Caroline Flack - presenter of "I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here"
Extract from an interview for 'Look' magazine, the question is regarding Caroline's phobia of spiders....

Q: I hear you're a bit of an arachnophobiac?

A: A bit! I can't even look at them on the telly - I start screaming! The mosquitoes are pretty keen and the flying cockroach things don't leave me happy, but I had hypnotherapy in London before I came out. It's amazing - I'd never had it before and always thought I'd be one of those people who'd not be able to go under because I'd be giggling all the way through it, but it worked. I went completely under. I went to this amazing girl called Zoe Clews and it's like the equivalent of having nine hours sleep in a one-hour session. You go back to your childhood and I had to give my five-year-old self a hug. It was the best form of therapy. But I haven't seen a spider up close yet so I don't know if it's worked or not. I don't remember what she said, so I don't understand how it makes you feel better, but it does. I'd recommend it for anything. Loads of people I know have done it for smoking.

Annabelle, Essex

Since our two hypnotherapy sessions I feel much less uncomfortable in intimate group situations. You may remember, I used to feel kind of paranoid after a while in each new group, fearing people might want to harm me and want to all gang up against me. I no longer feel this way. This happened gradually over the months. It feels very freeing. It must have happened as a direct consequence of the hypnotherapy. So thank you very much for the sessions. They have been very helpful.

Malcolm, London

"I went to see Zoe because I had severe performance anxiety, which was greatly affecting my career as a musician. I was immediately struck by Zoe's warmth, honesty, commitment and her friendly but professional approach. I found I made progress straight away. It quickly became clear that my professional anxieties were linked to long-term emotional problems that had affected my adult life. These I had tried to resolve with other, longer-term therapies but with little success.

With Zoe's warmth, encouragement and great skill, I have been able to deal with some very important issues that, to be honest, I had thought I might never get over. I really feel as if I have moved into a new phase of life, one where I am much happier, more confident and in a position to realise my full potential. I'm enjoying life more! I couldn't recommend Zoe more highly."

Stuart, London

I had been experiencing heart palpitations for a few months before visiting my GP. This was initially attributed to my high cholesterol levels, which I tried addressing largely through diet and exercise, but the symptoms persisted. After a friend identified the problem as anxiety-related, I returned to my GP who prescribed me beta-blockers, which helped in reducing the effects.

My desire to tackle the internal roots of my anxiety led me to Zoe. After only one session I felt able to deal with the triggers in my environment in a much better way, feeling strong, confident and capable where before I had felt alone and unsupported, with a deep sense of futility. A few days after my first session I stopped taking my medication as the strength and frequency of the palpitations dramatically reduced, and this continues to be the case. My heartfelt thanks to Zoe and the amazing work she does.

Zoe, London

For the last few years I have had what is known as 'residue anxiety', this is the after-effect of a long period of panic attacks I suffered during the time between my parents splitting up and finishing university. I would have a panic attack every day for a period of two years, which really made life a struggle. When they finally disappeared as my life got back on track, a day never went by when I didn't fear having another one, or think about that horrible period in my life.

I chose to see Zoe through recommendation and I really haven't looked back since. Zoe has not only helped me to deal with my past and realise that it really was OK and normal to have the feelings I experienced, but has also given me hope for the future, which always seemed so scary before. I now feel like a new, stronger person with the ability to look forward and make decisions in my life without feeling frightened or anxious. It is an amazing feeling and prior to my sessions thought I would never feel like this again! I would recommend Zoe to anyone. She is a true professional and a supportive caring individual.

"During the last few years, I faced a serious health challenge and combined conventional treatment with alternative therapy, including regular EFT sessions and workshops with Carey Mann. Carey's therapy has played a significant role in my well being, enabling me to remain pain free and positive throughout. Her workshops, particularly the Matrix teachings, has provided me with the mechanisms to release negative emotions that can obstruct healing and positivity. I would wholeheartedly recommend Carey to all those who want to improve their health, relationships and general well being."

T Butt - Dancer, London

I am a professional dancer and acrobat. I suffered from a tear in my adductor in Sept 08 and after trying to push my rehabilitation too hard suffered from several relapses. even after 3 months I could not work out the residual tightness and hardness through conventional methods. After doing a tapping session there was immediate relief of tension and although 20 minutes of tapping didn't completely cure my problem completely it gave me a good system to use when pain arose. it has played a big part in my rehab combined with more traditional methods of recovery, I would definitely recommend it.

