EFT Testimonials


Here are some of Gillian's favourite comments that her clients have offered about working with her, EFT and related energy psychology techniques and her approach.

I have just started working with Gillian and within minutes of talking I knew we were on the same wave length.  After the first 2 hours I felt great and as the week progressed I had a mental clarity that I haven't felt for a long, long time.  I am so excited to be with her, I know she will see me through this minefield or horrors that I have surrounded myself with and bring me out on the other side.  She is warm and really cares - an angel waiting for me to find her.  Here's to a free future.

Kim, France

Gillian is compassionate, patient, wise from experience and learning. She has the gentle and masterful skill of helping you find words to name the invisible overwhelm. She has that rare gift of creating a safe and non-judgmental space for your
vulnerabilities to sit exposed, in the open. Then, with such care and subtlety, she will walk with you and help you create a new possibility in your life, a new story from an old wound. It’s like the confidence you might have when you’re a passenger in a car with someone whose driving you trust so much that you could fall off to sleep and know that you’ll be quite safe.....

Although I have been an EFT Practitioner for 3 years I had never had the experience of working with another Practitioner on my own issues until I met Gillian.  I had the mistaken impression that since I had this wonderful tool (EFT) at my disposal I should be able to clear my own "stuff".  That could not be further from the truth.  I have completely enjoyed allowing someone else to be in the "driver's seat".  It is wonderful to allow yourself to be supported by someone you trust.  Gillian is extremely intuitive and has gently but efficiently guided me through the process of clearing some really deep seated issues, even though I am quite skilled at keeping them hidden.  I especially appreciate her understanding that sometimes we need someone to bear witness to our traumas before they are cleared.  Gillian is  a wonderfully skilled Therapist.

I contacted Gillian about 6 month ago in a point of my life when I was really confused. Filled with anger and resentments towards myself and my partner who I love very much. Following an incident at home I realised that my problem was really deep and serious and decided that I needed some help from somewhere but didn't know where to find it. I came across EFT through my partner who practiced EFT herself so I started to phone various  people who were EFT therapist but couldn't relate to any of them. Why? I was not hearing what I needed to hear.


That was until I spoke to Gillian for the first time it was on the phone and right away i felt something positive and concrete like Gillian knew what i was feeling due to events in my life (and hope you don't mind saying that Gillian ) but in your life too and it was a relief to know that i was not alone and felt that there was light at the end of the tunnel.

I was married for fifteen years and my ex wife  is suffering from Schizophrenia and still is. I've been aware of it only after the birth of our second child were she got sectioned and discovered  that her family hidden that fact from me and could not believe what was happening I was 19 years old when I came to Scotland from France. By the age of 24 my life was turn upside down all the dreams, happiness that I could have had, had been stolen from me,and thought that's it now I have to look after my ex wife, my children and I accepted it because I loved her as well as loving my children but it turned from bad to worse and lived a nightmare from then on. We had another child after that which I didn't want (may God forgive what I'm saying) but she refused to have an abortion.  As soon as my little girl was born 3 days later she was back in Hospital for 6 months and I was left to pick  up the pieces, she never made any effort, drinking too much, taking drugs never took her prescribed medicines which led to my decision to leave her.

I gave up my job to look after my children and felt so bitter for what they had  been through  promised myself and my children that I would never meet anybody else ever. I was full of ANGER towards everyone except my children whom I adore.
Then nearly 5 years later I met a lovely lady at a point of my life were I was ready to go back home (in France) and fell in love again but she realised that my problem was real and dangerous for us as a couple. So I contacted Gillian met with her and instantly I saw somebody with whom I could relate to and knew that I was going to get somewhere using an EFT technique which I knew nothing about. Gillian didn't judge me, didn't try to change me nor telling me what I should have or not done or prescribed me any pills, it was not easy, really hard in fact to relive that time of my life. I was so anxious nervous even scared to share it with somebody but Gillian's approach made me at ease. 

My problem was within me and me only but one thing I'm sure of  is I would not have been able to do it without Gillian and will always been thankful to you  to have made me more relaxed and most important to have given me a way to face up to the ANGER I had and I can honestly say that it nearly disappear  I've chosen space for it to be and that's were it is by the power of tapping.  I know  have a long way to go before I can say I'm there or I'm totally free but I know that there is a light  at the end of the tunnel. Gillian helped me notice it.

