Mindful Moments Therapies, Havant (2026)

17/04/2026

This New Moon inspired practice guide has been created to support you in nurturing your wellbeing between therapy sessions, or as a gentle starting point if you are not currently in therapy but would like to feel more grounded, balanced, and connected to yourself.

The New Moon is often associated with fresh beginnings, reflection, and intention setting. The practices within this guide are designed to help you slow down, create space, and become more aware of your thoughts, feelings, and needs. Activities such as writing intentions, creating a calming evening ritual, decluttering your environment, and spending time in nature can all have a positive impact on your emotional wellbeing. These small, consistent actions can support clarity, reduce overwhelm, and help you feel more in control of your inner world.

You may find that some of these practices feel easy and natural, while others feel more challenging. This is completely normal. Self reflection and emotional work can sometimes bring up difficult thoughts or feelings. If this happens, it is important to approach yourself with patience and compassion rather than pressure or judgement.

While tools like these can be helpful, they are not a replacement for therapeutic support. If you find that you are struggling with persistent low mood, anxiety, relationship difficulties, or feeling overwhelmed, reaching out for professional support can make a meaningful difference. You do not have to navigate things on your own.

At Mindful Moments Therapies, I offer a supportive, and non judgemental space where you can explore your experiences at your own pace. I work face to face in Havant as well as online across the UK, supporting children, teenagers, adults, couples, and groups. Therapy can help you gain deeper understanding, develop coping strategies, and feel more empowered in your day to day life.

If you are considering taking that next step, you are very welcome to visit

Protection from Negative Energy Using Visualisation

Our emotional and psychological wellbeing can sometimes be affected by the environments we are in or the interactions we experience. Learning simple ways to mentally protect your energy can help create a stronger sense of safety, calm and personal boundaries.

One helpful technique is visualisation. Visualisation allows the mind to create a mental image that supports the nervous system in feeling more secure and grounded. When practised regularly, it can help you feel more centred and less affected by external stress or negativity.

Begin by taking a few slow, steady breaths. Allow your body to settle and bring your attention inward. As you breathe, imagine a gentle light forming around your body. Visualise this light growing into a protective sphere that surrounds you completely.

This protective sphere represents safety, strength and calm. Imagine it as strong and steady, allowing positive and supportive energy to move through it while reflecting away anything that feels harmful, stressful or draining. Within this space you remain calm, grounded and protected.

Spend a few moments noticing how your body feels inside this protective space. Allow the sense of safety and stability to settle within you. This practice can be used before entering challenging situations, after difficult interactions or whenever you need to reconnect with a sense of inner calm.

With regular practice, visualisation can become a powerful tool for emotional regulation, personal boundaries and nervous system support.

Take a moment to calm the mind and regulate the nervous system. Our greatest gift is within nature. It’s all around us and can help us to be present and in the moment.

Beginning therapy can feel uncertain, and it is completely natural to wonder what the process might be like. This guide has been created to gently support you in understanding what to expect, whether you are currently in therapy, considering starting, or simply looking for ways to support your own wellbeing.

Therapy is a space where you can bring whatever is on your mind. There are no topics that are off limits. You are welcome to talk about your thoughts, feelings, relationships, past experiences, or anything else that feels important to you. It is also important to know that you are in control of what you share and when. You can take things at your own pace, building trust and comfort over time.

Finding the right therapist can take time, and it is okay if the first person you meet does not feel like the right fit. A strong therapeutic relationship is key to feeling safe and supported, so it is important that you feel able to be yourself. You are also encouraged to give feedback within sessions. Therapy is a collaborative process, and your voice matters in shaping the work.

At times, you may notice that you feel worse before you begin to feel better. This can happen as you start to explore difficult emotions or experiences that may have been held in for a long time. This is a normal part of the process, and it does not mean that therapy is not working. With the right support, these moments can lead to meaningful change and deeper understanding.

Growth in therapy is not always obvious or immediate. Often, it shows up in small and unexpected ways, such as responding differently in a situation, feeling slightly more confident, or becoming more aware of your thoughts and emotions. Change takes time, and the work you do between sessions is just as important as the time spent in them.