Abi Oyepian - Olympic 100 & 200 metre sprinter

I had an Achilles injury and was finding it difficult to move forward - I literally couldn't run at all even after the operation. My coach told me about Carey and I thought that I would give it a try as I had nothing to lose. During the first session all the pain in my Achilles seemed to just release and since Carey as shown me how to use tapping technique for pain relief, I have seen a real benefit with the level of pain I've felt in my Achilles during training. I think the negative feeling that I was associating with my Achilles definitely made the pain worse. I realised that the injury was definitely linked to emotional issues, now i have dealt with the issues I am pain free.

Sue - Multiple Sclerosis sufferer, Birmingham

I didn't know what to expect from EFT and working with Carey but I was pleasantly surprised. I have MS and after a nasty fall three years ago my condition started to deteoriate even more. I knew I had to act NOW and go through the process of healing myself. Carey was fantastic, she uncovered depths I never thought it was possible to go to, then amazing things started to happen. Over a period of time I was finding myself dragging my legs to the toilet, now I can take one step in and stand with my left leg supporting me. Not only that but I can every now and then walk the three steps it needs to go into the toilet and recently walked to the bath to have a shower from my chair. My legs are starting to twitch quite a lot and wanting me more and more to move forward. I have always known I could cure myself and to this I held the golden key, Carey has provided me with the lock. THANKYOU!

Michelle, Talent Manager, London

I found the one to one work I did with Carey to be deeply important and has helped me make dramatic lasting changes in my day to day life. It was not just to my thinking about personal relationships but all the relationships I have, including the one with myself. She has a natural ability to make you feel completely at ease and creates a space where you feel safe to explore and challenge beliefs of habits that have been holding you back. Carey brings a huge wealth of information and knowledge but she has the ability to show you how to use the skills in a simple and easy to follow way so that I now can use it in my daily life if I ever feel I am in a stressful situation or need some help. I just think of Carey and smile!

Greta, Germany

I am 32 years old and I never really had a serious, long term, intimate relationship. Not that I had problems meeting men, but it never felt right. They all just weren't "good" enough and I was sure , that the right one, the one and only will pass my way at some point and I will know instantly. So I went from one short dating experience to the next one. My friends always were impressed, how I met all these great guys and that my life is always so exciting etc... but all this restlessness and commitment phobia didn't really fulfil me. And whenever it seemed to get serious I lost interest again and was on the hunt for something/someone else. It was always the same pattern over and over again. It seemed like something suddenly switched, like an inner voice that told me why that guy again wasn't the right one for me... I could see it and kind of explain why that happened, but I couldn't change it alone. A lot of men in my life when I was growing up, that were important to me either disappeared or died without any explanation. So there was a lot of past stuff, that had to be cleared, a lot of healing and replacing old patterns of thoughts to new ones.

Zoe is amazing and so talented. I felt straight away that she understood me and that I could trust her. The clearing and healing was quite challenging, but I am so happy, that I finally worked on it and got it all out. Something really changed. I feel like a butterfly now, in its whole magnificence unfolded, I feel like everything beautiful and all that love inside me is finally showing and coming out. I can't thank Zoe enough for working with me, helping me to trust again in men and in me and to understand, believe and appreciate finally that it is safe to love and to be loved.

Tina, London

I first went to see Zoe in order to help me move away from a long and destructive relationship. Zoe really got to the heart of the problem and helped me deal with the cause as opposed to the symptom only. After only a few sessions I felt more confident and positive about life in general and have finally given up my bad habit!!!

Rebecca, London

Carey Mann is a great guide when it comes to self development. When I heard about the Love in the City workshop I got excited since I had had some trouble with my relationships in the past, and now found myself single and not really knowing what went wrong.

So on the day I went there, and together with a group of women with similar experiences we sat down and spent the day looking at our life patterns. It was quite amazing. In the beginning it felt pretty hard and confusing but before you knew it a lot of pieces fell into place and I could see my past in another light. It took some time to let it all sink in, but pretty soon I could feel myself change. Without really making a conscious effort I started acting in ways I had never dared or even thought possible before.

I had a man that I had feelings for. And one day I just decided I had to tell him. The best part with it was that for me it did not matter what he answered. It was all just because I felt that I could do it that I sat down and talked to him eye to eye. It might not seem like much to some people but to me it was a great deal. I truly believe that that strength and newfound confidence came from having this great day with these great women under the guidance of Carey.