I would not have any hesitation to recommend EFT as well as Gillian to anybody as a complementary therapy.

Nicolas, ex-France, Fife


"Thank you so much Gillian.  I feel so much relief, even just from getting in there, being handled and guided gently.  I really really appreciate your way of working.  You really inspire me to develop the gentle techniques in my own approach, as it makes such a monumental difference.  Right now I kind of feel like I've just finally managed to crack open a lock that I've been trying to fiddle open for ever, like some one who has been patiently and skillfully breaking into a massive safe, and they've just heard that vital 'click'.  I feel like I'm resting against that safe going 'Whoa!  I knew I'd get it finally!!!!'  Thank you so much!!!"

Alexa, Glasgow


I would just like to say the biggest thank you to Gillian she is a lovely none judging person, and a fantastic EFT therapist that really knows her stuff. Gillian makes you feel at ease and safe and even when you have a bad session (which is really a good session as you are getting to the bottom of things) she always manages to make me laugh.

I have been going to Gillian for over a year or so now and using the EFT therapy I feel I am getting to know myself better, dealing with issues in my life that I know get me down and the very deep things that are harder to deal with that are buried with in me Gillian is helping me bring them to the surface and understand why I act the way I do. I also do my tapping when I feel stressed about things in day to day life I find the therapy fantastic and a wonderful experience, it still amazes me  and I recommend it to anyone that has issues no matter how big or small. I also bring my 7 year old son to Gillian to help him with his reading.All my family are great believers of this therapy but we are also lucky to have Gillian as our therapist. So again thank you Gillian.

  Kelly, Fife

Thanks for your email – helpful! I set up a Choice Statement using the Bucket/Shaming theme. It’s working really well and I’m not getting the headaches when dealing with the Printers. Amazingly, when I went in to deal with the guy at the Printers (who I was having all those problems with), he behaved differently, without that exasperated friggen' attitude. I’m much more sure-footed in knowing that it’s an equal responsibility for what happens and, even though I still feel quite nervous in those situations and still have some of that “I’m an incompetent troublemaker” lurking about, the intensity has gone way down and I can observe myself without the incredible brain fog and overwhelm I was getting. I’m sure there are other aspects to this that I’ll be triggered about.... but I’m so excited, it’s such major progress for me!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH.

RC, New Zealand


Thank you for the wonderful session yesterday, it was very intense for me since we treated so many issues at the same time... So many issues I've ever dreamed to fix since 2 years now....

It was intense and funny at the same time.

I had a phone call with my "boyfriend" and I could feel how the anxiety was gone... He actually told me that he would leave very soon (next week) and I wasn't feeling sad or anything, I was only happy for him.

I really like EFT, I think it is the best therapy in this world !!

Sylvie, France


I've done EFT, on and off for 5 years with a couple of other practitioners as well as by myself. Gillian uses brilliant new techniques which compliment EFT perfectly. Her caring, compassionate and intuitive style helps me feel understood and valued as a person (which is rarely the case for me).

I was dreading going deep into my childhood traumas to heal. I'm so glad I chose to that with Gillian though because I found I don't have to relive the pain (or share details if I didn't want to) to gain peace about it and move on! 

Gillian is helping me to see myself in a positive light. I'm looking forward to my next session with her!


Claire, London


Thanks so much for yesterday, since I have felt much more whole, integrated and balanced. I am very grateful to the way you work and feel you are the therapist I've been looking for to help this process of healing from a level of trauma. So thanks! I had a wonderful evening, and still feel great now. It's funny after the sessions with another therapist, I felt high, but feeling high is no where near as good as feeling whole and settled in myself, which I still feel now, and a low will inevitably follow a high.

I think most of the language you used was an accurate reflection, and it brought out things I wouldn't have noticed on my own, so it's good the way you do that I feel. There may have been certain things I wasn't sure were an accurate reflection, but certainly generally yes, and that it's worth it anyway for what it brought out.

Fine to not go in to a memory, not sure one would've come anyway! Feels a great approach to take.

