over 3 million downloads and 461 episodes on anxiety and the hold it can take over on our lives. Tim began to suffer with panic attacks and anxiety as an adult. Although he followed the recommended steps of attending psychologists and doctors he felt like they didn't understand his struggles and provided only learnt solutions to the problem. When Tim started leaning into his own anxiety rather than running away from it he noticed significant improvements. With meditation and exercise he got the momentum to start making bigger life shifts and realised that it was possible to live a life not controlled by anxiety. Since then Tim has dedicated himself to exploring anxiety and its nuances. Working as a coach and group mentor to help people that want and are ready to stretch and make changes in their lives.
