Sometimes the most important part of therapy is simply knowing there is one place in the week where you can be fully yourself, without judgement.
That sense of safety can change everything.

Recently a client shared something that really touched me.

She told me she’d been talking to someone about therapy and said,
“No matter how anxious I am feeling, I know that when I’m in Hannah’s therapy room I will feel safe. I can talk about how I’m feeling, I’ll be heard, and I’ll leave feeling like everything is going to be ok.”

I felt very moved hearing that.

Because therapy isn’t about me having clever words or quick fixes.
It’s about creating a space where someone can just be...

Be sad
Be angry
Be disappointed
Be frustrated
Be fed up
Be lost
Be confused

Be joyful
Be full of hope
Be thankful
Be curious
Be calm
Be safe

Be themselves

Be however they are feeling

A space where they don’t have to pretend they’re coping.
Where their feelings make sense in the context of their life.

When we feel safe enough to be honest, something shifts.
Anxiety softens. Thoughts untangle. Choices become clearer.

Having that steady place each week can help people face the rest of their life with a more strength, calm, and more self-trust.

If you’re someone who carries a lot quietly, please know there is space for you too.
You don’t have to hold everything alone.

The impact of early experiences can stay with us, quietly in the background of adult life.

Many struggles we face later on can be linked to times in childhood when our emotions were dismissed, our voices weren’t heard, or our needs went unseen.

When grief, fear, pain, or loss aren’t given space to be understood, they can shape our relationships, our thoughts, and the choices we make. Sometimes we find ourselves repeating old patterns that once helped us cope, but no longer feel right for who we are now.

Healing becomes possible when those younger parts of us are met with compassion, understanding, and a chance to be heard.
In a safe, steady therapeutic space, those old stories can begin to soften.

There’s a tree in my garden that has been covered in pink blossom all through February. It really stands out next to the bare branches of the other trees and shrubs

Each time I see it, I feel a little warmer.
A little more hopeful.
Like sunnier days and blue skies aren’t too far away.

It’s such a small thing, but it’s been quietly cheering me up this month.

Just a little reminder that winter doesn’t last forever

Warm wishes,
Hannah 🌸

Starting therapy can feel like a very big step.

Many people tell me how nervous they felt before their first session. Wondering what to say. Worrying about crying. Feeling unsure whether their problems are “big enough”.
Sitting opposite someone you haven’t met before, trying to put into words things you may never have shared.

That is incredibly brave. And it makes sense that it feels daunting. For some people, even reaching out can feel like a hurdle they can hardly imagine overcoming.

Being vulnerable is not easy, especially if you’ve spent years coping quietly or trying to get things right on your own.

Therapy is different from talking with friends or family. It is a space where you can speak slowly, at your own pace. Where nothing is too small or too complicated. Where you don’t have to protect anyone else’s feelings.
It can feel exposing at first.

But many people also feel relief.
Relief at being heard.
Relief at not having to pretend.
Relief at not carrying things alone.

If you’ve ever thought about therapy but felt unsure, that hesitation makes sense. It’s a step into something new.

But choosing to understand yourself, and allowing yourself to be supported, is a very courageous thing to do.

Tomorrow, I’m learning to crochet. I’m excited, and also a little nervous.

As a child I attempted knitting a few times, but because I’m left-handed, I never quite found someone who could teach me in a way that worked for me. So I decided it probably wasn’t for me.

Now I’m giving crocheting a go and then I will probably try knitting again once I have mastered crochet.

I can already feel my inner critic getting involved.

What if I can’t do it?
What if I don’t understand the instructions?
What if I’m the one who struggles?

It’s interesting how quickly those old doubts pop up.

Learning new skills is good for our brains, building new connections and keeping us curious.

But emotionally, it brings us face to face with our relationship with “getting things right”.

I hear this so often from clients. Fear of getting it wrong or being judged. Of not being good enough.

So I’m choosing to practise something different.

Being patient, kind and okay with not knowing how to do it yet.

