AMERICAN-born author, coach and motivational speaker Annie Cap, 49, has found huge success with The Iceberg Process. She says changing the way you speak can cure phobias and depression. She has even written a book called It's Your Choice: Uncover Your Brilliance using The Iceberg Process.

NERISSA BLOWER tried to find out if it works...

Explain the Iceberg Process. Some people say you are what you eat. I say you are what you say. I have worked with people who have phobias and getting rid of negative words helped them to deal with their issues. I try to find significant factors in people's speech. If someone has a fear of snakes, say, they may use the word 'slimy' a lot. I would encourage them to remove this word from their vocabulary.I call these 'iceberg' words. They are acting as a sonar for the mind. Remove them and you can isolate negative experiences and destructive beliefs from the subconscious. I've had all kinds of clients, from top executives to housewives. Anyone can benefit.It sounds all American to me. I actually come from Seattle, Washington, in the USA – home of Microsoft, Boeing, Frasier and Starbucks – and now have dual citizenship after working in the UK and marrying a wonderful Englishman. I was working in the telecom industry in sales but wanted to transfer overseas. I had a lust for exploring and wound up in London in 1998 with a cable and wireless company.What was it like? I was really shocked at how different Britain was to America. The social norms, language, food and shopping were all different. Stores closed really early and I found it amazingly difficult to do things.At work when I was taking notes people were surprised I called my notepad a tablet. I even wrote down words and phrases I didn't understand. It came to 400.I grew up on the West Coast where we always had beautiful fresh food. When I saw my first Iceland store with everything frozen it was just weird! It was certainly a difficult transition.What started you writing? I always thought I would write a book and that I would probably write something about our family history. After 18 months in England I woke up one morning really early and just started. I reached 90,000 words very quickly. People were amazed because it usually takes at least a year to write that many words.What books have you written? I've written They're Close, about what happened during and after my mother died in 2004. It's strange, I had almost a better relationship with my mother after she died; I didn't get a chance to be with her at the time of her death. One day, when I was with a client I started gagging and was unable to catch my breath. I called my sister and could hear my mother coughing in the background. It was like she wanted me to be there. Have you ever seen a ghost? It's extraordinary. I used to be a bit of an Atheist and rejected faith when I was young, even though I was raised a Catholic. But after my mother's death, I felt like she came back and touched me. I feel we can go beyond our physical bodies. What else have you written? I am a third of the way from finishing a book about recognising divine inspiration. It's for artists, writers or anyone who procrastinates. They get an idea but they can't quite do it, such as going on stage or writing a book. The book is about making people aware they have this inspiration and nudges them in the right direction.Have you met anyone famous? I have a lot of famous clients, singers, actors, actresses, editors of books, magazines and a couple of board directors, but obviously I can't name them here. I'm also in contact with some authors on Facebook including Karl Dawson and Michael Ledwith, who has also starred in a three movies. I've had a few endorsements including Sue Stockdale, who was the first woman to ski to the North Pole, and Tammy Weis who is a jazz singer nominated for London's Best Female Vocalist 2010.Do you get star struck? I did at first but it feels wonderful they are allowing me to guide them. When I'm talking to them as clients it makes me think that in a way we are all the same. I feel honoured they want to speak to me. Do you come from a big family? Yes. I'm the youngest of seven, four brothers and two sisters. My dad, who is 86, still lives at home. I try to see them once a year but I'm really established here. I think of Petham as my home. I miss the depth of friendships I have in America and special family events but I usually go back in January, when ticket prices are cheaper.How did you meet your husband? Strangely, I met Simon on my second job, working for a mobile phone Sim card company. I was training in Germany and he was the head of marketing. Our eyes just locked. One of our friends took a photo of us just staring at each other. We have been married for six years and have an adopted cat called Tino.What are your hobbies? I love skiing, scuba diving in the tropics, photography, yoga and gardening. I also love entertaining and having people over to dinner. When I haven't been writing I paint, usually abstracts, portraits of American Indians and butterflies.I don't watch a lot of TV but I'm really into Masterchef, Grey's Anatomy and Frasier.There are probably 1,000 books at home. My favourites include The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield and Eat Love Pray by Elizabeth Gilbert.What happened to your sales job? In 2000 I decided to re-train as a holistic therapist. I thought I had left the high tech arena behind but in many respects I didn't; the body and mind are as high tech as it gets. Annie Cap will be at Waterstones book shop in Rose Lane, Canterbury, on Thursday December 3 to sign copies of It's Your Choice (Paragon Publishing £15.99). She has lived in Kent for 10 years and practices in Canterbury, Petham and London. She has a clinic at Holistic Health, 62 Northgate, Canterbury.

One of our friends took a photo of us just staring at each other. We have been married for six years and have an adopted cat called Tino.What are your hobbies? I love skiing, scuba diving in the tropics, photography, yoga and gardening. I also love entertaining and having people over to dinner. When I haven't been writing I paint, usually abstracts, portraits of American Indians and butterflies.I don't watch a lot of TV but I'm really into Masterchef, Grey's Anatomy and Frasier.There are probably 1,000 books at home. My favourites include The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield and Eat Love Pray by Elizabeth Gilbert.What happened to your sales job? In 2000 I decided to re-train as a holistic therapist. I thought I had left the high tech arena behind but in many respects I didn't; the body and mind are as high tech as it gets.

Do you get star struck? I did at first but it feels wonderful they are allowing me to guide them. When I'm talking to them as clients it makes me think that in a way we are all the same. I feel honoured they want to speak to me. Do you come from a big family? Yes. I'm the youngest of seven, four brothers and two sisters. My dad, who is 86, still lives at home. I try to see them once a year but I'm really established here. I think of Petham as my home.
