Testimonials

Confidence and Seeking direction:
Thank you so much for your help recently. Although I've only seen you twice, I can honestly say that I have felt much better. After the first session I felt that you were the right person to help me on my journey right now and I felt inspired, supported and more enthusiastic about moving forward in my life. After the second session, I felt so relaxed, hopeful and much more confident and positive. The deep relaxation and meditation we did together was amazing. I felt free-er than I have in a long long time and again, hopeful, positive and with a new belief that perhaps I CAN make things happen in my life and that I CAN be fixed, a new concept for me. Thank you for your care and consideration, your support and warmth and how you instinctively worked with me, to help me help myself. Lou, Surrey

Relationship breakdown and confidence :
I would like to thank you for all of your help and support over the past few months. I can honestly say that, with your help, I am now a much more confident, happy and 'whole' person. Not only has your counselling assisted with my private life, but it has also benefitted my business! I shall certainly refer you to my friends or colleagues should they need your help..... I only wish I had done this 20 Years ago! DG, Hampshire.

IBS and related anxiety:
"I am so pleased I came to see you. I have really valued your guidance and caring nature and appreciate all the help you have given me. Understanding my problems and where they stemmed from has enabled me to move onwards with a more confident attitude. I feel calmer, more in control and happier in general. Thank you Gayle! Best regards" From MK, Warsash.

Blushing:
"Thank you very much for everything you have done for me. Being able to control my blushing has really changed my life!" From HC, Southampton.

Self-esteem and confidence - public speaking / social anxiety:
PA said, after 2 sessions: "Our sessions together have made a real difference. I was able to go to a large 'do' and I actually looked forward to it! What's more, I enjoyed the whole experience. I speak up for myself and value myself a lot more now. I now just want to move forwardI have found a new perspective on life. Thank you!"

and later PA wrote:"I had come to the end of the road but not the journey. There was no way forward and I could not stay put nor turn back. You helped me to close the map of the past and open a new blank page that I could fill without being hindered by the past. The future is mine and will be as I wish. Thank you for your guidance and wisdom when I needed it." From PA, Stubbington, Fareham.

Self-esteem and Confidence after years of childhood sexual abuse:
"A friend of mine recommended that I go and see Gayle. It took a long time to decide to pick up the telephone because I was really afraid of hypnotherapy. I had only seen stage hypnosis, and I thought it would be like that! I didn't realise that I would be aware all the time of what was going on, that I would be in control and that it would be such a calming and lovely experience. Gayle made me feel so comfortable and welcome. I kept saying afterwards that I wish I had gone to see her long ago!

So if you feel like I did, don't hesitate! I feel so good about myself now, and Gayle helped me to see things so much more clearly. Somehow it was really easy to forgive people who had hurt me badly in the past, and I never thought that would be possible! I am excited about moving on with the rest of my life now, without all that baggage! I think the most important part, for me, was finding that it was okay to forgive myself and that I wasn't to blame for all the abuse. I have had counselling before, and it did help a little, but nothing like this! I just feel so free! Thank you so much, Gayle, I can't tell you how much I appreciate your help, but I think you probably know! With love" From A, Locks Heath, Southampton, Hampshire

Panic attacks / IBS:
"I found the therapy I received from Gayle very helpful and was so pleased with how she was able to help me. It was more beneficial than I would have thought possible! I am very pleased to be able to recommend this type of therapy and would not hesitate to use hypnotherapy again. Carol. " (Carol was treated for panic attacks using hypnotherapy, counselling and EFT as well as some nutritional guidance. ) Havant, Hampshire.

Fear of Heights:
"I was amazed that after such a short session I couldn't wait to go and find a balcony to stand on! I wish had known that hypnotherapy was such a relaxing and simple process years ago!" From G.K., Portsmouth

Feeling Stuck and unmotivated:
Gayle, thank you for our session which was very powerful. My head feels so clear now and I have been in touch with my tutor andmade a time-table for my studies. I feel determined to get it done and know that I will. I felt a very strong energy at work and I know I went to see the right person. It is good that you work with energies as well. I will keep in touch and let you know when I get my degree! RM, Kingston

Stress and anxiety - physiological causes:
"I came to see Gayle as I had bad stress and anxiety. It was making my life unbearable and with a baby on the way I wanted to sort it out, as I had lived with it for a couple of years. The course of Hypnotherapy helped greatly towards reducing the symptoms I was having. Gayle introduced other techniques such as EFT, which also helped. However, I think the thing that helped me most was the nutritional side of Gayles' repertoir. She suggested an elimination diet to see what foods, if any, I was intolerant to. After going through this process I was amazed to find that I was intolerant to a number of foods. I have cut these out of my diet and now feel 100 times better. I believe without Gayle's knowledge of nutrition and food intolerance my symptoms would have re-occurred. I am now looking forward to a happy and bright future with my family. Thank you Gayle." From DF, Fareham, Hampshire

