🍂 September can feel like a fresh start, but it can also feel overwhelming.

The holidays are ending, routines are returning, schools are going back and suddenly life feels busy again.

If you’ve noticed your anxiety creeping up, your mind racing ahead, or that familiar feeling of “I need to get everything sorted”, you’re not alone.

September doesn’t have to mean putting more pressure on yourself.

Hypnotherapy and psychotherapy can help you:
✨ Calm an overactive mind
✨ Reduce anxiety and overwhelm
✨ Improve sleep
✨ Build confidence
✨ Create healthier habits and thought patterns
✨ Feel more in control again

Sometimes the most useful September reset isn’t changing everything around you, it’s changing how your mind responds to it.

✨ What can I help you with?

Sometimes people come to therapy knowing exactly what they want help with. Other times, they simply know that something needs to change.

As a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist & Psychotherapist and EMDR practitioner, I work with adults, children and teenagers with a wide range of challenges, including:

🧠 Anxiety, stress & overthinking
🌙 Sleep difficulties
💭 Confidence & self-esteem
✈️ Fears & phobias – including flying, driving and medical procedures
🫶 Trauma, PTSD & difficult past experiences
📚 Exam nerves & academic pressure
🎭 Performance anxiety – particularly for musicians and performers
🌿 OCD, intrusive thoughts & health anxiety
🍃 IBS and stress-related symptoms
🥂 Changing habits around food, alcohol, sugar, smoking or va**ng
🤢 Emetophobia & travel sickness
🔥 Menopause/perimenopause support
🌈 Support for neurodivergent adults and young people
💫 Motivation, mindset and feeling more like you again

Therapy doesn’t always have to focus endlessly on what’s gone wrong.

We can focus on where you want to be, what you’d like to feel differently, and the small changes that can help you get there.

🎒 Back to school isn’t easy for every child or teenager.

For some, September brings excitement.
For others, it can bring worry about friendships, lessons, expectations, exams or simply getting back into a routine.

Sometimes that worry shows itself in unexpected ways, difficulty sleeping, tummy aches, irritability, avoiding things they normally enjoy, or lots of “what if?” thoughts.

I work with children and teenagers from age 8+, helping them understand how their brain responds to stress and giving them practical tools to feel calmer and more confident.

Using Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, we focus less on what’s going wrong and more on helping them recognise their strengths and move towards how they’d like to feel.

Appointments are available in Hilperton, Bath and online.

September doesn’t have to mean doing more.

As summer begins to wind down, you might notice that familiar feeling creeping in!

The routines are returning.
The diary is filling up.
Work is getting busier.
And your mind is already racing ahead.

But perhaps this September could be less about getting everything sorted and more about feeling calmer, clearer and more in control.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can help you quieten an overactive mind, reduce anxiety and overwhelm, sleep better and start approaching everyday life from a calmer place.

I have appointments available for September in my peaceful therapy cabin in Hilperton, at The Practice Rooms in Bath, and online.

If you’ve been thinking about getting some support, this could be a good time to begin.

🍂 September can feel like a fresh start.

There’s something about the end of summer and the beginning of September that naturally brings our attention back to routines, goals and the things we’d like to change.

Maybe you’ve spent months thinking…

I need to do something about my anxiety.

I want to feel more confident.

I’m tired of overthinking everything.

I want to sleep better.

I want to feel more like myself again.

Therapy doesn’t have to mean spending months looking backwards or focusing endlessly on what’s wrong.

My approach is solution-focused, helping you understand what’s happening, calm the nervous system and begin noticing and building more of the thoughts, behaviours and responses you do want.

I work with adults, children and teenagers with a wide range of issues, including:

🌿 Anxiety, stress & overwhelm
🌿 Confidence & self-esteem
🌿 Fears & phobias
🌿 Sleep difficulties
🌿 Exam & performance anxiety
🌿 Habits and unwanted behaviours
🌿 Health anxiety & worrying thoughts
🌿 Life changes and new beginnings

September appointments are available at my private therapy spaces in Hilperton and central Bath, as well as online.

If you’ve been telling yourself “I’ll deal with it eventually”, perhaps September can be your eventually. 💛

GCSE Results Day!

GCSE Results Day can bring so many different emotions, excitement, relief, pride, disappointment, worry, and sometimes all of them at once.

For some young people, the build-up to opening that envelope or logging onto results can feel overwhelming.

As a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist, and with 16 years of experience working in education, I understand just how much pressure young people can place on themselves around exams and results.

A reminder for tomorrow:

✨ Your results do not define you.
✨ There is more than one route to where you want to go.
✨ One set of grades cannot measure your creativity, kindness, resilience or potential.
✨ Whatever is written on that piece of paper, there are always next steps.

And for parents, sometimes the most helpful thing we can offer is calm, reassurance and the message: “We’ll work it out together.”

If anxiety, confidence, school pressure or worries about starting sixth form, college or a new chapter are getting in the way, I work with children and teenagers aged 8+ to help them feel calmer, more confident and better able to cope.

What if travelling could feel calmer?

I’ve recently returned from a lovely few days in Venice 🇮🇹 and it reminded me just how much freedom there can be in feeling comfortable enough to travel, explore and enjoy somewhere new.

For some people, though, the thought of a trip brings anything but excitement.

✈️ Fear of flying
😟 Anxiety in the days before travelling
🧳 Worry about being away from home
💭 “What if…?” thoughts that take over
❤️ A racing heart or feeling panicky at the airport
🤢 Worries about feeling unwell while travelling

These are all things I can work with in therapy.

Using Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy and psychotherapy, we can help your mind and nervous system respond differently, so that travelling begins to feel more manageable, calmer and perhaps even something you can look forward to.

You don’t have to love flying. The goal might simply be to get on that plane feeling more in control, more comfortable and more able to enjoy where it takes you.

If there’s a trip you’d love to take but anxiety keeps getting in the way, September could be a good time to start working on it.

I KNOW I’M OVERTHINKING… BUT I CAN’T SEEM TO STOP

This is something I hear regularly in my therapy room.

Anxiety doesn’t always look like panic.

It can be:

• Replaying conversations in your head
• Constantly worrying about what might happen
• Struggling to switch off at night
• Feeling tense or on edge for no obvious reason
• Avoiding things you used to enjoy
• Seeking reassurance again and again
• Feeling exhausted by your own thoughts
• Waking up with that familiar feeling of dread

The good news is that our brains are capable of change.

My work focuses not only on understanding anxiety, but on helping you move forward, calming the nervous system, changing unhelpful patterns and helping you feel more confident and in control again.

You don’t have to wait until things become unbearable before seeking support.

NEW BEGINNINGS CAN FEEL BIG

A new school. A new college or university. A change of class. Starting GCSEs or A-levels. Or simply getting back into a routine after the summer.

For children, teenagers and students, new beginnings can bring excitement, but they can also bring anxiety, overthinking, disrupted sleep and a real wobble in confidence.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent 16 years working in education, so I understand the pressures young people can face both academically and emotionally.

Through Solution Focused Hypnotherapy and psychotherapy, I help children and young people to:

✨ Manage anxiety and overthinking
✨ Build confidence and self-esteem
✨ Develop a more positive mindset
✨ Cope with school, exam and performance pressure
✨ Improve sleep
✨ Feel calmer in social situations
✨ Build resilience when things don’t go to plan

Sometimes a little support at the beginning of a new chapter can make a huge difference to how it unfolds.
