Some of my conversations with my clients remind me that the festive season can be a difficult time. It’s not a joyful time for everyone. In fact, it can be the most emotionally challenging time of the year. A person might find themselves feeling triggered by a range of different things such as:

▫️Unhappy memories or past trauma
▫️Relationship breakdown
▫️Bereavement
▫️Loneliness
▫️Ongoing mental health struggles
▫️Strained relationships and difficulties within the family
▫️Financial worries

Some things that may help include:

💜 Identifying something that you are looking forward to that is not related to the festive period.
💜Planning some activities that will help to lift your mood so that you start to feel better within yourself.
💜Making time to engage in self-care and being kind to yourself. This is especially important if you’re feeling low or overwhelmed.
💜Trying to worry less about what other people think. It’s okay to put yourself first sometimes and do what feels right for you.
💜Asking for and seeking help and support when you need it. There are many charities, church and community organisations that provide support over the festive period.

If you’re having a hard time over the festive period and you’re finding it difficult to cope, I have appointment slots available except for 23 – 28 December, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. I use my skills in hypnotherapy, counselling and mindfulness to support my clients through difficult times in their lives. Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you need someone to talk to or you’re feeling anxious or stressed. This can be a challenging and stressful time so my door is open to clients old and new.

What can I do today (or tomorrow or this week) to show kindness to someone else? It’s an interesting question isn’t it and perhaps something you may not have considered before. Here’s the thing, when you do something for other people there are enormous benefits for you too. Showing kindness to others is often a great mood booster and it makes us feel better within ourselves. Our brain is flooded with lots of feel-good neurotransmitters, because as human beings our brains are designed to ensure we survive as a species by looking after each other.

Despite people’s differences, wars and division, there is still much kindness in the world. It can be easy to focus on negative news stories, so instead let’s acknowledge the small everyday acts of kindness that mean so much and spread some around too.🩷

There’s always something to worry about isn’t there? If you feel like you’re a born worrier then that will be your default mode of thinking.

It doesn’t have to be that way though. There are a range of ways in which you can learn to take control of your busy, anxious mind. I specialise in teaching and helping my clients to do that for themselves, so that they can free their minds of intrusive, worrying thoughts. Here are a few tips for you today:

✅ Talk to a supportive relative or friend. They might be able to help you see things from a different perspective. If that doesn't help, consider seeking support from a professional, registered therapist.

✅ In the moment of feeling highly anxious, connect to your breath. Get into a restful position and take a few deep breaths. Inhale deeply then exhale fully. Do this slowly and with the intention of calming your mind.

✅ Try meditation and relaxation. Learning to relax your body can help you to relax your mind too. I teach my clients how to meditate and relax.

✅ Keep a worry journal of your feelings. By writing them down you can get your thoughts out of your head and process your feelings.

✅ Learn to be present in the moment. Most of what we worry about exists in our minds and may never actually happen. I use mindfulness to help my clients become more present with themselves and this reduces anxiety.

✅ Practise acceptance. You cannot control everything and there will always be things beyond your realm of control. Let go of anything you cannot control.

In my professional work I use hypnotherapy and mindfulness techniques for a wide range of problems. Solution focused hypnotherapy is a talking therapy that includes hypnosis. It is heavily underpinned by neuroscience and advances in understanding about how the brain and the mind functions.

Over the past ten years I have worked with numerous clients to help them with various issues, particularly worry and anxiety, overwhelm, stress, low mood, and the physical and mental effects of these conditions.

Today is International Men's Day. Although I work primarlily with female clients, I am only too aware that men and boys struggle with their emotional and mental health too. The common problems facing men nowadays include depression, stress, suicidal ideation and addiction problems. Sadly, men are more likely to drink, gamble, smoke and use drugs as unhelpful ways of coping with their problems. Men are much less likely than women to seek support and talk about what is on their mind. Generally, they tend to suffer in silence until they reach crisis point.

Today is about raising awareness of men's health issues and recognising that men's physical and mental health matters too. The image below illustrates a wide range of charities that support men's health and that you can contact. 💚

It's International Men's Day tomorrow and there is plenty of information on our website - www.ukmensday.org.uk about how to get involved (just a simple message will do).

Please feel free to share images and this one below is perfect for supporting all those great charities in the UK making a difference day in day out to men and boys.

Plus of course, feel free to donate and signpost men to them!

