Here are some of Gillian's favourite comments that her clients have made about working with her, EFT and related energy psychology techniques.
"Initially, I was wary of EFT. Childhood trauma had taught me to trust few people, and rely on even fewer. I was also frightened of reliving old memories, genuinely scared of cracking up. But family life was suffering, so as a last resort I tried EFT. What a relief! Gillian is so professionally spot-on that, if she senses that something is too painful to relive, she uses methods which steer you out of it, so that somehow you get on top of the problem, instead of the problem pressing down on you. My family life has improved more than I could ask for and I am profoundly grateful to Gillian for all her help. My respect for EFT has changed immensely, and I would recommend Gillian and EFT to anyone."
"The session as always was great Gill. You have such a wonderful way of getting beneath the surface. Re the earlier work we did, all has worked out very well – albeit I finally made the decision to cut contact with my father altogether, I believe it was the right decision for me, and I don’t feel any guilt now. And my relationship with my Mother is good, so thank you, your help in that area was priceless."

It has been a pleasure to work with Gill Wightman. She combines a big, kind heart with a quick, sharp mind and an easy sense of fun that brings a gentle humour to even the deepest and darkest issues. I am very happy to endorse Gill as an EFT Trainer, I have seen her work with groups and am quite confident that she can present EFT to you in an engaging manner that is true to its original formulation, is accessible and builds practical confidence from day one.

"I think you should call yourself The Tapping Detective since you're so good at winkling out the roots of the problems. I did have to tap on, Even though I'm determined not to let Gill get me under her beady eye.
Theresa, Fife
Hi Gill
Thanks again for an inspiring, relaxed, fun course. There was a good balance of theory, discussion, practice and the opportunity to observe how it should be done by an expert - hope I can be as good as you one day! I look forward to completing the next stage of training, as your enthusiasm and commitment to EFT convinced me that it is a very valuable skill for helping people.
Pam, Fife
"Re referral - you're welcome -testimony to your skill, patience and caring."
Morag, Fife
"I am happy to tell you I have not had one single piece of chocolate since my visit although I have had a doughnut with chocolate topping!! I have been tapping when I need to although it hasn't been that often. I wouldn't hesitate to contact you again for any reason, thanks again."
Donna, Fife
"Just to say a big thank you for being willing to fit me in at short notice, I really really appreciated that, and of course the actual session itself was very helpful and very revealing............as well as giving me more access to how my child self perceives things I also felt very safe working with you. Having a safe pair of hands to 'hold the space' one works with traumatic memories is powerful medicine."
Maria, London
"Not only do I not crave chocolate anymore, I don't even want to eat biscuits either and we didn't mention biscuits!"
Carol, Fife
"Thank you for having the healing skills to help our baby (CranioSacral Therapy) and her mother (EFT). We are both doing much better. We are so glad you live in Fife and could employ your services to benefit this new family."
"I want to thank you and Tim for the help you have given me with a major turning point in my life. I knew I could depend on you and it made a big difference to my recovery and knowing that you are there to help me if I need it is a big help to me."
Valerie, Angus
"I've been meaning to write and say thank you so very much for the fantastic session you did with Branwen. She almost skipped down the road from your house to the car afterwards saying that she felt as if a great weight had been removed. From that day on she has been able to talk about Roadrunner easily and this has made a great difference to her moods and general attitude. She also came back the home the following morning and told me all about how she was able to tell her best friend that night about the detail of the session without once feeling tearful.
In fact, she was so impressed with EFT and you that she now wants to join in the training course - as she recognises EFT is such a valuable life skill to acquire! In my book I think you could count this resolution of significant trauma as a major success - and I'd be happy for you to use it as a testimonial somewhere if you wish.
" I can't really put into words how much you helped me the other day. I have "not so good" days alot but was having an extremely bad time that day and you rescued me! How do you say "Thank you" for a rescued life? I don't know but I will try.
Karen USA
"There is so much I could talk about when I think of how EFT has helped me. One particular time was when I felt awful at the thought of going on holiday with my family. I thought my miserable existence would make things uncomfortable for them and ruin their holiday. After Gillian treated me we realised it was all to do with a previous experience which had left me feeling unworthy, therefore convincing me I was not good company for anyone. She used EFT with me on that terrible experience and then I went and had a blast. Woohoo EFT!"
Steph,Fife
Just to let you know I have been doing really well since I saw you (THANK YOU!) I couldn't believe the energy I had - on Sunday morning I even got up and my husband a cup of tea - this is unheard of in our house! Even when I have felt tired I have been much more able to cope with it, not felt overwhelmed by it. So thank you for spending the extra time with me, it certainly was worth it!"
HB, Edinburgh
"I continue to be well. Reading my story in Gary Craigs newsletter (Birth Trauma) made me aware of how much has shifted. I've made a break from full time mothering and now work 4 days every second week. I feel some power, strength and confidence returning and I am sure my family are benefitting. Candida symptoms are gone!"
