It’s time to let it go
You probably already know how much anxiety can cloud your mind and the effects it can have on your body, things like agitation, palpitations, worry, fear...the list can be endless.
How would you like to have more feelings of calm, relaxation, be fearless, more content. The list is equally as endless.
I may not have a magic pill to offer you but during a session with me we will work on what the main cause of the issue was. We will look into how that made you feel and how we can change that feeling by replacing it with something much more happy and positive.
If you want more information please contact me.

I have a few new followers here so let me tell you a wee bit about me.
Hi I’m Marina,
I love jelly sweets, walking and my grandkids, obviously my kids too, oh and Barry, best not forget him.
I’m from Leven, but have lived in Glenrothes for40 years.
I have 2 favourite quotes
“Nothing is impossible, the word itself says I’m possible” and “Be fearless in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire”
I am an award winning Clinical Hypnotherapist and Silent Counsellor.
I have been a therapist for 13 years and I work face to face with clients as well as online.
I specialise in working with anxiety and trauma. The reason I chose to niche in my field is because I know what it’s like, I’ve experienced anxiety and trauma, so I know first hand how changing your mindset and dealing with your past can help you move forward in life.
I work with people who feel overwhelmed, on edge or stuck in constant overthinking, even when life looks fine on the outside.
My work focuses on helping you feel calmer, more confident and back in control without having to talk through painful memories or relive past experiences.
I use a unique combination of Hypnotherapy, Silent Counselling & Havening ®️. These approaches work beautifully together to calm the nervous system, create a sense of safety and gently release what has been holding you back, all whilst in a relaxed and supportive environment.
This approach can help with
Ongoing anxiety and chronic worry
Panic attacks and emotional overwhelm
Trauma responses without retelling the story
Intrusive thoughts and overthinking
Low confidence and self doubt
Feeling disconnected or emotionally drained
Clients often notice benefits such as:
A deep sense of calm and relief
Feeling more in control of thoughts and emotions
Increased confidence and inner stability
Better sleep and clearer focus
Reduced emotional triggers
A more positive and grounded outlook
My aim is simple. It’s to help you feel like yourself again, without pushing, probing or reopening old wounds.
I also help with phobias & weight management.
If that sounds like the kind of support you have been looking for, then let me guide you.

A Gentle Reset
Before you scroll any further, just pause for a moment.
Place your hand on your heart. Take 3 slow breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth, and let your shoulders drop.
Now ask yourself quietly
What feels heavy right now that doesn’t need to be carried this week?
What would lightening the load actually look like?
Sometimes the weight we feel isn’t the situation, it’s the pressure we put on ourselves. The expectation we have to handle everything, we have to fix everything or that we have to be everything for everyone around us.
But you are allowed to put something down.
It might be a belief that you have, or a responsibility you feel can’t wait, it could be an internal argument you keep replaying or a standard that is simply too high.
Take a moment and write down one thing that you can release, even if it’s temporarily, not forever, just for one week.
Then notice what shifts when you stop gripping so tightly on to it.
These small mindset changes can create powerful emotional freedom over time.
You might want to save this post and come back to it later when you give yourself time to think what that thing is you are ready to put down.

You are not broken and you do not need fixed.
You just need to learn self love, self acceptance and an opportunity to grow and learn from what’s happened in your life.
I used to let it eat me up inside and it would create so much anxiety, so much self doubt in myself. I never believed I was good enough or that I would ever succeed at anything, which is why I think I continued to do learning, to prove to myself that I was capable. I’d believed I was stupid.
You see no matter what you tell yourself, your subconscious mind will believe it. If you tell yourself you are “broken”, it’ll believe you. If you tell yourself “you’re stupid” it’ll believe you. If you tell yourself you are anxious, it’ll believe you. If you tell yourself you are who you are because of your past, guess what!!
I am who I am because of my past. Because I was not going to let it beat me down, not going to let it make me stay unhappy, insecure, afraid, depressed. No way. I am who I am because I learnt to take the things life has thrown at me and turn them around. I saw the teachings in them.
Life doesn’t have to stay crap, you can turn it around. You can change how you feel about the things that happened in your life.
When you’re ready to do that get in touch.

I am…
The start of many affirmations begins with “I am…”.
Affirmations aren’t about you pretending that everything is fine, they’re actually a nice gentle way to help guide your nervous system into a safer state.
When anxiety shows up it’s because your mind is scanning for a threat. The affirmations help to interrupt that thought pattern, It’s like when you leave the room and forget what you were going to say or do, so breaks that negative loop. What they also do is send a calmer new message.
Your subconscious mind takes everything literally so when you start to use affirmations and tell yourself that you are safe, calm, amazing, whatever positive you want to use to replace the negative self talk with, it will accept it as part of who you are.
Statements that follow “I am” are powerful. But you shouldn’t force them. Start them slowly breathe in between each one so that your body can catch up with the words. If you say “I am calm and safe” then say it 3 times but emphasise a different word each time. For example
“I AM calm and safe”
“I am CALM and safe”
“I am calm AND safe”
The way we say it has different meanings.
Every morning I tap the side of my hand (because in silent counselling this point helps release feelings of holding onto negative thoughts and emotions) and repeat a few affirmations whilst I’m in the shower to help set me up for the day. You can use them at anytime throughout the day as well.
So when you use affirmations regularly you’re building a feeling of safely.
It’s not about trying to convince yourself of something unrealistic, it’s about reminding your body that it doesn’t need to stay on high alert.
Some affirmations you can say are
“I am safe, calm & relaxed”
“I can handle this one step at a time”
Do you use affirmations? What affirmation do you say regularly, drop in the comments an affirmation that can help someone today.

