I Was Sceptical…

“During the first session I was sceptical. Then before my next session I decided to open my mind. From then on all the techniques worked. The work I did with Linda took away a huge and unnecessary fear. I became able to see how silly it was and now can lead a normal life.

I’m so pleased to have gained some tools I can use myself to ensure that I’m able to manage my mind and mood in most situations.

At the start my problem was a big thunderstorm in my mind. Now it’s clear skies.”

Linda is a truly remarkable practitioner who not only asks the right questions but listens to the right answers. I love working with her and so will you.

I Would Never Have Been Able To Do This…

“Hi, I am Jianguo. I have had a public speaking phobia for decades. I read many relevant books and have seen a few psychologists. The phobia did not go away.

I was so lucky I met Linda. She dug very deeply into the phobia and figured out the approach that was just right for me. Now, after only 5 sessions, I’ve given a talk at a business meeting with three new faces. And I talked to them later, doing both very confidently.

I would never have been able to do this before our sessions. My boss told me my presence and speaking were amazing. Linda has lifted me out of that persistent public speaking phobia.”

That Feeling Is Gone Forever…

Linda was really great, she has a lovely warm personality, she is very authentic and I felt very much at ease with her. She is an experienced, intuitive worker.

After we finished I felt a new sense of relief. The emotional attachment I had, the discomfort I felt was gone and I felt totally at ease. It has been several weeks since then and I still feel the same, that uncomfortable feeling is gone forever.

Linda is absolutely fantastic, she is very experienced and she gives 100% to every session. I would recommend her to anyone.

I Feel So Fortunate To Have Met You…

“Natasha told me that whenever she had to face a needle she would panic,  scream and shake. She would feel light- headed as if she was going to faint and would not keep still, hold out her arm or look away.

After a few hours work together this is what she says about a blood test…

“I got it done! And on my first attempt! It wasn’t the smoothest blood test, had to be done a second time but I didn’t feel any of that and I still didn’t look! My partner was very helpful while we waited and I was able to maintain a calm state. I used everything you taught me and I just feel so fortunate to have met you at this time in my life.

Thank you so much for everything.”

I Never Felt Judged…

My sessions with Linda were really calm and helpful. I never felt judged and was never anxious before an appointment, instead I was excited. At first I couldn’t understand how just talking could take away my fear which was so strong.

Then I discovered it’s not just talking! Instead it’s like watching a show but you have the remote and can choose how it works out.

Life Changing…

“It’s been life-changing. I now feel equipped to deal with life. After each session I could jump over a car!”

In Five Hours It’s Gone…

“Most people with a spider Phobia think it’s part of them. Not possible to unpick that. But it absolutely is!

I had 40 years of suffering and now in 5 hours it’s gone!

It’s Gone Beyond My Expectations…

“Whenever Beth needed to go to a dentist, hospital even to visit or GP surgery she would panic and want to get out of that situation. If she had to have a needle procedure she would alsoget sweaty hands, cry or sob, her feet would squirm and she’d fiddle with her hands. Like a child.

We were able to visit some of the experiences in her childhood and resolve the trauma that child version had felt. Now she is capable of being an adult in all situations.

Beth says,” I thought everyone was afraid of the dentist. I didin’t know it was possible to have no anxiety! Now I have no anxiety about any needle procedure. During the programme I was able to build up a toolbelt of strategies to eliminate any anxiety that might crop up in any situation. Linda hasn’t just taken away the phobia and let me go off, she’s  given me things to help with all situations. It’s gone beyond my expectations.”

Working With You Was A Revelation!…

Just to let you know that I successfully drove on the motorway last week! I am so grateful that I was guided to you and immensely thankful for your skills that helped so much. Working with you was a pleasure and a revelation! Wishing you every success in your future.

You Notice It’s All Changed...

I used to have to talk to myself before going on a walk “Come on Olivia, there’s nothing to be scared of.” At first I didn’t think you could get rid of my problem working online. But you can!

Now when I go to a place where there are dogs running loose I’m saying “Oh look at that cute dog”! As you’re doing the session it might not seem to be doing anything but then when you see the thing you’re afraid of you notice it’s all changed!

Now I’m getting a puppy just 3 weeks after finishing the programme.

Linda Was Never Judgemental…

I felt extremely relaxed in all the sessions with Linda. No pressure at any time. At first I felt she might not understand how bad my social phobia was but I didn’t need to worry. In the first session Linda began with casual conversation and that allowed me to settle down.

The work we did together allowed me to delve into areas that had been closed. Linda made it possible for me to work this out for myself while she just supported me. She never pushed me but allowed me to work at my own pace.