Frances, Sheffield

"I was aware of... --both-- ...my intellectual part, who was trying to "save my face", desperately trying to keep "head above water", so to speak, and ...on the other side ...I was also aware of the part of me experiencing body reactions that I didn't want to have anything to do with. But --from the very beginning of the session -- it was the Gillian's ability to relate to both of them at the same time which reassured them both. And it was Gillian's ability to relate to both of them which helped them both accept each other's presence which made it, furtherly, possible for both my parts to make the proverbial "leap of faith" and "expect the unexpected" help in the situation where the wounded part was not able to conceive any help at all !!!

If Gilllian would hurried up the process and would not allow a whole year for the trust to be built, the trust needed to let either "the inconceivable help to happen" or "have our soul murdered again by the trust being betrayed again", no leap of faith would could be done in this session.

Thanks to Gill allowing firm foundation to be built first, everything else went smoothly...


SK, Slovenia


"I have been wondering about EFT sometimes, is it EFT or is it the right therapist for you that works? May be for me it is both, I do not know. What I know is that I didn't stick to other therapies for long enough because I did not feel I could really open up with the practitioner.

I feel that when you are vulnerable the only way for you to "heal" and get better is to open up completely, drop your barriers and be honest. I feel that I have been allowed to do this only with you. I have felt your open heart, your true love for eft and helping people, your "love" for me and who I am, without judging me, accepting all parts of me, I have felt your skills and your limitations as a human being and this has made me care for you more and open up more. I feel that sometimes one hour is definitely too short and that my heart would like to open up completely and show it all. Yes, time is the only thing that stops me from letting go completely.

I love and cherish the way you hold my energy and emotions and I know that you are there to catch me if I fall, this is why I trust to dare more and open up the best and the worst with you. Your energy is definitely different from all the other therapists I have worked with, more genuine, human, this is not just work for you, it is part of your being and your life, and I can feel this.

Your limitations and your struggles are very humbling and you seem to put yourself at my level, never above, just holding my hand, not leading me or pushing me where I am not ready to go.

I really respect you as a human being and know that you haven't just "read the book" but you have been walking the walk, and a bloody hard one sometimes.
I truly feel enriched through having met you, and I am not just saying this in a fluffy or superficial way. I think I am a fairly sensitive person and I am quite good at feeling "genuine" people.

I can feel your big and strong parts of you and I can see the little and afraid parts of you, and with all this you hold on tight to me during my sessions with your love, patience, intuition, understanding.

I do not know really how to put it exactly into words, but I have a very strong feeling in my heart chakra when I think of who you are and I just wish all the other therapists that I have had could eat a bit more humble pie and come off that pedestal."


Alessandra, England


"I do not know how I found Gillian for my EFT experience, but I am grateful to the "link" that connected us. I am in Kansas, USA and she is far away, but within a few moments on the phone with her I felt like she was next door and I had found a real possibility for assistance with my very complex PTSD. Gillian is always consistent, patient, kind and supportive. One of the statements she would make if I hit real grief and could not speak for crying or just frozen, was "I am here Joann, and I am holding a space for you." I can not tell you how that helped me. Her compassion and caring are so sincere. With Gillian I am not judged or critiqued or put on a time limit for "getting over it". And the thing you will find as well when working with Gillian is how much integrity she has. If you are uncomfortable with a process, she will listen and work in ways that benefit your style not her own. I had difficulty with my first EFT therapy experience because of the rigidity of that practitioner. I was relieved to have someone who really wanted our work to be SAFE!! She follows Gary in the belief of empowering people to be their own therapist and will lead you to many, many "free" tools so that you are able to do your own work at your own pace, even if she is not on the phone! Thank You Gillian for ALL that you do, you have a truly loving heart.

Joann H, Kansas, USA.

"I discovered EFT after more than ten years of searching for solution to my problems, I have tried several different therapies and countless self-help approaches, and although nearly every one of the methods I tried had some good aspects none of them really helped me.

After several months of self tapping I knew that EFT is what I was looking for but I just couldn't access my mind on the right level, all the problems were resistant to being addressed and no matter what tapping technique I used I just couldn't resolve them. Later on I began to work with Gill and things began to change.

When tapping with Gill all the difficulties with resistance suddenly disappear and some part of me knows that I can very much trust her and thus the journeys into my mind are amazing discoveries of the inner world which otherwise would be inaccessible. I usually feel very bad about things I discovering and I would feel ashamed to share it with anyone, however Gill's non-judgmental approach makes it possible to open and deal with it. Although I have still long way to go, some very positive changes happening, I am no more depressed from not being able  to do anything with my problems and I beginning to see improvements.

