Insomnia, Sleep Issues , Misophonia
Client referral posted today ,
" Great, and effective hypnotherapist. Stuarts techniques really work and will change you're life for the better.
Hi my name is Neil. I came across Stuart Downing when I found myself seeking out hypnotherapy to treat problems I was having with my sleep due to living next door to previous neighbours who were very noisy and whom had kept me awake. Thankfully, after a couple of months, the neighbours had moved on, but unfortunately as a result, I developed an anxiety about getting to sleep, which in turn lead to me developing an insomnia which was caused by the anxiety. I had also developed Misophonia as a result, and had become hypersensitive to certain noises, such as any bangs or thuds. Even though the neighbours had left, my anxiety still persisted, which only caused me even more anxiety as I couldnt understand why I just couldnt relax as I knew the neighbours were no longer there. It got too the point where the anxiety around my sleep was so bad, that it really started to have a profound effect on my life. I felt I couldnt enjoy life anymore, I just wasnt happy. I had felt like I had lost the ability to relax, as a result it really started to effect my relationships with my family as I just wasnt me anymore, so to speak. Thats when I knew I had to do something as I felt it was destroying my life. I researched hypnotherapy. I was curious as to how it worked, and researched whether or not it would be beneficial for the issues that I was going through. I sought out a few hypnotherapists, thats when I came across Stuart Downing. I did my research on him, and discovered that he could treat issues around sleep/anxiety. I read his reviews, which were all positive. I booked a consultation with Stuart, who was very friendly and reassuring and explained how hypnotherapy worked and the methods he was going to deploy in helping to heal me. In the consultation, Stuart told me that I would only require three to four sessions at the most, which I was surprised about to be honest, as I felt so afflicted by my issues. What can I say? Well, after just one session, I already noticed a vast improvement in my sleep quality. I was sleeping longer and deeper, and waking up totally refreshed. Over the last few weeks of the sessions , my sleep and anxiety has just got better and better. I feel much less anxious, and lot more relaxed, like a weight has been lifted. I am so glad that I decided to invest in the sessions with Stuart, and would recommend it to anyone who is considering hypnotherapy. Stuart helped me learn that a lot of fear is irrational and totally unnessacary, and that I can rationalise with myself that I do not need to feel that fear. I have also learnt extremely effective relaxation techniques, which have really helped me. I f I ever experience any difficulties in the future, I will be sure to utilise these techniques. So, if you have any issue that is effecting you to the point where it is having a profound effect on you're life, then I would highly recommend that you book yourself a consultation with Stuart Downing, it can and will change you're life!

We all feel lost and unmotivated at some point in our lives. Life coaches aren’t some elusive, omnipotent beings that have the ultimate knowledge. We are professionals that listen intently to your current situation and help you conceptualise how you could become more satisfied with your life.
There are many ways that I can work with people, and it’s all on an individualistic basis. Some people literally have one thing in mind, they want to stop smoking or stop a certain behaviour. Others have become lost in a life absent of any long-term aims or goals, simply seeking new purpose and meaning in their lives.
A life coach should work on an individualistic basis. Everyone requires a different approach.
Redefining your life purpose.
What are you working towards?
What are your long-term goals?
What is your life purpose?
A life coach will go beyond listening to just the content of what you are saying, but what you actually want to convey. This helps redefine and reinforce your purpose and keeps you motivated to work towards your goal and develop a clear vision.
What do you want? Where do you want to go? Where do you see yourself in ten years?
Challenging your limitations and thought patterns by asking the right questions to evoke new levels of thinking, bringing to your attention different perspectives (the bigger picture) and allowing you to conceptualise your future.
Developing a clear vision for your future is vital to anyone who is looking for the ability to take control of their life, their surroundings and provide the best for themselves and their loved ones.
Recognising your unconscious motives
Why is it you do what you do? What are the motives behind your behaviour? Have you got hidden intentions?
The simple answer is that it’s the habits you’ve instilled into your daily routine through repetitive action over long periods of time. The absolute truth is that, we only have theories and concepts of how the mind works, and there are many different perceptions of your motives.
Positive outsider influence
It has many advantages, access to education and having a clear structure within society allows us to function with minimal amounts of stress and anxiety. There is another side to the coin. Could this somehow cause us to become reliant on someone (or something) holding us accountable; a parent, a teacher and later a manager or boss?
An outside influence that is working in the interests of your growth and development, holding you accountable for your actions and ensuring you are working towards your goals. It can be priceless.

