Healthy eating isn’t just about willpower—it’s about mindset. When we change how we think about food, we naturally make better choices without feeling deprived.

✨ Try this simple shift: Instead of saying "I can't have that", say "I choose not to have that and to be healthy." This small change helps you feel empowered rather than restricted.

Hypnotherapy can help rewire old habits, rid yourself of cravings, and make healthy eating feel effortless. If you're ready to create lasting change, check out my reviews (https://shorturl.at/bKkTn) and DM me for more information.

Do you dread speaking up in meetings, delivering presentations, or being asked to “say a few words”?

You’re not alone - fear of public speaking is one of the most common (and limiting) anxieties in professional life. And it’s not just about nerves. For many, this fear is deep rooted in early experiences - being laughed at in class, feeling ignored at home, or being thrust into the spotlight before you felt ready.

As a hypnotherapist and coach, I work with people to gently explore and rewire the subconscious patterns that provoke the ‘fight-flight-freeze’ response, to install calm and confidence around public speaking.

But even if you’re not using hypnotherapy, there are practical steps you can take to reduce the fear and speak with more confidence.

Imposter syndrome really sucks the pleasure out of work and life and leaves people with a persistent low level anxiety that’s really draining. I meet so many brilliant, talented professionals who just find it so hard to believe in themselves and enjoy their successes.

A really fast, effective way to tackle imposter syndrome is through hypnotherapy. We clear out the root cause of whatever’s driving the feelings of inadequacy and work with the subconscious mind to reprogramme a more empowering, positive inner voice. Helping people rid themselves of imposter syndrome and embrace their full potential has to be one of the most rewarding aspects of my practice.

If you are fed up with suffering from imposter syndrome, visit my website https://clearskies-hypnotherapy.com/imposter-syndrome/ or DM me for more information.

What if nothing in your life needs to change - except how you see it?

That’s the power of reframing.

When life feels overwhelming - whether it’s work stress, family tension, self-doubt, or just that “stuck” feeling - it’s easy to think the answer is a big external change.
A new job. A new plan. A new version of you.

But sometimes, the most powerful shift happens when you reframe the situation in your mindset.

✨ A tough day becomes proof of what you can handle.
✨ Procrastination becomes a sign that you need clarity - not guilt.
✨ Nerves before a big moment? That’s your body preparing you to rise to it.

Reframing isn’t toxic positivity. It’s emotional flexibility. It’s a way of looking again, with kinder, clearer eyes.

🧠 Want to try it for yourself?
I’ve written a short blog on how reframing works and how to start using it today.

Read it here 👉 https://clearskies-hypnotherapy.com/reframing-for-resilience/

Hypnotherapy can help you achieve a positive mindset and make radical changes quickly. DM me or visit my website (https://clearskies-hypnotherapy.com) for more info.

📸 Snapped this in the window of my GP surgery while waiting with my daughter. A quiet reminder, but a powerful one:

✨ It’s okay to make mistakes
✨ It’s okay to have hard days
✨ It’s okay not to know it all
✨ It’s okay to ask for help
✨ It’s okay to need more time
✨ It’s okay to start over
✨ It’s okay to be yourself

In high-performing, high-pressure environments, like so many of the clients I support, statements like these often go unspoken. But they’re foundational to long-term resilience.

💬 If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or exhausted from always having to hold it all together, hypnotherapy can help.

🌀 One session. A tailored recording. Real change.

Sam came to me with a number of unhealthy eating patterns she just couldn’t break free from no matter what she tried. She would eat everything in front of her, then go back for more, she would snack compulsively on whatever was available and she had a sweet tooth...

I caught up with a client I saw 3 weeks ago for insomnia. Clara had had the double whammy of not being able to get off to sleep, and then when she finally did, she’d wake up again at 3am and that would be it. 3 weeks after her hypnotherapy session with me, Clara bounced onto our call telling me everything had changed. She had been sleeping consistently 7-8 hours a night for the last fortnight, was waking refreshed and experiencing a massive boost in her general wellbeing and feelings of calm and confidence.

Hypnotherapy can create positive changes, rapidly, by dealing with what’s underlying the issue and then rewiring your thought patterns (e.g. away from ‘I’m never going to get to sleep!’ to a calmer, more empowering inner voice).

If you’re struggling with sleep or other issues and want to try a fast, effective, natural solution, take a look at my (https://clearskies-hypnotherapy.com) or DM me for a free consultation.

Sometimes, the roots of anxiety or low confidence go back further than we expect. In my latest blog, I share the story of a client who discovered that some difficult moments from childhood were still shaping how she felt day to day - until she used hypnotherapy to reconnect with and heal that part of herself.

Through regression, parts work, and a personalised visualisation, she found calm, confidence, and lasting change.

Racing thoughts, a tight chest, a sense of dread… anxiety can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to stay stuck in the cycle.

🧘‍♀️ Try this:
When anxious thoughts take over, shift your focus to your senses. Try the "5-4-3-2-1" grounding technique:
👀 Name 5 things you can see
👂 Listen for 4 sounds around you
🤲 Touch 3 objects near you
👃 Notice 2 scents
👅 Identify 1 taste

This simple practice helps bring you back to the present moment, easing anxious feelings.

Hypnotherapy can help break the cycle of anxiety by rewiring unhelpful thought patterns and restoring a sense of control. Find out more here: [https://clearskies-hypnotherapy.com] or get in touch to book a session.

🌟 "Usually if I travel to London I always fancy a latte and a pastry - but no! No urge, no impulses pulling me towards a cafe - nothing. I even had some chocolate bars for my son in my bag and I literally couldn’t care less about them. All day I drank water happily, even mid afternoon when normally I’d be having a sweet snack. Standing in the coffee shop - no interest to buy or even see the cakes. My son even offered me some of his and I just didn’t fancy it - it was so amazing. I can’t believe how much I’ve changed after just one session. Thank you Sarah this is life changing!” Janet

💙 Hearing feedback like this is why I do what I do! Hypnotherapy is a powerful way to rid yourself of cravings and unhelpful eating patterns and the cycle of weight loss/regain and guilt. If you’re struggling with emotional eating, just know that change is possible - and fast.

📩 DM me to chat about how I can help you rid yourself of emotional eating and lose weight.
