Rediscover & Rebalance Hypnotherapy

To those that know me, you'll know I enjoy my football...
Tonight was a great start for England in the ⚽️ World Cup ⚽️.
I'll be honest, there are a few players that I'm surprised, weren't selected.

However, life is rarely straightforward, regardless who we are. Sometimes we don't get the things we want, and at other times we're asked to do things we'd rather avoid. How we respond to these situations reveals a great deal about our character, our resilience, and our mindset.

Afterall, It's not the challenges themselves that define us, but the choices we make when facing them.

Just like the footballer, it's about how they respond to decisions made, both on and off the pitch ⚽️🏆⚽️.

No-one should suffer in silence, it doesn't help anyone, least of all yourself... tell you what, now that we're into the 6th month of 2026. Let's make a commitment to ourselves, "no more suffering in silence to please others, it's times we accept, it's ok... to not be ok!"

If you're struggling, or you notice someone who is, be it a friend, family member or a colleague. Share this post with them, let them know, life can and will get better. Sometimes we just need to 'Rediscover' who we are? and what's important to us?

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy has a healing effect; most clients refer to it as therapeutic and incredibly relaxing, so much so they feel healthier and at peace in their thoughts and in life.

In my practice I work with clients to 'Rebalance' the pathways in their brain, such as managing their emotions, building their resilience, improving their overall mental health. Leading them to feel more empowered and living life more positively, with increased confidence and self-esteem.

Go on, share this post now, it may just be what someone struggling needs to read.

It's so exciting to finally see, Solution Focused Clinical Hypnotherapy finally being recognised, as the successful clinical therapy that it is.

Colleagues of mine from CPHT School of Hypnotherapy, were involved in this research... to establish the effectiveness of Solution Focused Hypnotherapy in our UK police force. The results have now been published and they speak volumes.

The mental health and wellbeing of Police personnel has received increased attention over the last 5 years and rates of mental illness amongst employees is high. Anxiety and Depression are the most common mental illnesses within our Police Force.

Currently our NHS prefer other therapy models, such as CBT. However, the tide is changing, especially after the results from this study were published.

The study has shown that front line Police... who are facing trauma daily, have made remarkable improvements with Solution Focused Hypnotherapy. During the study a quantative design was used to measure the changes in anxiety and depression, both pre- and post- intervention to measure the changes, using a rating scale.

It's that time of year... our days are getting longer, the weather is getting better, our gardens are in bloom, but this also means; bee's, wasps, spiders, butterflies, moths and more.

Entomophobia is the
umbrella term given to a phobia of bugs/insects.

If you'd like to enjoy the summer without severe anxiety, panic attacks, rapid heart rate, shaking, sweating, nausea, paralysed on the spot, upon seeing, hearing, or even thinking about bugs. Plus in severe cases sensory issues such as hallucinations.

If the fear of insects interferes with your daily life or causes constant distress, then drop me a message or call me. Hypnotherapy is a highly effective way to overcome your phobia, in just 4 sessions.

Everyone overthinks sometimes, but some people do it more frequently than others. Some of these individuals could have anxiety disorders, but not everyone does. "There are people who have levels of overthinking that are just pathological."

"Although the average person also tends to overthink things." I myself have succumbed to the trap of overthinking. Determined to understand the problem, I decided to speak to psychologists and learn why we are prone to overthinking.

"It's fair to say as humans we often confuse overthinking with problem-solving." People who do not understand you may say... “Just stop Anxiety, from Stopping You.” Oh if it was only that easy!🤬 The flippant remarks don't solve the problem either.

Overthinking is rooted in uncertainty 🧠. "Because we feel vulnerable about the future, we keep trying to solve problems in our head," “The Worry Trick: How our Brain Tricks us into expecting the worst and What we can do about it.”

I was so eager to finally return to work, after 3 spine surgeries and a brain surgery last year. I wanted so much just to get normality back in my life. However, I wasn't prepared for the couple of months that followed.

My return to work, as much as it was what I wanted, was making me anxious, I was so worked up... I caused myself some unpleasant physical symptoms, that then drained me. I was overthinking every little detail... it felt as though I was in self destruction mode.

Given my knowledge and experience as a Solution Focused Therapist. I was able to get myself out of the dark hole, with the support of my family, friends and colleagues. If what I've shared you can recognise in yourself, then get in touch. Please don't allow the overthinking to control you. Tomorrow is a new day to seize and enjoy...

As a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist, I'm afforded their luxury of working with so many diverse people.

Each and everyone of my clients remain with me long after they've finished their sessions and I no longer see them. You see the bond between the client and their therapist, is very special. It starts as strangers, but throughout sessions the therapeutic relationship becomes a collaborative, a safe partnership where they feel genuinely respected, heard, and understood. This foundation allows them to openly explore vulnerabilities, confront challenges, and work toward their mental health goals without fear of judgment.

Here is another lovely feedback from a Mum. I feel honoured that parents trust me with their most prized possession "their child".

It's rare that I ever treat myself. I'm usually always buying gifts for others, or getting bits and pieces for the house or the garden, especially this time of year.

However, I stumbled across a website recently and immediately I was hooked. Hoodies For Heroes is a fantastic brand, promoting connection, kindness and meaningful impact.

Every product they create is designed to spread hope and start conversations. Each individual piece carries a deeper purpose, to remind those around you, that they matter and to support mental health awareness initiatives.

A proportion of every order helps fund mental health programmes including support services, education, and community based initiatives that promote emotional well-being.

Click the link above to their website, you'll grab a 50% discount on your order and you'll be supporting a very worthy cause.

Your not just going to treat yourself...
You're helping to create a more compassionate world - one smile at a time.

* Is your child beggining to stress over their upcoming exams?

* Have you noticed if they're more irritable, anxious or disorganised?

* Do you wish you could wave a magic wand, allowing your son or daughter to be calm, focussed, have a healthy revision schedule, driven to do well, but equally composed and in a productive mindset to successfully get the grades they deserve?

𝗜 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽!...

Through regular therapeutic sessions, I can ensure your son or daughter... is relaxed, focused, confident and motivated, as they complete their exams. They will be composed and have a positive mindset, therefore enabling them to succeed. We'll also work on diminishing any brain fog, exam fears, physical symptoms (anxiety) or self doubt.

𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐄𝐱𝐚𝐦 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐀𝐧𝐱𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐲.

Sitting a test/exam can be an extremely challenging part of school life for teenagers and young adults. Lets not forget though, It's also a worrying time for parents or carers. Afterall, no parent wants to see their child scared, anxious, irritable, not sleeping or eating properly.

𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐬:
• worrying a lot
• feeling tense/irritable
• headaches, stomach pains
• not sleeping well
• loss of appetite or eating more than normal
• not enjoying activities they previously enjoyed
• being negative and low in mood
• feeling hopeless about the future
• withdrawn, not interacting with others
• avoiding school

If you know someone who is struggling, drop me a message.

Exam therapy sessions help immensely, they allow the young person to get the grades they've worked so hard for. It's cruel when success is snatched from our children because of anxiety, panic attack, stomach cramps, stress etc...

Please get in touch to secure regular sessions during exam season, as these appointments book up fast.
