A client from Leeds in her late 20s (who wishes to remain anonymous) came to see Julie in September 2005 to, in her words "overcome anxiety, to gain confidence, to worry less and to have a more open and less rigid outlook on life".

She had already tried anti-depressants, acupuncture and Reiki and had seen another hypnotherapist.

Julie first sent her the CD she uses for all her clients – a Stress Relief self-hypnosis session.

At the first appointment Julie used hypnosis and NLP techniques to help rid her of guilt issues and taught her EFT – emotional freedom technique (identified by her below as "tapping").

She continued to use EFT for herself and returned for a confidence boosting hypnotherapy session two weeks later.

In January 2006 this is what she wrote:

"I would like to thank Julie for her help in helping free me from a world of anxiety and worry. I am now a happier and more confident person as a result of my time with Julie. I can whole-heartedly recommend the ‘tapping’ technique and regular use of the CD Julie gave me."
