Joanne Abbishaw from Garforth came to see Julie suffering from, in her own words “a deep phobia of blood, gore and medical procedures” until Julie offered her a “lifeline.” She couldn’t watch TV programmes set in hospitals or even eat in a restaurant with someone eating a steak.

This is her story.

"I had a deep rooted phobia of blood, hospitals and medical procedures. It had reached the stage that I would rather suffer pain than visit a doctor and run the risk of having blood taken. I then received a referral from a friend to contact Julie Woodcock. That call to Julie was the start of a new and happier life I now embrace. It took only 3 sessions to remove the “hell” I had lived with for so long. I can now face my fear with a sense of calmness, in fact I don’t think about it anymore and I live every day enjoyed life, family and friends. Thank you Julie, for rescuing me!"

A note from Julie.

Joanne stated that she was 80% better after her first session but we both felt a second session was needed. This is quite unusual for phobias but Joanne’s phobia was very extreme. Her third session was a simple follow up to make absolutely sure that she was completely free of her issues. Again, this is usually unnecessary but I am always happy to see a client until they are absolutely convinced that they are free!