Anxiety - stress related :
"I find it difficult to quantify my progress in percentage terms, although if I had to, I would estimate a 95 - 100% improvement in my symptoms. I found the therapy to be incredibly relaxing and the techniques for allowing myself to retreat into a haven gave me a sense of well being from which I gained confidence in dealing with the problems in my personal life. The key for me was being encouraged and helped to practice the techniques myself at home, which I still find calming and liberating from the stresses that in some cases are still around me. Basically you enabled me to realise that I could and can solve my problems myself!" From PS, Eastleigh, Hampshire

Anger and assertiveness:
"Right from my first session I felt much better and more optimistic that I would be able to get the issues and feelings out of my head, which up until this point had seemed impossible. I was having an awful time (personal details deleted for privacy...)
I had lost all faith in human nature and I found it extremely difficult to trust anyone. The horrible feelings of anger and hatred weren’t getting any better and in fact seemed to be getting worse as time went on.

It was then that I decided enough was enough and I came along to Timica Therapy. I felt stupid, because other people experience far worse things than I had done and it felt like I was being stupid. The first thing that Gayle told me is that it’s all relative. Just because someone across the road has broken their leg, doesn’t make the scratch on my arm any less painful to me. This helped me to relax and concentrate on “healing my scratch”.

Gayle helped me to understand that I had to get the “sensible” part of me and the “emotional” part of me aligned. I was fully aware before I came along that I wasn’t helping myself, but I had to get my heart to believe it. Just talking it through and having a taster of the hypnosis helped a lot.

I’m not entirely sure what part of the therapy was most useful overall, whether it was the hypnosis, the “tapping” (EFT), or just chatting about it to someone not directly involved, but all I know is that I feel much better.

During the sessions, we discovered that the confidence problelms really started when I was bullied at school. The hypnosis I believe helped with my confidence issues and whilst I’m still no 'Miss Confidence', I am now more able to stop blaming myself when something goes wrong and I’m less bothered if I believe someone doesn’t like me. Who cares? I know I’m a nice person and I also know that I would never hurt other people like they have hurt me.

I believe that the EFT tapping helped with the more specific things. It also really helped the pain in my shoulder, which hasn’t come back since (at least no where near as bad). I’m just pleased that I am feeling better now and my boyfriend and I are much happier together as a result. I truly believe that this is because of the sessions that I had with Gayle and I’m hugely thankful to her for all that she has done.Thanks again" - NT, Portsmouth, Hampshire

Weight and confidence
"The nutritional advice was very useful and the blood sugar problem is now under control as long as I stick to the diet." From Helen, Fareham, Hampshire

"I feel happier with my food choices, content within myself, and it is like it is just the natural thing to do. I don't feel as though I am 'missing out' on anything and food is becoming less of an obsession. It is like I have found some self-respct again. It is okay to like / love myself and do this for me." EC, Portsmouth

"I feel so amazing. Thanks, Gayle. I like myself so much better. I don't care if I only lose one pound a month! I know it is going as I make better choices and just feel so great about myself! You showed me what I really believed and how I could change that!"

Inner Healing:
"I have been amazed at how natural and beautiful an experience Hypnotherapy with you has been. Since my first session I have not been able to keep up with all the creativity that has been triggered off inside me! I now feel I know who I am. You took me so gently and kindly into a totally peaceful and relaxed state.

I never felt 'taken over', just enabled to be in touch with my own true feelings and to let my own subconscious show me the answers. I always felt totally safe and in control. Any reservations I had were completely blown away. I have discovered wonderful memories which I had completely forgotten and they have made such a difference. Thank you so much!" From RB, Fareham, Hampshire

Insomnia:
"Thank you so much for helping me with my insomnia. I used to take up to four hours to go to sleep; now I drift off within minutes! I feel so relaxed during the day too." From CJ, Lee-On-the-Solent, Gosport.

Anger and inner healing:
"I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the profound difference you have made to my life. As you know, when I started therapy with you, I was weighed down by the baggage of my past. I was an intolerant, angry and resentful person, unable to forgive, and constantly dwelling on the negative.
You changed all that. Your calm patience and impartial understanding of my need to stay angry helped me to work through the pain. You taught me the advantage of forgiveness. You didn't judge me! Thank you for that. The relief I feel is beyond words, all I can say is that I know you will go on to do great things." From JB, Hertfordshire

Job interview:
...the day went well for me and I did a good job of the interview, thanks to you! From B.D., Fareham, Hampshire

Fear of Flying:
The session was very helpful to me and I managed the flight very well, even though it was a bumpy one!!" From DK, Fareham, Hampshire

A search for meaning:
"Gayle is one of those rare people who have been put in this space-time to 'teach'. There is only one condition for this : you need to be prepared to wake up! It is a small price to pay and well worth it.

