‘Paul Emery is exceptional! He listens carefully, is understanding, and experienced and importantly helped me overcome a severe anxiety problem. I recommend him without reservation, and so will you!’ Brett Batchelor. CEO Bangkok
More About Paul
As a shy and often sick teen Paul endured severe bullying. And like many others, this affected him greatly. He was fearful, and anxious around people, even those he knew well.
From the age of 14, Paul developed severe anxiety and a social phobia and suffered with this most of his life. His phobia prevented him from being at ease in all situations. He even quit a high-level, well-paid job because of it!
Throughout most of his adult life, he spent 10’s thousands of pounds and many years travelling the world looking for a cure. But nothing helped. All he found was hopelessness, harmful medications and slow-costly-ineffective therapies and therapists.
Fortunately, after decades of trial and error, he eventually discovered the most innovative and effective ways to overcome his problem – techniques he is happy to share with you!
Paul’s fear and anxiety have been relieved to such an extent that he now appears on live TV. with no fear or anxiety. Something previously unthinkable!

He played keyboards in a New Wave band (trying to be Depeche Mode lol) and was also a New Wave and Punk Rock band manager, he was also a casino croupier/pit boss, telecommunications manager and had a Hollywood memorabilia business – meeting the likes of President Ronald Reagan, Al Pacino, Nicole Kidman, Tom Hanks and David Bowie.

In a ‘Financial Times’ (09/08/08) article by renowned BBC Journalist Michael Buerk who wrote the following about my work at Chiva Som:
‘I went to two “holistic” sessions, mainly to snigger. I am the kind of narrow-minded rationalist who finds this New Age stuff screamingly funny. A rather personable chap (Paul Emery) banged on about how he could remove the blocked energy flows in our meridians, mainly, it seemed, by rapping on our eyebrows like a woodpecker. It sounded utter nonsense. The snag was it (tapping) seemed to work. An Australian chain smoker instantly pronounced herself cured. There is a perfectly reasonable explanation, I know, but there again …’
Amusingly written! Paul met Michael again later and he said he was very brave to perform such a live class demonstration as it could have gone wrong. Nothing to lose I said 😉
