Juliet Shield Hypnotherapy, London (2026)

11/01/2026

This morning and I went to the bank of the Thames for a personal ceremony of gratitude and appreciation.

If this sounds a bit woo woo, think on this; the flow of the river is a constant. Whatever we do or don’t do the water keeps on coming and going.

Great cities are often built on rivers. They are a city’s beating heart.

They have enabled the transport of goods and people over centuries. And commerce to flourish.

Today they are a magnet for tourists taking selfies against a backdrop of London’s famous monuments.

But a city’s river can also be a focus point for self introduction and appreciation.

And that’s what we did today.

This is why I do what I do….

A month before Christmas a new client came for a first session.

She had severe OCD which appeared to have been triggered by a traumatic event.

From her perspective now everything and everybody coming into the house from outside contaminated it. This included her own family.

Most of her time was spent cleaning and washing.

She was exhausted battling against what she knew rationally didn’t make sense. And the relationship with her husband and 2 teenage children was becoming strained.

Her GP had prescribed anti depressants, which seemed to make no difference.

————

At our second session two weeks later, she arrived much calmer. Her sleep had improved, the traumatic flashbacks and nightmares had ceased. And she had been out for an afternoon’s Christmas shopping.

She looked at me straight in the eye and said:

I’ve been deep inside this dark well. After our last session I looked up and saw a light shining down.

I now have hope. And that means everything.

Calling all mothers at Christmas....!

It really doesn't matter if

- the tree is not perfect
- the dinner is not perfect
- the presents are not perfect

It's the time of the year when a mother's guilt and insecurity rise to the top of the stress bucket.

Thoughts of

- not being a good enough mother or stepmother
- not being a good enough daughter
- not being a good enough wife

all converge around

- the tree
- presents
- the meal

But remember...

By far the greatest present to everyone in the family is your relaxed and happy presence. In the present.

And if there are howls of disappointment at whatever. Just. Let. Them.

We are all connected

To each other and every bit of living matter on this planet.

Into this mix energy fields form, attracting like minded forces and links.

Have you ever thought that bumping into someone you know is just an amazing coincidence? In a city like London with 10 million people?

When I was an unhappy young teenager at boarding school my solace was the library where I devoured books by Virginia Woolf. A Room of One's Own resonated in a place of little privacy.

With my first restaurant profits I bought an oil painting by Virginia's sister Vanessa Bell.

Later as a restaurant consultant, I was asked to work by chance at the Charleston Trust in Sussex when Vanessa had lived

I now live in Bloomsbury where Virginia and Vanessa lived. Using my Psychology degree to help others through hypnotherapy.

I didn't do any of this consciously. It's as though I was drawn to them (even if long since dead) magnetically and energetically.

There is so much going on beneath the surface of our conscious minds. It's where the powerhouse truly lies.

The process of hypnotherapy allow us to access this part of our mind. To honour the connections and associations that serve us.

And let go those which don't.

You don't have to do it all....alone

Being self sufficient and independent has a lot going for it. You don't need others for:

- reassurance
- support
- approval
- permission.

It can be hard if you're brought up to believe no one will help you. That you are a failure if you can't manage on your own.

And yet.....

As the sayings go:

- Stronger together
- A trouble shared is a trouble halved
- No one is meant to carry the world alone

In times of anxiety depression or illness, it's easy to think that you're the only one with problems. The reality is that everyone else is often thinking the same about themselves!

Simply a smile at someone passing on the street can transform their day and yours,

Today more than ever, there is support out there, to tap into, for almost anything. We are all connected on this planet in one form or another. And we are social beings by nature.

You are not alone.

This gets me every time…!

Maybe because of my restaurant background, or just a love affair with the Magimix when it first came out.

There is always that moment when you have to let go

- leave home
- leave that relationship
- change that job

It’s much easier and more comfortable to stay in the familiar. But just like

A ship is safe by the shore
But that’s not what it was made for

There’s so much more waiting for us out there in the realm of uncertainty.

Remember the exhilaration of that first bike ride, that first dive into the swimming pool. that first drive alone after passing your test.

All because you trusted yourself. And let go.

4 weeks ago I had just come out of Intensive Care

After open spinal surgery

Recovery time predicted: 2 months

But through daily self hypnosis
2 weeks ago I was back seeing clients.

It worked like this:

- Acceptance and surrender
- Visualisation of the healing process in small steps
- Journalling daily progress
+
- A strong dose of gratitude

There are now scientific studies which prove that hypnotherapy aids healing.

Through the strong connection between mind and body.

The only surprising thing is that it’s taken so long for this to be recognised!

Who’s in charge of your money?

You?
Your bank?
The Government?
or ..,
Your beliefs?

As children we’re like sponges. We soak up ideas about money, what it represents about ourselves and how we view others in relation to it.

You can test your beliefs by:

Thinking about a person who you know has a lot of money.

How do you feel about him/her? Is there any resentment, jealousy, or negativity of any kind? If so why?

And then, think about yourself having a large amount of money in the bank

How does that feel? Elation? Excitement? Relief? Or… Discomfort? Resistance?

Whether the feelings are negative or positive, they are attached to our beliefs.

So they can all be let go.

The empty space that’s left can then receive unshackled abundance of:

- Money
- Love
- Health and vitality

And no one needs to be in charge.

This has been my bed for 5 nights.

A remarkable surgeon removed a large benign tumour from a nerve in my spinal canal and the 6 month long excruciating sciatic pain was history.

What is also remarkable is that the predicted 8 day stay in hospital became 5. How?

I practised self hypnosis throughout:

- Before the procedure
- On wakening from the anaesthetic
- On an ongoing basis throughout the days of recovery

(Some of you who know me well may be pleased to know I repeated at my reflection in the mirror:
- You’re doing really well
- You should be very proud of yourself !)

I’d signed myself off for the recommended 3 weeks but now I think it will only be 2.

Till back to helping my clients.