Linda was never judgmental, always very understanding. I would highly recommend working with her.

Was It Going To Work…

In my first session what we did was unexpected and I wondered if it was going to work. But it definitely does!

I was able to test it and find those anxiety feelings and panic had disappeared. You can just have confidence that it will work. Because it does. Have faith in yourself too.

Linda Creates A New Pattern Of Thinking…

Linda is very good at exploring your unconscious views and she can then unfold that doubt and create a new pattern of thinking.

No matter how I tried I couldn’t get to that myself.

She can make people feel at ease. Even when it’s hard to see what’s wrong she can navigate through that. I would highly recommend you get her to help.

Something Had Changed…

I used to freak out when I saw a dog and now I’m not scared at all. Before we started I didn’t think my problem could be solved. The sessions were helpful and gradually I could tell something had changed. Now I’ve got everything I wanted from the programme.

OCD Gone After 30 Years!..

At first I was a bit nervous about the process but that soon dissipated. Linda has a very easy manner. Amongst my problems was OCD that I’d had for 30 years. Now it’s gone! I never expected it to go. My previous reactions to travel are now all resolved.

Gained Valuable Skills…

From the first moment I spoke with Linda I felt calm and confident that I could share my inner most thoughts and fears with her. Linda has a gentle but effective approach which helped me to feel supported, encouraged and listened to.

Prior to my sessions with Linda I thought about spiders at least once every hour, of every day. As I said to Linda in my consultation, “I would let Hitler into my home to remove a spider”. I had adapted my life around avoiding spiders and felt trapped and anxious most of the time.

Linda has helped me to free myself from this burden and I now go about my day feeling very neutral about spiders, much like any other insect or bug. Linda adapted her way of working to suit my needs and allowed me to have great input in the work we did, such as removing a toy spider from my bath with a glass. Linda’s tools and Lewis’ videos have allowed me to change my thinking about not only spiders but other intrusive and often unkind thoughts about myself and I am so grateful for my new freedom.

I will continue to use these tools and feel I have not only been freed from a phobia but I have gained valuable skills which I will use for life.

It’s A Complete Package

Richard had had this problem for 10 years where he would feel light headed, arms out of control and a stomach rush. 5 years ago it got worse. Now that he’s finished the course this is what he says…

At the beginning I was dubious about whether this would work because I’d tried many other things and they had not. I was living in avoidance mode, rearranging every route and avoiding motorways. I even thought I might have this problem until I stopped driving.

I think what worked about this programme is the sheer breadth of what we did. Also Linda gave me a tool kit to use that immediately put me in control. So it’s a complete package where every element has its use.

For anyone considering booking I’d say definitely give it a go and be completely open-minded. Be prepared for it to be a process.

Now if it happens, it happens!

At first I didn’t think it would work. So the first thing that worked was I stopped dreaming about anybody being sick. I’ve got ways now to calm myself from the Treasure Chest so I don’t worry about it at all.

If I got a stomach ache now I would think if it happens, it happens!

You’ve changed a life.

Before my phobia sessions began, I had a phobia of slugs. I had it for about as long as I could remember and it was becoming difficult to step out of the house when it rained. I remember a feeling of utter terror at the thought of seeing a slug.

On my first impression of Linda and the Phobia Therapy Course, I was vaguely sceptical. How, I thought, could nine forty-minute sessions revert something that had started nine years ago?

It turns out I spoke too soon – my first impression was completely wrong. In our first ever session, Linda established that the sessions were more of helping me overcome my phobia – and that she also wished to help me.

At the end of just that session, more work had been done in forty minutes than in the past nine years. I was still scared, but less so, and I understood why.

Over the next nine weeks, I progressively was scared less and was impressed more. The techniques, reasoning and explanations felt professional (and they worked.)
Now that phobia is a minor fear or discomfort, and I have Linda to thank for it.

For anyone considering booking sessions, I would strongly recommend doing so. The course/sessions work and the people are very kind.

Watching Celebrity Jungle!

I asked mum what improvement she’d noticed in her daughter. She told me she was happier in herself, much more visible in the family…not in her room worrying.

She’s now a normal teenager going out with her friends. Her normal personality has come back. She’s more confident, managed better, doesn’t worry about sick as much. Her mindset is stronger and she actually watches Celebrity Jungle where they eat horrid things and are often heaving!

She’s more brave. Went to Bath on the bus which she would not have done before.

She eats out, can try a takeaway which would have been out of the question at first. She’s not checking dates as much either. They just joke about it.