Alison, Fife
"The EFT introductory day you did for us was a great success. All present felt that they now understood what EFT is and how it works even though some of them had known nothing at all about it before. You explained and illustrated the points very well, making it seem straightforward and accessible.Your printed handouts were helpful and it was good to have them to refer to afterwards. The demonstrations you did with us were very effective and we had fun while we learned. I think all of us have since had some treatments from you, and have been well pleased with the results. I know at least five of us continue to use EFT ourselves with good results also. The consensus of opinion was that EFT is a great health treatment and you conducted an excellent seminar about it. Thank you."
Christine, Edinburgh
"I have had 6 EFT sessions with Gill Wightman which have been of great value to me. She is a unique therapist who combines, (on the one hand), the experience, sensitivity, wisdom, and intuition required to tackle profound childhood trauma with, (on the other hand), qualities of warmth, humour and charm. She has been conducting the sessions beautifully and I have made a lot of progress. I have had many consultations with all types of therapists over the past 20 years, and I think she excels over the great majority. I recommend her highly. "
Dear Gill, What a session! I felt born again afterwards. Thank you so much"
SC, London, telephone client
"Gillian is an extraordinary therapist. I have only worked with her over the phone (never met her in person), yet from the beginning she was sensitive to any pause in conversation, to the slightest inflexion in the tone of voice, and most of all to what I was telling her was really important to me. I whole-heartedly recommend her. I feel she truly respects the individual and realizes no two people are the same. We used EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) and yet I felt I was receiving in depth, personalized consultation. Her insight, dedication and sensitivity makes her use of the tool of EFT masterful. When I tap for myself often my upset level does not go down. I need the expert guidance of someone like Gillian who can intuitively go deeper and help me identify some of my larger issues (“tabletops”, in EFT lingo).
Gillian is very aware about not bringing up old trauma’s, that can be very re-traumatizing. She is alert to this, and even as I begin to talk she warns me, so I can distance myself from the scene, using the “movie” technique or some other tool so that I always end up the sessions feeling light, even though the subject matter re-visited has often been really heavy.
Melanie, USA
"Our session made a big difference. I released a lot, I am sure there is more to it but it really feels like a huge difference. Things have happened recently that could of shook me up but I went through it with a sense of being safe and more calmness is how I can describe it. In fact since our session things have been much clearer, I feel very focused and I have never felt so postive in such a long time. I attribute this to our session together. It was awesome. Thank you.
Your approach in my session was very gentle and loving and with known knowledge of how to remove layers of hurt. This allowed me to grow and move forward. Since my last session with you my whole sense of well being felt light and positive. The session with EFT has helped me tremendously with my path of healing and I can only attribute it to you, Gill, for your inner sense of caring and kindness and this allowed me to trust you completely. There is a reason why I contacted you and it was made very clear to me that day. You are truly a gifted person and I thank you - I look forward to working with you again in the future."
Anette USA
"Getting on great, have lost 4lbs in weight while I have been on holiday, unbelievable. I can now have a treat without binging and I never thought that would be possible!"
ER, Aberdeen
"At school I felt stupid and couldn't do stuff. After the tapping I didn't feel stupid anymore and I could do my work easily. I tap myself when I am upset or school or think I can't do something, like when I am rollerblading and I get scared. Mum does it for me when I am frightened or sad or angry but now I can do it for myself too and I like that".
CW, Age 11
"With EFT I found the confidence and strength I didn't know I had to get out of a long abusive relationship and manage life on my own. It also helped me break the pattern of abuse and help me make better decisions about new relationships. I am not making the same mistakes!."
TW, St Andrews
"I hated my baby twisting her fingers in my hair, it made me feel physically sick and very stressed every time she came near me, it was really badly affecting the way I felt about her. It took just 20 minutes of EFT to find out where the root of that feeling was and relieve it. Although it still hurts sometimes, the sickness is completely gone and I can really enjoy my daughter, in fact, I don't even notice when she tugs, until she pulls too hard."
YF, Cupar
"I was 100% sad and purple inside because my granny is dead. Now I am 150% yellow and happy and I know she wants me to be happy and I can laugh again."
Matthew, Age 7
"Before I started the treatments I was so scared! I was petrified of trusting someone else to help me. I was really scared of being happy - because I didn't know how to be. I was having terrible panic attacks and was exhausted because of bad dreams every night. After only a few treatments with EFT I stopped having bad dreams and started to realise that being happy wasn't anything to be scared of. I have managed to deal with stressful situations better than ever before - without panic attacks! Although I have a long way to go I am feeling so much more positive about dealing with my feelings and my past."
MW, Anstruther
"I had been terrified for longer than I can remember that my husband was going to die, and if he did I wouldn't want to live anymore. After a very intensive EFT session that dealt with grief over losing my mother 11 years ago, I am struggling to recall ever feeling that way. It feels like a heavy burden has been removed from my chest and I am alot less anxious."
SK, St Andrews
"Just to let you know that yesterday and the night before was the first time in months that I was pain free and then I was able to have a great night sleep. Today I am good too and just closed my eyes for an hour which never happens. The pain has subsided and I am grateful - I am grateful that you had come into my life and guided me along. Thank you."