Today, instead of an affirmation, I have a quote that sums up how I feel. Healing is a journey and it takes as long as it takes. However, this is not about me, it is about what I wish for each and every human being, a feeling of self-acceptance and self-belief. Imagine how joyful and liberating that could be! 🩷🌟

As a professional clinical hypnotherapist registered with the National Council for Hypnotherapy I am obliged to participate in a minimum of 15 hours of continuous professional development (CPD) each year. I take my work seriously so CPD is a worthwhile investment. I also really enjoy learning and updating my skills and qualifications. This enables me to provide you with a professional experience and a range of therapeutic techniques to help you with your problem and healing journey.

The weather was gloomy on Sunday so I was happy to spend the day engaging in CPD to deepen my understanding and use of NLP which complements my solution focused approach so well. Combining these therapeutic approaches enables me to empower my clients so that they can overcome self-limiting beliefs and unhelpful thought or behavioural patterns. 🌟

So many of us, and I include my former self in this, are muti-tasking to a degree which simply is not manageable or sustainable in the long term. We may feel that we have to do everything and please everyone else, but what about ourselves? If we neglect ourselves and try too hard to please or take care of everyone else; work, family, children, elderly relatives, our homes and so on then we can all too easily become irritable, frustrated, anxious, fed up, worn out and exhausted.

Asking for help may seem like a weakness because our culture still values a “stiff upper lip” approach to life which makes seeking help a difficult thing to do. Too many of us soldier on for far too long which can have adverse effects for both our physical and mental health. Sadly, I have seen this amongst some of my clients who have waited for too long before seeking support. There should be no shame or stigma attached to asking for help. You may have internalised messages from your family or other important people in your life who have made you feel this way, but you don’t have to hold on to those beliefs, which may longer serve you.

Let’s reframe this – asking for help is not a sign of weakness. In fact, it is a sign of personal insight and awareness. It is a sign of strength. 💪

🌟 How To Use My Affirmations 🌟

Positive affirmations are a useful self-help tool to help you reframe and change your way of thinking. I have been using them with clients since I started my work as a hypnotherapist ten years ago. You could write an affirmation down on your notebook or in your diary, you could take a screenshot of it and save it as a wallpaper on your phone, or you could write it on a Post-it and place it somewhere easily visible.

𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗺𝗲𝗱?

Overwhelmed by life, by your responsibilities, by pressures at work or at home, by your “things to do list,” or even by so many negative stories in the news.

Modern life involves many pressures on top of normal day to day activities and responsibilities. These can cause us to feel stressed and overwhelmed which can adversely affect both our physical and mental health in a range of different ways including insomnia, digestive problems, tension headaches, hair loss, weight management issues, chronic pain, irritability, and difficulty in concentration. Chronic stress can lead to more serious problems such as burn out, anxiety, low mood and depression.

If you’re experiencing feelings of overwhelm now is the time to listen to those feelings, give yourself permission to slow down, engage in some self-care and consider how you can make adjustments to your lifestyle so that you can prevent burn out.

As a solution focused hypnotherapist, I work with my clients to manage their symptoms and cope with feelings of overwhelm so that they can focus on what really matters to them. I enable my clients to identify their personal priorities and deal with the pressures of life by being calm and in control.

I use hypnotherapy and mindfulness techniques for a wide range of problems. Solution focused hypnotherapy is a talking therapy that includes hypnosis. It is heavily underpinned by neuroscience and advances in understanding about how the brain and the mind functions.

Over the past ten years I have worked with numerous clients to help them with various issues, particularly anxiety, overwhelm, stress, low mood, and the physical and mental effects of these conditions.

When looking for a clinical hypnotherapist please ensure that you choose someone who is professionally trained, fully qualified, DBS checked and registered with a nationally recognised organisation. I am pleased to inform you that I tick all those boxes.

An attitude of gratitude can help you to focus on the good things in life, improve your mood and help you to feel more emotionally resilient. You can cultivate happiness for yourself and improve your psychological health when you develop the habit of acknowledging and appreciating what has been good each day, not the just the big things but all the small things that have lifted your spirit. This may include anything at all. For example:

🌸 Receiving a smile or few kind words.
🌸 Appreciating someone you feel lucky to have in your life.
🌸 Acknowledging something that you like or love about yourself.
🌸 Having a laugh about something.
🌸 Time spent in nature.
🌸 Fun times with your family or friends.
🌸 Interacting with a pet.
🌸 Receiving a hug.
🌸 Engaging in a hobby or activity that you enjoy.
🌸 Someone extending a helping hand when you need it.

You may find it helpful to keep a gratitude journal and list whatever it is that you are grateful for at the end of each day, even if it is only one or two things.
Personally, I find that having a daily practice of gratitude keeps me grounded and focused on what really matters in life. With all the problems in the world I feel that I have so much to be grateful for. Is there anything that you are grateful for today? 🙏