Confidence coaching
Fear of failure can cripple your dreams and lead you into a life void of success. It ranks as the number one reason why people don’t fulfil their dreams and goals, preventing us from fully using our abilities, taking risks, building self-confidence and reaching our full potential. It is often what prevents us from ending a bad relationship, quitting a job we don’t enjoy, or even taking up a new hobby that would bring joy into our lives.
How can coaching help you overcome the fear of failure and gain self-confidence?
A qualified life coach can help you beat the fear of failure for good and reach the level of self-confidence you need to ace your goals and cope healthily and constructively when you don’t get precisely the results you envisioned. Yes, you will still experience shortcomings – the whole point is to learn instead of allowing them to break your confidence.
Here are the main ways how coaching can be of help:
Coaching can help you identify the root cause
To overcome the fear of failure, you first have to understand your underlying issues. There is a reason why you feel this way and didn’t manage to become a self-assured adult. There is likely a situation or an experience from your past that led to a malfunctioning pattern of approaching new opportunities.
Perhaps your parents have always expected great things from you, and you don’t want to let them down. Maybe your boss has been giving you praise for your work recently, and now all those words are swirling around in your head. Perhaps your upbringing determined you to derive your self-worth from external validation.
Whatever it may be, the chances are that your anxiety won’t go away until you identify what’s truly behind it. A qualified life coach will take the time to help you figure out by yourself what impacted your self-confidence from your early years up to this day.
Coaching can help you redefine failure
Who hasn’t failed at something and then felt paralysing fear about doing it again? We often hear of individuals who will never try a specific activity ever again because they’ve already failed at it once. But coaching can help you look at your failure in a new way and give you the tools to begin making a change for the better.
In general, failure is looked on as a negative thing, but you can learn how to use it as an opportunity for growth through coaching. So many former gifted children base their confidence on their ability to succeed at everything on the first try. It’s essential to recognise the possibility of failure instead of denying it and avoiding the situation altogether, and a good life coach can help with this.
Coaching can help you build real, immutable self-confidence
Self-confidence is the recognition of our worth as a person, which should be independent of the outside world. To be self-confident means feeling positive about yourself and your own decision-making, especially when you’re facing challenges or setbacks.
People with high self-confidence don’t hesitate to try new things because they feel sure about their abilities, regardless of the result. A truly self-confident person can’t be brought down by failure but will instead view it as an opportunity.
Your coach isn’t going to force you into anything or judge you for any reason— they will guide and coach you toward self-improvement by helping you find the strength you need in yourself.
The bottom line
The higher the self-confidence, the lower the fear of failure. If you are looking to change your life for the best and feel like your fear of failure is holding you back from achieving those dreams and reaching your full potential, make sure that you contact a professional life coach. Don’t allow this crippling fear to haunt you anymore, let yourself be the one in control.