Therapy is not only for times of crisis. Many people seek support to better understand themselves, improve relationships, or develop healthier coping strategies. It is also common to feel tired or emotionally drained after sessions, especially when you have shared openly. This is your mind processing what has come up, and giving yourself time to rest afterwards can be very helpful.

If you are not currently in therapy, you can still begin to apply some of these ideas in your daily life. Reflecting on your experiences, allowing yourself to feel emotions without judgement, and taking small steps towards self care can all support your sense of wellbeing. However, if you find that you are struggling, feeling overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward, it is important to know that help is available.

At Mindful Moments Therapies, you will be met with understanding, compassion, and a safe space to explore whatever you are going through. Support is available face to face in Havant or online nationwide, offering flexibility to suit your needs. Work is offered with children, teenagers, adults, couples and groups, ensuring that support is accessible at every stage of life.

Reaching out for support can feel like a big step, but it is one that can lead to meaningful and lasting change. If you are ready to begin, or would like to find out more, please visit www.mindfulmomentstherapies.co.uk

Understanding Different Types of Trauma and How Therapy Can Help

Trauma can affect people in many different ways. It may develop after a single distressing event or through repeated experiences that overwhelm a person’s ability to cope. Trauma can affect emotional wellbeing, relationships, physical health and a person’s sense of safety in the world. With the right support, healing and recovery are possible.

How Therapy Can Help

Therapy provides a safe, supportive and confidential space where individuals can explore their experiences, understand their emotions and begin the healing process.

Counselling allows people to talk openly about their experiences, feelings and challenges. Through compassionate listening and guidance, counselling can help individuals process difficult memories, develop coping strategies and build resilience.

Somatic Therapy focuses on the connection between the mind and the body. Trauma is often stored within the nervous system and physical body. Somatic approaches help individuals gently reconnect with bodily sensations, regulate the nervous system and release held tension or stress.

Every person’s experience of trauma is unique, and therapy can be tailored to meet individual needs. A combination of approaches can often provide powerful support for healing, emotional regulation and personal growth.

Sessions are available in person in Havant or online. Phiona works with children, adults, couples and groups, providing a compassionate and supportive environment to help people move towards healing and wellbeing.

There are times when you might feel constantly on edge, overwhelmed by your thoughts, or emotionally drained without fully understanding why. You may notice yourself overthinking conversations, struggling to relax, or reacting more strongly than you would like. Even when things look fine on the outside, inside can feel very different.

You might feel stuck in patterns that keep repeating, unsure how to slow things down or regain a sense of control. It can feel frustrating, and at times isolating, especially when you cannot quite put into words what is happening for you.

The Mindful Moments Method offers a gentle and effective way to begin shifting this. It is a four part approach centred around noticing, regulating, rewiring and reconnecting.

Noticing allows you to become aware of what is happening in your body and mind, without judgement. Regulating helps you to calm your nervous system so you can feel more grounded and present. Rewiring supports you in changing unhelpful thought and emotional patterns. Reconnecting brings you back to yourself, your needs, and a greater sense of balance.

These four stages are essential in helping the body to ground and settle. When your body feels safe and present, it creates the space for real shifts in energy, emotion and behaviour. Change becomes possible in a way that feels manageable and sustainable.

If this resonates with you, you are not alone. Many people are quietly struggling in similar ways, and support can make a meaningful difference.

Understanding Different Types of Grief and How Therapy Can Help

Grief is a natural and deeply personal response to loss. Although most people associate grief with the death of a loved one, it can also arise from many other life changes such as relationship breakdown, illness, loss of a job, miscarriage, or significant life transitions. Everyone experiences grief differently and there is no right or wrong way to grieve. Understanding the different types of grief can help people recognise their feelings and seek the support they need.

Normal Grief
Normal grief is the natural emotional response to loss. It may involve sadness, longing, anger, guilt, confusion and periods of intense emotion. People may experience changes in sleep, appetite and concentration. Over time, many individuals gradually adapt to the loss while continuing to honour the person or situation that has changed.

