🌿✨ Introducing Walk & Talk Therapy ✨🌿

I’m so pleased to share a new way of working with me -
Welcome to Walk & Talk Therapy 😊

As a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist, I help teenagers and adults suffering with anxiety related issues feel back in control, experience calm and build their self confidence to live happier and healthier lives.

My sessions are a combination of Positive Psychotherapy and Hypnosis. With Walk & Talk Therapy, we take the Positive Psychotherapy outdoors, incorporating gentle movement and mindfulness in nature. You will be provided with a relaxation track (hypnosis) to listen to in the comfort of your own home to support and enhance the work we do together in and between sessions.

Walking in nature has so many benefits for both our physical and mental health. My Walk & Talk sessions can offer you therapeutic support with the calming, restorative benefits of the natural environment.

Walking helps us to:

🌳 Reduce stress and anxiety
🥾Relieve overwhelm & avoid burnout
🌿 Boost mood and energy levels
💤 Improve sleep drive & quality
🧠 Improve focus, attention & memory
🫁 Strengthen the immune system
💭 Enhance creativity & problem solving abilities
❤️‍🩹 Improve heart health & quality of life
☺️ Feel more grounded & connected

Before Walk & Talk Therapy can commence, an initial consultation is required. This can take place either in person at Skipton Therapy & Wellbeing or online via video call - whatever suits you best. Walk & Talk sessions will then take place in the beautiful local area around Skipton.

If this sounds like something that might suit you, I’d love to hear from you. I offer a free discovery call, so please feel welcomed to message me to arrange this so you can learn more.

Please do share this post - help this to reach someone who might be looking for support.

Thank you so much 🙏🏻

Best wishes,

Hello local community 👋🏻 I am pleased to announce I will be opening up spaces to work with some new clients in April. 🌼

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety, stuck in unhelpful habits, suffering with your sleep or held back by a fear or phobia, you’re not alone and things can change positively for you.

I support teenagers and adults to feel happier and calmer with a renewed sense of confidence and control to create positive change in their lives. My therapeutic approach is Solution Focused Hypnotherapy - a gentle and effective blend of talking therapy and hypnosis.

It’s a positive, holistic and practical approach that focuses on your preferred future, tailored to your own unique experiences and without the need for to relive, analyse or expose you to the past or traumatic events.

As we move into spring, a season that feels like a welcomed fresh start and new beginnings, you might be noticing a shift within yourself too.

Perhaps you’ve been carrying something for a while and are now feeling ready to explore it and make a positive change.

As a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist, I support teenagers and adults to create positive change in their lives.

Whether it’s stress and anxiety, low mood/low confidence, difficulties with sleep or maybe you’ve got a habit you’d like to break or a fear/phobia you’d like to address.

I guide you to move forward in a way that feels achievable and manageable. And just to note that for phobia work, there is no direct exposure necessary in my solution focused approach.

Together we focus on where you want to be and how you’d like to feel rather than where you’ve been. We work in a positive forward focused way without having to revisit, relive or analyse ourselves and past experiences.

I am pleased to say that I have some spaces become available to take on some new clients from April. I offer a calm, supportive space to help you create meaningful positive change in your life to live happier and healthier.

Appointments are available face to face in Skipton at Skipton Therapy & Wellbeing.

For more information you can visit my website www.libellehypnotherapy.co.uk

If this feels like the right time for you, please feel welcomed to get in touch to find out more.

Best wishes

Everything begins within our imagination. 💭

The place where patterns are first formed and, importantly, where they can be changed.

In hypnotherapy, visualisation gives you a way to gently rehearse new responses, creating different emotional and behavioural pathways instead of repeating the same unhelpful cycles that may be keeping you stuck, holding you back, and making your world feel smaller.

Because these patterns are held in the subconscious mind, simply “thinking differently” isn’t always enough.

Traditional therapies work with the conscious mind only, which can help to a certain degree of course.

With solution focused hypnotherapy you get the best of both worlds. A type of talking therapy complemented with hypnosis.

This means we work with both the conscious and subconscious minds. We bring them together in focus with what you wish to achieve, so that you can get the very best out of yourself.

With guided relaxation and imagery, we can access that deeper level of the subconscious where our problems stem from. We can work with old associations, and begin to reframe them over time.

