Embracing Change 🌟

Hey everyone, I want to share some thoughts on change. It might sound a bit unusual, but stick with me!

This week, I've found myself reflecting on change during the simplest moments—like cutting sandwiches for my youngest into squares, “when did I change this to rectangles for the older two”? When I was washing my youngest’s hair, “when did my older two choose to wash their own hair”?

It got me thinking about the little and big changes in my life, yes that’s how my brain can work…..reflecting on changes that I probably didn’t really notice happen!

Some changes come naturally and are easy to accept, while others can feel challenging. And often, those around us may not fully understand why we struggle with that change.

It's important to remember that our feelings are valid, no matter how others react.

Change can be tough, even when it leads to something positive.

So, let’s be kind with ourselves, recognise our emotions, and understand that it’s perfectly okay to feel this way. Acknowledging our feelings helps us figure out how to move forward.

If you're finding any part of your change journey difficult, know that CPG Therapy and Wellbeing is here to support you. Sometimes, talking to someone in a non-judgmental, relaxed space can make all the difference.

I'm here for you whenever you need it!

Good afternoon everyone, I’m just sharing the link below for the “listen again” opportunity with Erewash Sound Radio, when I attended back in November. We talked about Wellbeing in the workplace, how we (meaning everyone not just CPG) can support, the importance of doing so and how it benefits the workforce and the business.

If you do listen and have any feedback or questions, please don’t hesitate to make contact with me, and feel free to share.

Thank you

Sarah ☺️

Sally Peacock speaks with Sarah Saxton of CPG Therapy and Wellbeing Support, going in-depth about how we can make a positive impact on well-being in the workplace, in business and for solo-preneurs.

So yes… I am still here 😄

Can anyone relate?

The last month — or maybe the last two of 2025 — were positively full. In the best possible way.

Professionally, it’s been an exciting whirlwind. I appeared on Erewash Sound Business Show Radio, began delivering services at Prime MS Centre to support their community, and planned (and started delivering) wellbeing services for a business, which I’ll be able to share more about very soon. I’ve also held many individual client sessions, launched monthly networking meetings with ScreenPop at Long Eaton (you’re very welcome to join us — just send me a message), completed a podcast interview that will be released later this month, attended networking events, and yes… navigated the festive business socials too.

And that’s just the work side.

As many of you know, I’m also a single parent to three wonderful children — and if you’re a parent, you’ll understand exactly what comes next 😅 The mental load required in the lead-up to Christmas deserves its own qualification: school concerts, choirs, parties, Christmas dinners, jumper days, spellings, reading, parents’ evenings… I’m out of breath just typing it. And of course, all while preparing for a certain bearded gentleman arriving via chimney 🎄Plus decorating the youngest's bedroom and building a cabin bed - yes it was very interesting 😆

It was a busy, beautiful, slightly chaotic couple of months.

As I sit here now, I feel deeply grateful. Grateful for my supportive network, my wonderful family and friends, and for the fact that C.P.G. continues to be known, trusted, and accessible to support people on their life journeys — personally, professionally, or both.

So, 2026… I’m ready. And it's been a busy 2 weeks already.

Where is our journey going next?

And if you feel C.P.G. could be part of your journey, please don’t hesitate to get in touch 😊

Good afternoon everyone, it’s been so busy here at CPG.

First I would like to share, we are going to be on Erewash Sound Business Hour tomorrow night at 7pm. Tune in to listen about wellbeing in the workplace.

We are now part of 3 businesses, supporting their wellbeing in the workplace-more info to come, we’re based at a centre in derby 1 day a week offering therapies for their service users/community and we’ve had the pleasure supporting individual clients on their personal journeys.

It’s been a very busy couple of months.

Feeling so grateful to be part of all of this. ☺️ I hope you are well and remember, here if you have any questions regarding wellbeing in the workplace and therapy services and how we can support you. Just give us a call or message.

Have time for yourself and distress, self care is so important. ❤️

🌿 Today is National Stress Awareness Day 🌿

At the National Hypnotherapy Society, we believe in supporting mental wellbeing and reminding you that you’re not alone in managing stress.

Stress affects us all, but small steps like taking a mindful moment or seeking professional support can make a big difference.

Our registered hypnotherapists are here to help you find calm and balance.

Let’s take today as a reminder to pause, recharge, and care for ourselves.

🌿 Offering, Receiving & Asking for Support 🌿

Last week, I found myself needing to do all three — offer support, receive support, and ask for support.
If I’m honest, the hardest part wasn’t being there for my family — it was asking for support myself.

Support comes in many forms — a kind word, a listening ear, a gentle nudge when we need it most.

Many of us are comfortable offering support to others. We do it naturally — we care, we listen, we help. But when it comes to receiving support, or even more so, asking for it, that can feel much harder.

It might bring feelings of vulnerability, guilt, or fear of being a burden. Yet asking for support is one of the bravest and kindest things we can do for ourselves. It’s an act of self-awareness — a way of saying, “I matter too.”
Support isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s a reminder of our shared humanity. We all need a space to be heard, to be held, and to feel safe enough to explore what’s really going on for us.

