Wal helped my partner and myself going through a tough time and needing to talk I reached out after my partner was struggling with addiction and going through recovery. Wal was very supportive and recognised I also needed some tools to help me recognise and support emotions and feelings I at the time dealing with what felt like the worst time in my life. The turmoil is hard when supporting those close through addiction and it takes it toll but with support guidance advice and the right tools life has changed and things have gone from strength to strength am thankful to each and every person who supported his journey for my partner, myself and my family as we are reaping the rewards after so long in a dark place. Honestly, thank you for all the support keep doing amazing things for people who need it but also most importantly who want to change Xxxx

Started being coached with Wal from the arty buddha around 4 months ago and it has completely changed me
It’s helped me with business, family, friends, mentally and more
I have even recommended his coaching to some friends I believe will benefit from him
My only wish is that I started it earlier
Thank you for everything

WOW ! !!! This guy is amazing, the techniques and tools he gives you are mind-blowing. I have learned so much about myself while on my journey with him, understanding yourself and living in control and peace is a new chapter in my life, a happy peaceful life enjoying my family and friends and everything in the moment is amazing. There is so much more to life that we are not aware of lost in the day-to-day grind, my journey is empowering to say the least, I can not speak highly enough of him. when it all clicks it clicks if you know what I mean haha. This man will run through walls to be there for you. He will ask you the questions that you have never dared to ask yourself, all the answers to all our problems are within us all, you just need Wal to prompt you and guide you to embrace your fears and Live your life in such an amazing way xxx
He has given me my life back, given my children their farther back and my wife her husband back !!

Wal has all the answers but he doesn’t just give them away. Instead, he challenges you to dig deep, question everything you’ve become conditioned to believe about yourself, your habits and the world around you and look at everything from a new perspective. And that’s why what he does works.
I’d always been quite a self critical person and over the last few years especially, I’d started to doubt myself to the point that I was in constant turmoil - I was emotional all of the time, I’d question every decision I made and I genuinely felt like I had lost control of my thoughts.
During my first session with Wal I had an actual lightbulb moment; after working through some positive and negative traits and looking at how they come across in different situations, I realised that my emotions were mine to control and no one else’s. I realised that every reaction and every thought pattern I had was a choice and that was powerful.
For a long time I’d been comfortable in blaming other people and circumstances for how I was feeling and that’s why nothing had ever changed. But when you realise that every single one of your thoughts has the power to change your life, it becomes incredibly difficult not to make a conscious decision to think and act differently!
Now, whenever an intrusive thought comes into my head I break it down, l rationalise it and I put it to bed. These thoughts have gone from being present every hour of every day to being few and far between, usually when I’m feeling run down or tired, and now that I’m aware I can shut them off before they take hold.
My reactions aren’t perfect all of the time but they are getting better! What I genuinely love now is that I recognise straight away when I’ve reached badly which gives me the chance to change my thought process there and then so I’m not dragging any negativity forward with me.
I can honestly say that my whole outlook has changed after meeting Wal and my life is getting better and better by the day. Wal helped me re-realise my worth and now I’m more selective about where I place my energy which helps me stay focused on my own goals and happiness. I’m kinder to myself, more thankful for what I have and most of all, I’m excited about what is on its way to me.
Whatever you need help with, I have no doubt that Wal is the man for the job. He is one of the most beautiful souls I have ever met in my life and his light is truly infectious. Knowing Wal makes you want to be better, so if you’ve been thinking about reaching out, do it - I promise you won’t regret it!

The arty Buddha was recommended to me and I am so glad I contacted wal. After years of suffering with my anxiety and mental health I had finally found someone who could not only understand my suffering but could finally help me turn it around by retraining my brain and giving me the tools I needed to feel like a new person. My sessions with wal were a massive part of me turning my life into what I had always wanted and much more. I was finally in control of MY life. I finally found myself which made not only me a happier person but also my children. Wal is the kindest most gentle soul I have ever met and he is a genius. I would definitely recommend people to take a look and u will not be disappointed. I cannot thank him enough.

Wal this is Jimmy posting (I can't seem to change my YouTube name for this review).
I met with Wal for a 14 week course of treatment. I started the course with a mix of negative feelings about myself and my life with a couple of specific issues. I was amazed to find that I felt reassured about the treatment even from my first meeting. I hadn't been expecting that but Wal gives you confidence that he really can help and almost from the start I felt my feelings lift a little. Each subsequent meeting has reinforced all the good vibes I had from the beginning. I have a lot to thank Wal for as I near the end of my course becauseI can see the changes in myself and know that if I keep doing all that Wal has suggested I will continue to feel stronger and better in myself.