How can Silent Counselling help?
Silent Counselling is a meridian based therapy.
The meridians are the energy pathways that flow through your body, with each meridian linking to organs within your body. There are many acupressure points along each one.
As well as the meridians being linked to points throughout your body they are also linked to specific emotions.
When you go through events in your life your energy can become stagnant and the meridians get blocked with stuck emotions.
Silent Counselling is a rapid energy release technique and it has the benefits of not having to ask you about the cause of your emotional baggage, which is what makes this method unique. Not everyone wants to talk about their issues but they don’t want to hold onto it either.
Using muscle testing and your breath we can work to release those blockages.
If you want to know more drop me a message.

Everyone has a past.
Some people have a good, happy past and some might have a past that haunts them.
Whether it’s a past from some form of abuse as a child or abuse as an adult, it can sometimes leave you feeling alone. You may feel like you’re the only one going through it.
I spent a lot of years reading books and watching programs on abuse trying to understand it, to make sense of it, to know I wasn’t alone, that it wasn’t just me it happened to. I wanted answers, I just wanted to feel better about myself, after all I must have done something to deserve it.
But I didn’t. I didn’t deserve it, I hadn’t done anything wrong. It took me a lot of years and a lot of tears and medication to realise it. Then I discovered hypnotherapy which helped me move on from all of that. Which is why I got into doing what I do.
I’ve taken back control and so can you.
You can believe in yourself, have more confidence, feel less guilty, and stop blaming yourself.
A session with me will help you move on with your life and stop you from feeling the way you do about your past, from dwelling on it. It will allow you to transform your life and you will no longer feel the need to hide behind who you were.
Take back control of who you are.

Signs of Anxiety
Do you find yourself struggling to focus or concentrate on things.
This could be a sign of anxiety.
When we struggle to focus it’s not because we’re lazy, unmotivated or failing, it’s because the nervous system is overwhelmed.
When anxiety is present the brain stays on high alert waiting for danger to happen. So instead of concentrating its scans for potential threats and problems, what might go wrong next. Focus becomes a luxury that the mind feels it can’t afford.
It might show up as forgetting what you were doing, being easily distracted, rereading the same sentence over and over again or it might just be that you feel mentally foggy during simple tasks.
The solution isn’t to force yourself to concentrate, that could just end up making you feel worse or even frustrated at yourself. Teach your body that it’s safe enough so it can slow down.
Take a step back close your eyes and take a deep breath in, it’s like hitting a reset button.

You don’t have to say it with flowers?
Your partner puts on a movie because they want to see it but you don’t really, it’s not your thing. Do you say something because it’s meant to be something you both want to do or do you say nothing and let them watch it and you pretend you’re watching?
This doesn’t just apply to simple things like movies it can apply to so many things in your life. Are you doing what’s right for you if you don’t speak up, probably not.
If someone does or says something you don’t like then tell them how you feel otherwise you might be the kind of person who keeps replaying how you wish it had gone and it will just eat away at you. Doing things to please others can be associated with trauma & anxiety. Do what’s best for you.
Do you tell people how you really feel about something?

Myths About Anxiety
If you’re anxious you just need to relax.
How often has someone told you that all you have to do is just relax?
It’s one of the most unhelpful instructions given to a nervous system that’s in full alert.
The body doesn’t feel safe bough to relax, it’s not like it’s refusing, it just can’t. So telling someone to relax whilst they’re anxious is like asking a smoke alarm to enjoy the silence while it believes there’s a fire happening.
The truth is relaxation isn’t a starting point for anxiety, it’s an outcome. Your nervous system needs signals that it’s safe first, whether that’s breathing, grounding, gentle movement or meditation, then it can regulate and feel calm.
When your body settles, the mind follows, not the other way around.
So if you feel relaxing is impossible when anxiety shows up that’s doesn’t mean there is anything wrong with you, you jus need to find the right way to regulate your nervous system to help you switch off.

Is your super computer working for you…
Your subconscious mind stores everything that has ever happens to you. If you’ve ever watched some of those movies where there’s a room that is just filled with computers and the room gos for miles and miles and seems never ending, it’s kinda like that.
You may not be able to access the memories constantly, you might have to look a little deeper to find them and that’s because it’s your conscious memory recall that is a little bit suspect.
What is your conscious mind?
It’s the mind that is currently aware of what you are feeling, doing seeing, touching and experiencing. You are conscious of its you are aware of it.
It’s that is happening NOW, it’s not involved in the stored information. It is involved in your thinking and making decisions. It’s what you use to make choices. Do I want cereal or toast for breakfast. Do I want to go out or stay in. That kind of thinking.
What is your subconscious mind?
Your subconscious mind is working away in the background and you’re not necessarily aware of it. It keeps your heart beating, your lungs breathing, it knows everything about you, what you’ve seen, done and experienced. So because of this it influences how you react to things. Such as why you might have a phobia, why you eat too much, why you are overly anxious, why are you shy and quiet. On the plus side it also affects things like why you are happy, excited, successful, confident etc.
When you learn how to use the two of them together it is a powerful tool. You can use your conscious mind to positively influence your subconscious, and that’s where hypnotherapy can help. Because your subconscious mind wants to protect you and keep you safe, it has a lot of control over both your negative and positive behaviours. Sometimes your subconscious mind gets it a bit wrong. However you can use your conscious mind to reprogram your subconscious mind so that you do more of the things that are beneficial to your world and your future.
Using hypnotherapy is one of the tools I use to help clients reprogram their subconscious mind so that you can believe in yourself, be more confident and no longer be in fear.
