This client saw me for 8 sessions.

During this time they stuck to regular meal times and cut back on unhealthy snacking and drinking.

No calorie counting or “dieting” just getting rid of old habits and incorporating new ones.

Within a few sessions the client felt healthier and less “fat” (their words).

They soon noticed that their belt was getting looser and what’s more they weren’t even tempted by foods that they previously couldn’t resist.

After 6 sessions they did their first weigh in and were pleased to have lost weight.

They have been out to social events - eating and drinking what they wanted but not actually “wanting” to eat much.

They are now in a great position knowing that they have the mindset shift to enjoy Christmas without the binge eating and subsequent guilt that they experienced previously.

Message me to find out more 😊.

When Christmas chaos hits…try this 5 minute reset

09/12/2025

Today on this bus, or your train, or your commute — somewhere around you could be someone quietly struggling.

The facts speak for themselves: 1 in 6 adults in the UK has experienced depression, and almost one in four has a common mental-health condition right now.

Work-related stress, anxiety and depression affect nearly a million workers — many of them balancing family, career and life, just like you.

If you’re juggling overwhelm, women at mid-life, business owners and high-achievers especially — you don’t have to carry it alone. Talking helps. 💬

Let’s talk habits.

With the new year fast approaching many of us will be thinking of how we want our lives to be different in 2026.

We’re going to eat healthier, spend more time with the family, go to the gym regularly, get on top of the washing, save more money…

This sounds great! But do you know that out of a 1000 people only 6% of those will have maintained their most important resolution 6 months later?

The reason for this is that the brain is lazy. It takes a huge amount of energy to keep us doing the things that we already do regularly. The primitive brain doesn’t want any more. It’s happy to keep you where you are now. You don’t need to change. Ok you might not be happy or fulfilled but you’re alive aren’t you? You are surviving. No need to rock the boat…

It takes willpower and a lot of effort not to give in to our primitive brain. We need to make our new habits specific, achievable and hold ourselves accountable.

This is where Solution Focused Hypnotherapy comes into its own. I can help you to focus on one specific goal at a time. Visualising it in as much detail as possible.

For example, rather than “I want to go to the gym 3 times a week” hold yourself accountable - “I am going to go to the gym every Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning at 7.30am. I will get my gym clothes ready the night before. I will set my alarm for 6.45am have a quick wash and a light snack before leaving the house. If I miss a session I will do a double-session the following day”

It takes a month for a a new habit to become automatic. Change one habit at a time. Once that becomes automatic you start a new habit.

Over a year that will be 12 new habits made.

Imagine what difference that could make to you….
