Clapham High Street. I’m back! 🏳️‍🌈

I’m so excited to announce the second of my three therapy clinics is based right in the heart of a quiet little leafy village you might have heard of…CLAPHAM. 🎉🥳

I’m so pleased to be back here. I’ve always been drawn to Clapham since I moved from Scotland at the age of 18, and it’ll always hold a special place in my heart. ❤️

Over the years I’ve worked here, lived here, loved here – and had some sad times here too.

It’s also where I first met someone who would turn out to be one of my biggest influences and one of my closest friends and confidants - the late, great

He was a big advocate for psychotherapy and spoke openly about seeing a therapist in his show:
“He’s called Martin, and I believe everyone needs a Martin.”

Oh, how I wish you were still here to see this, dear – this one is for you. ❤️

Clapham holds so many memories for me, and it only felt right to come back to where it all started. 🙌

Less than 5 minutes’ walk from Clapham Common or Clapham North Underground station, this location also offers parking! 🚂🚘

So if you are looking for a therapist in Clapham, or know someone looking for support with anxiety, depression, addiction, or confidence – I’m here!

I stopped saying should and I encourage all my clients to do the same

Here’s why I think you *could* too! 👇

“Should” is loaded with guilt, pressure, and judgment.

It triggers your brain’s stress response and makes change feel like punishment.
⠀
Swap “should” for “could”

and you instantly give your brain a choice.

That tiny shift engages your prefrontal cortex and starts rewiring your mind.
⠀
Try it today! It’s a game changer!

What’s one “should” you’re ready to turn into a “could”?

Your thoughts are yours to change!

And that’s one of the most freeing truths you’ll ever learn.

Every thought sends a signal through your body.

Negative thoughts flood you with stress chemicals that keep you on edge.

Positive, calm thoughts tell your nervous system: you’re safe.

One thought I’ve been practising on repeat is:

“I am safe.”

It sounds simple, but it shifts everything for me.

When I catch myself spiralling -worrying, replaying old fears - I pause, take a breath, and remind myself: I am safe.

My shoulders drop. My mind softens. My body hears me.

This is what I help my clients do too - break old thought loops, and choose better ones that feel true and calm the whole system.

Your mind believes what you tell it - so tell it something good today.

What’s one thought you’re choosing?

✨ Save this for later — or send it to someone who needs to hear they’re safe too.

🧠 Your brain is changing itself all the time — whether you realise it or not.

That’s neuroplasticity — your brain’s ability to build new pathways, break old ones, and adapt to new ways of thinking and feeling.

It used to be believed that once you hit 25, your brain stopped changing — locked in its old patterns forever.

But now, modern science tells us that’s simply not true. Neuroplasticity means your brain CAN keep rewiring into your 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond!

💭 Every thought you repeat, every habit you run on autopilot, every image you hold in your mind — it all strengthens connections between brain cells.

Repeat it enough times, and those connections become your default!

😬 Worry on repeat? Your brain gets better at worrying.

🧘‍♂️ Imagine calm, safety, solutions? You build stronger pathways for peace and confidence instead.

💡 This is why change is always possible — at any age.

꩜ Hypnosis helps you harness this!

By quieting the busy mind and focusing on what you *do* want, you give your brain the best chance to rewire — for calm, confidence, and clarity.

✨ Your brain is changing anyway — you get to choose how!

🌿 Save this if you ever doubt you can change — at any age.

🔴 Your stress hormone is on overdrive! And you’re paying for it! 🔴

Cortisol wakes you up, keeps you sharp, gets you moving. It’s good, in small doses.

But modern life cranks it up *constantly*.

And when cortisol stays too high, you feel it everywhere.

Signs you’re running on stress fuel:

😴 Problems sleeping
⚡️ Wired but exhausted
🍫 Constant craving for sugary snacks
📉 Weight gain you can’t shift
😷 Getting sick all the time
🧖‍♀️ Skin breakouts or flare-ups

The fix? Nothing fancy. It’s tiny daily habits:

✨ Get sunlight in the morning
✨ Practice breathing excerices
✨ Postive Journalling
✨ Walk instead of scroll
✨ Switch off screens before bed

Which one’s your biggest clue your stress is too high?
