Inspiring change by using psychotherapy and hypnotherapy

When life feels overwhelming, it’s often because our brain is trying to solve everything at once.

Worry is the mind’s problem-solving system doing its job. But when we focus on things we can’t actually change, the brain stays stuck in a stress loop — high alert, no resolution. Over time, this keeps the nervous system switched on and exhausted.

That’s why I often use the Circles of Control with clients.

It helps separate:
• what we can’t control
• what we can influence
• what we can directly control
If everything feels a bit out of control right now, this can really help 🤍

When we’re worrying, our brain is trying to protect us by solving problems. The trouble is, it often latches onto things we can’t change — and that’s when we feel stuck, tense and overwhelmed.

Try this simple exercise:

• Write down the main thing that’s been worrying you
• Notice what you can’t control (other people, outcomes, the past)
• Then what you can influence
• And finally, what you can control — your actions, choices, routines, how you care for yourself

Even one small thing in that inner circle can help your nervous system settle and bring a sense of steadiness back.

Your brain can only handle so much at once.

Too many demands pulling at your energy can overload your nervous system, making it trip or even burn out.

Instead of trying to do it all, reset one plug at a time. Even small steps give your system space to rest, recover, and work more efficiently.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy helps you build on what’s already working and your existing strengths, so you can reduce what’s pulling on your emotional energy — gently, one step at a time.

Take a breath. Start small. You’re already stronger than you think. 💛

You don’t have to carry everything just because you can.

The brain is brilliant at adapting.

But long-term emotional load keeps your nervous system in low-level stress, even when life looks ‘fine’ on the outside.

Over time, that weight shows up as anxiety, overwhelm, fatigue, or physical tension. Coping is not the same as healing.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can help calm your nervous system, reduce mental load, and create change — without reliving the past.

You’re allowed to put something down. You don’t need to be stronger, you don’t need to try harder. You just don’t need to carry it around anymore.

Your brain isn’t being dramatic.
It’s doing its job.

The brain is wired to spot risk first. Around 70% of our thoughts are linked to safety and problem-solving.
So when there’s no clear answer, it keeps looping… trying again and again.

That’s not you failing to switch off.
That’s a nervous system asking for calm.

Once the body feels safe, the brain no longer needs to repeat the same thought.
And clarity comes without forcing it.

This is why we calm first in hypnotherapy.
Because a calm brain solves better.

Ever notice how you reach for your phone in every tiny pause? Whilst waiting for something or someone. Whilst watching TV. First thing in the morning or just as you get into bed?

The brain isn’t built for that level of input.
When it’s constantly fed new info, it stays in alert mode.
That keeps the nervous system switched on and emotions closer to the surface.

Research shows when stimulation drops, the brain can settle within minutes.
Less noise = more clarity. More space = better emotional control.

You don’t need a full digital detox.
Even short screen breaks or one calming habit can lower stress and improve focus by around 20%.

In hypnotherapy, we help the mind shift from overload into calm and presence.
That’s when people feel grounded again — and life feels easier to handle.

Pause. Breathe. Let your mind land.

The end of the year can leave many of us feeling drained, even if we’ve “kept up appearances” all along.

Burnout doesn’t appear overnight; it builds quietly when the nervous system is constantly alert. The interesting thing is, the brain is designed to adapt, and small, deliberate changes can have a bigger impact than you might expect.

Think about one tiny step you could take today to give your nervous system a reset. It might be a short walk, a pause for reflection, or simply noticing tension in your body and releasing it. Over time, these small moments add up to a calmer, more energised you. 💛

Curious how to personalise this approach for your own life? My free initial consultation is a chance to explore strategies that fit you, your rhythm, and your nervous system. Not a generic plan.

Many people are now navigating life after weight loss jabs, learning how to maintain their healthy habits and stay in control without medical support.

While these treatments can help reset eating patterns short term, they don’t change the underlying neural pathways that drive our habits and relationship with food.

Through Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, we strengthen new, positive pathways in the brain helping you feel calm, confident and in control long term.

It’s not about restriction; it’s about rewiring the mind to support lasting change.

I was so touched to receive these beautiful flowers from a lovely client today as a thank you. 🌸

In many ways, they’re the perfect symbol of the work we do together — planting seeds of change, nurturing new ways of thinking, and watching confidence and calm grow week by week.
It’s always the client’s own effort that creates this growth, but being trusted to support them along the way is such a privilege. 💜

If you’ve been curious about hypnotherapy, this feedback might give you an insight into what’s possible. I also offer a free, no-obligation initial consultation so you can see if it feels right for you.

Stage hypnosis vs clinical hypnotherapy, there’s a huge difference!
When many people hear the word “hypnotherapy”, their first thought is often of stage shows, magicians, or swinging watches. Those performances are entertaining, but they’re very different from what happens in a therapeutic setting.
Clinical hypnotherapy is not about tricks, mind control, or manipulation. Instead, it’s a gentle, evidence based process that helps calm your nervous system, ease the fight or flight response and reconnect you with the calmer, wiser part of your mind. Through this process, you can build a more positive mindset, improve sleep, support healing, and make clearer, more confident decisions. I offer a free consultation to help you explore whether hypnotherapy is right for you.
Call today, let change begin.