I look forward every next session because it's always great experience and although not always pleasurable I know that Gill will help me to deal with whatever will come out."

Petr, skype client, Czech Republic


"Half a dozen sessions with Gillian have made a huge difference to the quality of my life and healed me in areas that other therapists have failed to reach. I suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, as a result of childhood trauma and have regular flashbacks, which according to the Western Medical Model are virtually untreatable. Gillian has helped me reduce the intensity of these, when they occur. One frequent flashback is the need to run away and Gillian spent one session helping me tap and shake out the urgency to run, in a way I could not have faced using other therapeutic methods. Gillian's approach is gentle, kind and respectful.
Many of her advanced techniques ensure safety, whilst working on difficult issues. She has a greaty theoretical knowledge to back up her practical approach.
I recommend her as a therapist, even thought I have yet to meet her face to face."


Linda Phone Client England

"Well things have definitely shifted for me. The day after my session with you I was feeling so much lighter that my daugher asked a couple of times "Are you ok mummy?!" she was taken aback that I was willing to connect and play with her. That was a bit of a wake up!  Also the image of my family when I was a child that we worked on got even better. From the original image of my dad being really disconnected and everyone being miserable, in the session it changed to us being happy and connected and over the last few days it's changed to us us all having a laugh! I realise that sometime over the tea table we must've been happy but I got sooo stuck with the miserable,  disconnected image that I just couldn't see past it.
That night my husband made the tea unprompted and we all sat down together and had a lovely meal.

I went to see my dad yesterday and was able to look at him with love and empathy rather that anger and frustration at his inability to take responsibility for his health.
My massive feelings of resentment towards my husband have gone. I've also dug out my copy of "the artist's way" which I bought a few years ago and have never done. I've started doing the morning pages, it's all about unblocking the creative flow , and my friend came the day after the session and asked me to redesign her garden.

A little later: "Well thought you'd like to know that after more than a year of being stuck and not being able to agree on a house we have bought a fantastic house with an enormous garden which is just what we wanted. We are very excited.
things certainly shifted after that last session. Many thanks to your skill and the wonders of eft!!"


Alison, Fife

 "I am happy to have the opportunity to write about your positive qualities as a therapist.  I think one of your most important qualities and one that is essential for working effectively with trauma victims is your first hand experience as someone who has also experienced trauma.  Your experiences give you the fundamentally important ability to build rapport and trust with trauma victims because you truly understand their experience.  I believe this gives you an appreciation for the pitfalls and unique blocks that can be major impediments to success when using traditional EFT for trauma victims.  I had worked with several other therapists before you who were skilled, intelligent, and committed to getting results for their clients, but they didn't really understand my process like you do.  Many times I would leave those sessions feeling much worse, and have a major emotional breakdown within 24 hours.  Usually attacking people in my life, or feeling depressed or hopeless.  Also, their frustration at my lack of progress was obvious and then it felt like I was doing something wrong so it ended up that I was even more down on my self after these sessions.  There were some practitioners who were so committed to their EFT regimen that they were very systematic and inflexible about the process, words used, sequence of points, etc...I felt forced to follow their approach even though my process was happening much faster and in a much more dynamic way, which led to frustration and once again me not trusting myself or my process.  What I appreciate so much about you is that you are very flexible and adaptable in your approach, you let me lead the process knowing when to use words, go to pictures, use metaphors, focus on somatic responses, etc...and you have also educated me on these different approaches so that I may use EFT on my own in safe and effective ways.  You have an uncanny intuition that I believe stems directly from similar experiences of trauma, and a deep understanding of the free flow of the unconscious mind.  You never judge my process or make me wrong or impose a certain methodology.  You respect the conscious and unconscious processes. You help me to work through my stuff with so many tools and avenues which allow us to truly get to the heart of the matter effectively and safely.  It has been a profound process working with you, and although it still amazes me, I feel like there is a major shift EVERY time I work with you.  You are intelligent, analytical and compassionate, able to access your intelligence, intuition, and emotions so well and so congruently that you are a truly exceptional therapist.  And, I also think you have a tremendous amount of personal integrity that is evident in the way you run the business side of your practice.  You are very professional and very personable, and I feel extremely lucky to have found you and to have the opportunity to work with you." 

