Being a hypnotherapist is often a strange place to sit, as people always want to know ‘does it work’.

It’s not always appropriate or ethical to ask for a testimonial, and for the majority of my clients, it’s a journey.

So when a client shares with me there successes, I like to pass them on (with approval).

This amazing lady started her journey with me 18 months ago, she did my 6 session programme. By month six she had reached a 50lb loss, which in its self is fantastic.

But what I love even more is that she sent me a message last week to say that she had reached her target weight, AND more importantly she had discovered a passion for paddle, which has transformed her social life & mental & physical health.

Why is this so important, because it’s not the number on the scales, its the fact that she’s 18 months down the path. She hasn’t just lost weight, she’s kept it off, and continued on a path that’s brought more than just weight change.

This message tells me about how her life has changed. it tells me about the confidence and the connections she’s made, and how she’s feeling healthier and happier.

The journey is never just about the food or the weight. It’s about the thoughts habits, beliefs and behaviours.

Sometimes, the biggest changes aren’t the ones you can measure. They’re the things you start doing, the experiences you say yes to, and the life you begin to enjoy.

To my lovely client, thank you for taking the time to send such a thoughtful message, and sharing the happiness ❤️

I’m now on the other side of my vitrectomy, and I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who checked in, sent messages, flowers and wished me well or thought of me.

Eye surgery is certainly a strange experience. Especially given that you are awake for it ! Still can’t see yet, but I’m assured that’s normal.

I’m incredibly grateful to my family who have been waiting on my every need, and Alfie boy, who literally hasn’t left my side for the past week 🐶

Recovery is still in progress, and consists of maintaining the same posture for 2 weeks. For me thats laying on my right hand side and not moving my head. I’m allowed a 10 min break each hour.

1 week down…1 to go 💪

I’m not ashamed to admit I had a bit of a meltdown at eye casualty, being told I needed emergency surgery, my sight was at immediate risk…and, that I’ve still got the other eye to be fixed next.

This is when we realise that health really is everything, and we often just take it for granted ❤️

Open to book suggestions, and box sets to binge 😂

I just wanted to share a recent experience.

I was sitting in a hotel having a drink when a chap approached me. He introduced himself as a pastor.

He simply wanted to tell me that he had felt comfortable sitting in my presence and could sense a feeling of wisdom and intuition.

Then he asked:
Have you written that book yet?
No, I replied.
You will, he said.
And then he wandered off.
That was it.

All quite strange, but lovely.

But what caught my attention was that only a couple of days earlier, one of my clients had said exactly the same thing:

You should write a book.
I told her I wouldn’t have a clue what to write about or where to start.

She simply said:
It’ll come to you.

Now, I know how the mind works.

The brain is constantly making predictions about what might happen next. And once something becomes relevant to us, our attention becomes more likely to notice information connected to it.

This is partly where the reticular activating system (RAS) comes in. It plays an important role in regulating arousal and attention and helps filter the huge amount of information coming into the brain.

So suddenly, something that wasn’t even on my radar has become interesting.

A prediction was made.
I engaged with it.
And now my mind keeps pointing me towards possibilities.

What would I write about?
What could it be about?
Where would I start?

I have no idea whether I will ever write a book.

But it does make me wonder about synchronicity.

Is life trying to steer me somewhere?

Who knows.

Maybe it’s simply my brain doing exactly what brains do.

Or maybe there’s something more to it.

I’m happy to leave that question open.

What I do know is that if I hadn’t been open to that conversation, the moment would simply have passed me by.

Instead, my mind is now wandering with possibility.

So perhaps it’s worth asking:
What are you currently predicting about yourself?

What if, instead of ‘I can’t,’ you became curious about ‘What if I could?’

Be curious. Stay open to possibility.

Have you ever experienced something that felt like synchronicity?

You know you’ll feel better if you eat differently.

You know scrolling until midnight isn’t helping your sleep.

You know the thoughts going round and round in your head aren’t solving anything.

You know stress is affecting you.

You know what you should do.

And yet, somehow, you keep doing something else.

That doesn’t mean you lack the motivation, knowledge or willpower to change.

There is usually something happening between knowing what you want to do and actually doing it.

A thought.
A feeling.
A body response.
A familiar habit.
A belief.
A need for relief.

It happens so quickly that you only notice the behaviour.

