Who or what makes you feel happy? I always ask my clients about what makes them feel good because as a solution focused hypnotherapist I know how important it is to train our brains to recognise and appreciate the good things in life. This is because it helps the brain to produce and maintain a steady flow of serotonin, a feel-good brain chemical that plays an important role in regulating mood and protects against low mood and depression.

I received a lovely mood boost of serotonin and oxytocin this week when this photo of our little one at the cat shelter popped up in my photo feed reminding me that I took it two years ago. That’s when I first met Rosie who was staying at Paula’s Cat Rescue centre (which has since closed, sadly). It was an instant friendship. I had been grieving for our previous cat who had passed away but I was finally ready for a new furry friend. I adopted Rosie and brought her home shortly afterwards. Together our family cat has played a big part in keeping our household happy and playful. 🐱❤️

Hello Monday and the start of a new week - a new opportunity to make positive changes in your life. This will work when you are consistent in what you do, day in, day out to show up for yourself and your personal goals. 🌟

The small steps that you take, whatever they are, those actions, however small, really matter because over time they have an accumulative effect. This week choose to start your journey toward success and start taking those small steps forward. You never know where they might lead… and if you need a helping hand then just get in touch.

Winter berries glistening in the sunlight like rubies bring me joy. ❤️
There’s something magical about the winter sunshine especially on cold, crisp days in January that produces the most amazing natural light. When I walked into the garden the other day and saw a flash of red against the clear blue sky I had to take a photo. The garden looks a little sparse of colour at this time of the year but at least these red berries make a nice contrast to the surrounding greenery and they give me and my clients something pretty to feast our eyes upon.

Also, it’s good to stop what I am doing and take a mindful moment in my busy day to notice something that lifts my spirits. For me, being a nature lover, it’s always something outside that provides me with a glimmer of happiness or calm. I have worked consistently to train my brain to notice and appreciate the good things in life, however small. ✨

You can do this too. Instead of focusing your attention on the negative aspects of life, this will help you to recognise and appreciate the good things – the positive aspects that we can so easily ignore especially when feeling anxious, low, stressed or overwhelmed. So look out for the little things that make you feel good and pay attention to them, in the moment. These small moments of pausing and engaging in gratitude or appreciation can calm your nervous system and help to shift your mood. 💚

If you are looking for a hypnotherapist ensure you look for someone who is fully qualified, registered with a recognised professional organisation and who has participated in an in-person, face-to-face taught course. In the UK the only externally validated course for training in hypnotherapy is the Hypnotherapy Practitioner’s Diploma (HPD) which is a Level 4 qualification. Anyone can set themselves up as a hypnotherapist and they may or may not have had any formal training. There are many individuals out there who have not completed the HPD but describe themselves as a hypnotherapist or psychotherapist. Please be careful who you choose if you decide to see a hypnotherapist, or therapist of any kind. Make sure that they are professionally qualified, registered and insured to practise the therapy being offered. Unfortunately, there are many unethical individuals who would be only too happy to take your money, so the onus is on you to choose with care and to be discerning.

I hold two qualifications in hypnotherapy: the HPD and a Diploma in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy. I am also registered with the organisation that approves the standards for HPD training and that is the National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH). I am required to engage in compulsory continuous professional development (CPD) and supervision for my work, and I am obliged to work within the ethical and professional framework of the NCH. With over ten years of experience and having undertaken many hours of CPD, I have helped many people with a wide range of problems.

As this year ends honour all that you have done and if that has simply been about getting through the days, the weeks and the months then acknowledge that with self-compassion and self-acceptance. There is no need to measure yourself in terms of anyone else’s values or measures of success. Life can often be struggle for a person with anxiety, low mood, feelings of overwhelm or any other personal difficulty, so as you review the ending of 2025 do so with kindness toward yourself. 💜

If self-care and healing are your intention for the year ahead, then I am here to lend a gentle and supportive helping hand.

Yesterday, it was lovely to enjoy an extra-long lie in – a little treat for myself and a reminder of the healing power of sleep, rest and relaxation. After I finally got up I stripped my bed down to air it. Someone else decided to have a duvet day too! I couldn’t resist taking a photo of my furry friend’s cheeky little face poking out between the folds of fabric. 🐱

What I love about this time of the year, is the opportunity to slow down, reduce the pace of life, reconnect with myself and take time out to do what I want to do. Our bodies and our minds need to rest physically, mentally, and emotionally. None of us should have to wait for the Christmas holiday period or any other holiday period to make time for that. Self-care is essential all year round, so I hope you are managing to take care of yourself and make time to simply do nothing other than what you want to do, without feeling guilty. You deserve it! 🌺

Christmas – it’s a lot of hard work for so many people, especially women, as we find ourselves juggling many tasks and perhaps trying to meet an unrealistic, idealised standard that isn’t achievable. Comparing ourselves to others, imagining what a perfect Christmas should be like and taking the responsibility for delivering a Happy Christmas for everyone else is not good for our emotional wellbeing.

Don’t let stress, feelings of anxiety or overwhelm get you down at Christmas time. I know it can be tough time so let’s think about how the situation can be managed, shall we? Could think of just one thing that would make Christmas Day easier for you, then put that in place for yourself? Some things that could help include:

🎁 Planning some time out just for yourself for some rest and relaxation. Even if it’s just 10 minutes to do something that will help you to take a moment to reset your body and your mind.
🎁 Taking a few slow and long deep breaths and exhaling fully can help you to be in the present moment enabling you to feel calm and in control.
🎁 Allowing others to do some of the heavy lifting and help out on the day. If possible, delegate and assign tasks to different family members.
🎁 Responding not reacting! Decide not to allow anyone to press your buttons and trigger you emotionally. Think and plan beforehand how you would like to respond rather than react to that certain person whose behaviour you find challenging.
🎁 Being kind to yourself and embracing the imperfections of life. Christmas is meant to be a time of celebration and love. If you love yourself enough, you’ll be kind to yourself, maintain good emotional boundaries and ensure that the day goes well enough for everyone, including yourself.

I hope you can give yourself permission to redefine the festive season on your own terms rather than feeling obliged to please everyone else or to create the “perfect Christmas.” Whatever you choose to do I wish you joy and peace at Christmastime. 🎄❤️
