Michelle Y Wakerell - Hypnotherapy for Change

Michelle Y Wakerell - Hypnotherapy for Change Counsellor, Psychotherapist and Clinical Hypnotherapist - 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............

I can usually help my clients resolve their fears and phobias in only 1 - 3 sessions.

How amazing is it that someone can have their quality of life affected for years and years - and then it can be resolved that quickly!

You don't need to continue to try every way you can to avoid that fear or phobia (in fact this tactic will actually make it worse).

It can be eliminated quickly leaving you to live your life as you want to live it.

Loneliness can be debilitating.

We are social beings and our health and wellbeing is crucial to having regular social interactions with others.

Without this we can easily fall into a negative cycle of low mood - feeling and thinking - and that can consequently create further avoidance of contact with other people.
This then causes us greater isolation and deterioration in both our mental and physical health.

It may then be that we look for ways outside of ourselves of coping - and thus alcohol and drugs can go on to become potential problems.

Be kind to yourself.......and also reach out to those you know to be alone.

Sometimes just knowing that we matter and are valued can make all the difference and may be all it takes for us to start the healing journey ❤️

Change can be much easier than you think ❤️

What should you be proud of?

We rarely stop and think about all the little accomplishments that we achieve every day - but we really should............

Perhaps you’ve asked for help even though it was difficult to do….

Perhaps you’ve picked yourself up when you’ve fallen down….

Or perhaps you have helped pick someone else up that has fallen down….

Perhaps you’ve taken some self-care time for you….

Perhaps you’ve not ignored your emotions or how you are feeling….

Perhaps you’ve shown love and compassion to people around you….

Perhaps you have truly shown gratitude….

Perhaps you have truly felt gratitude….

Be proud of what you achieve every day ❤️

Is this you? If so, please know it doesn’t have to be this way - change can be easier than you think ❤️ ...

Some people believe that trauma and PTSD is a lifelong condition with memories that cannot be changed.

But thankfully with our understanding now of neuroscience, we know that this is not correct!

Peoples traumatic experiences may all be different, however everyone's traumatic memories are encoded the same way on an electrochemical level.

By using something called therapeutic memory reconsolidation, we are able to change the neural pathway to illicit a different emotional response.

We can't take the memory away - but we can take away the painful emotion attached to it.

Change can be easier than you think ❤️

At this time of year I am usually working with clients struggling with exam stress either at school or college etc - and this year is no exception.

If you’re feeling under pressure, whether you're struggling with pre-exam nerves or seeking to enhance focus and concentration, hypnotherapy can help you as well as providing tools to help you succeed ❤️

As we draw to an end of Mental Health Awareness Week (May 11th - May 17th), a gentle reminder……….

Asking for help IS brave - and yet we are conditioned to believe that it's a sign of weakness and we should just soldier on!

But it's not a sign of weakness.
It's a sign of strength!
Strength to be brave enough to say that one word!

Needing help, wanting help and wanting to make changes in your life - all begin with saying that first little word…….”help".

l can help you make those changes that you want to make to enable you to live your best life.

What would you like to change? ❤️

A little bit of anxiety is actually healthy and isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
It can spur us on, help us stay alert, make us aware of risks and motivate us to solve problems.

However, it can become a problem when it affects our quality of life.

If you struggle with anxiety and are finding it is out of proportion to your situation - and difficult to control, the good news is that hypnotherapy really can help you - please feel free to inbox me with any questions.

Change can be easier than you think ❤️
