Our minds are naturally wired to look for what might go wrong. That is not a personality flaw, it is an ancient survival system doing its job a bit too well in modern life.

I have written a new blog about how hypnotherapy gently retrains the mind, and how one small reflective exercise recently helped shift my own mindset in a way I did not expect. (Referring here to the exercise we did in supervision last week Caroline Parsons Solution Focused Hypnotherapy!)

If you have been hard on yourself lately, this might be a kinder way to look at things.

Hypnotherapy is not about fixing a broken mind but retraining a normal one. Learn how the primitive mind works and how gentle mindset shifts can support wellbeing.

Seemed like a good time to reintroduce myself!

I’m Ellie, a hypnotherapist and psychotherapist based in North Cornwall at , and online. I work with people who are outwardly coping but inwardly anxious, tense or worn down.

I actually came to hypnotherapy myself through chronic shoulder pain, and it opened up a whole new way of coping with stress and anxiety. It not only eased my physical tension, but gave me new levels of confidence and self-belief.

I’m still (and always will be!) a work in progress, but definitely find myself with stronger boundaries, clearer priorities and more true self-awareness than I had before.

That experience shapes how I work: calm, practical and focused on understanding how your mind and nervous system actually function, rather than trying to push through or fix yourself.

I try and share things on here that reflect that ethos. Some of it will be useful, some of it might not be - you are welcome to cherry pick what helps, and leave the rest ✨☀️⭐️

A new year does not require a reinvention.

That small question “what do I need?” is not a goal or a resolution. It’s a practice. One that can be returned to again and again, especially when things feel uncertain or tender.

You don’t need to have answers yet, and you don’t need a plan. Just a little honesty, self-compassion, and the willingness to check in with yourself as you go.

However 2026 begins for you, you are already enough. Wishing you well xx

January is often quite noisy with invitations to “start fresh.” This year, I’m over forcing a new version of myself into existence.

Instead of pushing myself to be “more” or “better,” I’m practicing stepping back from that inner supervisor and noticing what actually nourishes me.

A short walk, a pause before responding, celebrating small wins - these tiny resets are enough to shift how we feel, gently and meaningfully. Change doesn’t need to be loud; it comes from places of care, curiosity, and attention.

This month, I’m focusing on the small, loving habits that truly make life feel good. What would it feel like to let care, not pressure, guide your next step?

Signing off for the year and officially handing my brain a little holiday. ✨

Wishing you all some calm, cozy, indulgent moments before January rolls around.

My final blog of the year is up – a gentle look back and some ideas for easing into the new year without the pressure.

You can do hard things and still be gentle with yourself.

This time of year can feel like a strange mix of cosy lights and tired minds, with a lot of people telling me they feel pulled in two directions. One part wants to savour the season. Another part is quietly running on empty and wondering when the pause will come 😅

So here is your gentle reminder that slowing down is not laziness or failure. It is care. It is protection. It is wisdom. You do not have to earn rest.

In my latest blog I talk about why so many of us feel this push and pull in December, and how to give yourself real permission to step back before burnout arrives.

So grateful for these words. Good sleep changes everything, and it is something you absolutely deserve. If you are running on empty, waking through the night, or just not getting the rest you need, there is support. You don’t have to keep pushing through tiredness on your own.

If better sleep is on your mind, you are welcome to book a free 15 minute Discovery Call to chat about how hypnotherapy could help you too.

I was chatting to a friend this week and she gently pointed out that my own stress bucket was looking a bit… full.
And honestly, she was right.

She asked me the simplest question:
What’s one thing you could take off your plate today, or one thing you could do just for you?
Ridiculously simple. Unbelievably helpful.

It made me laugh because hypnotherapy has a direct influence on the stress bucket - I talk about this all the time. And yet, I somehow forgot to apply it to myself.

So here’s your tiny reminder too: you’re allowed to let something go, and you’re allowed to choose something that fills you back up.