What you repeatedly experience in the mind, the subconscious accepts as familiar, and strengthens this pathway in the brain. What is repeated in the mind becomes our default.

This is why we can begin to make any positive change you are seeking feel more natural and automatic over time. This is why I give you a recording to listen to consistently between your sessions.

Through neuroplasticity, positive change becomes automatic and long lasting.

Clients say to me "I wish I'd have started this sooner".

Would you like to experience this?

Please feel welcomed to reach out. I am always happy to answer any questions 😊

Pause with me for 30 seconds 🙏🏻🤍
Let your breath slow, your shoulders drop and your mind quieten.

Save this for when you need a moment to pause and reset.

I recently bought a stroller for my adopted dog, Bella. She has luxating patellas in her knees, which means walking can become painful for her.

Now, if I focused only on that problem, Bella’s world and mine could become very small. We might avoid walks altogether, or push through the uncomfortable.

Instead, I found a solution.

The stroller means Bella can still enjoy all the wonderful places and longer walks that enhance her quality of life. She walks to the best of her ability first, and when her knees have had enough, the stroller becomes an aid so we can keep going.

It’s not a substitute for walking.

It’s simply a support that helps us move forward.

Of course, not everyone understands.

I’ve received comments like:

“How lazy is your dog?”

“Dogs are meant to be walked.”

But those comments don’t frustrate or upset me. Because the people saying them are seeing a snapshot, not the whole story. They don’t see the thought, care, and love behind the decision. They don’t know the reason.

And that’s okay.

It reminds me how often perception and reality can be very different.

We see this a lot with anxiety too. When someone is feeling anxious, the mind can start to predict the worst possible outcome. It can make situations feel bigger, scarier, or more certain to go wrong than they actually are. The perception becomes that something bad will happen… when in reality, that prediction often isn’t true.

And when those thoughts take over, our world can start to become smaller as we try to avoid those uncomfortable feelings.

This is why solution focused hypnotherapy focuses on moving forward rather than staying stuck in the problem.

Instead of constantly analysing what’s wrong, we look for solutions.

Small steps that help someone move forward. Tools that make the journey easier. Ways of thinking or acting that help them keep going, to live happier.

To someone else, those solutions might not make sense. They may invite judgement, criticism or misunderstanding.

But the truth is:

You know what will make the difference.

I’m here to guide you to recognise what that is.

And your solution doesn’t have to make sense to anyone else!

I often reflect on the clients I’ve had the privilege to help from the very start when I was training to the clients I see now as a fully qualified therapist running my own practice.

I am so grateful to all who choose to work with me, place their trust in the process, and take the time to share such kind feedback after therapy.

Your reviews truly mean the world to me. ✨

By sharing your experiences, you also help others find the courage to take that first step towards support for their own mental health and wellbeing.

If you’ve worked with me and feel comfortable sharing your experience, I would be so appreciative if youd be so kind to leave a review.

Your feedback not only means a great deal to me, it most importantly helps others feel confident enough to reach out and access the support they deserve. 🩵

With heartfelt thanks,
Steph x

✨ Why does anxiety make it feel like danger is everywhere?

It’s not because you’re broken.
It’s because your brain is doing its job.

Your Reticular Activating System (RAS) acts as a filter — highlighting whatever it believes is important.

If you’re feeling anxious, your brain can start scanning for:
• Threat
• Mistakes
• Rejection
• Worst-case scenarios

And the more it scans for them… the more it finds.

But here’s the hopeful part:

Your brain also responds to what you intentionally focus on.

When you begin asking:
✔️ What did I handle well today?
✔️ What small wins did I have?
✔️ What shows me I’m safe right now?

You start gently training your brain to notice safety, progress and capability.

That’s how change begins.
Not by “thinking positive” but by redirecting attention.

If this resonated, follow for more simple neuroscience + solution focused strategies to calm anxiety and retrain the brain 🧠✨

You don’t have to be local to work with me 💛

I offer Solution Focused Hypnotherapy online, and it’s just as effective as in-person sessions. So if you’re not based in Skipton, or if coming to face-to-face appointments feels overwhelming right now, that doesn’t have to be a barrier to getting support.

Therapy from the comfort of your own space can feel safer, calmer, and more accessible - while still creating powerful, positive change.

If you’ve been putting off reaching out because of distance or anxiety about attending in person, this is your reminder: help is available, wherever you are ✨
