✨ Someone turned ONE! 🎉🐾
And in true Louis style, he celebrated by getting as close to the camera as possible.

And like most young dogs, he’s learning through repetition, over and over again.

Sit.
Wait.
Leave it.
Come back.

Not once, but every day.
Through consistency, tiny wins add up, and new habits settle into his nervous system.

It struck me recently how similar this is to the work we do in therapy.

Human brains also learn through repetition:
✨ practising calmer responses
✨ taking small positive actions
✨ revisiting helpful thoughts
✨ rehearsing new habits

We don’t “think better” once and expect it to stick.
We gently repeat the new pattern until it becomes familiar.

Hi, I’m Jo 👋
At this time of year many people see me because stress builds, past memories feel heavier, and winter amplifies emotional pressure.

In my Bath, Hilperton and online clinics, I help clients reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and reconnect with a sense of ease, especially during this busy season.

Together, we focus on strengths, solution-focused action and the small shifts that change how daily life feels.

If you’re thinking of starting therapy before January, you’re welcome to get in touch. I have a few spaces left!

Imagine entering the new year with a calmer mid!
Not needing to carry stress into January or wait for a resolution to start feeling better.

This season can be a turning point:
❄️ letting go of old patterns
✨ creating emotional space
👍 choosing steadiness over strain

Hypnotherapy supports the brain in building healthier habits (sleep, confidence, motivation, and emotional balance).

You can begin now, and step into the new year differently.

Ending the year feeling overwhelmed?
This season often brings pressure to “be on form” when, in truth, many are tired.

Winter naturally slows us down, but our schedules don’t always follow.
Deadlines, family expectations, events, and emotional reminders can leave the mind overstimulated and wired.

Hypnotherapy helps your nervous system settle so you can rest, reset, and move forward without that heavy emotional load.

You’re allowed to slow down this season.

I’m Jo, a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist & Psychotherapist and EMDR practitioner working with adults, children and teens across Bath, Hilperton (Wiltshire), and online.

I offer sessions from:
🏡 My cosy therapy cabin in Hilperton
🏥 My Bath clinic on the High Street
💻 Online, for flexible and accessible support

My work brings together two powerful, gentle approaches:

✨ Solution Focused Hypnotherapy

A calming, neuroscience-based therapy that reduces overwhelm, lifts mood, improves clarity, and helps you move towards the future you want.
It’s deeply relaxing and helps the brain shift out of stress and into balance.

✨ EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing)

A highly effective therapy for processing past experiences that still feel “stuck.”
It supports the brain to file old memories safely, reducing emotional intensity and helping you feel lighter, safer and more in control.

These approaches can help with:

• Anxiety & stress
• Trauma & emotional triggers
• Overthinking & intrusive thoughts
• Sleep difficulties
• Phobias & fears
• Anger & emotional regulation
• Low confidence & self-esteem
• Exam stress, school anxiety & emotional overwhelm (children & teens)
• Feeling “on edge” or “not like yourself”

I create a calm, supportive space for people of all ages to decompress, feel heard, and gently move forward at their own pace.

Imagine stepping into the holiday season with steadiness rather than exhaustion.
Many clients tell me they just want to feel calm, grounded, and able to enjoy December, not simply survive it.

Solution-focused hypnotherapy and EMDR help to regulate the emotional brain, reduce overwhelm, and rebuild a sense of safety and control.
When your thinking brain is back in the lead, everything feels more manageable.

You deserve moments of peace during this busy time of year.

Are you already feeling the end-of-year squeeze, even though December has barely begun?

It’s so common.
Work deadlines stack up, family and school logistics increase, emotions rise, and suddenly you’re trying to keep everything running while feeling overstretched yourself.

When the brain is constantly anticipating what’s next, it activates the stress response, leaving you wired, tense, or struggling to switch off.

It’s not a lack of resilience.
It’s your nervous system asking for space to breathe.

If this feels familiar, you’re not alone, and support is available.

If darker mornings make it harder to get going, you’re not alone.
At this time of year, our brains produce more melatonin and less serotonin, which can leave us feeling slower, heavier, and less motivated, even when nothing is “wrong”.

A gentle 2-minute reset can help your nervous system shift into a calmer, more focused state:

✨ Sit comfortably and place your feet on the floor
✨ Take a slow breath in… and an even slower breath out
✨ Notice one sound in the room
✨ Notice one colour around you
✨ Notice one sensation in your body

Tiny anchors like this help bring your mind back in to focus, especially during winter.

Ready to Break Free From Smoking or Va**ng?

If you’ve been thinking about stopping smoking or va**ng, you’ve probably already noticed one thing:

Your mind is the biggest part of the habit.

Hypnotherapy works by helping the subconscious disconnect cravings from triggers, so the part of you that wants to stop finally becomes stronger than the part that reaches for the next cigarette or v**e.

Clients often notice:
🌬️ Reduced cravings
🌬️ Less irritability
🌬️ Stronger motivation
🌬️ More control around triggers
🌬️ A renewed sense of self-belief

Contact me to book your smoking/va**ng cessation session.

✨ The Christmas season has officially begun✨

Visiting the Bath Christmas Market this week felt like that magical switch into festive mode. The lights, the music, the sparkle. It’s always my reminder that the run-up to Christmas can be joyful and overwhelming in equal measure.

At this time of year, many people notice their anxiety rising: more to do, more people to see, less time to rest.
And this is where Solution Focused Hypnotherapy and EMDR can make a real difference.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy helps quieten the stress response, calm the busy mind, and bring you back into a more resourceful, balanced state. By focusing on what’s working and building small, manageable steps, clients often notice they cope better, sleep better, and feel more grounded during the festive rush.

EMDR is powerful for releasing the emotional charge behind stress, past triggers, or that sense of being “on edge.” It helps the brain process what feels overwhelming so you can move through December feeling lighter, steadier, and far less reactive.

And while I’m soaking up the festive atmosphere, and performing up in Sheffield this week too, I’m still here supporting you through this busy season.

If you’d like to book some time just for you before Christmas, contact me.
I work with adults, children and teens in person and online.

A new year doesn’t need pressure, just a moment to pause and choose the direction you want to grow.

As 2026 arrives, many people feel a natural pull toward clarity, balance, and a fresh start.
Not with harsh resolutions, but with supportive intentions, calmer routines, and a clearer mindset for the year ahead.

January is a wonderful time to give yourself space to reflect on what you truly need:

• emotional steadiness
• reduced stress or overwhelm
• confidence for the year ahead
• healthier habits around sleep, thinking, or wellbeing
• a softer, more compassionate inner voice

Hypnotherapy and EMDR can help you create those changes gently and sustainably, one step at a time.
Many clients use the start of the year to set goals, reset their nervous system, and build a calmer foundation for the months ahead.

If you’d like January to feel lighter, clearer, and more intentional, now is a lovely time to book your sessions for the new year.
