Hypnotherapy for Change

Helping you to make the changes that you want to make to live your best life!

Hello there,
My name is Michelle Wakerell and I am a qualified, registered and accredited Counsellor, Psychotherapist and Clinical Hypnotherapist. Perhaps the greatest battle we face in life is the one within ourselves, however we can win that battle......a life beyond the limitations of fear and self doubt. I have come to understand over the years that we all have amazing potential and untapped resources within us to make the changes we want. All we need is an open mind, willingness to learn and the courage to try new ways of thinking and behaving. I am blessed to be able to both live and work from my beautiful wee “off-grid” cottage on the side of a mountain in the stunning West Highlands of Scotland. Because of this, I am able to offer therapy that is as flexible as I am, and as unique as you are. Your therapy will either be from my cottage, or out amongst the beauty that surrounds us, or a combination of the both. Alternatively you may prefer to work from the comfort of your own home online with me - many clients find this more convenient as they do not have to consider the cost or time involved in travelling - this has allowed me to work with clients from around the world. You really can live a healthier and happier life............

Have you got a few spare minutes?
Then try this easy exercise.......

Close your eyes and just imagine your life a year from now if nothing changes.
If you do nothing and continue life the way it is right now - what will your life look like in a year?

Is it a life you desire?
Is it the life you would like to picture for yourself in the future?

If that life is not as you desire - you really can stop settling for what you have, and put changes in place to create the life that you would like.......starting today can change tomorrow, next week, next month, next year.

Where would you like to be a year from now?
What can you do right now, this very second to start creating that life and that change for yourself?

Let the changes begin today ❤️

New year, new you - what would you like to change?

Perhaps you want to stop .......or maybe start doing something?

Stop smoking?

Lose weight?

Start exercising?

Drink less?

Or perhaps there's something else?

These are all habits and behaviours that are run by our subconscious.
We learn habits through constant repetition. Initially consciously - and then passed to our subconscious to run for us without any conscious thought or input!

This is why we often do these things without realising - it’s no longer by conscious intention!

Hypnotherapy can address the why - change the programme - and put healthier alternatives in its place.

So, what would you like to change this year? ❤️

On this, the first day of a new year - just a gentle reminder if the last year was difficult ………..❤️

On this, the last day of the year - and on the subject of the “New Year”- and resolutions, here is an alternative.
This is something that I personally choose to do each year.

Just choose one word that will help to guide you through the following year - keep it simple.

In past years I have had many words including "gratitude, health, present, hope, growth, strength and peace".
The word I have chosen for 2026 is “now”.

Because by being in the now - all of those moments that I experience will stay with me for ever.

When we are not “in the now”, we are either ruminating about the past, or having anxiety for the future - so the present moment then actually slips away and we fail to fully appreciate that moment and fail to make precious new memories.

I would love to know the one word you choose for 2026? ❤️

In this “treading water” period after Christmas and between New Year, people begin to think of their “New Year Resolutions”………

From stopping smoking, to losing weight, becoming more active, travelling more, taking more time self care time, reading more, getting out amongst nature more ……the list goes on.

But often we set a goal that is too big and we then give up when ideally we should adapt it to make it more manageable and achievable.

Make sure to allow yourself the opportunity to stumble (because this is how we learn), and then adapt it if necessary to help you keep in sight your end goal❤️

I sincerely wish you this - and please remember re my previous post, there is support there if needed, and my inbox is always open ❤️

Good Morning.

Did you sleep well last night?
How did your children sleep?

It's not just adults that struggle to sleep ......

It is thought that as many as 8 in 10 children experience some type of bedtime anxiety.
These anxieties often surface at night when the day is over and there is nothing to distract the child from their thoughts.

It can include over thinking, worrying, fear of the dark and worries about going to school.

It will help to create a cosy sleep environment for them - explore with them how they can create a cosy environment by tidying their bedroom, having a special pillow or blanket or a lamp that illuminates a softer glow etc.

Calm the worries -
Bedtime can often be a time when children share their worries or anxieties of the day.
You can help them work through these worries by getting them to journal, draw or write out what is on their mind.
Another really good idea is to offer to hold on to the worries for your child, by telling them that you'll look after them so that they don't have to do so.

Hand on heart breathing -
When we get anxious or upset, our breathing starts to quicken - intensifying those anxious feelings and sensations.
Teach them how to breath into their stomach (or diaphragm) - taking slow, deep breaths in through their nose, and slowly exhaling out through their mouth, as if they're blowing out through a straw.

Breathing like this is beneficial for adults as well.

Sweet dreams 😴❤️

We all have an inner child.

What is your inner child trying to tell you?

Heal our inner child - and we heal the adult us too ❤️

"Whether you think you can or whether you think you can't, you're right" - Henry Ford

Of course, what Henry was pointing out was that mindset determines the outcome.
But what lies behind our mindset?
What are the stories that you tell yourself?

The starting point is always awareness.

Because our beliefs are held at an unconscious level they will come out in the language we use. Listen to what you say (particularly your internal dialogue), and take time to retlect on your own selt -talk (the conversation that runs on inside your head) .

I ask my clients to look at a situation where things did not go the way they would have liked and then to specifically look for the negative comments they have run through their head.
This can help reveal the limiting beliefs they have.
Once identified they can then look for the belief that they want instead that is empowering.

By just shifting how we think, it can have a powerful and long lasting impact on our beliefs, image and confidence ❤️
