Just like the seasons, we’re meant to grow and transform. 🍂
When you’re ready to let go of old patterns and step into something new, beautiful things can happen.

I support my clients to make the changes they desire, feeling calmer, more confident and in control of their lives again.

🪄 What stories have you been telling yourself lately? 📖

Are you peddling around in a cycle of telling yourself how hard life is? How you have no energy? Feel anxious? Constantly rushing from one thing to the next?

The stories you tell yourself shape your world around you. Your thoughts influence your behaviours and your interactions which then influence the behaviours and interactions of those around you.

Is it time to flip your internal script to one that works FOR you? Helping you feel energised, motivated and capable of handling responsibilities with ease?

Shift your mind, shift into happiness.

Want to know how? Ask me 🙂

This isn’t the Friday I had planned for.

I planned a lovely day of clients and some quality admin time in the office. Last night, I’d made myself a packed lunch and put snacks with it and was feeling rather smug about how organised and “on it” I was…
So waking in the night feeling really poorly wasn’t on my plan, neither was clearing my entire diary when I realised after eating breakfast that I hadn’t dodged whatever lurgey it is after all.

Thank you to all my fantastic clients who have each happily rescheduled. I’ll be snuggling with the dog for the rest of today and I’ll still find at least 10 good things at the end of the day. 😊

Sharing this list I found AGES ago, as no one needs to see a picture of me looking an interesting shade of grey/green 😄

I recently started sessions with Sarah to help with relaxation and mindset. Already the exercises are helping me. In addition, Sarah’s explanation of how the mind works has been so clear and clarified so many questions.

“I can’t do this anymore. I’ve had enough.”

Maybe you’ve said those words yourself, in your head, or out loud when no-one was listening.

That moment you realise you absolutely cannot keep carrying the weight of old stories: the resentment, the hurt, the self-doubt that drag you down day after day.

Because here’s the truth… holding on to those old patterns doesn’t just make you feel low. It shows up everywhere in your life!

💔 At work, it damages relationships with colleagues, makes you second-guess yourself, and can even cause you to miss out on opportunities or promotions.

💔 At home, it strains your personal relationships, chips away at your confidence, and leaves you constantly on edge with the people you love and them on edge with you too.

💔 With friends, it creates distance, because being stuck in the negative lens makes every conversation harder.

💔 And inside, the constant “what if it goes wrong?” soundtrack leaves you exhausted, anxious, and feeling like the Negative Nellie that no-one wants to talk to in every room.

❤️‍🩹 It doesn’t have to be this way.

You can let go.

You can stop replaying the same old pain and start remembering the times you’ve been strong, the successes you have achieved, the challenges you’ve already overcome. Those memories are proof of who you really are…resilient, capable, and more powerful than you realise. 🥲

Bringing them into your present isn’t just a “nice idea.” It’s the essential shift that frees you to create a lighter, brighter, more confident future.

If you’re ready, I can help you make that shift now.

This is your moment. Don’t keep putting it off. You deserve more than just surviving, you deserve to thrive! ✨

Don’t wait for breaking point! You can choose this shift today. Reach out using the link in the comments, let’s chat, no pressure, just support. ❤️‍🩹
With love, Sarah

I’m back in my happy therapy space! ☀️

The diary is OPEN! 📖

Holidays at home are great, a chance to step back, rest and reset…even hypnotherapists need a holiday now and then. 🙂

Today began with a new client foundation session and now it’s time for catching up on emails and bookings before 2 discovery calls and another client session later today. ✨

Now is a great time to reach out if it’s been on your mind to do so.

DM me or use the links in the comments to get in touch 📞

Anxiety: worry and stress related to events that have not yet occurred.

Our brains are PREDICTION machines: Sometimes it’s based on events from the past “if that happened that time, then maybe I could happen again!” and sometimes it’s the fear of the unknown. The “what if?”s and “but THAT might happen”.

But just because something happened in the past, it does NOT mean it will happen again. However we often find ourselves using our wonderful imaginations to rehearse future events going wrong.

What if we all played with imagining things going well a bit more often? When you begin to do this, what difference does that make for you? 😉

💭 “Just be yourself…”
🙄 Easier said than done, right?

When you’ve spent years (or decades) second-guessing yourself, overthinking everything, and moulding yourself to fit the expectations of others…the idea of “just being yourself” can feel confusing, unsafe, or even laughable.

But here’s the truth:
✨ The real you isn’t too much.
✨ You’re not broken.
✨ You don’t need fixing…just freeing.

If you’re done feeling like you have to water yourself down to be accepted, I can help.

💜 If this hits home, go check out my previous post; There’s an exciting opportunity for a free coaching call and it could be just the spark you need.

Calling all women who are holding it together at work, despairing on the commute, then shutting down and snapping at home.

If you’re stuck in a spiral of overthinking, shame, and second-guessing every decision…

If you’re tired of masking, overachieving, and still feeling like you’re not enough…

And if you’re ready to start trusting yourself, feeling confident in your relationships, and creating a life that actually feels good… this is for you...

✨I’m running a limited number of free 1:1 sessions for high-functioning women, especially those who suspect they may be neurodivergent, who are ready for something to shift.

These sessions are for you if you’re craving space to breathe, talk it through with someone who gets it, and walk away with practical steps and a clearer vision of what your life could look like on the other side of all this.

You might resonate with this if:

🧠 you’re neurodivergent or suspect you may be
🤦🏻‍♀️ you find friendships difficult to maintain
🤷‍♀️ you second guess yourself
😔 you’ve spent your life trying to fit in and feeling you never quite get there
🤯 you find it difficult to switch off the constant stream of self-doubt and to do lists.
💕 you want better friendships and relationships
❤️ you're ready- so ready to make changes to lead you to a more joyful experience in your day today

Who I am:�
I’m Sarah - an award-winning hypnotherapist and coach with thousands of clinical hours. But more than that, I’ve lived this.
I was where you are now: overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, doubting myself in work, relationships, parenting - all of it.�

I thought I was broken.�I wasn’t.
And neither are you.

Today, I help women, including those navigating late identified neurodivergence, to move from overthinking and shame to ease, self-trust and confidence.

What I’m offering:�
A free 1:1 call where I’ll help you:�

✨ Clarify what a more joyful, connected life would actually look like for you�
✨ Map out the first simple steps to move from where you are now, to where you want to be

There’s no sales pitch. No pressure. Just one-to-one time and support from someone who gets it.

If this speaks to you, comment below or send me a DM with the word ME and I’ll be in touch. 💕

I’d love to hear your story. And I’d be honoured to support you.

✨ Just because you’re doing something… doesn’t mean it’s the right something. ✨

After 5 years on Duolingo, I quit.
Not because I stopped loving my dream of going to Norway, but because I realised the habit wasn’t actually getting me any closer to it.

Sometimes we’re so busy “doing the thing” that we don’t stop to ask:

Is this really helping?

If you’ve been stuck in the loop of "busy-but-not-progressing" with your wellbeing, confidence, relationships, or goals, it might be time to reassess.

It’s not failure. It’s wisdom.

And if you’re ready to stop going through the motions and start creating real, meaningful change, let’s talk.
