Researchers at the University of Manchester want to better understand the workplace experiences of adults with ADHD, particularly in relation to workplace stress, wellbeing and support needs.

Adults with ADHD are often underrepresented in workplace research and their experiences may be overlooked or misunderstood within organisational settings. By providing an opportunity for participants to share their experiences, the study seeks to contribute to a better understanding of how workplaces can offer more effective support, help manage stress at work, and promote more inclusive working environments.

For more information and to take part, please email Rebecca at [email protected]

The study has been assessed and received ethical approval by the University Research Ethics Committee of the University of Manchester.

💛 I can support you to manage these changes naturally & easily.

Homeopathy offers gentle, natural remedies that bring calm, courage, and balance to children, teens, and parents (& school staff 😊)

Here are some remedies you might want to consider as support while moving through big milestones:

🌼 Aconite – The Sudden Fear Remedy

The child who seemed fine at breakfast… but as soon as it’s time to walk into school, they freeze, their little body trembling with FEAR. Aconite is for those sudden waves of panic that feel overwhelming.

🌼 Pulsatilla – The Clingy, Tearful, Separation Remedy

Some children cling tightly at the school gate, tears & emotions, to then be smiling happily an hour later. Pulsatilla helps soften the parting emotions and bring calming reassurance.

🌼 Calcarea carbonica – The Steady Child Who Dislikes Change

Reliable, thoughtful children often thrive on routine but feel unsettled when life suddenly shifts. Whether it’s the first week of school or a new routine at home, Calcarea carbonica supports them in finding steadiness again.

🌼 Arsenicum album – The Anxious Perfectionist Remedy

For little ones (or teens) who worry endlessly, about forgetting things, about not getting it “right,” about being left alone. Arsenicum eases their restlessness and soothes the need for control.

🌼 Argentum nitricum – The “What If?” Remedy

Before exams, new jobs, or big moves, some children (and young adults) get caught in “what if everything goes wrong?” thoughts. Their nerves may even show up as tummy upsets. Argentum nitricum helps settle anticipatory anxiety.

🌼 Phosphorus – The Sensitive, Sociable Remedy

Bright, lively, full of enthusiasm, but easily drained by noise or too much stimulation. Phosphorus supports young people who need help staying balanced while adjusting to busy classrooms or shared living.

🌼 Ignatia – The Grief & Letting Go Remedy

Parents waving goodbye at the school gates, or children quietly missing home. Ignatia is the remedy for lump-in-the-throat feelings, sudden tears, and the emotions behind leaving

🌼 Natrum muriaticum – The Quiet, Reserved Remedy

Not everyone shows their feelings. Some children (and parents) hold sadness inside, keeping a brave face while missing home deeply. Natrum muriaticum gently supports those who hold in their grief

The remedies don’t change the fact that life changes but they do help children, teens, and parents find calm, comfort & resilience.

New chapters, change, growing up & moving on.

This time of year typically brings change for young people.

It could be the first step from nursery into primary, moving from primary to secondary school, starting college or leaving home to go to uni, or perhaps not knowing & wondering what’s next?

And alongside are exam results, decisions, expectations & mixed emotions.

The thing is, we all like familiar, don’t we? We feel safer with what we know, so even positive change can feel uncomfy.

But change is also where some of the most wonderful things can happen, right?

It’s where we grow & discover new parts of ourselves, meet new people & have new experiences.
Sometimes a chapter we’ve been afraid of can be one of the best.

For young people though, change can feel overwhelming.

I’m here to reassure we don’t need to have everything figured out perfectly. One step at a time.

Sometimes we need somewhere safe to talk, practical tools to help manage anxiety, emotions & support to recognise that we’re ready for what comes next.

Parent’s & Carer’s this applies to you too. ❤️

Watching your kid start school, move to big school, receive results, become independent or leave for uni can bring things up for you too.

I always have space to support young people and parents through these transitions.

With an informal integrative approach, I support mindset using NLP Coaching, & other therapeutic tools to support emotional wellbeing, confidence, anxiety & the challenges that come with change.

Whatever the exam result, or the next school, college or uni, whatever the next chapter looks like…

Please remember a grade is just one part of your bigger story & there are many different paths through life.

I’ve often found the path we hadn’t planned turns out to be exactly where we need to be.

I can also collaborate with schools, colleges, universities if you need practical help.

This is what I do, supporting children, young people and families through change & new beginnings 🦋

T H I S is why I do what I do 💗

Are you 💯 ready to give your lungs a breather to be Smoke / V**e/ Ni****ne
F R E E & don’t think you can?

You CAN

We used a bespoke blend of
Hypnotherapy / NLP / Homeopathy.

Grateful to this client for sharing her experience of working together.

🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

“After over 30 years as an on and off heavy smoker, I finally decided it was time to quit. I first contacted Nic in April to discuss hypnosis. Now in my 50s, I felt like I was in “sniper’s alley” it really was a now or never situation.

My initial appointment was about understanding my reasons for wanting to quit and giving Nic the opportunity to write my story.

After just one hypnosis session, I can proudly say

NOPE - Not One Puff Ever!

I haven’t touched a cigarette or v**e since May, tonight something happened that I honestly never thought I’d be saying, me, a woman in her 50s went to the gym for the first time in 11 (or possibly more!) years. And I have Nic to thank for helping me get here.

Would I recommend Nic? Absolutely!

If you’re thinking about quitting smoking, or if you need a little support with any aspect of your life, I would wholeheartedly recommend giving Nic a try.

Sometimes you just need that bit of help to make a life changing decision, for me, this was it.”

🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

This client was determined to get out of what she referred to as being in ‘sniper’s alley’.

Apparently, it’s a term used when we reach a certain age where we can begin to feel that lifestyle related illness and disease might just be sneaking up on us.
After more than 30 years of smoking, she decided she wasn’t waiting around to find out.

I love that she also joined a gym after 11+ years

This is what change can look like. One decision compounds and becomes another, then another.

When we leave unhealthy habits, we change whole patterns and live differently.

Please share for someone who might need to see this.

Happy Friday 🌻

I’ve been quiet on here over Summer.

I’ve taken time away from work & social media to rest & recharge, practising what I preach, because as I’m always going on & on, how we cannot pour from an empty cup, can we ?

It’s been good to have family time, to pause, meditate, walk, read, plan, reflect, learn & have space 💗

Looking towards September, it always feels like a strong month of new chapters.

We have lots of change ahead, I’ll be sharing mine & embracing some of that newness alongside yours.

I have some spaces for in person appointments Satori Complementary Therapy Centre

& new online appointment spaces, so you don’t need to be local to work with me.

I’m rested, recharged and ready to come back to doing what I love before sharing my new chapter.

If you’d like a call to explore how I can support you to rebalance, mind, body & soul, feel free to share, message or email [email protected]

Remember to pause.

Wishing you a positive & present weekend.

With love 🌿