You can take a walk in the woods and miss the beauty of the fallen leaves, or walk by the beach and not realize of the marvel of a sunset. There are plenty of occasions where the miracle of creation can be witnessed but you need to be awake !!!!

If you get into that state of mind, and are lucky enough to be guided by Gayle, she will take you to places that are there for you to be felt and appreciated.

I have had several contacts with her and I can only say that I would not be here if it hadn't been for her. She is the catalyst of dreams but she will only show you the way, you are your own teacher and the potential is within yourself. Let her show you the way !!!!!" From JD,Waterlooville, Hampshire

Life-Between-Lives Session:
" I would like to thankyou for the session you have given me with In between life Therapy. I found that going through this process with you to be very effective on my journey of feeling more whole.
I feel more centred, more secure & comfortable in knowing who I am now where I fet lost about who I was & although I knew I am strong as a personality, I feel a strength I did not feel before.
I never realised something which I found to be just of an interest to me, could be so profound for me. So thankyou for the opportunity of such an experience. Love and Light..." From Arthur F, Egham, Surrey.

Anger and irritability :
I have been bad tempered and rude to my friends and family for so many years that I had no idea when it started. After one session with Gayle I could not believe the difference. I know I still have a long way to go but I woke today feeling like the old Patricia I knew many years ago. Gayle delved deep into my past and things that I was not aware of had made me a bitter and disparately unhappy person. Its great to smile and be happy again. To joke with my colleague and not bite her head off. I can honestly recommend her. You too can change your life to a happier one as I did
Trish Edsell, Hampshire, 10.10.2006

Confidence, anger and guilt :
Your sessions helped me to be more confident in everyday life. I've also realised that I am a good person and I like myself a lot more and I'm not stressed out any more. I now have the confidence to do anything, I feel I can talk to my parents a lot more and to people I don't know, that makes me feel good about myself.

BB, Fareham, Hampshire

OCD and Anxiety:
Thank you so much for helping me with my OCD. Once I took out the foods that we found were causing a problem, I feel so different and my anxiety levels have gone down a huge amount. I am sure that the behaviour therapy and hypnotherapy have helped a lot too, not just the food side. There is still a little way to go, but I think I am 90% better already, in less than two months. I look forward to going all the way! Thanks, Gayle! PK, New Malden, Surrey.

Habits and Addictions:

smoking and alcohol habit:
"I felt so calm and relaxed. I can't really explain the feeling - I felt like I was floating, and perfectly safe. I haven't had a cigarette in a month and I now don't feel I have to drink a whole bottle of wine in the evenings! Also, I was so uptight and angry about something but after Gayle did some EFT the problem didn't bother me at all!" J.R., Fareham

Alcohol dependence:
"...... thanks for all your help. I am hardly drinking at all, just as and when in a social situation*. I am now in control of myself, and all is well." From AM, Portchester

Smoking addiction:
".. after the EFT bit, the cravings went away immediately. I was well impressed and that was when I started to believe that I could really be a non-smoker, as you suggested. Then you did the hypnotherapy and I was blown away! I haven't wanted a cigarette since, and that was six months ago! Thanks! The best money I have ever spent!" from LC, Hedge End.

Alcohol:
"Everybody has a guardian angel, and you're it!" VA, Gosport, Hampshire.

Quitting smoking:
"I am extremely pleased with the results - I am not smoking three months later and only required the second session for added confidence. I stopped smoking after the first session. I cannot thank you enough!" From Vicki H.

"I have found the sessions I have had have been very, very, beneficial to me. I have achieved everything I wanted to and this testimonial is to a great lady who makes you feel most welcome and comfortable. I would highly recommend her services." JP, Southampton, Hampshire

Given up Smoking:
I am writing to let you know that I gave up smoking completely on the 15th June. Something clicked in my mind on that day, it was a Thursday and I have not had a cigarette since... so I want to take this opportunity to thank you and I am so glad, I plucked up the courage to see you. I wanted to give up smoking before the age of 60, I gave up at the age of 61 and I am so pleased. Thank you once again. Annie D, Fareham, Hampshire.

Stopped Smoking:
Just thought I'd email and say hi and thank you because I haven't touched a cigarette since I saw you nearly a month ago . yay :) Felt a bit anxious/dizzy a few times but that's a normal thing, but no cravings really. I am still amazed that its 24 days now ..almost a month . Oh also I must add that I've lost 3 pounds in weight !!!! I just don't feel the need to replace the fag with food ..and don't eat in the evenings anymore :) Lots of stressful things happening here ...(detail removed for privacy)...but I'm coping ok and not reaching for the ciggies ...whereas before any stress and I'd go straight for a fag. Anyways i just wanted to let you know that it worked really well and I'm a non-smoker! ..and my dad is listening to the cd daily and has cut down to 10 a day (instead of his usual 30) he doesn't feel ready to quit for good yet as he has a lot to cope with, but said that once he's ready he'd love to come and see you and give up the 10 a day !!! Thank you again, J. Hampshire