Mary-Helen, USA

"Hi Gillian,

Just to let you know that I'm grateful for the session we had and the insights you gave me. I used the watcher and the soldiers and was able to see the internal structure that existed. That along with other things I coupled and the grace that I received led me to one of the most if not the most sacred moment in my life ... the encountering of my self and the truth set me free.

For years I had been so ANGRY with my SELF and I hated myself for I had so many false beliefs about me . For that deep hatred for me came my deep hatred for my parents, my family, my world really and I used shame and blame . Gillian it was such a truly blessed moment to come to , to see my "self" that I was avoiding and shift that final stone. I cannot explain it ..I can only say what it felt like and even that is pale .

I am a new person today. I feel different. Like I've never felt before. A certain freedom .

I know that you have been  through the same journey and I know at some day I can share my experiences with others . I hope to meet you , and learn from you through conversations , for it takes courage to go through it all and assist others. 

With much gratitude and love"

Vicente, Goa, India


'I would describe you as a dedicated and focused practitioner who is empathetic,caring, extremely skillful, creative, yet having a light touch i.e. sensitive to when humour is appropriate. You are undaunted by extreme affect that the client may bring and offer safety and stability with compassion whilst the client is gently encouraged to face the difficulty.

You are obviously well trained in EFT procedures as well as being well read in pyschology and mental health. You offer a wealth of understanding with accurate listening with the ability to maintain boundaries and still be fully human!!!!"

Joan, Yorkshire

 

"This is what comes to mind for your qualities as a practitioner. You are very empathetic and sensitive and able to verbalize for me when I can't find the words myself. Intelligent and knowledgeable and therefore able to understand or find out what the causes of a problem are and to try appropriate techniques to address them. You are able to deal with very traumatic experiences in a way that feels safe.  You find and use the techniques which work best for me as an individual.  You genuinely care. You help me to identify and work towards important goals.

Gillian understands completely how it feels to have experienced trauma, and this means she really does understand what I am going through, and this in turn allows me to trust her absolutely."

Paula, Liverpool

 

A pioneer in the field of managing DID. A good grasp of clients problems, including some very esoteric ones, and a method of resolving conflicts arising from the problems. Empathic understanding of how client feels."

David, Worcester


"There’s something about the quality of your voice that works  - it basically has a gentle rather than a harsh tonality.  I felt safe enough to believe you wouldn’t judge me for my pain and shame. This was partly because of what came over the phone and partly because of all the amazingly open, honest and generous contributions you make to the emofree.com forums.  You seem to have a very quick understanding  of what the problems are, and though I’ve only worked with you three or four times, I can’t imagine that there’s much that your creativity, flexibility and experience couldn’t handle.

I may well come back to you for more sessions in the future.  The thing that I have become more and more aware of is the extent that my life is being run by early programming." 

Ros, London


"I had chosen Gillian from the different articles she wrote in the EFT Newsletter. They seem to talk to me. Gillian is an extremely sensitive and excellent psychotherapist. I loved the way she pinned down the core belief in relation to the problem and the “event” it was linked to. I felt an immense relief and realised a few days afterwards how much more lovable I felt."

Caroline Dubois

"You are insightful, brave, gentle, intuitive, incredibly patient and consistent with leading but not pushing us to far, helping us to face our fears or find our secrets and blind spots without taking us anywhere we aren't ready to go."

Joann and her alters, USA


I feel you are a good listener, you never judge me, you are very  supportive during the sessions and in between sessions when I need  some help. I do not find you intimidating as I know part of what you have been through in life and I know that you are just like all of  us. I feel you are so genuine that most of the time I feel like you  are a friend helping me and not a therapist, but at the same time  you are really professional. You are honest and you never give me  false hopes, but at the same time you are encouraging me a lot. You seem to have a very good knowledge of EFT and are teaching me to  tackle different problems with different techniques. Last but not  least you seem to love the mountains as much as I do (even if it  sounds you are a bit fitter than me), so you cannot be anything else  than a very nice person! Well, I am just so happy that I found you!"

