Many people are suffering with all kinds of anxiety be it social anxiety, health anxiety or low self esteem. Hypnotherapy is a wonderful therapy for helping with these issues.
I believe that we all have it within us to be strong, confident and compassionate beings, it's just that life has worn us down or overwhelmed us.
Hypnotherapy can clear out all the noise and help us to find our true self and reset our mind, rediscovering our inner strength to help with whatever comes our way.
Why not give it a try?

The first signs of spring are here and doesn't it feel good! Feeling the sun on your face, seeing the snow drops and the daffodils, it fills me with hope and peace.
Thinking of being in the garden, alone, with family or friends is special to me, my happy place.
Where is your happy place?
Taking ourselves away from the TV and internet is becoming more important as we are bombarded with negative news and negative images.
Make more time for your happy place to recharge, re-energise, find your inner strength and learn to say no!

The world is increasingly designed to depress us. Happiness isn't very good for the economy. If we were happy with what we had, why would we need more?
How do you sell an anti-ageing moisturiser? You make someone worry about ageing. How do you get people to vote for a political party? You make them worry about immigration. How do you get them to buy insurance? By making them worry about everything. How do you get them to have plastic surgery? By highlighting their physical flaws. How do you get them to watch a TV show? By making them worry about missing out. How do you get them to buy a new smartphone? By making them feel like they are being left behind.
To be calm becomes a kind of revolutionary act. To be happy with your own non upgraded existence. To be comfortable with our messy, human selves, would not be good for business. ~Matt Haig

If you’re in the northern hemisphere right now, everything feels like fighting against the wind. And that’s because it is. Be patient with yourself, you’re wintering, and you’re right on time.

The Many Faces of Grief

So it’s the start of a new year. I wasn’t quite sure what to say this year as 2023 left many of us feeling quite low due to the events going on across the world and the uncertainty many people are facing.
This time of year is also full of mixed emotions as some of us are lucky enough to spend time with family and friends while others struggle with the loss of loved ones.
I struggled to think of anything inspirational to say so I decided to take a step back for a while. This is something we all need to do from time to time and many people still find it difficult.
I spent less time on social media and less time on my phone. Recently, I have found myself going out without my phone or wearing a watch and I still survive!
I’m still not sure what is going to happen in 2024, I’m sure there will be challenges ahead, so I plan to take regular breaks from technology and spend my free time the old-fashioned way, going for walks, reading books and I’m going to give knitting a try!
May 2024 bring you peace, joy, strength, and love.🥰