Anticipatory Grief
Anticipatory grief occurs before a loss happens. It is common when someone is caring for a loved one with a life limiting illness or when a significant change is expected. People may experience sadness, worry, or emotional preparation while the person is still alive or while the change has not yet occurred.

Complicated Grief
Complicated grief occurs when the intensity of grief remains overwhelming for a prolonged period and significantly affects everyday life. Individuals may feel unable to move forward, experience persistent longing for the person who has died, or find it difficult to engage in daily activities.

Disenfranchised Grief
Disenfranchised grief is grief that is not openly recognised, acknowledged, or supported by others. This can occur after losses such as miscarriage, the death of a pet, the end of a relationship, infertility, or the loss of someone with whom the relationship was not widely known or understood. Because the loss is not always validated, people may feel isolated in their grief.

Delayed Grief
Delayed grief occurs when emotional responses to a loss are postponed. Some people initially focus on practical responsibilities or caring for others and may suppress their feelings. The emotional impact of the loss may then surface later, sometimes months or even years after the event.

Collective Grief
Collective grief is experienced by a community, group or society following a shared loss. This can occur after public tragedies, natural disasters, or the death of a widely respected public figure. Shared mourning can bring people together and create a sense of connection and support.

Cumulative Grief
Cumulative grief occurs when a person experiences several losses within a relatively short period of time. Each loss builds upon the previous one, which can make the grieving process feel more intense and overwhelming.

How Therapy Can Help

Grief can affect emotional wellbeing, physical health and relationships. Therapy provides a compassionate and supportive space where individuals can explore their feelings, process their experiences and begin to adapt to life after loss.

Counselling offers a safe and confidential environment to talk about difficult emotions and memories. Through supportive conversation, individuals can process their grief, develop coping strategies and begin to make sense of their experiences.

Somatic Therapy focuses on the connection between the body and emotional experiences. Grief and loss can be held within the nervous system and physical body. Somatic approaches help individuals become aware of bodily sensations, gently release tension and support regulation of the nervous system.

Clinical Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to access the subconscious mind. This can help individuals process difficult emotions, reduce anxiety and develop new ways of responding to grief related thoughts and memories.

Creative Counselling can be particularly helpful for children or for individuals who find it difficult to express emotions through words alone. Creative approaches such as drawing, storytelling, and symbolic expression allow feelings to be explored in a safe and supportive way.

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) combines gentle tapping on acupressure points with focused awareness on thoughts and emotions. This technique can help reduce emotional intensity, support nervous system regulation and promote a greater sense of calm.

Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT) works with the way memories and emotional responses are stored in the mind. Through specific eye movement processes, IEMT can help reduce the emotional impact of distressing memories and support positive emotional change.

Grief is unique to each person and therapy can be tailored to suit individual needs. Using a combination of approaches can provide meaningful support for emotional healing, resilience and personal growth.

Sessions are available in person in Havant or online. Phiona works with children, adults, couples and groups, offering a compassionate and supportive space for people to explore their experiences and move towards healing and wellbeing.

You might feel like you are constantly chasing time. Watching the clock, counting the days, feeling pressure to keep up, yet never quite arriving where you hoped to be.

Many people I work with describe a quiet exhaustion. Not always physical, but emotional. A sense of being disconnected from themselves, from the present moment, and from what truly matters. Life becomes measured in deadlines, appointments, and responsibilities, rather than in moments of warmth, rest, connection, or meaning.

Perhaps you notice it in the way you rush through your day. Or how difficult it feels to slow down without guilt. You may find yourself thinking you should be doing more, achieving more, coping better. Over time, this can lead to feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or simply lost.

Therapy offers a space to step out of that cycle. A place where you are not being measured or judged, but heard and understood. Together, we can begin to explore what has been weighing on you, reconnect you with your own pace, and help you rediscover a way of living that feels more balanced and authentic.

You do not have to continue feeling this way on your own.

If any part of this resonates with you, you are welcome to reach out.
