Having lived for at least 15 years with anxiety, panic attacks and fear of going out socialising I really didn’t think I would ever get my old life back. I use to love going out and socialising, I wanted to be the old me. I had so many things I still wanted to do but couldn’t. Sue helped me to be realistic and optimistic as to what I could achieve with the right tools. We set simple goals that were achievable and if I couldn’t do it that didn’t matter. She asked me to look in the mirror and say I love myself. I couldn’t even look at myself without thinking how ugly and useless I was. I’ve never loved myself or who I am and certainly could not say I love you to myself. Tapping has been amazing for me and I use this whenever I start to feel anxious or in a situation I feel uneasy about. It really does help to refocus my thoughts & feelings. Moving thoughts on is also a great tool, it stops me focusing on usually a negative thought and dwelling on it which then causes me anxiety. Learning that I need to look after myself and be kind and nurturing to myself is also very important. I make sure I take time out of my day for me. The relaxation and breathing Sue has taught me helps to ground me and my thoughts and to unwind. Relaxation, walking, pampering are all things I now make time to do. I realise that living with heightened anxiety is bad for your physical and mental well-being. Its a big step to accept help and I didn’t truly believe that it would help me. But, I decided to put my all into it and give it a try. If I didn’t feel comfortable with something I knew I could say or stop at any time. Knowing this made it easier for me as I didn’t feel any pressure to do or say anything I didn’t want to. I have now achieved things I did not believe were possible: - Going to the cinema, socialising, partying, riding on a beach, my sons wedding, having a relationship, holidays. I now want to go out. I need a new diary to put in all the events I have planned for the future. This will be my first New Year’s Eve party in 18 years. I was first up dancing at my sons wedding. Thank you so much Sue for giving me back me!!! I can now stand in front of the mirror and tell myself I love you and you are important and worthy. I’m buzzing on life now and cant wait to start my new life again. K.M. 23.10.21

I have gained so much more confidence and been able to stand up for myself – for the first time in a long time. You have helped me to see beyond my fears and begin the journey back to becoming me. * I would highly recommend Sue to anyone looking for an intuitive, sincere, sensitive and deeply passionate coach. I wouldn't be this far along in my goals or have this much courage to push forward without Sue's support. Emily. 30.8.21