Alessandra, England


"I meant to get in touch before but I've been away. Just wanted to say thanks so much for the work you did in the last session. All those issues I've had with my dad have completely disappeared , something I could never have imagined before as it was such a big issue for me and I feel so much better for it.I'm pretty sure the milk issues has gone (so thankyou for that as well) though I still have a few allergy issues which I'd like to work through with your help. you're an absolutely fantastic practitioner. 

Thankyou!

Clarissa, Nottingham


"Hi, I recommend this therapy to any-one. I was very wary of this before I went but within 5 mins of meeting Gillian felt very comfortable. I really didn't know what to expect but now that I have been I know it is no where near as daunting as I thought and am very glad I done it. I have never been the type of person that speaks about things and for me to go to someone about past experiences was very difficult, but as I said am so glad i done it and am sure now I am going down the right path.

Thanks to Gillian."

EMILY, FIFE


"I experienced my EFT session with Gillian as profoundly healing. My intention for the session was to let go of the critical part of myself which has a habit of devaluing most of the things I do. Gillian's understanding and compassionate way of working gently guided me to the places I needed to explore, which was exactly what I needed. As a result of this one session, I have been able to understand myself better, be kinder to myself and feel a lot more positive, since the need to criticize myself has greatly diminished.

I am very grateful to Gillian, in particular for the invaluable insights I have gained. The greatest shift in healing occurred  when I briefly experienced a sense of what it feels like to become whole again by acknowledging and fully accepting all the parts and aspects that make up the whole of me - meeting myself with love and compassion rather than judgment and criticism."
Manuela, England


"I started my journey to my true self with Gillian a few months ago...the journey is still ongoing and endlessly wonderful.  I've tried for many years to overcome overeating, low self esteem, severe acne, yeast problems and avoidance of confrontation.  I'm now on the path and have the knowledge that at last after years of wasted efforts I've found something and someone who can help.

Further to my first session with Gill I repaired and created a relationship with my mother, to find that the answer to our problems was not that I was unlovable but that I was loved so much that my mother was frightened she would hurt me was life changing.  It has changed my entire life.  Just this one step would have been enough...

I am now re-examining all the behaviour patterns which I developed in the fear of being unlovable and am beginning to get to know the funny loving person that my Mother is. 

Thank you Gill - the most moving words I have ever heard came from my own mouth were "my mummy loves me".

You have helped with.........difficult family relationships, life guidance (finding out what you actually want to do), body pain, comfort eating, changing damaging behaviour patterns, self esteem, listening to the voices of the fears within - and understanding and listening to them.

P.G. Aberdeen

 

"I asked Gillian to help me with my problem of using food to deal with my emotions. I compulsively overate. I did this every day, several times a day. I have tried all sorts of things for 17 years to try and overcome it. I’ve tried many, many times to stop this, been on numerous ‘plans’ to overcome this and have seen a psychologist. I hated myself for my overeating and being overweight. I thought I’d never get over this as it was so deeply entrenched. In two sessions with Gillian she got to the root of the problem and fixed it with EFT. I am still in awe of the results, the compulsion is gone. Whereas previously I had to try to put up with the pain, panic, stress, compulsion to eat etc which anyone who has experienced this knows it’s horrible and ultimately every time I would end up giving up. After EFT with Gillian it is effortless. I have no desire to eat when I’m not hungry, it’s just gone. I am losing weight without trying at all. I can’t believe this has happened to me after all these years of struggling, it’s amazing.

I am so grateful to have found Gillian, she is so skilled at what she does, she makes you feel safe and is someone you can really trust. I definitely recommend contacting her."

BF, England


"When I contacted you I was in emotional turmoil.  Now I feel I can cope and move on with the rest of my life, thank you for your help."

Lynda, England

"After having tried the services of more than a half dozen EFT practitioners over the last few years I am really happy that I have finally found Gill. Gill is compassionate, understanding and insightful and she really knows how to apply EFT in a way that get's you results. She has the ability to find the right words so that you can tune into your issues helping you to move forward. I feel that in every session I let go of some important issues and/or gain some important insights, which had already a positive effect on my life." 

I really appreciate your work and on regular occasions I felt an enormous energy boost after working with you. Quite a lot of tears - releasing old pains - which is a good thing for me, as most therapists seem to fear to go where it hurts. That has at least been my experience.

In fact it took me over 5 years to find again another true EFT expert - YOU. Therefore I have absolutely no hesitation to make use of your services again...or recommend you to other people."