So today, whether you’re offering support or learning to receive it — please remember to be kind to yourself in the process. You’re doing your best, and that’s enough. 💚

If you would like support on your own journey, please feel free to get in touch — I’d love to hear from you.

🧠 Not therapy — but informed by therapeutic skills
👥 For individuals or teams of 2–3
🕒 Flexible 45-min sessions
💬 A chance to reconnect with what’s going well — and what’s heavy

✨ Now also offering in-house wellbeing workshops to build connection, reflection, and real culture change.

📩 Message me to learn more or book a free intro call.

Let’s make wellbeing part of the culture — not just the crisis response. 💚

I’ve found myself recently having conversations around loss—and gently pointing out to people that what they’re experiencing is actually grief.

Grief isn’t just about death.

It can also show up when we lose something we thought we’d always have.

💔 A relationship ending
💔 A job that gave us purpose
💔 A version of ourselves we no longer recognise
💔 A friendship that quietly faded
💔 A future we imagined that never came to be

These kinds of losses can be just as painful, confusing, and valid. But because they’re not always talked about in the same way, people often carry them quietly—unsure if they’re “allowed” to grieve.

Over the past couple of days, I’ve caught myself speaking about my previous job—and it hit me that I’m still grieving that loss too.

I loved what I did, and I believed deeply in the impact I was making. Even though I know that the change in my career path was the right one (and one I’m proud of), I still miss that role—and the sense of identity it gave me.

Grief, in this way, can be quiet and unexpected. It can sit with us even when we feel sure about the choices we've made.

As a therapist, I often remind people: grief is the natural response to loss. Any loss.

If you’re feeling sadness, anger, confusion, or even numbness after a change in your life—it doesn’t mean you’re broken. It means you’re human.

Grief doesn’t follow a neat timeline, and it doesn’t always look how we expect. But it does deserve space, compassion, and support.

If this resonates with you, feel free to share your thoughts—or reach out. I’m here if you’d like to talk. 💬

It’s been such a lovely week so far, and I just wanted to share a little update. ❤️

On Monday, I had the chance to attend the Screenpop Entrepreneurs Expo in Nottingham. It was truly inspiring to meet other professionals, hear about their personal and professional journeys, and connect on a genuine level. The event was really interactive – each table had something fun to do, which made it so much easier to relax, chat, and enjoy the experience. It was a great reminder that work can – and should – include fun and connection.

On Tuesday, I went to my first Long Eaton Screenpop group meeting (I’m now a member!). What a lovely bunch of people. The atmosphere was relaxed and supportive – everyone just genuinely wanting to see each other do well. If you’re curious about joining us sometime, please let me know – we’d love to have you.

Later that day, I spent the afternoon at the Lilian Prime MS Centre, (Ade Litherland) where I’ve now started offering weekly Hypnotherapy and Talking Therapy sessions. If you’ve ever been, you’ll know how calm and welcoming the space is. It honestly feels like a little haven – the kind of place where it’s easy to settle in and just be. Staff and service users are so lovely, they welcome new visitors!

On Wednesday, I finally got to meet Matt Kelly – we’ve been trying to catch up for a while! He’s such a genuine, kind person. We had a great chat over coffee about life, work, and how our paths have evolved. If you’re ever in need of graphic design support, definitely check him out – I highly recommend his work.

I’ve also welcomed some new clients this week and started shaping their therapy journeys, which always feels so special. And after a bit of settling in, I’m really starting to feel at home in the new office too. 🏠

It’s been a fulfilling week full of connection, inspiration, and positive steps forward. I hope your week has been kind to you as well, and if you ever fancy a coffee and share your business/personal journey, send me a message. would love to meet you or have a catch-up.

🌟 Hi everyone! I haven’t posted much recently, it’s been a busy few weeks at CPG, filled with networking and reconnecting. A huge thank you to Nikki Hall , Sarah-Jane, and Fiona for your support and wonderful catch-ups!

There are exciting plans brewing with the Prime MS Centre- watch this space and I recently had the joy of delivering a workshop titled “Let’s Talk about Wellbeing in a Nutshell” for a new local business. ☺️

I've been part of some amazing Resilience Training led by Wendy McCristal MSc CEng CErgHF at The Mental Wealth Company Ltd. It was inspiring to see everyone's passion in the room, and as always, Wendy delivered the course brilliantly!

I’ve also been honored to support my clients through Hypnotherapy and talking therapy services, witnessing their incredible journeys firsthand.

Additionally, I attended a workshop on supporting children with anxiety, which will be invaluable in my practice as I support individuals and families in the workplace.

I had an enlightening conversation with Helen B at Harmless about their vital services focused on mental health and su***de prevention/postvention and I’m looking forward to echoing their messages in my own work.

On a personal note, I’ve been supporting my own children as they navigate new chapters in their lives with school and college. We also took some time to declutter our home, which has a calming effect on my wellbeing. Plus those walks in nature have been a breath of fresh air!

It’s been a whirlwind, but every moment has been worthwhile. I’ve learned so much about myself and how to better support others.

Remember, every day is a school day! 😊