After all this I now find myself in a relationship very different from any of the once from the past. I have a man who respects me because I respect myself and him. I feel confident and know that by being me is why he likes my company. No sight of destructive behaviour or mal communication. And I must say it feels great.

I warmly recommend this workshop to any single woman. Whether you think you might have ghosts in the closet or not. In any way it will bring you something great that you will carry with you for the rest of your life. Thank you Carey.

Michelle - Talent Manager, London

At first I was a little bit hesitant about coming on this workshop as I wasn't really sure what to expect. But I had an absolute ball! Being in a group with other people going through the same experiences, the same feelings and thinking the same things was such a huge relief and bonding experience - I wasn't alone! I don't think I've laughed so much in one day. And to top it off I learned so much about how our minds work, and how we can change habits and break patterns that aren't helping us. I've been using the skills I learnt on a daily basis and they have really helped me turn my life around. I still cant believe that I managed to achieve so much on a day where I had so much fun - thank you!

T M Essex

"Zoe is a very professional and intuitive practitioner, who uses a variety of skills for the best interest of her clients. She has helped me on many occasions with her warmth, experience and care to address my personal issues and I have every confidence in her ability. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is on a journey of self healing, whether it's for your emotional or physical health."

Sally, London

A friend recommended that I see Zoe. I had recently had quite a lot of troubles which piled together and were bringing me down, like the bad boyfriend that reduced me to a wreck and the sudden death of my wonderful mum, which was a terrible shock. I just felt like life was one bad turn after another. I really had had enough.

The catalyst, which finally made me contact Zoe, was my relationship. I always seemed to put up with being treated badly and one horrible incident with my partner was the final straw. I always had this overwhelming desire to please, be liked and be loved - by anyone, not just my boyfriends. I didn't tend to worry about the people that did like or love me, only the ones that didn't.

When I first met Zoe I just sat down in front of her and cried. She asked all the right questions. When she asked me how long had I felt like this, it dawned on me, always. Zoe completely understood everything I said and felt, she helped me understand firstly why I felt this way and why I responded the way I did in certain situations, then how to deal with them so I could change how I reacted and in turn how I felt about myself.

My confidence has improved dramatically and I have a strong desire to stand up for myself. When I have a bad day I don't feel depressed about it, I just think I got out of the wrong side of the bed."

Tamara, Stockwell

During a difficult period in my life I felt as though all the negative experiences I had ever suffered were affecting me all at once. I decided that it was better to try and find a way to cope with these subsequent feelings and thought Hypnotherapy might be a way to achieve this.

The sessions with Zoe have left me feeling much more positive and optimistic about myself. I feel more in control of my life and more understanding of who I am as a person.

As a result my relationships with other people are stronger, I am more successful with my work, and most importantly I like myself more. I cannot recommend Zoe highly enough to anyone considering Hypnotherapy, she is committed and focused to helping people move forward with their lives.

Grace, East London

I commenced hypnotherapy/NLP sessions to try and ascertain why I had so little self-worth and could not understand how anyone would love and respect someone with such a low self-opinion.

After each session with Zoe, I found an increasing sense of direction, hope and inspiration to move my life in new ways. I didn't set out on any journey to 'find myself', but thanks to Zoe, that's what appears to be happening! I feel I have started to rediscover an identity that has been submerged for many years and I'm feeling increasingly positive about myself as a person as a result.

I have found great benefit in revisiting past issues and experiences with Zoe's help, finding clarity and meaning in my past actions which are helping to form a better future for me. On a social basis, I am learning to be less critical of myself and my actions, and find myself looking forward to events in my life with less fear and more courage.

Tam, Bethnal Green

For many years I've sought the courage and direction to stop hiding from life and to be completely honest with myself. I've tried many different types of therapy (including twice-weekly - expensive! - psychotherapy) and I'm now absolutely convinced that hypnotherapy is the only way to go.

There is no doubt that Zoe cares deeply about my well-being and progress. It's obvious that she spends time preparing for my sessions and puts much thought and consideration into the best way forward for my individual development. She is professional, but without compromising warmth, care and support. I trust Zoe implicitly and feel that I am being 'held' every step of the way. She is extremely devoted to her work and to her clients' development.