Life Crisis Coach
As humans, we often go through hard times in our lives, the current situation around Covid has challenged us all . We struggle with our relationships, with work, battle substance misuse, overcoming losses, and a thousand other things that can turn our lives upside down. When we are struggling with one area of our life it can impact all the areas. Everything in our life is connected.
Life Crisis coaching will help you get back on track with your life. To help you overcome the obstacles you are facing by arming you with the knowledge and skills to rebuild and heal. We all come across life’s challenges and often we are left without the ability to know where we need to go next. You can feel frustrated, hopeless, and trapped. If your usual skills are not working, and things are not getting better a life crisis coach can help.
Crisis coaching will help you create a path to move forward. I will help you build strategies to help you overcome the difficulties you are facing and provide you with the tools and skills to get back on the path of success and health.
Difference Between Crisis Coaching and Therapy
There is a lot of overlap between a life crisis coach and therapists but there also some key differences. Therapists are like mental health surgeons they run the ER and can complete emergency complex surgeries. Coaches have first aid kits and can provide rehabilitation exercises. Life coaching can aid in helping with more minor injuries or ones that are not completely debilitating or life-threatening. Individuals that are still able to move through life despite their injuries are perfect for coaching. Sometimes coaches and therapists can work in tandem providing you with comprehensive health and well-being plan.
Therapists often provide more long-term care that focuses on diagnoses or past trauma. Often therapy is focused on the past and uses analysis and introspective techniques to work through painful experiences. They work with the clients on problematic beliefs, behaviours, relationships and sometimes physical responses to help them create a more stable and happier future.
Life crisis coaches come and walk beside their clients, they provide them with information, brainstorm and examine potential decisions and directions. They provide their clients with the tools and space to clarify goals and identify obstacles to create an action plan to achieve their desired results. Coaching focuses on the present and works to create a better future for their clients. They are action-based and help their clients to take control of their lives and steer their ship towards their goals.
Life Crisis Coaches do not diagnose the clients they work with while a therapist determines the pathologies so they can be clinically treated. Therapists will help to examine the past to explain the present while life coaches identify the problems areas so clients can work to modify them. A therapist focuses on “why” certain behaviours occur while a coach works on “how” they can move towards certain goals. Both coaches and therapists can be key to your health and well-being.
The biggest life crisis
What is considered a life crisis? Many different forms, events and experiences can result in a life crisis. Each person is also different in how an event can impact them which can determine if it is a crisis or not. We may experience a bunch of smaller ones that pile up resulting in overwhelm and an inability to cope or we may have a big life crisis that has the same effect. We are all influenced differently, and we need people to help us get through them.
There are several areas of our life that a crisis can occur, in our relationships with friends, family and our partner, business, and mental and physical health. Together, we will break these different life crises’ down and move you forward and through the other side

ANTHONY HOPKINS
′′ Let go the people who are not prepared to love you. This is the hardest thing you will have to do in your life and it will also be the most important thing. Stop having hard conversations with people who don't want to change.
Stop showing up for people who are not interested in your presence. I know your gut is to do everything to earn the appreciation of those around you, but it's a boost that steals your time, energy, mental and physical health.

When you begin to fight for a life with joy, interest and commitment, not everyone will be ready to follow you in this place. This doesn't mean you need to change what you are, it means you should let go the people who aren't ready to accompany you.

If you are excluded, insulted, forgotten or ignored by the people you give your time to, you don't do a favor by continuing to offer your energy and your life. The truth is you are not for everyone and not everyone is for you.

That's what makes it so special when you find people you have friendship or love with. You will know how precious it is because you experienced what is not.

The more time you spend trying to make you love for someone you can't, the more time you spend depriving yourself of the possibility of this connection with someone else.

There are billions of people on this planet and many of them will meet you, at your level of interest and commitment.
The more you stay involved with people who use you as a pillow, a background option or a therapist for emotional healing, the longer you walk away from the community you want.

Maybe if you stop showing up, you won't be wanted. Maybe if you stop trying, the relationship will end. Maybe if you stop texting your phone will stay dark for weeks
That doesn't mean you ruined the relationship, it means the only thing holding back was the energy only you gave to keep it.

This is not love, it's attachment. It's wanting to give a chance to those who don't deserve it You deserve a lot, there are people who shouldn't be in your life, you'll realize.

The most valuable thing you have in your life is your time and energy as both are limited. When you give your time and energy, you define your existence.

When you realize this you begin to understand why you are so anxious when you spend time with people, in activities, places or situations that don't suit you and shouldn't be around you, you get stolen in energy.

You will begin to realize that the most important thing you can do for yourself and everyone around you is to protect your energy more viciously than anything else.
Make your life a safe haven, in which only ′′ compatible ′′ people are allowed with you.

You are not responsible for saving anyone You are not responsible for convincing them to improve. It's not your work to exist for people and give your life to them!

Because if you feel bad, if you feel obligated, you will be the root of all your problems by your insistence, fearing that you will not be returned the favours you have given. It is your only obligation to realize that you are the master of your destiny and accept the love you think you deserve.

Decide that you deserve true friendship, commitment." true and complete love with healthy and prosperous people. Then wait and see how much everything starts to change and it will change, that's for sure, with positive people and good energy, don't waste time with people who aren't worth it, change will give you the love, the esteem, happiness and the protection you deserve.
