Awaken the Change

Awaken the Change Relief from anxiety & stress-based symptoms. Evidence-based hypnotherapy & coaching. Online. This includes people with work-related or personal issues.

WHAT I DO:
I empower people to feel better and develop their true potential. HOW I DO IT:
I work with adults around the world who feel stuck and want to change with hypnotherapy, counselling, coaching and training. I also bring skills from working as a nurse and nurse educator for over 30 years and training as a psychologist. I can help people with medical issues, stress and anxiety issues, goal setting, habits and struggles with learning and exams. As a result, people feel listened to and find new ways to feel better and achieve their goals. WHO I WORK WITH:
I have experience working with adults from all backgrounds, but the thing they all have in common is that they want to change something in their lives and can feel in control again. I love to work with people who need to get past self-limiting beliefs or have habits or fears that are blocking their way. As I also trained as a TEFL teacher (Teaching English as a Second Language) many years ago I have a special passion for helping people who are struggling to learn a second language by addressing the psychological aspects and motivating them to learn more. WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING:
Through feedback and testimonials, I have had hundreds of happy clients who have told me that I have helped them to change their lives. Tracy said | ‘I am so much more confident in my work and myself.’

Charlie James-Peers said | ‘I received 4 hypnotherapy sessions and the results have been beyond my wildest expectations. Would definitely recommend it to anyone thinking of receiving help. Linda is extremely well qualified and can help anyone. Thank you, Linda!’

Lynda said | ‘I would very much recommend this course. In just four weeks I have got a good insight into my own way of learning. It has given me the confidence and motivation to learn my language of choice.’

BACKGROUND:
I consider myself to be a lifelong learner, to improve not only myself but also working in helping professions to develop others. My background is in nursing, teaching and therapy work. I am qualified and experienced with an MSc in Hypnosis, research, medicine & clinical practice, an MSc in Psychology, BSc(Hons) in Nursing, and an MA in Interprofessional health & community care.

Living with IBS can feel exhausting. Many people plan their day around their gut—where the toilets are and what they can or can't eat because they worry about symptoms flaring at the wrong time.

If this sounds familiar, you are not alone. Hypnotherapy for IBS focuses on regulation and retraining, helping to:

🟢Calm the autonomic nervous system

🟢Reduce gut-focused anxiety and fear

🟢 Improve your sense of control and confidence

Teaching your nervous system to respond differently can interrupt the loop where symptoms increase anxiety and anxiety increases symptoms.

There is no “perfect” way to grieve.

Grief is a deeply personal experience, and there is no right or wrong way to feel. Whether you are experiencing numbness, sadness, or difficulty with everyday tasks, it’s important to remember that what you are feeling is real.

If you’re struggling to move forward after a loss, you don’t have to do it alone.

Watch the video to hear more about how we can work together to help you navigate these feelings and find a sense of peace again.

I’m here to help.

Toilet anxiety? You don’t have to suffer in silence.

What is Paruresis? Often called "shy bladder syndrome," paruresis is a form of social anxiety. It makes it difficult or even impossible to urinate when other people are nearby. It is much more common than many people realise.

It isn’t a bladder problem. It is a stress and anxiety response. When your nervous system goes into protection mode, your muscles tighten, and the process simply stops.

How it impacts your life: Paruresis can feel overwhelming, affecting:

🟢 Work and travel

🟢 Relationships and social confidence

🟢 Daily planning (mapping your day around "safe" toilets)

There is good news. Because this is a nervous system response, it can be helped with hypnotherapy and counselling. You can learn to feel calmer, more in control, and confident again.

Anxiety isn’t always panic

Sometimes it looks like overthinking, physical tension, and a brain that simply refuses to switch off.

If you find yourself stuck in a cycle of "what ifs" or feeling constantly on edge, your mind is likely just stuck in a high-alert protection mode.

Hypnotherapy helps you:

🟢 Quiet the internal noise.

🟢 Release physical tension.

🟢 Reclaim your ability to relax.

You don't have to stay "switched on" 24/7. Let’s help you find your reset button.

"It was just a pet."

Anyone who has truly loved an animal knows how untrue those words are. Our pets are our family, and their loss can leave a hole in our lives that others may not fully understand.

In my book, "Managing Pet Grief," I share personal stories and professional insights to help you understand why this loss hurts so much and how you can move forward while keeping their memory close to your heart.

I recently received this beautiful feedback from a client in the healthcare and science sector. Their journey from being "wary" to finding strength and hope is exactly why I do what I do:

"I was fortunate and privileged to meet Linda during a difficult time in life. I was a sceptic and a bit wary at first, being a scientist and in health care and having had negative, bordering on dangerous experiences of charlatans in the past, but I can honestly say, hand on heart, that hypnotherapy with Linda works!

The subconscious is a powerful tool. Linda is great value as she has a vast skillset and incredible understanding of the human condition. She creates bespoke hypnotherapy sessions to get to the core of the problems and corrects the underlying issues. She is warm and will connect with you and focus on what CAN be done so you can heal and adapt to anything life throws at you or any issue you have.

You will gain the skills and power to move forwards, self-sufficiently, with positivity, strength and hope. She is an amazing counsellor and wise, creative, generous and caring in her approach. It is almost a psychic experience as she will totally get you and your needs as they change with time. She is professional, respectful and trustworthy, and you will be in safe hands."

If you are looking for a professional, evidence-based approach to making a real change in your life, I am here to help.
