Lawyer now helps people be the best they can be
A LAWYER gave up her legal career after finding a technique to help with her fear of flying that she wanted to share with others.
Suzanah Platt, 41, spent 10 years working in the high pressure environment of civil law but changed career direction after getting help with one of her own anxieties.
This saw her train as a practitioner in emotional freedom technique (EFT), which involves tapping acupressure points on the head and hands to help deal with anxiety and depression.
She said: “I first found the technique myself to help with a fear of flying and it was so successful where everything else had failed, that I knew I had to share it.
“I had been a lawyer for 10 years at a London law firm but after getting help with my own problem I wanted to share this with other people.”
Her last court hearing took place in May and she then qualified as an EFT practitioner and set up her own practice.
After only six months she is now moving into a room at the Laser and Beauty Therapy Clinic, an existing and successful business in Menai Bridge run by Ellen Jones and Ruth Brockley.
Suzanah said: “I have no regrets.
“Financially it is not the same while the practice gets established but now people smile when they leave my clinic, it was not always the same with law.
“In law there has to be a winner and a loser while here I can help everyone who comes to see me.”
She added: “I work with a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, cravings, past trauma, loss and grief and confidence issues.
“Anything that may be preventing someone from being the best version of themselves.
“My job is to provide a safe space where any issues can be worked through to achieve a positive outcome.
“I use a combination of techniques including emotional freedom technique (EFT ) also known as tapping to help clients free themselves from the past, to create positive present and a vibrant future. I love what I do and it gives me the chance to help people achieve their goals and release themselves from difficult emotions.”