The food is already in your hand.
You’ve already said yes.
You’ve already reached for the phone.
You’re already halfway through the thought loop.

I you can understand what happens before the automatic response, you can start to create a little more space.

It’s in this space, something important becomes possible:

choice.

You don’t necessarily need more information.

You may need to understand your pattern.

What’s the thing you know you should do, but still find yourself struggling to do?

Our thoughts and beliefs influence our behaviour.

Our behaviour then creates our out come.

When we start a behaviour there is always a positive intention that sits behind it. Even if in reality it’s become destructive, and unwanted.

The more we then keep behaving or doing a certain thing, the more we strengthen that belief and the neural pathway.

This strengthening, then has the potential to form part of our identity.

Most of the time the behaviour has become so automatic, that we don’t have any awareness to our thoughts or beliefs that sits behind the behaviour.

Behavioural psychology will argue that we can implement a new behaviour and that will in turn change the belief system. Yes, this is also true, but I would argue that’s the hard way. After all that’s the way most people approach behaviour change.

You also have to remember that a level of awareness is still required first. Most people have very little awareness to what happens prior to a behaviour.

The changes that happen in the nervous system, the feelings and sensations that arise, the thoughts or stories that preempt the behaviour. These feelings drive the behaviour that is familiar.

The conscious mind is estimated to only hold 5% of our thinking. The other 95% sits in the subconscious.

Hypnotherapy bridges the gap…it helps your mind to access what doesn’t sit in your day to day conscious awareness.

After all, how do change what we’re not aware of…and if you’re only aware of the behaviour and using that as the starting point, then you are pulling from willpower alone, and willpower sits within the 5% of conscious awareness.

Type 3 diabetes is insulin resistance of the brain, just like type 2 diabetes is insulin resistance of the body.

What happens in the body, happens in the brain. That’s why the risk of dementia for those with type 2 diabetes is so high.

A meta analysis showed that over all, those with diabetes had an increased risk of dementia by 73 %.
With a 127% greater risk of vascular dementia, due to the damage that diabetes causes blood vessels, and an Alzheimer’s risk increase is 56%

What we eat matters, it’s not about being perfect, it’s about what you do most of the time. Be honest with yourself, it’s not just sugar, it’s also the carbohydrates. 🍫🍪🍟🍞🍔

But it’s not just about food choices ⬇️

Do you sit still most of the time or do you move. It’s not about going to the gym once a week, it’s about what you do on a daily basis. Movement is walking the dog, walking to the shops, doing the gardening, house work…etc. we have to move 🚶🏻‍♀️

But it’s not just about that ⬇️

Stress management, this is the one that most people forget about. 💣

Chronic stress holds blood glucose levels elevated. Cortisol reduces the amount of insulin produced so that the glucose stays in the blood. This allows you to have a fast source of energy for the perceived fight or flight (except your not physically running or fighting anything), your just sat in a chair.

This is chronically elevated blood glucose levels, before you’ve even put an items of food in your mouth. Then add the lack of movement, and the comfort food, and this is why we have a crisis with health.

What we think matters, how we deal with our thoughts, how we manage our daily stress. How we attend to our needs, our inner critic. These things matter, because it’s our thoughts and identity, that contribute to stress, and then further drive the behaviour around food and movement.

Now tell me why counting calories fixes all of this ⬆️⬆️

This is why I’m a coaching psychologist, a metabolic health coach and a clinical hypnotherapist.

Your brain is designed to adapt.

Through neuroplasticity, repeated thoughts, behaviours and experiences strengthen neural pathways over time.

Hypnosis helps focus attention, quiet distractions and rehearse new patterns, creating a powerful environment for change.

Think of it like walking through a forest: the more consistently you take a new route, the clearer that path can become.

Hypnosis helps the mind to forge this path, to see things from a different perspective, to calm the nerves, to see the next step forward.

Hypnosis attends to the DMN (default mode network) the part of the brain that defaults to thinking of self. Self talk, self reflection, the critical self.

Hypnosis helps the mind to find space from this self referential thinking.

This space allows for room for a new narrative.

This is how we change.

When the mind can see the path, to know the way forward. When the mind can find space to think and view differently, the journey becomes easier.

💕 Change perspective.
✨ Change the pattern.
🧠 Strengthen the pathway.
