It's a powerful question, and one I often ask clients. If your answer isn’t at least an 8, you might be in the right place for some therapeutic or coaching support.

Tonight, I worked with a client who started at a 3 and has already moved up to a 7. Even better, her anxiety and depression levels have dropped significantly, which is a huge win.

Some clients experience this kind of progress quickly; for others, it takes more time. But the goal isn’t about speed—it’s about creating lasting change and shifting your perspective in a way that sticks.

If you feel like you're not at least an 8, chances are we can work together to help you feel better about yourself through therapy or coaching.

It's also important to remember that the way you see yourself is often far harsher than how others see you. Your friends probably rate you much higher than you would. So, if others don’t see your fears and insecurities, why should you?

You deserve to feel as confident as the version of you that others already see. And if you're ready to explore that possibility, I’d love to chat and see how I can help.

Does your interview technique need attention? If you're not getting the results you want, maybe some mindset help could be the difference that makes the difference for you.

Help is at hand! I've been helping people present themselves at interview for over 25 years now. It's my mastermind subject having been a recruiter, employer and now, coach and therapist. I love to get feedback like this.

Many people practice their interview answers diligently but what do you do if your nerves get in the way and you never get to use them?

Navigating interview scenarios can be challenging. It's crucial to master the art of showcasing your strengths effectively. This is where interview coaching and mindset support play a pivotal role.

If you find yourself struggling to sell your qualities and could benefit from an 'interview MOT' please get in touch. Don't stay stuck if you don't have to be

This is a superb interview with my Quest Cognitive Hypnotherapy tutor and founder Trevor Silvester. It's such a great introduction to the magic of our approach. A great watch or listen. I hadn't come across Tim Gray (Tim the Biohacker) before but definitely one to follow too. He trained with Quest too and it's a beautiful thing seeing his pleasure in recognising the beauty of Trevor's talent with words (aka wordweaving).

🎙️ Exploring Mental Health, Longevity and Health Span: A Resource Recommendation

📚 This week, I'm excited to share a podcast episode and a book that caught my attention. The book "Outlive" by Peter Attia, titled "The Science & Art & Longevity," has piqued my interest. While I haven't delved into its pages yet, it's on my list. I stumbled upon Peter Attia on a podcast, and there's a particularly impactful segment where he delves into his personal journey with mental health challenges. https://uk-podcasts.co.uk/podcast/steven-bartlett-the-diary-of-a-ceo/the-life-extension-doctor-the-one-thing-that-s-inc

🤝 What intrigues me about Attia's approach is his focus on not just longevity but also on 'health span' – living well within the years we have. His insights go beyond the expected health advice encompassing diet, exercise, and sleep. He allocates a significant section to mental well-being, a topic that resonates with many, including myself and the majority of my clients.

📱 During the podcast, Attia shared a therapeutic technique he used: recording himself speaking kindly to himself, as he would to a friend, into his mobile phone. This exercise was a daily ritual for him recommended by his therapist at the time. He described replacing harsh self-criticism with compassionate self-talk. Instead of his usual anger outbursts during archery practice he would stop and talk kindly to himself "Hey, I see you're having a tough day with your shooting. It's alright, we all have off days. The wind isn't helping either. Let's take a break and try again tomorrow." Through consistent practice, the nurturing voice overpowered the critical one, and in merely four months, the relentless critic had disappeared.

🧠 This story underscores the plasticity of our minds and their capacity for change. As a therapist, I cherish those initial sessions with clients, knowing the potential for transforming self-criticism into constructive energy.

🤗 Attia's sentiment of wishing he'd encountered this wisdom at 25 echoes a sentiment many share. It's never too late, though, to embark on a journey of self-improvement and emotional well-being. Regardless of your age, consider investing in your mental health. And remember, a healthier mindset isn't just for you; it ripples through the lives of those around you.

💡 If this resonates, take a step towards personal transformation through therapy. If you're curious or ready to embark, don't hesitate to get in touch.

Dr. Attia graduated from the Stanford University School of Medicine in 2001, and until 2006 he was a surgical resident at Johns Hopkins Hospital.

I often talk to clients about this - could be just the thing a lot of us need at the moment

“Confidence, not thinness or firmness, is the key to looking and feeling beautiful.”. Amen to body acceptance.

Observe your critical voice to put distance between it and you – and remember that the most attractive women are those who carry themselves with pride

This is great - a walk every day is better than an unused gym membership

When it comes to creating habits, most people focus on intensity rather than consistency. This is particularly the case at the start of the year.

Starting something in a random week in November is a time where expectations are low. There is no pressure to create any big life changes. What this means is that you can focus on really small actions and make them consistent.

Whatever you want to do, I'll be helping you along on your journey. Add my page to your favourites so you can get these little boosts of knowledge and motivation in your feed and use your scrolling time for good.

Happy New Year ! Wishing you all the best for a healthy and happy 2023.

To kick off the year, this is an excellent article to inspire you about making the most of yourself this year.

Stress can have negative connotations and it's also an early warning system that can serve us well. We could think of it too as a way of giving us a healthy challenge which is good thing that feeds us if we don't let it overwhelm us.

I hope reading this gives you sustainable ideas that would feed your growth this year. As many people are saying today about goal-setting, it doesn't mean having to set yourself targets that feel onerous.

How about committing to something that moves your life forward in the easiest way you can imagine. Something that brings you joy. Something that your future self would thank you for. I would love to hear what that means for you.

Research indicates that low-level stress from moderate exercise or work can enhance our cognitive and physical abilities in later life