Carsten, Germany

"Finding a practitioner who is able to handle the huge emotions connected with severe childhood trauma is quite the challenge. Just 2 weeks before my session with Gill, I had been told by the practitioner I was working with that "I was too much, this was more than she could handle". So when I contacted Gill, I was pretty skeptical, but to my relief I found Gill to be completely calm and fully competent to guide me through the trauma without skipping a beat.  She was a gentle yet powerful force in the midst of the insanity and she navigated me through the experience very gently and easily, allowing me to express the emotions without getting lost in them. With Gill by my side, I was able to go where I had not dared tread by myself. It was a deeply healing session.

I highly recommend Gill, especially if you have experienced severe trauma, which others seem unable to handle."

'And of the people who could handle me, you are the first and only to be able to both handle what happened to me AND be compassionate and warm and caring as well.  Most other people go deep into detachment and then claim that detachment is the only way to truly help somebody- I was never too sure about that. And after my experience with you and feeling how healing your caring, loving approach is - I know that what you do, the way you are truly there for your client, that is the right way to do this healing work. Hats off to you, Gill! You have my deepest respect.'

HELLE, USA

 

"I need to feel safe when I work with a practitioner because I'm choosing to go deeper into issues that I cannot access alone, and from the moment I hear her voice I know I'm in a very safe pair of hands. Gill makes everything seem possible, nothing fazes her and she listens really well. I can safely splurge and be a total mess and she somehow contains it all and finds a path through to release. You really do get what it says on the box - caring, gentle and compassionate healing."

MARIAN, EFT PRACTITIONER, LONDON

"Thank you so much for the session today.  In a gentle and compassionate way, you helped to heal a part of me that badly needed healing.  I’m grateful that you saw past what I said and thought the problem was, to the real problem.  After our session, I felt a lightness in body and mind, as well as a sense of tremendous relief.  I’ve worked with a number of EFT practitioners, and I felt that I made more progress in an hour with you than I did in weeks with some others.  Your nature shines through in your work."

Pat, EFT Practitioner, California


"I have been working with Gillian since last November. My original problems were binge eating, low self esteem, depression and unresolved trauma from childhood abuse. I got in touch with Gillian after years of therapy which had not really got very far. It has not been an overnight miracle but I have begun to find things changing that I thought I would have to live with forever. I have begun to be more insightful about myself and found that I am beginning to be able to help myself and use tapping as a tool to improve my life. My marriage is better and I am beginning to feel more connected to life and less alone.

Gillian is very insightful and seems to be able to mind read sometimes! She is caring and sympathetic and has never made me feel stupid no matter what I tell her. I would recommend her without hesitation - if you think no one can help you, call Gillian because it's a call you will never regret.

The day my Grandma called and told me my aunt had died from breast cancer I was totally surprised at the amount of grief I felt, it was as if I had lost my Mother, I felt myself sinking farther and farther into what was already a very deep depression, I was scared and I suddenly felt more than alone, I missed her dearly she had in a very real way been a Mother to me for a very long time, and now she was gone and I was left with my Mother.

Over the next few weeks the heavy weight in my stomach turned into a big ball of anger, grief and guilt. I had hit the bottom, I was unable to function as a person much less a wife, mother or caregiver... I needed help, and first thing that came to my mind to do was EFT, it was that day I started tapping on a daily basis, but not matter what I did I could not get my anxiety level below a 3, again I needed help.

Finally, I got brave and contacted Gill, for a phone session, with her help I was able to accomplish more in 1 hour than I have been able to in 21 years of on and off therapy for childhood issues surrounding a Mother who has never protected me. 

EFT is an amazing tool when applied by yourself, but every now and again we all need a little help, that huge ball of anger, guilt, grief, that had been sitting in my stomach is now gone, I can breath deeply again and I am sleeping better than I have done in years.

It was not until I got to the point of complete desperation that I was able to set aside those fears long enough to type an email asking for help, if I had had to call and voice that need I never would have done it... choices are wonderful!

I feel so grateful for that hour, if I had known years ago what I would feel like after only one hour I would have done it then.

My wish would be that someday through EFT no-one will have to live through that kind of personal hell... it's possible, everyone has at least an ounce of courage, and I am living proof that is all it takes.

