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,

✨ 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 ✨

Hello March, we’ve been waiting for you! 🌷

Winter can feel heavy for a lot of us. The darker days, the quiet struggles we don’t always speak about. But winter was never a season for pressure or expectation it was a season for rest, to go gently, just like nature does. During the winter months we gather strength beneath the surface whilst weathering the storms.

Just like the dragonfly here rising from the water, this is your reminder as we step into this new season with welcomed arms 🫶🏻 you can feel lighter and live brighter.

It’s your time now to rise. ✨

Every moment you allowed yourself to pause, to recharge, to simply be, it mattered. Truly listening to what your mind and body were asking for.

Now a new season begins, we too can begin again, as this gives us chance to release what no longer serves us, let go of what’s holding us back.

We can leave behind the heaviness.
We can take brave steps forward with lightness, intention, and a renewed positive energy for the months ahead.

This is a time for growth.
A time to trust your becoming.
A time to rise gently, but powerfully.

You are ready. 🦋 ✨

Things really can change for the better ✨

Struggling with your mental health can feel exhausting, isolating, and overwhelming. You might look like you’re coping on the outside but inside, it’s a different story.

You don’t have to keep pushing through alone.

Taking that first step can feel daunting I know…Every single person who walks through my door shows incredible courage and commitment, something that I acknowledge straight away.

Those two qualities are the strongest foundations for growth, positive change, and emotional wellness. They are what help you overcome the difficulties and struggles you’ve been carrying, they help you to engage with the therapeutic work, and feel the real benefits.

If nothing else has seemed to work… or you're struggling to find the right help for you, maybe you'd like a holistic approach to your health, then give yourself this opportunity.

Hypnotherapy could be the support that helps you break free from old patterns and embrace a happier, healthier future.

You don’t have to do this alone.
And you don’t have to stay stuck.

If you’ve been thinking about reaching out, let this be your sign.

💛

Your mental health and wellbeing matters and support is here when you’re ready.

I am able to support a wide range of mental health concerns, fears and phobias, habit change and more. If you're unsure whether hypnotherapy can help a specific concern you have, please just get in touch to explore.

More reviews can be found on my Facebook profile, Google profile and on my Website.

If you’re reading this and you’ve been thinking for some time… “I really should quit.” 🚭 Maybe this is the sign you needed 😀💭

You’ve probably told yourself:
• “I’ll stop after this pack.”
• “I’ll quit next month.”
• “I just need to be less stressed.”

But deep down, you’re tired.

Tired of the coughing.
Tired of feeling controlled by a habit.
Tired of the expense.
Tired of worrying about your health.
Tired of va**ng or smoking being the first and last thing you think about each day.

And maybe you’re also tired of trying to quit the hard way.

Here’s the truth: stopping doesn’t have to be a battle of willpower.

As a local hypnotherapist, I help people gently and effectively break free from smoking and va**ng- without shame, without pressure, and without anything scary or controlling.

Hypnotherapy is simply a relaxed, focused state where we work with your subconscious mind - the part of you that created the habit in the first place.

You remain aware and in control the entire time. You can’t be made to do anything you don’t want to do. There’s no stage tricks, no loss of control just a calm, comfortable process designed to help you create the positive change you already want.

Most of my clients say the same thing afterwards:
“I wish I’d done this sooner.”

Imagine:
✔ Waking up without reaching for a v**e or cigarette
✔ Breathing more easily
✔ Feeling proud of yourself
✔ Saving money
✔ Living free from cravings and that constant internal tug-of-war

This isn’t about fear.
It’s about freedom.

Freedom from the physical symptoms.
Freedom from the restraints of addiction.
Freedom to live a healthier, happier life.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign — this is it.

You don’t have to do it alone, and you don’t have to suffer through it.

Message me today to book your appointment and take the first step toward becoming smoke-free and v**e-free for good.

Your future self will thank you. 🙏🏻

Anxiety can feel overwhelming, exhausting and at times completely in control of your life.

Receiving reviews like these following my clients therapy reminds me exactly why I do this and how honoured I feel when they choose to work with me 💛

Seeing someone move from feeling anxious, afraid and stuck to feeling lighter, calmer, more confident and genuinely free is incredibly meaningful and rewarding.

If anxiety is holding you back, please know that change is possible. You don’t have to keep managing it alone. And you can and will feel better.

Please feel welcomed to privately message me for a confidential chat about how solution focused hypnotherapy could help you too.

You can find more of my client reviews on my Facebook profile, my Google profile and on my website.