First went to see wal in September, he was the help I had needed for nearly 10 years after going through some pretty tough times. From the second I met him he instantly made me feel better with the magical aura and infectious smile . He knew how to ask questions I didn’t even know I needed to answer ! Within my time with him and our sessions I always come away stronger, happier calmer and full of a new found self love . I will be eternally grateful to have him in my life !

I have used Wal for help through a rough patch in my marriage and help for my daughter who was suffering crippling anxiety he was amazing. I know about his work with addiction and dependency and messaged him when a relative who is very dear to me messaged me in crisis and told me they had addiction issues. Wal was amazing and offered to help right away here is a message I sent to my relative about Wal and how he works he is everything I have written here and is extremely knowledgeable in his field. “glad you’re ok Wal messaged me and said see if you are ok he is such a geniuine and compassionate man and he was worried you was not ok as I had told him how bad you felt this morning which then got me worried, all I can say is this step is like stepping off a platform of a bungee jump the fear is real just before you step but once you do and you see that the elastic snaps you back and doesn’t let you fall it gives you the most amazing feeling of joy and exhilaration(which is life). That is taking that step with Wal he is your elastic he will give you back joy and exhilaration by giving you the tools you need to feel life properly, this demon makes you think you feel but you only feel pain that’s what it wants you to feel so you keep feeding him but you don’t feel all the amazing things in life that you would do if you stopped your demon his tracks there’s so much joy to be had, don’t miss out on any more 💚💚💚💚” I wholeheartedly recommend Wal 100%

What can I say about this diamond geezer!
I walked into his premises 4 weeks ago, my arrogant, angry mixed up self. Within minutes (literally) he had me calm and opening up. He knew the right words that really resonated with me. This guy is a genius. He is so caring and compassionate and he simply loves helping people!
You can sense his immense pride when he watches people transform and turn things around with his help.
Session four has been and gone and already I have started to think differently. I am learning to put myself first and make the right choices in life for the first time in a long time! Thankfully my anger seems to be subsiding, I’m a nicer person to be around generally and most importantly, I’m feeling positive about myself and my future!
Wal, you absolute legend - we have a long road ahead of us and I hope it’s as enjoyable as the last month has been. I really appreciate your help so far and look forward to evolving together ????????????

Wal is an amazing man with coaching qualities that are second to none. I've known him for about a year now and during this time he's used his skills and experience within the field of addiction recovery to help me turn my life around. He's truly the only person throughout many years of seeing counsellors and experiencing addiction recovery services, who has been able to really see inside me and drill down to the root of the problem, in order for me to start fixing things.
Wal is honest, friendly, committed and leads by example.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him for any kind of coaching or therapy issues as his passion and experience are unrivalled!

I spoke to Wal regarding help for a friend and at the end of our conversation he offered to help me. I'm very glad that he did as I'm not a person who would reach out for help, even after being told to go to bereavement counselling by a Dr, I couldnt make the first step. I was struggling with grief and was blocking it out. At my first meeting with Wal he instantly pointed out my anger was a problem just from watching and listening to me talking. He was right! I have struggled to manage my anger for years. I trusted him after my first session so I was able to speak and open up which is another thing I don't usually do. He makes you look at things from a different perspective, he is very easy to talk to and is always there at the other end of the phone if you need to talk. I have noticed in a few sessions how much calmer I am by not letting anger ruin my day. I feel so much better in such a short space of time and I'm looking forward to to continuing to work with Wal so I can be the best version of myself. Wal is a lovely person with a big heart who genuinely cares and is passionate about helping people. Would highly recommend Wal to anyone looking for support.

Thank you to my very own personal life coach Wal for helping me to change the way my mind thinks and improve my mental health wellbeing. These sessions have trained me to overcome my own difficulties, strive to set/achieve new life goals and overcome setbacks with ease.
With the help of Wal, I now focus on the present and the future and I am conscious of how I feel and my behaviour. Thank you for teaching me to shift my focus from negative to positive thoughts, and how to stay motivated when life gets tough.
Love you always xx

I would describe my experience of Wal’s guidance as life changing. He has such an incredible way of listening to a clouded and muddy thought, picking it apart, cleaning it up and handing it back to you crystal clear, if I ever go into a conversation with him feeling lost I am guaranteed to leave it having found clarity and peace of mind.
There is no person, business or product I would recommend more than this man, I owe my happiness to him.