"Just wanted to write a short note to say thank you for all the help and kindness you have shown.  Although it is your job I feel you do it so kindly - always maintaining my dignity and trust."

Vicky, Scotland


"I have used EFT for about two years, and I have studied up to level two.  Even though I tap on a regular basis I felt that there were still many issues that I just did not feel that I was able to get to, and these issues were still colouring my life in a big way.  A friend recommended Gillian to me, and so I decided that it was time to try and sort some of these issues out.   I have been absolutely bowled over by the way Gillian works, and the results that we have achieved in a very short space of time.  Gillian works from a very intuitive level, and I have been amazed at how the most simple approach can make a mountain of difference.  I have learnt so much about myself and EFT working with Gillian, and I would strongly recommend anyone procrastinating(this was one of my issues!) over working on their issues to consider Gillian, it really could make a tremendous difference to your life."

Julia, London

"If you are looking for someone who won't judge you, who will make you feel comfortable, and someone who knows in and out the issues that surround abuse and trauma, then you really cannot get any better than Gillian. Even during my tears, she remained level headed and grounded, which helped me in processing out very painful emotions. She is sensitive, encouraging me to be silent when I needed to be, and most of all giving. If you are considering Gillian for help with EFT, I strongly believe you will not find a better practitioner. I also know that only someone who has been through immense suffering themselves is able to provide untainted and unconditional support to others who are suffering. Gillian is one of these blessed people. Having struggled herself, she is able to truly feel empathy and compassion for others, and being able to do this is indicative of a true healer. Thank you Gillian!''

Niki, Sweden


"Thanks so much for the session today, it really was a tremendous help.  We spent more time at the playground today, and, we went out earlier - there were actually mothers for me to talk to AND a whole bunch of English speaking mothers that I met, too!  (we just moved to this area, and I hadn't met anyone yet, until today)  I really liked how you sneaked up on the problem in the beginning of the session, when I was so intense, and the positive installations at the end were just so beautiful, loving, caring, and just what my two year old self needed to hear.  Thank you!  I must tell you that this is the very first time that I have actually remembered and healed a specific incident involving my father, and that has been very powerful and deeply healing for me.  And I have worked with five other therapists!  I have been worrying about my daughter much less, if at all, and she is showing a new spring in her step!  I loved tapping on the "no" - that was a real insight and I'm so glad you picked up on it .  I felt your work with me was deeply meaningful and uplifting, and I thank you so much and I can't wait to work with you again!

Follow up:

Sorry I didn't write a follow-up (I love getting follow-ups, so I always try to write them for my therapists!), I've been very busy with my kids, in a good way!  My daughter seems happier than I've seen her in a long time, and I am feeling so much more patient and understanding and, amazingly, loving, in a very soft way that I haven't shown her in a while...  Thanks so much for everything"

Rachael, Israel

"I went to the IVF clinic on Wednesday because they were concerned that I still hadn't had a period after the treatment finished, eight week ago. So they did a blood test and while we were waiting for the results, they decided to give me a scan. And there, on the ultrasound, appeared a baby. It was one of the strangest moments of my life. It turns out that I am eleven week pregnant, despite being given a negative pregnancy test at the end of my treatment, and despite having bled for two weeks afterwards. It was such a shock I can't tell you. But a good shock, of course! The medical staff were a bit freaked out as well and couldn't really tell me how this could have happened. It's really amazing, not only to be pregnant, but past the most worrying time for miscarriages. I've spent the last few days almost speechless with surprise. But I wanted to share the good news with you. I can hardly believe it but I have an ultrasound picture that my husband waves in front of my face when I say, 'I can't believe it'.

So thank you for all your wonderful help. I'm certain it had a great deal to do with it."

"Hiya, just thought I would drop you a wee card to say we are having a great holiday.  The flight was good Gill, I almost enjoyed it!!!! Thanks.  (A previous extreme flying phobia)

Elinor, Fife


"Thanks for making the session as painless as possible.  Now I am starting to wonder why I was getting in such a state about it.  I now feel much more philiosophical about the whole business even though it will never be my favourite subject to talk about.  This is amazing because there were 'tons' of aspects and we didn't have to cover that many of them.  Gillian, never doubt how badly your service is needed..... I have worked with quite a number of practitioners and let me assure you, you are up there in the 1%.  Thats 1% in the world!"

Maria, London


"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 h
