Hypnotherapy for Change

Helping you to make the changes that you want to make to live your best life!

Hello there,
My name is Michelle Wakerell and I am a qualified, registered and accredited Counsellor, Psychotherapist and Clinical Hypnotherapist. Perhaps the greatest battle we face in life is the one within ourselves, however we can win that battle......a life beyond the limitations of fear and self doubt. I have come to understand over the years that we all have amazing potential and untapped resources within us to make the changes we want. All we need is an open mind, willingness to learn and the courage to try new ways of thinking and behaving. I am blessed to be able to both live and work from my beautiful wee “off-grid” cottage on the side of a mountain in the stunning West Highlands of Scotland. Because of this, I am able to offer therapy that is as flexible as I am, and as unique as you are. Your therapy will either be from my cottage, or out amongst the beauty that surrounds us, or a combination of the both. Alternatively you may prefer to work from the comfort of your own home online with me - many clients find this more convenient as they do not have to consider the cost or time involved in travelling - this has allowed me to work with clients from around the world. You really can live a healthier and happier life............

Interrupt your anxious thinking……..

It can be hard to think clearly when you feel anxious.
Sometimes anxious thinking can make us believe negative thoughts that are untrue or make us do things that make our anxiety worse.
It can be helpful to break or interrupt your anxious thoughts so that you are able to think clearly and react appropriately to your thoughts.

* Sing a silly song about your anxiety to an upbeat tempo (ie Happy Birthday), or speak your anxieties in a funny voice.
* Choose a nice thought to focus on instead of your anxiety. This could be a person you love, your happy place, or even something you look forward to doing.
* Listen to music or read a book.

Be conscious when you shift your attention from your anxiety to a task at hand, and notice how the anxiety dissipates and how much better you feel.

Change can be easier than you think ❤️

It really is okay to put yourself first.

Setting boundaries and asking for help are signs of your strength, not your weakness.

Your mental health and physical health are as equally important.

Look after both ❤️

It’s a beautiful day here on the mountainside ❤️

Most relationships undergo pressure at some point, whether through general stress, money concerns, lack of communication, children, infidelity, jealousy or through the many other insecurities which we are all inevitably prone to in our day and age.

The pressures of everyday living are formidable and balancing a healthy private and work based life can lead to all kinds of tensions which damage relationships.

Hypnotherapy can be used to change thinking patterns, behaviours and outcomes.
• It can help to deal with negative emotions
• Improve communications
• Recapture those feelings of love and romance
• Build stronger relationships and build towards a brighter future

It can help you find a new level of understanding of one another - and of happiness and enjoyment in your relationship.

Today is World Kindness Day.......this is celebrated annually on 13th November.

On this day, participants attempt to make the world a better place by celebrating and promoting good deeds and pledging acts of kindness, either as individuals or as organisations.

I have a better idea - why can we not just be kind every day........a smile, our time and love cost nothing, however they can make all the difference ❤️

We are social beings and our health and wellbeing is crucial to having regular social interactions with others.

Without this we can easily fall into a negative cycle of low mood - feeling and thinking - and that can consequently create further avoidance of contact with other people.
This then causes us greater isolation and deterioration in both our mental and physical health.

It may then be that we look for ways outside of ourselves of coping - and thus alcohol and drugs can go on to become potential problems.

Be kind to you.....and reach out to those you know to be alone.

Sometimes just knowing that we matter and are valued can make all the difference and may be all it takes for us to start the healing journey ❤️

Autumn.......

My favourite season - a time of beauty as the autumn leaves change to brilliant shades of orange, yellow, rust and red before falling to the ground.

The shedding of the old in preparation for the
"stillness and rest" of Winter, before new beginnings in Spring.

Natures reminder to us all that life is about change and transition ❤️

We all struggle with stress at sometime in some way.

In fact, healthy levels of stress can help move us forwards - but sometimes it can make us feel overwhelmed as though we cannot do anything at all.

Using the "Stress Bucket" can help us to think about ways that we can release stress and stop our bucket from overflowing.

As we are all unique individuals - everyone's bucket will be a different size with a different capacity.

How's your bucket doing?

Checking your bucket often and regularly will enable you to feel less overwhelmed and more in control ❤️