I am very excited about choosing wool in my favourite colours.

If there’s something you’ve been wanting to try but have been holding back, this is your gentle encouragement.

There is no timeline for making sense of loss.
You’re allowed to heal at your pace.

There can be pressure to “move on”.

From loss.
From trauma.
From difficult chapters.

As though staying affected means you’re stuck.

But often, it means you’re still processing.
Still making sense.
Still learning how to live with what happened.

That’s not weakness.
That’s courage.

Healing isn’t about rushing forward.

It’s about being supported while you find your footing again.

Sometimes the changes people make in therapy aren’t loud or dramatic. They’re quiet and show up in small ways at first.

Feeling a little calmer in situations that used to feel overwhelming.
Being kinder to themselves.
Noticing their own needs.
Speaking more honestly.
Letting themselves feel, instead of pushing everything down.

Recently, a client shared that they felt better than they had in a very long time, and that friends and family had noticed a change in them.

Change happens by creating a space where people can slowly begin to understand themselves, and feel what they’ve had to carry.

If you’ve ever wondered whether things could feel different for you too, you’re not alone in that.

And you’re very welcome to get in touch, if and when it feels right.

Many people tell themselves they should be coping better by now.

That if they were stronger, more positive, or more disciplined, they wouldn’t feel this way anymore.

But struggling is not a character flaw.

It’s often a sign that something was overwhelming.
Something wasn’t safe.
Something was too much to hold alone.

If you’re still finding things hard, it doesn’t mean you’re weak.

It means you’re human.

And you deserve support, not self-criticism.

Exciting News

After two years of training, study, clinical practice, supervision, and a lot of personal reflection and counselling along the way, I’m very happy to share that I am now qualified as a counsellor.

Alongside my work as a hypnotherapist, I’m offering counselling sessions for adults and young people aged 18+, supporting people with anxiety, low mood, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, and feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

My approach remains the same as it has always been: warm, collaborative, trauma-informed, and paced around what feels right for you. Some people choose hypnotherapy, some choose counselling, and many benefit from a combination of both. We decide together what feels most supportive.

I’m currently accepting new counselling clients, alongside continuing to offer hypnotherapy.

I work from:
• Blackawton, near Totnes
• The Devon Clinic, Paignton (currently fully booked)
• Online

If you, or someone you know, feel that counselling or hypnotherapy might be helpful, you’re very welcome to get in touch. I offer a free 20-minute initial consultation.

Warm wishes,
Hannah 💛

Dear Sisters,

Let this year be the one in which you realise that your trauma responses are not an illness. They are not a disorder of the mind. They don’t mean you’re ’wired up differently’. They don’t mean a lifetime of pills or therapies.

Let 2026 be the year that you validate your feelings, express your voice, understand your triggers and your experiences - and commit to loving yourself no matter what. Let 2026 be the year that you reject all labels, discard pathologisation, and recognise that you are not defined by a diagnosis. You will not live your life confined by a list of symptoms and medications.

Let 2026 be the year that you connect the dots between everything that happened to you, what someone did to you, your environment, your upbringing, your family culture and the systems that let you down. Let this year be the one that you see the patterns; and learn how to take back control of your life.

You are not ill. You are not mental. You are not disordered. You are not broken, or hysterical, or psychotic or delusional.

You are a whole human being - and what happened to you matters.

Raise a glass to the person you are today - no matter how hard that feels - because you have survived SO much. Validate and respect yourself for pushing through another year, even if it felt like walking on glass. You are so much more capable than you realise.

2026 is the year you let go of every judgement, narrative, victim blaming and pathologisation of you. Cast it aside. That isn’t you. That’s them. Those are constructs someone else placed on you - so they didn’t have to help, support or love you through something difficult.

2026 is the year of validating yourself and your experiences. You have that power.

Happy New Year. All my love,
Dr Jessica Taylor

It is love that heals trauma. Love, and time, and patience, and a willingness to lean into the painful and contracted and lonely places inside.