Zoe's work with me has been more successful than I ever imagined. I have opened up in such a way that I feel a great sense of liberty, new-found confidence and a certainty that everything will be all right. My outlook on life is so much brighter now and my growth continues. What would my life be like now if I hadn't made that first appointment? I can't imagine.

Kate, Putney

NLP was advised to me by a homeopath who felt it would help me overcome my issues of low self-esteem and confidence. Zoe was recommended by a friend and was totally understanding, reassuring and positive about being able to help me. My second session seemed to work brilliantly - partly because I was prepared and more relaxed about following my session the week before, and secondly because I really began to respond to the visual imagery my mind was creating prompted by Zoe's triggers. Since my third and final session I've noticed a real change: I'm happier, calmer and full of positivity about my abilities and my approach to life in general. I can recommend Zoe with 100% confidence in her ability.

Pamela, East London

I was recommended by a friend at a very low emotional time following a bereavement. This dug up past experiences that I had never dealt with. I've had one on one counselling sessions in the past, but I always felt as if I was telling a story about my experiences which i could repeat endlessly. With Zoe, hypnotherapy helped me emotionally deal with them and move on. All of my life I have suffered with low self esteem and low confidence never allowing my self to feel proud of anything I have achieved, but now I feel lighter and brighter, confident and positive. I have just passed my theory driving test thanks to a session I had with Zoe. I feel proud of myself and I am looking forward to achieving all the other things in life that I used to tell myself I couldn't do.

Maria, Wood Green

I went to Zoe at a point in my life where I was at my lowest emotionally. I tried psychotherapy, counselling and other hypnotherapy but with no satisfactory long-term results. I have battled all my life against very low self-esteem which has stopped me from having friends, relationships and doing normal everyday things which most people would take for granted. Before I went to see Zoe I was actually feeling most of the that my life was not worth living.

After the first session I knew she was going to make a real and positive difference to my life, and she has. The sessions with Zoe are amazing and through her use of hypnotherapy and healing I have been able to turn my life around totally.

Mandy J, Islington

Unsure of what NLP and hypnosis would actually entail, I decided to contact Zoe to find out. Through a succession of meetings I felt a constant improvement developing with my psychological well-being; my ability to put to rest, understand and resolve the personal issues and anxieties which had created an overload of burden upon my daily thoughts and emotions. Ties with some damaging past experiences and their ill effects were taken away. Consequently, I can now move forward with clearer comprehension, confidence and enthusiasm for life ahead. The mind fog and pain is clearing.

Lucy, London

Just wanted to drop you a note as promised and let you know how much I appreciated our session a few weeks ago. It really helped to 'reset' my thinking and relax me about everything. I really took on board what you were saying about how we never slip back to where we started, but that we continue to learn and develop - the changes after the last session haven't felt nearly as radical as the first time I came to you, which really just reinforced how much of what you've said in our previous sessions has already sunk in and become my mindset. The CD is also great; its so relaxing!

Catherine, London

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the sessions and how pleased that I was with myself at having the sense to deal with some things that were causing me concern. Zoe made the experience feel very worthwhile. She listens intently and tailors sessions to individual needs, which is probably what most of us are craving in such a fast moving world where many of our needs go unattended, for whatever reason. Zoe strikes a really good balance and makes you feel like you are in the hands of somebody who really knows what they are doing.

Katharine, London

I am doing really well since our session. I have had a few slip ups but nothing as bad as before. I am not constantly thinking about calories and what I need to do to burn things off. I have also started to close down conversations with those who make me feel more self conscious about what I should eat and what they are eating. It feels quite liberating, I have started to enjoy food again which is really nice.

Jules - London

The good news is that I have found my thoughts now are more about eating healthily and the urges I used to have to overeat and binge have diminished. I have still had some slip ups but as we discussed, it takes a while to change habits. So I'm feeling quite positive about this and am trying to eat sensibly and healthily and once good habits have formed I am hoping this will be for life.

I do really think our sessions have helped and I find myself thinking more sensibily about whether my body needs the food I'm about to eat rather than just mindlessly eating. I also find I'm buying smaller sizes of treats, ie chocolate, when I have it and am not wanting to buy the whole shop! If I do buy myself a treat I have found I can also leave some for tomorrow, or the next day, it does not worry me like it did before where I had to eat it now, although this still feels a little uncomfortable to me.
